Message 1536668 - Posted: 6 Jul 2014, 6:05:36 UTC - in response to Message 1536603.  


I didn't think there were still people who would so grossly attempt to stick their nose in the air and scream they are superior, my way or the highway.

Its funny you took it that way, when I've said time and time again that it is something that I consider lucky chance. I also made a statement that I am white, but I notice that you haven't accused me of claiming superiority because of that.

Glad you noticed. I'm led to believe that race makes no difference in UK. That there is no race problem in UK. That is it only the terrible USA that has a race issue. So why would I bring up a non issue? And that is you doing the leading BTW.

Yes, it is considered bad taste to point out when you are smart, but it is apparently ok to point out that because you can pay your water bill you are more worthy.

Lets talk about not paying your water will for six and a half years. However you paid your electricity bill for six and a half years. You paid you gas bill for six and a half years. You paid your phone bill for six and a half years. You paid you cable TV bill for six and a half years. You paid your internet bill for six and a half years. You paid your rent bill for six and a half years. You paid your food bill for six and a half years. So what's up with the water bill?

Want me to assign blame? Okay. I blame someone at the water company. If they had done what they should have done six and a quarter years ago and shut off the water, we would not be having a discussion about a bill of $6,000.00 in arrears. Nor would there suddenly be hundreds of water meters being shut off all at once. No that person at the water company is 99.9% at fault. Obviously it became known that you never had to pay your water bill. So everyone who heard this stopped paying. After all if there is no consequence to being a deadbeat, why not be one?

In any case Detroit went belly up. A bankruptcy trustee looked at the books. Demands to pay up or else were sent out, something that should have been done years ago. As it had gone on for so incredibly long the bills got to impossible levels. Now suddenly there is shock and horror at reality. As to that 0.1%, that belongs on the individual. The inability to realize bills are going to have to be paid some day. I fully get that most Americans are up to their eyeballs in credit card debt. Most have no concept of how to budget their life. Just like student loans. That is a failure of American teachers to teach facts of life, and I'll admit they are likely busy teaching creationism instead.

Never ceases to amaze how many think there is no consequence for their choices or actions. Just got through responding to a letter from DPSS requesting a wage statement for an employee who is apparently on welfare while they are getting paid $25/hr, three times minimum wage, full time. Somehow I don't think that qualifies, but I'm not expert on this. Nor do I understand why the letter said the matter would be referred to the DA because the amount the employee told DPSS didn't match the amount we told EDD on our quarterly tax forms. Is there actually some consequence to lying?

Maybe I should close my eyes and plug my ears and sing LA LA LA so I'm not exposed to all the hypocrisy and amoral behavior in society today.

You dont even have to go back that far. Look at any major disaster. Some folks will band together and help out their fellow man. Others band together and act like Gengis Kahn looting and pillageing all they can get.
In the event of a really major stress on humanity, My bet will be on the Gengis Khans to win out.

Mine will also be on the Gengis Khans to win. Being a ruthless SOB does get you ahead.

I know I told you I wasn't going to respond to your posts in this thread anymore because I felt you were taking my comments too personally, but I feel the need to correct your misunderstanding here.

It was another poster that bought up the race issue in a post that is now gone. Hence why I felt the need to address it because it clearly is an issue here.

It was clearly an issue with that other poster. But don't apply transference.

I am sorry, is there a problem with white people understanding that they have a level of privilege that other races do not share in America? Perhaps there should be some education in that area, rather than just telling the black people they you won't help them (or at least stop harming them) because the white people think it is unfair.
Let me say this about that. The Irish, Italians and Chinese all were discriminated against because they aren't WASP, they are all dong fine in America.

It isn't about race ether. There is a large Liberian community in Newark NJ. They work, own houses and help each other. You wouldn't believe what they say and think of the original African-American residents of Newark. You can't call them recast now can you?

I'm led to believe that race makes no difference in UK.
There were riots in Brixton because of stop and frisk.

They are now, but the history was a little different..and there was a big problem with Irish and Italian gangs in the past.

Yes you can. The liberian community do not have the same history as those descended from slavery. It will take a lot of work to overcome what they have lost. It is only recently that you abolished segregation.

We had a few riots on Brixton. Mostly triggered by deaths in police custody. I remember a couple of them. Very sad to see people's frustration build up so much that they destroy their own community.

OBW I never said that a herd is mindless, that is your invention. As to group cooperation, beehives, ant colonies, termite colonies. All require cooperation and they are amazing in their complexity and engineering.

What sets us apart is the fact we use planning. That allows us to choose our goals.

There you go again. That is totally 100% not true. This cesspool should be shut down, I'm sick of paying for it.
I just sent Rep. Steven Palazzo (R-MS), Chairman of the subcommittee on space an email. I told the Republican representative he would be wasting our tax dollars if he votes to continue funding this total waste of bandwidth.

Someone disagrees with my opinion! On the internet! SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN!

If you don't like being confronted with ideas that differ from your ideal, why don't you just leave?

Thousands of people living in 3rd world conditions in his own country wasn't enough to get him writing to a representative, but being disagreed with on the internet was.

Anyone else see the disconnect here?

ffs, and people wonder why I seem angry...

Really? I quote from the sworn testimony before the House committing on May 21, 2014.
Our SETI program currently receives roughly a million dollars a year in research grants from NASA and the National Science Foundation.

I pay for this with my taxes, you are the free loader. It appears it is a way of life with you people. It is you and your ilk that can't stand the heat and because you can't defend your agenda.

Doesn't that refer to the Seti project in general (those radio telescopes and what not), not Seti@home.

I do contribute to this project, given that I let the project use my computers processing power. If you gonna accuse me of freeloading, you better come up with a better argument than this.

There you go again. Down the page you said "There is currently no government funding for SETI research". So how does the Templeton Foundation make misinformation the truth? You are starting to sound like the eccentric posters defending mythology as fact.
