I have read some of the other topics on this forum, and it’s obvious that this forum is majority left leaning, but yet, I was still kind enough to post my thread, even though I knew that it might be unpopular, due to the make up of the forum. I do however demand respect, and I will not converse with or reply to anybody who foolishly believes that they may ask a question, sandwiched in between insults. Time is simply too short to be spending it on people of no consequence and others who display juvenile tendencies. If the goal was to get rid of me, then you have succeeded, and you may continue to live in the bubble that you share with likeminded people, though I do suspect that many of you are in for quite a shock soon, especially the ultra-intelligent leftist who predicts that Trump will be dropping out before the first primary. If the goal was to keep me here, for entertainment purposes or for other purposes, then you have failed, because I have decided that this forum is too boring for my needs, and the typical liberals that can be found on this forum are no better than what is found on other left leaning forums. If it is a circle jerk that you desire, then you may proceed. However, it will most definitely be without me, and I hereby bid you all adieu. ---

Or is it maybe a simple photovoltaic sensor that measures something like skin color maybe? 😃 It’s a machine that measures bodily functions such as respiration, heart rate, blushing and eye movement in response to emotionally provocative questions. For example: you’re in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see an infidel. It’s crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the infidel over on its back… ---

Yes you stupid illiterate idiot, it does. _ **But I replied to your** _ grotestquely stupid and incoherent reply, and commented on its utter idiocy, and on how completely incompetent in thinking and logic it was, on its own. Your post on its own shows you are quite stupid (as do these responses of yours, showing you lack some of the basic ability to think and read). nothing to do with the OP, or even the response, which is clearly a trolling and I have no concern about. Just your post, being completely stupid and having no coherence on its own. ---

Just your post, being completely stupid and having no coherence on its own. Because I point out that a prediction is not the same as advocation I happen to be the idiot? You’re a funny gal. Are you foreign or retarded? I ask because it’s clear simple English stumps you when it includes big words like “if.” And the comet was an example of how “predicting” a bad event is not equivalent to “advocating” a bad event. I am seriously puzzled how you figure out how to log in to your account if you can’t comprehend that. If an analogy caused your mind to short circuit I’d hate to be around you if you bumped into a metaphor. ---

> [@octopus](#): > > Because I point out that a prediction is not the same as advocation I happen to be the idiot? . because you completely are unable to comprehend the difference between statements and ‘predictions’ about human action and ‘prediction’ about a physical event 100% outside the realm of human action. It shows such a complete lack of any reasoning ability so to be truly amazing in the level of stupidity. But it is expected from you. (although your sad and drunk bumbling attempts to insult by using the worn-out bumper sticker phrase insults are in keeping with the low and weak intelligence you display) ---
