No, there wasn't a sound to hear after all! No, nothing!!

Never claimed to not see how you think. I said you were wrong. Pay attention please. (Either not paying attention, or not reading all of the posts -10)

Most authors write for their own entertainment, not to merely provide you with information.

Agreed, but you have not busted any assumption, only reinforced it.

No garbled statement, you heard me quite clearly. We are not all equal, and therefore I do not treat all individuals equally. Respect is earned and I am quite certain you heard me say that before. (Making me repeat myself, thus wasting resources -10)

The reference is to our conversation, not your profession. I will make one post when one will accomplish my task and you will work to find the little bits you choose to respond to as opposed to responding to the entire post, or the conversation will end.....and I'm a carpenter.

You are more than welcome.

Agreed, it's a fantasy to believe that I will stop responding to you merely because you don't like the format of my writting. Furthermore, it's simply a needless waste of resources to post 1 reply for each comment. Somewhat like giving Social Security to a 65, but otherwise perfectly healthy person. This is the second time I have given this response....remember the respect thing? (Repeating myself, wasting resources -10)

> You do not know me. Am I republican, or am I democrat? You do not know.
> Am I on the left, or am I on the right? You do not know.
> You cannot tell from a simple request that I am liberal or whatever.

So then if you know that much, what makes you think my opinion is based on one request or even this topic alone? Do you foolishly think this is the only topic I read or that you respond to? (Foolish assumption as you have over 1000 posts -10)

Agreeing with me has nothing to do with it. Living in reality does.

>> Well they say ignorance is bliss. I've yet to see it proven wrong.
>> Especially by liberals.

>You must be speaking of yourself again. ;-)


O really? Is that why YOU included the smiley face? (-10 for scarcasm without thinking.)

You lost 50 points in 1 post while gaining only 10. As I stated, respect is earned.

Now that you mention it Lena, I don't hear anything either. :-)

Alright idiot, now who's not paying attention or reading all? I said "provides information" in my
statement. [Go ahead, re-read it, I'll wait an hour or so for it to sink in.] I wasn't talking about reading Sci-Fi,
Romance, Mystery, etc.

Ok, [b]garbled may have been the wrong word. Maybe incoherent is a better one.

I do not need justification from you because I work for a living. I have been around and working considerably
longer than you

Your single posting theory is only working to aggravate. To the best of my knowledge, I have responded to each of
your statements. If I haven't it's because I found what you said irrelevant. And, if I believe what I read in the
bolded text above, then you, my friend, are a hypocrite. Think about it....

WOW!!!! Again, he agrees with me.... [Launching fireworks.... oooh, aaah....]

It's a fantasy to believe that someone narrow minded, as yourself, could even understand the term: WAKE UP TO REALITY!
I don't believe that you will ever stop being disrespectful of people. Your writing format shows that, all too well.
Explain to me the resources you're wasting by even being here, else, get off the resources kick.

I remember, a while back, explaining to you that the Social Security one collects does not come out of your
pocket. I will pay, say, $150.00 out of one paycheck to SS. That $150.00 gets credited to my SS account (my SS
number being that SS account). If and when I collect SS, it will come out of my account and not yours.

You have said as much, re-read the thread.

No. Unfortunately, I have read your mush all over these boards and waited until now to respond to it.

What does the number of posts I have made have anything to do with this discussion? You must be jealous. :-)

> > ....
> Agreeing with me has nothing to do with it. Living in reality does.

I beg to differ. I have seen that the only posts you reply to with any semblance of respect are those that agree
with you or that you yourself agree with.

What? You can't take a little sarcasm? Poor you. ;-(

Respect is not earned by giving and taking points. It is earned by the ethical treatment of others.

Save for my calling you an "idiot" above because you did not fully comprehend what I stated, I believe I have not really
shown any "real" disrespect to you. You, on the other hand, have resorted to name calling, innuendos, and insinuations
in the mojority of your posts.
