Your use of those statistics was feckless because it obscured the point being debated rather than elucidating it. At best it introduced a distracting tributary into the flow.

Whatever I may be, I am not a destructively arrogant person, unlike Bush and Cheney.

What are Bush and Cheny destructive of?
Due to arrogance?



The set of the Democratic party has struck me as arrogant for quite a while because they act as if they were the embodyment of all virtue, all unityu should be striveing in the direction of their program , all disunity is a result of the other half's backwardness.

[domer]

It's your mirror, not mine.

By the way, Bush and Cheney, most notably, were arrogant in their conception of the Iraq war, their method of persuading the country to follow their belligerent impulses, and their unbelievable course of denial-in-the-face-of-facts, which caused them to botch the occupation completely. You don't have to be smart to be arrogant; a foolish "pipeline to God" or an unrenerated tendency to solipsism, in this case the inability to see beyond one's own limited thoughts, will do quite nicely.

"...the inability to see beyond one's own limited thoughts,..."


What a standard you set.


What do you see beyond your own thoughts?

[domer]

Virtually the entire of creation, and so would say any sane person.

Wow , I only perceive what my senses , learning and imiganition can bring to my understanding.

I had no idea that the whole of creation was so accessable.

The question, Mr. Putz, is what do I consider beyond my abilities.

[Plane]

The question, Mr. Putz, is what do I consider beyond my abilities.

A quick reference to my Yiddish dictionary tells me that we are decending into Knutian invective.


I don't consider any particular thing to be beyond your ability.

Not even your ability to do that most ardous of things ,

Persuedeing me.

But your defineing of wisdom and your assertion of perceptivity ,

has not,

Has as far as yet

[domer]

That's the most absurd thing, but not the dumbest thing, to have come out of your mouth in a long time. Set up MY goal as being within YOUR exclusive control? I've had enough of this. See ya later.

The claim was that the middle class was shrinking and that people were becoming poorer.

The statistics showed that the opposite was happening; people were becoming richer.

You wanted to discard those statistics and assume that people were becoming poorer and try to solve that problem.

If I have achieved absurdity without stupidity I am very gratified.
