Now you have a problem with the families of the people killed SUPPORTING their country honoring the ones who have fallen.. Is there no end to your level of disrepect?? Oh wait you will probably say it was me who was disrespectful or you just posted an article. If it's not your opinion then why did you post it? Why not challenge it? You won't challenge it it because it is your opinion. |

Hey Paul, I've been meaning to ask you. Who'd you get to post some minor credit for you so that it looks like you are crunching for BOINC/SETI? You have NO computer[s] listed and yet you show that you have 11 credits. I really don't believe that to be very fair to those of us that legitimately crunch work units for BOINC/SETI, who unerringly donate our hard earned CPU cycles to the science. Do you? I seem to remember you being offered the ability to legitimately crunch WUs for BOINC/SETI and yet you declined. Is it the politician in you that makes you do such dastardly deeds?

Cap- Say what you mean The real deal? Just what is it You're wanting to say? Spit it out Or is spitting Out of line? |

Cap- That's funny Carl. You tell CA to say what he means, when you have never been able to say what you mean. It's like Pauly-poo saying I don't understand what someone said, when he has just shown that he completely misunderstood what I (or some other writer) has said. (I know, that last sentence was too complex for Pauly-poo to comprehend, but that's the irony of it.) |

>>>That's funny Carl. And you're right Tom- It escapes me how a lone someone Can be depicted as: A war ciminal drug addict ne'er-do-well reclusive hermit pussy-whipped wimp meglo know-it-all general dumb-ass I just watch and listen It is pretty funny, Tom- As an educated person I'd think you'ld know better...cc |

>>>That's funny Carl. Read Pauly-poo's posts, not with the eye of a long-time friend, but objectively. Maybe you will see why he attracts such scorn. Maybe you won't . . . |

>>>Maybe you won't . . . You're right there, Tom Alot of what PZ has called out is some vile stuff The focus of it, (trying to be objective) Appears to me to be a yelp of alarm from an ordinary citizen You have a perfect right to honor and revere the elected representitives Of the US government To pat them on the back for a job well done It is your perception, your right- And you're right to believe however you want But I believe the president of the US is a moron And evidently, so does Zimmerman Is that OK with you?...cc |

>>>Maybe you won't . . . Absolutely! You and Pauly-poo can believe whatever you wish--this is a free country. But (you knew there was going to be a "but"), two things: one, when I disagree, and give my reasons, why should I just sit and take it when I am called a fool; and two, why should someone who refuses (yes, I am using that word right) to crunch for BOINC use this facility to spout his nonsense, over and over, without regard for the feelings or thoughts of others? I have other concerns about what Pauly-poo does here, but think for a while about those two points. |

Cap- I posted a Pic that paul-poo had posted with all our current leaders depicted as war crimes villians.(Paul is an American) I considered his posting of that Pic as Un-American. I just changed the pic to reflect my feelings about Pauly-Poo, As long as PZ can post his crap I will post mine..... |

>>>Maybe you won't . . . Carl as a human being you have the right to beleive what you wish, as I and other have the right to disagree with what you beleive. However, after a while spewing the same antiquated news over and over and over telling us how you feel gets old. We know Paul doesn't like Presidents Bush Policy. Hell I don't like them all either. We don't need to be reminded of his dislike of Bush's policy 20 times every day. There is an Anime Series called "Full Metal Jacket" It's about a young alchemist trying to restore what he foolishly lost. In the begining of each show the mention the First Rule of Alchemy. I think it modified form applies here. Equivilent Exchange. If you are going to use a resource you should at least participate in the science that the resource supports. |

OK Carl, this is exactly what I’m talking about: Pauly-poo’s latest. This post of his was right after my response to him. He ignored my response, did not give any reason why I was wrong, and called me (or supposedly, anyone who agreed with the position I had just posted) . . . an idiot. This is the “friend†you support and defend. It makes you look as foolish, when you refuse to see his faults. I think that this exchange, going on right here in this thread, is an honest effort by you to understand the anger Pauly-poo attracts. Again, you can have your opinions about Bush, Republicans or me, and I’m sure you are not the only ones with those opinions; but when you slam Bush, the Republicans or me, call any of us names and don’t back up your insults with reasonable argument even when directly challenged, then you are acting like a troll, and folks around here will act accordingly. I can see your point, can you see mine? Can your friend? |

..........called me (or supposedly, anyone who agreed with the position I had just posted) . . . an idiot. No, tom, that's not how it is. That's just what you want to think. You had replied to a post stating the opinions of the US Comptroller General, Stuart Butler, head of domestic policy at the Heritage Foundation, and Isabel Sawhill, director of the Brookings Institution's economic studies program. In your reply you called their information 'idiotic'...... You said these respected economic professionals were making idiotic statements.... I didn't ignore your post, I thought it was highly amusing. I'm surprised you aren't US Comptroller General, since you know so much better than any other economist what financial policy will produce which results.... But tom, ...........You were the one calling people idiots.... I didn't call you an idiot, I posted another opinion and article that confirms that what you call idiotic is a widely held economic analysis. I said in my post, in anticipation of your expected reply and as regards your reply, .....that this confirming information is just the opinion of more 'idiots'. But it was your branding of people as idiots, ...not mine. You're funny, .....you got a blockage somewhere, tom? Exactly what you're talking about is usually only a figment of a convoluted persecution syndrome you suffer from as you try to apologize for your hero.... Clear out the fuzz, tom. I may have held the belief that you were misinformed, but it's your posts where you claim I call people idiots and it's your posts where you do call people idiots...... |

I didn't call anyone an idiot, I said their argument was idotic and I gave my reasons. You ignored my argument and then you said " . . . more idiots, pay no mind." Posting that right after my argument, you can say that it was not directed at me and my response, but as you were "pay[ing] no mind" to my post, it clearly didn't mean anything else. So, you were trying to be clever, toss out an insult that you can then deny--how very politician-like of you. You remember "deniability" don't you, the term Nixon used in Watergate? Who are your heros again? [Edit]: I put in the link to my post for ease of use. |
