"Let the states decide!"

[kenandkids]

... You're awfully literal minded, hmm?

This is why I included the upper bound. The upper bound represents the best possible case for your estimate, at the upper limit of "hundreds" and "tens". Even in your best case scenario - farther then what I would deem plausible, but still top of your estimate - there still would not be a significant effect.

If you think there is a significant effect, you do the math. It's not hard - 5th grade material. Put up or stop claiming that I don't understand when the lack of understanding is so clearly yours.

Rofl! Standard teafuck argument.

"Nuh-uh! Your wrong! Now quit disagreeing you meanie!"

I take it you can't do simple math then?

Thanks for agreeing with me!

Can you stop this please? It's not funny, it's fucking cringeworthy...

Teapublican commandment:
Thou shalt not educate or improve the lives of the lesser classes, the lesser races, or women.

Which of these "commandments" has Arthur committed himself to?

Accuracy my sexy British arse.

Which of these "commandments" has Arthur committed himself to?

Accuracy my sexy British arse.

Let's see:
He stands with the party, and supports the policies, that takes money from the lesser classes (everyone but the top 5%) and hands it over to the top 5%. He has supported this the entire time he's been on here, have you somehow just missed it?
He supports the party, and the policies, that close down high performing "black" schools while keeping underperforming "white" schools open. His stances on politics and government are the very stances that will insure blacks and latinos have the hardest possible road to success.
He supports the party, and the policies, that are cutting money from WIC and foodstamps. This directly affects women and children primarily.

Does that help? Or is today just "Be Offended on Behalf of the Offensive" day?

When has he said that "he stands with the party"? Specifically please.

He supports the party, and the policies, that close down high performing "black" schools while keeping underperforming "white" schools open.

Where has he said that he "supports" the Tea Party? Again specifically.

His stances on politics and government are the very stances that will insure blacks and latinos have the hardest possible road to success.

Did you mean ensure? I think I'll let Arthur answer that charge. It's unlikely he'll agree with that assessment. Your school system seems (from the outside) so fucked up it's surprising any of you succeed.

Has he ever specified his party affiliation?

No it's just annoying reading piss-poor replacements for wit.

 

[kenandkids]

Ah yes, that beloved tactic of creationists. "I didn't say such-and-such exactly so you lose!"

Yes, it is rare but I do occasionally misspell, what a great job pointing it out... :roll:

He consistently supports and defends teapublicans.

As I said, I'm not aiming for wit. Accuracy is it. The tea party and the republcans have become interchangeable and each member simply adds or drops the "tea" designation depending on speaking engagement. Thus: Teapublican. They have also demonstrated nothing less than a thug attitude, "Do what I want or I shut you down, steal your home, dissolve your townships, close your schools, suspend government, refuse to pay debts, etc.. Thus: Teathuglican.

Even more accurate for a great many of these despicable people is American Taliban... Tealiban if you will.

I don't stand with any party. I generally support Republican principles; limited government and such; but by no means do they have my unreserved general support.

In case you've missed it I'm consistently against wealth transfer in any direction. I want government to be less powerful precisely so they don't do that kind of crap.

He supports the party, and the policies, that close down high performing "black" schools while keeping underperforming "white" schools open. His stances on politics and government are the very stances that will insure blacks and latinos have the hardest possible road to success.

I was pointing out there may be reasons for doing so other then malice; your first and only conclusion. Anyway, that's an isolated situation. Generally I support policies that promote independence as opposed to dependence; which I feel will have the best results for everyone.

For perspective, I married into an immigrant family. The earlier generation barely speak English and got along on house-cleaning and dress making. The later generations are upper-middle class professionals - and they did it in most cases without any government assistance at all.

He supports the party, and the policies, that are cutting money from WIC and foodstamps. This directly affects women and children primarily.

Dependence versus independence again; but this is a whole different topic. *shrugs* Like you I'm not concerned with too many niceties, only what I consider (and evidence shows to be) the most effective solution.

So you can't actually provide the evidence of your assertions, and Arthur disputes them himself. Thought as much. Oh and your aspersion is as weak as your puns.

Taking a particular stance (or in fact many) doesn't automatically confer membership of a group; users of this forum should be intimately aware of that.

Methinks you missed the subtlety of that one. The Dim-ocrazed often have problems when they're the butt of a joke.

Rare? Please... You're talking to someone trained to notice; it's just not often relevant to highlight it.

Has he ever specified his party affiliation?

He consistently supports and defends teapublicans.

Does he? Links please. Remember, people and parties aren't principles or policies. Black and white thinking helps no one.

No it's jut annoying reading piss-poor replacements for wit.

As I said, I'm not aiming for wit. Accuracy is it.

Either way it's an utter failure. No evidence provided by you and the one under the microscope disputes it clearly. As previously noted, accuracy my arse.

You Dumb-ocrats and your wargarbles...

The issue is your repeated use of the terms to describe Arthur; I'm well versed in wordplay.

Even more accurate for a great many of these despicable people is American Taliban... Tealiban if you will.

:facepalm:

People here are always talking about being unfairly demonised by whichever other side... Let's just leave pastiche to the professionals eh?

 

[kenandkids]

Shares more of his deep outrage.

Okay peanut, you win. Now go rest your head before you get an offence related embolism.



I'm deeply sorry Arty for damaging Proly so viciously by ever insinuating that you are a right-winger or that you support teapublicans. Since everyone here knows you just aren't conservative and don't support them or vote for them, I'll never again insinuate that you don't vote Democrat across the board.

 

[Prolescum]

Didn't realise you were only twelve. I'll wemember to bwing wowwipops for you next time.

 

[impiku]

He was suggesting decentralization of government. I have no idea you get from that to "Then we'll break up Walmart and give each store to its employees!", but I've learned not to question Joe's leaps of illogic.

You're right! I didn't know that my statement needed an elaboration. *facepalm

And I was pointing out the utter stupidity of the position of being against decentralized government power while being all for centralized economic power, as though economic power isn't a greater threat to real freedom.

Where did I say that?

 

[ArthurWilborn]

impiku, let me summarize Joe for you.

Governments - always good, can do no wrong

Corporations/Millionaires/Republicans - evil people that suck the blood of the poor defenseless workers; sociopaths who are deliberately trying to ruin the country and the lives of all humanity

Proles gonna come hunting for you cause Joe never said those EXACT words! Duck!

Oh wait...

Look Chupa chup, missing apostrophes aside, you rabidly asserting that Arthur is a Tea Party supporter/member, despite the lack of evidence and the person both suggesting otherwise, simply because he has right-wing views, is clearly exactly the same as Arthur describing the general stance of Joe as he sees it... :roll:

Taking umbrage because you made yourself look like a tool is pathetic; you're just highlighting your own irrational behaviour. Somewhat like a Tea Party member... Trying to make me out as the bad guy because I can tell the difference between a loon and a conservative is just embarrassing.

All you're doing is demonising Arthur instead of showing him why he's wrong. That kind of thinking deserves nothing but contempt wherever it rears its head.

When you reach political puberty, let us know.

 

[australopithecus]

Thin ice is thin, and partisan pissing contests are stupid. While there is no rule against being tediously vocal about whatever unimportant political team makes you feel fuzzy inside there is a rule against insults, so keep it up if you want a few days holiday away from this forum. I'd be happy to pack your bags myself.

 

[ImprobableJoe]

Look.

Arthur is consistently wrong, dishonest, and backs positions that are ethically reprehensible. Plus, he's convinced himself that I'm guilty of everything he is guilty of... no surprise there So I stuck him on ignore, and I don't respond to his comments even when you guys make the mistake of quoting him. I'm happier not to have his poison on my screen, threads don't get derailed, and the mods have less work to do.

If someone pisses you off, STOP READING THEIR POSTS! Stop interacting with them, instead of following them around slinging insults. That's just dumb and a waste of your precious time.

 

[televator]

^^Fair point. I've been thinking of putting him on my list anyway.

 

[CommonEnlightenment]

Yep,

One lesson that is valuable in life is that life is already short enough and dealing with some bullshit is just not worth it.
