Don't you mean "here, here'?

My thinking, Blixa, is not black and white.


I was agreeing with Stak's portrayal of Buffalo.

No true philosopher would be as antagonistic as you have been. Your emotional rants are an indication of of your misunderstanding of the subject.

Talk to me when you have passed beyond your emotions. An advanced student of philosophy would understand what I mean.


wat?

Honestly, Q, I agree with Stak. The attribution of "true intellect" as only found among "liberals" or "conservatives" is rather simplistic.

Nor would I characterize any post of Stak's as a rant. An acerbic critique? Yes. But he's not lobbed one of those your way.

Fair enough!

I don't think I said that, but OK.

Stak seems to have decided that I'm not is friend. I'm not sure why, but it is a little annoying. His claim to be a philosopher or student of philosophy doesn't really play out well when viewing his posts. His very opinionated points of view do not point to someone who is looking for a true explanation of reality.

Maybe when he gets a little further into his studies.

Trite is your word. Your lack of response is telling.

I know, your anecdotal evidence is an overwhelming justification for classifying conservatives as you did. When I saw :

My statements are based on many years of conversations with both liberals and conservatives.


I knew it was air tight.

It's only my own experience. Something you may not understand, yet. I don't know why you have decided to be antagonistic towards me. I would have thought that our thoughts on the world, in general, would have been similar.

Still, if you want to continue being an adversary, I would suggest we just don't address one another.

I find your responses juvenile. Adolescent. A bright adolescent, but still juvenile. Looking for a fight instead of looking for a friend.

Lets talk when you get past all this.
