I really enjoyed his tactics of posting so much information, without actually touching on his original ideas and how they relate to that. That was sure a mighty impressive list of school shootings that he posted, but how does it all relate back to his idea to ban carry at college "party town" bars? By showing a propensity for violence in the age group and no link to college bars or drinking? By that same token we should ban carry in bars in major cities because gang bangers might drink there and we know that they're violent. Bah.

Long, eloquent postings don't make you right, and detract from your original post regarding your position, but when it's fundamentally flawed that's the idea right? I think something should be this way, and here's my weak link and tons of irrelevant data to try and support that. I think he's missing the big picture, all those people listed committed a plethora of crimes, how would more laws stop someone who knowingly broke the law? Good riddance to him.

Thank a deity I am not that kind of liberal. I do.

Do people really talk/write like that or was he taking an hour each time to rewrite his posts (premeditatively :wink: replacing $.10 words with $5 words)?


16 years of college will do that to you.

Welcome to the forum. I seen a red flag rising when you described yourself as a moderate 2A supporter. There is nothing moderate about my support for the 2A. I know some others who say they support the 2A. In fact, one is sitting in the oval office right now. I for one, do not believe my RKBA should be infringed upon by any form of government, local, state, or federal. We have enough "moderate" support.

I was thinking the same thing.......better than a decade and a half of college.....and unemployment..... :lol:

The guy can't just tell you the time....he needs to go into great depth on the science and intricacy of watch building. :bang:

Every now and then you run up on one of these condecending types. :roll: That's the way I read it. :twisted:

I was entertained by the double standards. Truth be told, I got rather dizzy just trying to keep up with what point of view he was going to use to keep his other point of view not the point of view he was espousing to say was his point of view at the time he made his point of view his point of view....

Follow me?

Graduated with my Bachelors Degree, entered the workforce. While working I also completed grad school and got my Masters. By the time it got to the point of deciding whether I should go for my PhD or not I had firmly made one observation.

Schooling makes you stupid.

There's a big difference between what's taught in the classroom, and how the real world works. Most people intuitively understand that, but the longer people sit in school the harder it is for them to accept that.

Wow, that was amazing.

I just went through all 9 pages so far.

How many words did he post in his short career?

If you can't make your point in less than 200 words per post, um you're doing this all wrong.

It was like forum spam, but in college professor speak.

I'll give him $5,000 for his '1911A1', (did he mention a manufacturer?), his single mag and Uncle Mike's nylon holster though.

Unfortunately, they really do talk and write like that.

I had to take a multicultural philosophy course as a cross-discipline thing for my political philosophy series in college. The professor actually TALKED like that in every lecture.

She came to an agreement with me. She gave me an "AB" (kind of an A- / B+ for those used to normal grading) in the class, and I stopped coming to her lectures. Seriously! :D

There were 4 or 5 of us who were a constant PITA to her. This lady was so far left she was off the charts. We were never disrespectful, but we brought constant facts to bear on her arguments. I guess she thought it made her look bad...hey, it's her fault she ran the classroom as an open debate, and the rest of the class was more than happy to defer to our little group!

I was the worst of the bunch for her. My formal emphasis was Constitutional Law (I did the pre-law track), and our professor required you to stand up for yourself if you wanted anything above a C. :D Best person I could have ever had introduce me to the subject.


Philosophy is a wonderful field of study (unfortunately I only took one course: Philosophy of Science). I can understand studying the works of philosophers from other times and cultures. But I suspect "Multicultural Philosophy" is a different creature and requires a screen of fluff to legitimize it, as with so-called "Women's Studies."

A philosophy professor who can neither tolerate facts nor defend her views!? Sounds like she picked the wrong field. Way to make class miserable for her!


On another note...

Uncle Harley "wrote":

Show me my exact words. Whoever is spreading this libel is either ill-informed, or they are indulging a knee-jerk reaction from an unwarranted extrapolation of a characterization I made after repeated attempts to get an individual to not be so hasty in rushing to judgment about my posts as a result of not reading them carefully.


"I was unfairly accused!" would have been more economical, and he could have spared us one last blast of verbal diarrhea. Good riddance.

Not just 16 years of college, but 16 years of the right kind of college. Sixteen years in... say... Math, Physics, or Engineering, would leave you equally unintelligible but you would still sound nothing like Uncle.

My favorite line out of Grad school, "If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called research!" :D
