Fighting common sense with ignorance is the norm here at The Crooked Tube-of-Glue forum and in well documented in the threads, Cosmic Thinker, Free Ridicule Forum

The above is a resultant of a sad lack of intellectual integrity here at Crooked Tube-of-Glue forum.

The above is also a resultant sad lack of moral integrity, also well documented, here at Crooked Glue-Forum.

It is now becoming more well known that people with cruel intentions shut off activity in a part of their brain and in doing so, they allow themselves to treat fellow humans only as material objects, to not be treated with respect, compassion, empathy etc…

In Cosmic Thinker thread the uneccessary ridicule is uncalled for and specifically asked not to be posted and it is not.

In same thread it is asked for others to address specific comments by me, with rational, logical common sense, that actually invalidates any of my concepts as given.

It is obvious to those seeking truth, that, we have a circus of ridiculing from appears to be glue-sniffing monkeys, who are fighting common sense with ignorance since 1973…

Well, if you’d care to make a specific assertion, or take a specific position on a particular issue, expressed in an English paragraph that you can help me parse, I promise I’ll attempt to give you a rational and courteous reply. I’ll even try to employ logic and common sense.

I think we need to thank **ebuc76** Johnson for saying what had to be said.  
Not only was it authentic internet gibberish, it expressed an insanity little seen in this day and age.

Three main branches of philosophy: ethics, aesthetics, and methphysics. Ethics is everything that is neither aesthetics nor metaphysics, aesthetics is everything that is neither ethics nor metaphysics. Metaphysics is “What the fuck is everything, anyway?”

I would like to take the utmost unctuous umbrage with this. I for one here at Crooked Glue-Forum™ shut off activity in a part of my brain with only the best intentions.

I admit to being slightly ignorant about figs, and I would have thought that **Chefguy** was the right person to enlighten us. Now I don’t know where to turn.

I’ve shut down my mind to figs. If God’ hates 'em, that’s good enough for me.

You have yet to _give_ anything that remotely resembles a ‘concept’. Until and unless you do, ‘rational logical common sense’ that can ‘actually invalidate’ or even _agree_ with your so-called ‘concepts’ is not possible. We are not responsible for your irrational lack of communication ability. Sorry.
