"andy andy, fyi, larry is teasing me..."<BR/><BR/> I didn't say Johnny dropped out because of my 'brilliance'. Johnny stopped responding because his chinese and anonymous sponsored websites could not hold up under minor scrutiny.<BR/> Also, if you look at the timestamps, the "time to ignore larry" post was about 30 hours after Johnny stopped posting. This is just another example of liberal revisionism.<BR/> I did not call an anonymous poster a child molester based on his/her college degrees. I called the anonymous poster with the exceptional credentials of "education and psychology" degrees a (gasp) teacher (gasp). I then accused the teacher of being a child molester based on the FACT that teachers are molesting more children than the Catholic priests. <BR/><BR/>I challenge you to name a professional occupation besides the two mentioned in this post that molests children at a higher frequency than 'teacher'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-1151468535592806162006-06-28T00:22:00.000-04:002006-06-28T00:22:00.000-04:00Andy, FYI, Larry called an anonymous poster a chil...Andy, <BR/><BR/>FYI, Larry called an anonymous poster a child molester based on their college degrees.<BR/><BR/>JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-1151459300035421722006-06-27T21:48:00.000-04:002006-06-27T21:48:00.000-04:00Larry, Johnny didn't drop out because of your bril...Larry, Johnny didn't drop out because of your brillance but because he and so many others decided to follow the wise advice recently posted which said: It's time to ignore Larry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-1151446378189333652006-06-27T18:12:00.000-04:002006-06-27T18:12:00.000-04:00Ostroy, I did learn something in this thread. ...Ostroy,<BR/> I did learn something in this thread. <BR/><BR/> I started this thread with a respectful post stating that I may agree with some of the 5 point plan, but disagreed with a couple points (one of which was the surrender clause). <BR/><BR/> Johnny contradicted and we had a civilized discussion. Eventually he quit the discussion because I was quoting reliable and verifiable data, while he was quoting a chinese sponsored website and 2 anonymously sponsored websites. I even explained that I believed Republicans and Democrats (and other countries) share the blame of today's global problems.<BR/><BR/> As usual, when liberals are backed against a corner and have no where else to go, they turn to character assassinations. Liberals cannot admit that the Democrats share some of the blame because that might injure their "hot" quest to regain power - which blinds them from the truth.<BR/><BR/> I also learned that when democrats are facing facts they don't like, they will ignore the facts. Democrats are happiest when no competing opinions are presented or discussed. When someone voices an opinion that differs from a liberal opinion - it must mean that "The Republicans" are lying, or conservatives living in red states are stupid, or even the person must be a nazi, or gay.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad the Democratic party is the incredible shrinking party, because America would be in a lot of trouble if they got some power. Liberals need to stick to killing innocent babies, it's what they do best. Leave the heavy lifting to conservatives.<BR/><BR/>The democrats were wrong when they wanted slavery.<BR/><BR/>The democrats were wrong when they were hosing down black people during the civil rights movement.<BR/><BR/>The democrats are wrong as they continue to re-elect Robert "KKK" Byrd to office.<BR/><BR/>The democrats are wrong today.<BR/><BR/>The whole reason the Bush administration can spend so much money is because they know that the Democrats are not a viable alternative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-1151435535320497812006-06-27T15:12:00.000-04:002006-06-27T15:12:00.000-04:00Larry, you're right.

But I think you may have hopefully gained some valuable insight from the last several posts. No one on this board originally "actually said" you were a "child molestor," but thr rumors, and the subsequent attacks, starting flying nonetheless as a result. Just like Bush and Cheney never "actually said" Saddam was responsible for 9/11--which was your claim. However the blatant innuendo and non-stop mentioning off 'Saddam and Iraq' in the same breath as '9/11 and terrorists' left about 75% of Americans believing he <EM>was</EM> responsible. The power of pursuasion, as you can personally see from this thread, is enormous. What happened to you here Larry is that innuendo, to many, became <EM>fact</EM>, and it put people on the offensive against you. Nothing else mattered. Propaganda, when effective, can be brutal. Bush and Cheney's irresponsible rhetoric about Saddam was wrong then, and it's wrong now.The Ostroy Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955421147082736335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-1151423889101388572006-06-27T11:58:00.000-04:002006-06-27T11:58:00.000-04:00We KNEW your name wasn't Larry.

Liberals don't have the ability to stay focused. You're never going to win an election. <BR/><BR/>Need something else to attack me for saying?

Why do you jump to such pie on the face conclusions? <BR/><BR/>It's really a snapshot into the paranoid bigotry of a kool-aid drinker when you do that. Did you say at one point, you have a Master's Degree? If that is correct, which I am doubtful of, you would have remembered dealing with critical thinking, synsthesis of information, and unbiased observation. Unless you went to an underfunded red state college, then I can believe you received a watered down degree.<BR/><BR/>An observation can be made by anyone, including you. Making an unbiased observation is more difficult. Take off the filters. Don't know what those are? You must be a teacher, a priest, a union member, because of your degrees are examples of filters.<BR/><BR/>Is money a measure of success for you?

Now that's quite impressive. You must make $10, maybe $12 per hour with that background.

When you aren't analyzing the 'complex' emotional state of children, I bet you are molesting them. After all, teachers are the only ones more actively raping children than the Catholic priests.<BR/> If you are a teacher and a member of the NEA, I challenge you to quit your union.

To do so, would require them to examine just what they believe in. Consumerism is high on their list and so, I suspect, that's why this state is also high on the bankruptcy list. Duh - if I charge too much or take on too much debt, I might not be able to pay for it. But I want my toys!!!! <BR/><BR/>Religion is high on their list, also. If I let someone else tell me how to live and what to think, then I have more time to play with my toys!!<BR/><BR/>Insightful thinking and certainly thinking for themselves is NOT a priority. My degrees are in education and psychology, so I do know what to look for. It ain't there.<BR/><BR/>So, they take the language bait and think that the Bush Co. rhetoric is the word of truth. Hell, it may even be from God himself, since the pResident is born again.<BR/><BR/>So it's easy to see how the truth is shaded or left out in what is said by this administration. They are playing to their dim lightbulb base after all.<BR/><BR/>My susupicion is that they don't WANT to think. That would entail growing intellectually and that's too much work.
