I can't agree more. The more I hear from people who think they are above the average person in insight the less I respect their opinion. The more they try to push their ideas of understanding the less I respect their opinion. So far it has not failed me....

I really don't think you want Griff to do that. He's probably to polite to, anyhow.

The real question is, does this apply to UG?

It applies to everyone.

Isn't it ironic?

glatt · 11-23-2011, 07:48 AM

Couldn't get any more ironic if you tried.

SamIam · 11-23-2011, 09:27 AM

The ironic pot calling the kettle black.

Urbane Guerrilla · 11-24-2011, 12:09 AM

Hey, check that out: Sam just thunk a worthwhile thought. Even if he burns his thumb on the irony, he thunk one.

ZenGum · 11-24-2011, 02:43 AM

So ironic it is haemochromotosic.

classicman · 11-24-2011, 10:30 AM

UG in order to be accurate, you'd have to realize that Sam is a she not a he.

SamIam · 11-24-2011, 10:59 AM

Classic, shhhhhhh! You'll ruin all the fun!

mercy, et al:

Those who have lost credibility with me are those who are hypocritical. They are not found only in religious circles, but political ones, social ones, legal ones, technical ones, etc. I have pointed out before that people with strong, inflexible fundamentalist attitudes are the ones most likely to suffer this kind of loss of stature with me. Religious fundamentalists, strict constitutionalists, zero-tolerance advocates, "true believers" in some one true way, these people are expert only in deluding themselves about the real world. It is these people in whom I place little trust.

In other 2012 Republican news:

Cain has suspended his campaign.

Is this a good thing though? Now we won't have Cain to kick around anymore. I mean, who else will we mock for quoting ASH KETCHUM of POKEMON fame?

Srsly?

Herman Cain Exits Race With Admission That He Did Quote Pokémon That One Time

by Frances Martel | 4:08 pm, December 3rd, 2011

Last summer, during one of the several dozen or so Republican debates since the campaign season began, Herman Cain came “under fire” for using a very suspicious poem in his closing statement– one that happened to quote the theme song to Pokémon: The Movie 2000, but that he attributed to “a poet.” And this was the way his campaign ended today, not with a bang, but with a “pika,” finally admitting, “I think these words came from the Pokémon movie.”

SERIOUSLY?
