What about people who post because it gives them amusement (as has been admitted by several) to naysay with no sincere desire to learn or address information that is or has been presented?

You said — “What about people who post because it gives them amusement (as has been admitted by several) to naysay with no sincere desire to learn or address information that is or has been presented?”

Now don’t include me in that group where I’m posting expressly for the purpose of amusement. I do have fun on Free Republic, because I like posting here. And..., there are many amusing things here. Some of the “thinking” is amusing. I like to keep a light-hearted view on many things (better for one’s health, doncha know...).

But, that has nothing to do with going “online” for the express purpose of creating amusement, which is what you’re trying to say — and — (in addition) *as if* — I didn’t have those opinions in the first place.

In other words, those are the opinions I have — whether they are accepted by others or not. And being that they are my opinions (and I think they are *right* too...) — it does not keep me from being amused by others’ thinking that I think are humorous.

If that’s too subtle for you, I can’t do any better than that....

Conferencing at the SCOTUS. Rogered certificate There are freepers that have made themselves experts in many areas....Shall be just share those essays to be posted again and again in response to those who don't get it the first time?
