I got stressed out just reading the first few paragraphs, how circular is that?

Getting stressed out over damaging your brain because of too much stress?

Colin must have missed it when he copied and pasted that line from his post a while back.

Get some new material!

It's kind of like those old American sit-com's they enjoy so much; over and over and over and over...
Makes a person dizzy -

I don't know why I bother to post on the cooler, Rich makes a comment which when challenged to elaborate he merely ducks the issue then gets abusive, Col seems to be holding a grudge, and , well I think I'll retire to the garden.

Brian

Where did you challenge me to elaborate Brian?

 

[Rich]

Rich, you've been told over and over that argumentum ad hominem is not a valid argument.

You're the one trying to make an argument out of it, I merely made a statement.

 

[pbaldy]

Its well known that Condo Rice is the "token" black in GWB's administration.

are there any? <relates to a quoted question about highly paid blacks - PB>

On your first point, people offering that opinion doesn't make it a fact. In my opinion, if you want a token, you appoint them to positions of less importance (like Clinton did). The Secretary of State is 4th in line to succeed the president. I don't think you appoint a "token" to that position.

On your second, this is exactly the un-informed position I was talking about earlier. Without even getting into all the ultra-rich famous black people, I personally know at least 10 who make well into 6 figures. I went to a high school reunion of an old "all-black" school, and there were more Mercedes, BMW's, Jaquar's etc. in the parking lot than you could count. Certainly not "hard statistics", but please don't think every black person here is sitting on the street corner with a tin cup. That's just plain ignorance.

Which contributed nothing.

 

[Rich]

Which contributed nothing.

Subjective

Subjective

You got some kind of kick out of it you mean

 

[Rich]

No, why would you come to that conclusion, other than being American that is?

 

[KenHigg]

... That's just plain ignorance.

Just plain too much hot tea, tarts and Chps

 

[Rich]

Just plain too much hot tea, tarts and Chps

What's chps, something the poor in America have to eat?

 

[dan-cat]

No, why would you come to that conclusion, other than being American that is?

One of the interpretations of 'subjective' is existing only in the mind and not the real world. As you said, the contribution factor of your statement was subjective, so I proposed the possibility that the contribution was of one of personal gratification.

P.S How does me being American influence this rationale

On that basis I could argue that all of my 20k posts bring personal gratification, well I suppose that since my sole purpose is to attempt to educate the lost souls and help where possible you could be right
but the again one could argue that you're beyond help

P.S How does me being American influence this rationale :confused

History, both recent and past that Americans jump to the wrong conclusion, unless you're going to argue that the actions of America over the last say 50yrs. has nothing to do with Americans

 

[Kraj]

P.S How does me being American influence this rationale

Because simply being an American is the single contributing factor to anything and everything that Americans do. Duh.

On that basis I could argue that all of my 20k posts bring personal gratification, well I suppose that since my sole purpose is to attempt to educate the lost souls and help where possible you could be right

You know what, Rich? I'd bet money that if the UK decided to make it legal to marry yourself, you'd be the first in line for a license.

LMAO - you could indeed if not one of your posts was objective. Is that what you're saying Rich? That each and every one of your posts is devoid of objectivity?

History, both recent and past that Americans jump to the wrong conclusion, unless you're going to argue that the actions of America over the last say 50yrs. has nothing to do with Americans

Your argument is wrong because there is something wrong with your character blah blah blah... yawn.

I'll use the American opt out clause Daniella and leave it to God to decide

There's nothing wrong with my character and in any event we're talking about America

That's Miss Daniella to you

Quelle surprise!

Wishful thinking?
