Quoting Wittgenstein to LonesomePolecat is like trying to reason your one-year-old out of crying to get attention.

You are, apparently, one of those twits who thinks an obscure quote from a famous philosopher somehow constitutes a devastating riposte. Are you really as shallow as you sound?
Conservative - seeks to repress people and exploit resources.
Liberal - seeks to repress resources and exploit people
That kinda works
[/QUOTE]
I am kind of comfortable with that. This just reveals the ultimate bankruptcy of the conservative movement, though. We will run out of resources someday. But sadly, we will never run out of people. Since I am a quoting fool today, I will conjure up another bit of wisdom for the world to demonstrate the superiority of exploiting people over resources.

Ok, now I have officially had it with you. The riposte is not devastating because it is a quote from a famous philosopher but because it is true. Your own internal moral yardstick is so feeble that it is incapable of measuring anything save its own inadequacy. You are one of the few people I have ever encountered, on the internet or otherwise, who has actually made me embarrassed to be both white and male. I take comfort that even though there will still be people like you in my lifetime, that number is decreasing at an increasing rate. Some day, all traces of your way of thinking will bleed out of our society and be gone forever. It will not be missed.
OK, that stung.

I like Shodan because of posts like this AND because he was very kind to me when I first joined the board.

Thanks, but currently I am working on a sort of creepy, attention-whore, stalkerish kind of vibe. So expect a good deal more groveling, begging for attention at the cost of any sort of human dignity which is obviously motivated by a lack of self-worth and deep-seated personality flaws.
Or, as we call it in the Shodan household, foreplay.
Scylla, I must thank you for posting so often to this thread in your determination to prove that it’s a waste of time. Thank you for the lengths you’re willing to go to fight ignorance.

Well, at least you don’t confuse foreplay with taking out the recycling.
Bravo! What a masterpiece! It certainly was worth the wait. That Picasso fellow’s artwork looks like the scribblings of an infant with a large crayon by comparison.
