So it really doesn't matter how we style ourselves here.


I have just told you above that appearances are everything. Therefore how we

No, when he Rush L:imbaugh] gets fired up he will say really outrageous
things that no one
else would dare say. That in my book is entertainment!


Haw haw haw! "No one else dares!" Reminds me of the time howie stern
had to apologize to the hispanics for making fun of
selena-what's-her-face's death...gee, who would have thought that 80%
of the market for flatulence, fake tits, and ethnic humor made by a Jew
is...hispanic! I bet most of bush limhog's fans are transvestites.


Stern is a scum bag which only other scum bags follow. Congratulations! I
have now got you down for a scum bag and that is how I will treat you from
now one. Are you also a Jew scumbag?

More importantly, one liners will not cut it here in the long run. Try to
enlarge on your thoughts. Most particularly, try to avoid just one
sentence
per paragraph. This marks you as a quipper (is this a word - one who
makes
quips), but not necessarily a wit. Most of us should never strive for
wit.
It is clearly beyond us as it requires a very high order of intelligence.
Even I, the Great Ed Dolan, am not capable of wit. Alas, I can only do
low
grades of parody.


Sarcasm is indeed the laziest form of rebuttal.


Parody is not the same thing as sarcasm. Consult a dictionary for the
difference. Your sarcasm goes nowhere. Did you not read what I said above
about one liners?

What you need is a website! Like so:

As for appealing to dictionaries, how would you know if a word is
misspelled?

Naw, not a 'bent rider, although I wouldn't mind trying to ride one...
I remember the Vic-20 though, I actually worked for Commodore Business
Machines the summer they brought out the C-64, did some programming
with a demo that had serial number 6.

As for computer mags, kinda liked Byte myself....

Yes, both are true. Therefore, appearances matter. Who we really are is
unknown, even to ourselves.

Aristotle was wrong about most things under the sun as was Plato and
Socrates. But still they were superior to the Orientals that had existed up
to that time. It took the Renaissance before man began to think at all
logically about things due to the emergence of scientific thinking.

Yup, he is Jew all right and a New York Jew too - the worst kind. He and
Howard Stern are birds of a feather - liberal and scummy!

We will never know will we because you did not include the pertinent passage
to which reference was being made. Like all half-educated slobs, you do not

Appearances only matter to fools.

Actually, that's you.

It was a rediscovery of Aristotle that lead to the Renaissance. Prior
to that, the Church was all about Plato.

Like I said, I would...but I'm afraid you'd only go postal in a
bookstore.

Of course, that all depends on what the Dickens you mean by "superior"
in this case.

(Don't bother -- it's rhetorical. Was only reminded of a program last
night on PBS about that Egyptian Pharaoh who believed in one god, and
how the narrator used the most outlandish superlatives without
qualification or explanation: "the greatest empire ever," "changed the
world forever," etc. For your own much-needed information, you'll want
to remember Oxford don Joseph Needham's eleven-volume "Science and
Civilization in Ancient China.")

. It took the Renaissance before man began to think at all
logically about things due to the emergence of scientific thinking.


No, the ancient Greeks were already codifying formal logic. And as far
as the empiricism of scientific thinking, nothing could be done without
its actual practice, whatever the circumstances of its actual
codification as theory, so the fact is that it was already

Who's "he"? What are you talking about now?

Never heard of google?
