Misunderstood and being victimized?

Hmm...sounds familiar.

Ya know CK, you keep feeding me the company policy on young folks and I'm likely to keep dismissing your views.



In all fairness to ya, I think you're being sincere.

And I'm not lumping you in with Doug either so don't fret over that. I've known him to bait and troll for years on here. I just want you to know nothing he says is held against you.

Dismiss all you wish, but perhaps you could learn something

I know that you have the world figured out and there is no room for growth in your mind, but as they say...

"Never stop learning..."

"Sometimes you learn the most from the most unlikely places..."

In all fairness to ya, I think you're being sincere.

Sincere, and naive

And I'm not lumping you in with Doug either so don't fret over that. I've known him to bait and troll for years on here. I just want you to know nothing he says is held against you.

Actually, I'd have no problem being lumped in with Doug (though I'm not sure he'd say the same about me ). That dude seems to be one of the more reasonable posters on this site (along with my main man doublee).

Oh Lord CK, your last post did nothing to help you.



Doug and Tarkus just had a 2-page debate on scrutinizing elected officials and the importance of voting during which Doug announced he couldn't even remember who he voted for in 2004.



I mean...either a troll technique of sorts or no credibility. I don't know which cuz I don't take it seriously. Did you even read that?

Then again, that could be me and my closed mind there.



But I gotta run. Little work to do here on my conference period but the young minds just waiting to teach me will be returning shortly.

No worries... I'm done trying to "prove" myself to you. Nonetheless, I like our discussions, even when you belittle me

I didn't read that, but it doesn't mean much to me...

I can identify with memory loss

I would love to sit in on one of your classes.... :lol:

Got no problem with that.

Of the two, I mean I'm certainly OK with "no credibility" if someone comes to that conclusion. Might be futile to defend myself, but...

Is it really that big of a deal if I don't remember who I voted for in a Primary that was already decided? My thought process on both was absolutely the same. That doesn't mean I think both candidates are the same and if I could pick one to absolutely make President I wouldn't pick Sharpton and would at least consider Kucinich. That wasn't really the point, though. The primary had been decided and through the process the thing I liked about both compared to Edwards, Kerry, Dean and the like was that those two candidates talked a bit more about other issues than just the war.

My assumption for why I can't remember is that only one of them was on the ballot and that that's what made my decision for me.

Don't worry Doug... If you vote for a major party candidate, you're just a sheep, and you have no credibility to begin with... PLus, if you are under the age of 35, you really have no knowledge or experience, so don't even try...

[HibachiDG]

heh, well, as buckeye alluded to, already been there. You're doing a much better job of handling him than I did, it seems. Following up your post where you say he is being condescending with "Nonetheless, I like our discussions, even when you belittle me" is a lot different than how I handled it. (Not that I'm agreeing to buck's line that I "bait and troll for years", because that one actually bothers me, annoys me a bit, but, in terms of being condescending back)

Is that some type of lawyer-speak... Because I had to read that 4 times before I understood you

[HibachiDG]

Absolutely, gotta make them read it at least 4 times so hopefully on the third the judge gives up, passes the motion, go home.

Gotta work on that sense of humor, CK

It's what keeps this forum from sounding too serious.

Uh ho...

This is starting to sound like an excuse from doing what you said about replying which is fine except you've done this in the past where you've said 'reply later' & then only appeared in a thread to do a Rodney Dangerfield.

Sorry... I will address you post before the day ends :thumbup:

[Tarkus]

Look forward to it...

I'd like to get CK's thoughts on a few threads where he didn't get back to me as well.
