“scuse me while I jump this post. I simply must “say what must be said”
“What appears on the surface to be harsh even rude is often what must be said.”
That’s the problem, Toots, you ain’t SAYIN’ anything. Cheap shots don’t count as “constructive” criticism OR debate. And that is all you have offered so far. WHo do you think you are- Bill Mahar?
“Socrates found the best way to get at the truth is through argument which is a kind of battle. My comments are of that form.”
Don’t insult that fine philosopher. He was referring to actual debate. I guess you missed that part of the class.
You seem to have a grandiose impression of what you have to offer. I don’t know you and don’t recall running into you before, but what I have seen here reminds me of others, like you, that I have run into in a rather long life. Negative, foul-tempered EVERY day, having lots of criticism but never an idea. In between your posts, are you out on your porch yelling at the kids to get off your lawn?
You, sir, are a bore. I just had to say what “must be said”.
Your suggestion will do NOTHING. Urkle would pay no more attention to it than Hitler would have a rabbi.
That I pointed out in my first post. No one has refuted it.
Some ideas are worth no more than a laugh this was one of them.
Sorry that I don’t take every idea as valid.
