The downfall of civilization

Jun 01, 2001 20:35

Today, I was witness to a horror that I pray our children and grandchildren are never subjected to...many of you know Him as Ben Matlock, or as science calls him...the oldest man alive. I was somewhat disgrunted before the incident anyway, as I had sat in 4 degree weather the night before to watch Milwaukee beat the Cardinals like they stole ( Read more... )

I don't have a direct comment, per say, to this entry. But I do have one towards your overall demeanor. I'd like to think this is coming from a fairly impartial source, seeing as though I don't have to put up with your childish antics on a regular basis. So here it is: Someday, my friend, someday soon, you'll learn what it is to have an intelligent discussion/debate without signing off as soon as the moment arises that you feel you are losing. Now, I understand that it is hard for a guy with an ego of such immense porportion to come to terms with the fact that he is being outwitted by a force of thunder of the opposite sex....but it's time you joined the reality that the rest of us have been involved with for quite some time. Sure, it isn't always a pleasant place, but it at least allows us to fathom that different people have different opinions...and just because those opinions do not relate to your luckluster view on life, does not make them wrong. Ultimately, I hope you will take away from this analysis that I am not in ( ... )

Well, I feel as if I have been unfarely attacked. You make me out to be this egotistical self-infatuated jackass, who cares nothing of other's opinions. Anyone who reads your entry may falsely assume that I do not allow for open communication or healthy debating. This is not true. However, I cannot justify talking sports to someone who questions the offensive authority of Mark McGuire, or someone who has no idea who Albert Pujols is. Pertty soon, you'll be telling me that you hate apple pie, and that Leonardo wasn't the best Ninja Turtle. Your city hasn't won a single sporting event since Larry Bird left the Celtics. In order to save you further embarassment, from now on, when I want your opinion...I'll give it to you. Thank you for your time.

"When I want your opinion I'll give it to you" Well, I must hand it to you, you've managed to capture an entire gender's bigoted faux pas in one single sentence. Bravo. You've clearly reached deep into that over crowded chauvinistic brain of yours for that one, although , I'm not sure of the exact year in the 1950s that your time machine warped you out of. Let me just point out one slight, hypocritical error in your irrational thought process you called a rebuttal. "You make me out to be this egotistical self-infatuated
jackass, who cares nothing of other's opinions. Anyone who reads your entry may falsely assume that I
do not allow for open communication or healthy debating. This is not true"

To continue my point (seeing as though my computer is lucipher himself and decided it was time to post my comment when I was clearly not through) . You write this fictional statement, insisting it to be fact, when not 3 sentences later you point out, and I quote, "when I want your opinion I'll give it to you." Now, this may be me, here...but how can one go about claiming their open mindness and ability to reason with others, and yet, pronounce other's opions for them???. In other words, just so I'm on the same page here, you care about other's opinions, as long as their your own? Okay, I gotcha now.
