There is a wide, fuzzy line between people who are less intelligent than average and people who are, well, special. When I debate people on the other side of that line, I feel kinda dirty.

You think that there's something inherently better about you, more worthy about you, that makes it right for you to receive government assistance in times of need, but there's something inherently wrong or unworthy with the "other" (who, no doubt are "urban") which makes them just useless takers when they benefit from the same system you have.


According to Lee Atwater, the specific aim of the southern strategy was to get the white-trash vote by pushing for economic policies that were bad for white trash. This is because he recognized that the white trash would enthusiastically support such policies because they’d recognize that “blacks get hurt worse than whites.

Getting certain posters to recognize this fact is as futile as getting fish to recognize the presence of water.
It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

I understand and agree. But that line is fuzzy. It's easier to recognize the signs in real life - more difficult on the internet. But I do admit I am considering simply putting ldsfaq on ignore so I don't feel kinda dirty either, when I really wonder about him.

I know. When I enter these conversations, it's always with the caveat that I am likely wasting my time, so it better be time I can afford to waste.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

In the meantime, while you're wasting your time trying to sound educated and erudite:

How would you know I'm trying to sound educated and erudite? You don't even read my posts. You just vomit more of your backed-up bile regardless of what you're supposedly responding to.
