Hi Smokey...

Welcome to these Threads.

A refreshing pause from Intelligent Discussions.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Apart from pain. And maybe humiliation. And obviously death. And failure. But apart from fear, pain and humiliation, failure and the unknown and death - we have nothing to fear. Who’s with me?

Hi Smokey...

Welcome to these Threads.

A refreshing pause from Intelligent Discussions.

How would you know?

I do understand your silly - ain't I the greatest, most intelligent, superior to ALL those who disagree with me - types.

It is difficult 'Dumbing' myself down to their level.

Can this 'type' ever understand how silly, unintelligent, refuse to discuss issues, adolescent name calling, they are?

No. But I do get a perverse pleasure in allowing them to 'Out' themselves.

Keep it up Smokey, Gary, Sarge, et al.

Hey, let's get serious...
God knows what he's doin'
He wrote this book here
An' the book says:
He made us all to be just like him,"
So...
If we're dumb...
Then God is dumb...
(an' maybe even a little ugly on the side)

Dumb all over,
Black 'n white
People, we is not wrapped tight
Nurds on the left
Nurds on the right
Religious fanatics
On the air every night
Sayin' the bible
Tells the story
Makes the details
Sound real gory
'bout what to do
If the geeks over there
Don't believe in the book
We got over here
You can't run a race
Without no feet
'n pretty soon
There won't be no street
For dummies to jog on
Or doggies to dog on
Religious fanatics
Can make it be all gone
(I mean it won't blow up
'n disappear
It'll just look ugly
For a thousand years...)
You can't run a country
By a book of religion
Not by a heap
Or a lump or a smidgeon
Of foolish rules
Of ancient date
Designed to make
You all feel great
While you fold, spindle
And mutilate
Those unbelievers
From a neighboring state
To arms! to arms!
Hooray! that's great
Two legs ain't bad
Unless there's a crate
They ship the parts
To mama in
For souvenirs: two ears (get down!)
Not his, not hers, (but what the hey? )
The good book says:
("it gotta be that way!")
But their book says:
"revenge the crusades...
With whips 'n chains
'n hand grenades..."
Two arms? two arms?
Have another and another
Our God says:
"there ain't no other!"
Our God says
"it's all okay!"
Our God says
"this is the way!"
It says in the book:
"burn 'n destroy...
'n repent, 'n redeem
'n revenge, 'n deploy
'n rumble thee forth
To the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side
'cause they don't go for what's in the book
'n that makes 'em bad
So verily we must choppeth them up
And stompeth them down
Or rent a nice french bomb
To poof them out of existence
While leaving their real estate just where we need it
To use again
For temples in which to praise our god
("cause he can really take care of business!")
And when his humble tv servant
With humble white hair
And humble glasses
And a nice brown suit
And maybe a blond wife who takes phone calls
Tells us our God says
It's okay to do this stuff
Then we gotta do it,
'cause if we don't do it,
We ain't gwine up to hebbin!
(depending on which book you're using at the
Time...can't use theirs... it don't work
...it's all lies...gotta use mine...)
Ain't that right?
That's what they say
Every night...
Every day...
Hey, we can't really be dumb
If we're just following god's orders
Hey, let's get serious...
God knows what he's doin'
He wrote this book here
An' the book says:
He made us all to be just like him,"
So...
If we're dumb...
Then God is dumb...
(an' maybe even a little ugly on the side)

Saying that people are "silly" and "unintelligent" is not adolescent name calling? Good to know.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

If that is what you understand, then you understand nothing at all.

Dumbing yourself down is the one thing you're good at. Your problem lies in that you never stopped. You're scraping bottom mate, and you have been for awhile.

No.

Why should they when you can't?

But I do get a perverse pleasure in allowing them to 'Out' themselves.

I suspect you enjoy a lot of perverse pleasures.

Gave me a good laugh.

You guys are never willing to discuss issues.

And get hysterical, when I respond to your insults, in the same manner as you initially insult me.

Do you guys/gals understand I am 'Mirroring' you, on purpose, and you don't like what you see?

Just a simple technique to show others what you guys/gals really are.

Will you ever understand? Nope.

They were not insults. They were compliments.

Why not start a thread to discuss one of these issues to see whether anybody else is willing to join in?

Will you ever understand? Nope.

How is this not an example of "ain't I the greatest, most intelligent, superior to ALL those who disagree with me" type thinking? A type you describe as "silly".

---

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

Yep.

I hit a sore spot.

I'm sorry to hear that. You should take better care of yourself. Which end was it this time?

Exactly as I knew it would.

Ah!

Understand? Nope.

:) :) :)

Can't say. Not my cup of tea.

Smokey...

You're not as good, as the others.

Boring. Boring. Boring.

Next.

Clyde sounds like your missing me mate , there there i haven't gone anywhere just had a break .

If that view had been expressed by someone other than yourself, I might have been insulted. It wasn't, so I'm not.

...a Discussion with you, over coffee (beer?) would be very interesting. I still believe that.

Smokey is just uninteresting.

:-) Gutted.

Psyche major mate of mine thought you'd make an interesting case study.

Showed this to my PhD. 'Psyche' wife: Your 'mate' she said, is "over his head" and needs to "Complete his education. Before making these assessments".

So she's still working on yours? He did say it was likely to be a lifelong effort.

Smokey...

Believe me when I say this: You really don't wish to compare Degree's and IQ's.

You do a good job of coming across as a supreme fool as it is, Clyde. You certainly don't need my help. As things stand, I have no worries or insecurities re the above :-) Do you?

But as I said before: You are intellectually boring.

Oh hum. Awaiting your intellectually stimulating reply.

When I need an opinion from a stagnant pedant, I'll ask you :-)

Could everyone here please knock off the personal attacks or I will have to close this thread. :/

If your post has the word "you" in it or another poster's name in it, it probably should be rewritten.

I can only offer good intentions as my defence :-) My apologies to you, Es99.

Indeed.

Good evening gents, ladies :-)
