  • What sports team do you fetishize to avoid meaningful discussion with others?

    • Are you saying those teams are substantially different somehow?

      • Do you ever stop projecting your own fanaticism?

        • Am I even fanatic about Jesus Christ?

          • Only as a reliable function of distraction and evasion...

            • How is it that you think the ultimate truth of human existence is any sort of distraction whatsoever?
              To show such, I'd need you to point to some other, more fundamental ultimate truth of human existence.
              Standing by for your "distraction and evasion". If you're going to play your standard nihilism card, please show a meaningful difference between that and any one of these madmen committing atrocities.

              • Irrelevant...

                • The ultimate existential truth is irrelevant? Well, wasn't that just revelatory?

                  • Irrelevant... Does not address your fanaticism and idolization of specific political personalities and institutions..

                    • Remind me again when I was either? As I was neither, your "reminder" will consist of making stuff up. I doubt this will impede you.

                    • Another 'derp', eh? No, the proper question is, When were you neither? You're just in denial of your own self, or more correctly, of *what you post*... Your silly little diversions will always lead to the same dead end, which is probably your intention.

                    • You're just in denial of your own self

                      Well, Judge, tell me what that is, then, as I've already stated it, only to find I've fallen short of your glory. I stand astonied at your willingness to assert wisdom, open your mouth, and emit what sure sounds a river of foolishness.

                    • As you you refuse to acknowledge, there is no judgement being made. You're just giving your standard response over and over. You leave nothing to judge. I'm simply waiting for a straight answer. You prefer charades, that's cool. Who's winning? Silly question.. You already won, many times.. You're the champeen..

                    • Let's parse that:

                      You're just in denial of your own self

                      "You're" contracts "you are". How do you use "are" without judging what "is"?

                      As you you refuse to acknowledge, there is no judgement being made.

                      I genuinely don't understand how you can use the third person of the verb "to be" as an assertion in a non-judgmental mode. A call is being made. This is where I endeavor to point out where the ruler is located, lay it down alongside the subject, and say "yeah, that looks about X inches long". But the key is not that *I* can lay down a judgment; rather, that the *other* person can look at the fact of the length of

                    • Judgement is an opinion. I'm not stating opinion. I am only describing what you post.

                      You seriously think me that intellectually dishonest?

                      Only to yourself... "Dishonesty" implies awareness of ones motivations and conscious intent. All my questions on why are strictly rhetorical. They have been answered by Pavlov and Skinner, and you, sir, are a textbook example of their work. I cannot call that necessarily dishonest, though yes, intellectually it is. But your posting does not appear to be driven by intellec

                    • Of what am I unaware, pray? You sound so knowledgeable; why can't you just put it out there, irrefutably, in the fashion of the mathematical proof?

                    • Your motivations. They are just as animal/natural as the rest of ours, and everything else's. I've put 'it' out there may times before, quite explicitly, but since you just wave them off, there is no point in repeating in the same fashion you do. Though you claim otherwise, you are no different than anything else that's out there, suffering all the same earthly attachments and desires. And this is where I step off and watch you deny again, so knock yourself out.

                    • I have denied my motivations when, exactly? Everyone is tempted, all the way through Matthew chapter 4.
                      With you, one always feels re-convicted of crimes long since confessed and, while not outgrown here under the sun, at least viewed more maturely.

                    • I have denied my motivations when, exactly?

                      Hard to specify when it is continuous, but pretty much every time you start evangelizing your religion. And "confession" is worthless without follow through. The amount of dissonance is beyond my vocabulary, but it is very impressive. And you keep on bringing up that "maturity" thing, is there a reason that I should be aware of?

                    • Wait, are you attacking me for being consistent? My task here is to reiterate the truth, and have a belly laugh at the sophistry they call wisdom in this ersatz era.

                    • Yeah, and we're getting quite a belly laugh at all your rather malignant superstitions being proffered as 'truth'. What it offers to you is the power of distraction. You're still a political fanatic and idolator, or at least that is what you post, nothing but dogma, propaganda, and false gods.

                    • your rather malignant superstitions

                      Hey, that's not bigotry: that's freedom of speech!

                      What it offers to you is the power of distraction. You're still a political fanatic and idolator, or at least that is what you post, nothing but dogma, propaganda, and false gods.

                      What is a "political idolator"? I know what each word means distinctly, but you're in a fresh dimension trying to run them together.
                      Having personally supported and defended the Constitution in a non-theocratic sort of way, I sincerely can't figure out what you mean. Or is your #Derper full and in need of a change?

                    • Just so you know, the action in Afghanistan is as anti constitution as it gets. There is nothing in there that permits preemptive attacks on foreign countries based on lies. I'll leave you to the rest of your own derp since we've already covered that ground...

                    • the action in Afghanistan is as anti constitution as it gets

                      To try to agree with you, our foreign policy is a dog that lifts its leg all over the Constitution's ideals of limited government. Sure.
                      But there is no Constitutional template for a "declaration of war"; thus, all that hideously expensive activity (I spent about a year in close observation) is pretty much predicated upon tradition, precedent, and the whim of whatever tool wins the election. If there was an impeachment basis in the Constitution, I'm confident that W would've been cashiered, and probably #Oc

                    • ...what's lacking is any sensible, consistent alternative.

                      That is no excuse to keep on doing it. It's bullshit (aside from the context of battling empires). And you have made it perfectly clear throughout that your version of "alternative" is nothing of the sort. It's lipstick on that pig called 'privilege' you keep trying to gussy up. And it's not neocons doing this, it is neo-liberal policy that is responsible, and guess when that started in earnest... Two of the most famous names in politics are attached

                    • That is no excuse to keep on doing it.

                      You. . .still have not stipulated what *else* you're suggesting, Oh Fountain \Of Foreign Policy Wisdom. For example, given the Diplomatic, Informational, Military, and Economic (DIME) [ieee.org] levers of national power, you seem intent on de-emphasizing the M. Fair enough. What sort of policy framework would you stipulate to achieve some other stipulated national strategy goal?
                      My expectations are low, low, low: by all means, surprise me.

                    • Yeah well, you can masturbate to theories of empire management all you want, the elephant in the room that everybody chooses to ignore remains the business of war as an industry unto itself, the propaganda even has you all whipped up into a feeding frenzy for more. You know, it would be a lot cheaper and better for everybody if the money was spent on free food and shelter, and stop stirring people up so you can sell more guns, but you all prefer war. Good old machismo (exceptionalism) at play.

                    • Yeah, I didn't think you were going to do more than proclaim a full diaper.
                      As a thought experiment, putting you in a position where offering a substantial idea was an unavoidable task for you would be the height of amusement. Because I'm not sure your results would differ substantially from the current parade of jackwagons in office.

                    • The only problem is your perception. Your superstitions cloud your vision and judgement. You are waving me off because... privilege/status. You latch onto it like a barnacle on a bridge piling. And you are most notable for your denials of your own nature. You're only dead-ending the discussion with more of your same old derp.

                    • Well, there's also the apparent problem that you really don't seem to have much in the way of ideas.

                    • No, you just aren't listening to anything that puts your privilege at risk, nothing new there. Just another dead end.

                    • Ah, the 'p' word. It's right up there with the 'b' and 'r' words on my guffaw list.

                    • Of course, the truth is your enemy, you have to do it that way. It's the glue that holds the blinders to your eyes. You really are extremely typical, a real throwback to earlier times that I myself am very familiar with. You're a trip down memory lane, this time *in living color* and spotless video.

                    • You really are extremely typical

                      Or am I typically extreme?
                      So, you're trying to imply that you've had some sort of epiphany, but you can't say what it was. Your argument seems to be that the course I've followed with joy and clarity these decades is no course at all, but that I should instead dismount the rudder, toss the compass, and do something else because whatever this other, nameless direction is will prove somehow "truer" or something.
                      I'm a trip down memory lane? Really? Didn't you say you were Roman Catholic?

  • What is the name of your least favorite child? I hate all children, equally.

    In what year did you abandon your dreams? 2009, when I realized the recession was going to be a severe one.

    What is the maiden name of your father’s mistress? Football.
