[Yes, folks. county](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=228528&perpage=50&pagenumber=1) Aldebaran appears as a logical and polite individual compared to you. The random axon polarizations of the two neurons that comprise your brain have apparently burned through your cardboard myelin sheaths, allowing the shit that permeates every fiber of your being to replace the neurotransmitters. They say that humans represent a great stride in evolution of life on this planet. Being an evolutionary ecologist, I tend to agree with this view. You, however,are solid proof that evolution is false, as it’s basic tenets are violated since you have evolved _backward_ into an unrecognizable form. We must now assume that there is a God, an intelligent designer. Most people believe that God is a loving God. This is obviously false too. God must have been drunk, smoking crack and breaking up with his girlfriend when he created you. Joseph Goebbels would look at you and say “Boy, you need to have some compassion!” When you aren’t [beating people with axe handles](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=217727&perpage=50&pagenumber=2) or [parking in FIRE LANES](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=218208&perpage=50&pagenumber=1), you are [advocating the physical harm of children.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=228528) Your absoutely psychopathic lack of regard for the condition of others is astounding. Benjamin Franklin sadi “We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.” You must be the hardest working person on the planet. William Hazlit said "There is no one thoroughly despicable. We cannot descend much lower than an idiot; and an idiot has some advantages over a wise man. " You have proved this wrong. There is one person thoroughly despicable. The advantages you must have over a wise man thus are hard to fathom. ---

county is back: > [@](#): > > I think that with animal companions and people each situation is different and thinking that telling someone who is in an emotional state that the “rule” is no one’s allowed back there or wherever - and expecting that to work every time - is denying that emotional state and shows poor judgement at a minimum. > > I also think that saying that there are things the “patients family should not see” is pretty arrogant. That family member may have experienced a bit more of life than you are aware of. > > In short, respect for the situation and the people & animals involved is called for, some people can offer this, some can’t. Considering that the two emotional states that _you_ are capable of are _Kill_ and _Food_, it is unsurprising that you feel this way. I can see, given that you sink in water, that you are unable to comprehend that people should not be allowed in the OR. That being in an “emotional state” does not automatically entitle you free reign in amedical establishment may be beyond your comprehension is obvious. What I can’t reconcile is the fact that you think that animals should merit more compassion than children who are abused at school on a daily basis, and who you think should be caned for speaking out of turn. \*\* Ice Wolf\*\* - Thanks. When I become a G’Doper next Spring, we’ll have to have lunch! ---

Jesus Christ! Because they are children, they shoiuld be subject to horiffic abuse, such that suicide is a leading cause of death? Where you dropped on your head as a baby? Do you posess the slightest shred of compassion? Those are your words. My words concern corporal punishment in school…as was used for decades in this country. If you want to equate that with “horrific abuse, such that suicide…” well, go ahead and believe whatever makes you comfortable. Also, who is that Torcelli and what is a bonobo? ---

I think **county** is the one who’s smoking crack. Honestly **county** , is english your second language or something? I ask this in seriousness because you seem to have a great deal of difficulty communicating in a clear, concise and coherent manner. Which seems increadibly odd considering this is a written medium, allowing you all the time you need to compose a clear, concise and coherent message. It’s not like you’re being rushed into responding. You’re also responding to things that have never been said. I always wondered how long it would be before you were pitted. This thread is no shocker. ---
