Isn't that the typical behavior of a think-the-know-it-all
teenager?

I've seen Hillary Clinton do it to Bush. It's a typical
reaction
to a statement so far off the wall that one has trouble figuring
out how to _start_ educating the person making it.

You just might not be so much smarter, better informed and more
deeply educated than other people as you may think.

Come on, John, if the smartest woman in Washington can do it, why
not
the smartest man on the Internet?

I'm sorry, but the post from Stephen Hawking has not made it to my
server. Would you be kind enough to quote it?

His problem was that the facts, with which he might "educate" us,
simply weren't on his side.

Which facts, that the Chinese don't adhere to American notions of
morality? Or that they have a far greater population density than
the US, making reduction of their population a societal priority?
Or
what?

I guess now we'll both be accused of whining.

No, you I'm going to accuse of being too chicken to debate me
directly.

OK, John, here it is - as simple as I can make it. Perhaps you can
follow.

I took issue with your implication that by riding a 650 cc
motorcycle
you are using less fuel than others. I asked you to provide the
numbers, but you declined to educate us with them. Nothing about
China or the Chinese. Nothing at all. Got that?

No chickens here, John. Just one jackass, and it ain't me. Or,
perhaps you've just been riding without a helmet for too long.

Fine, you win, I was not rolling my eyes at a comment about abortions
in China (although oddly there doesn't seem to be a post in which I
rolled them about anything having to do with motorcycles or fuel
economy) and I'll sell the bike and go back to driving around in an
SUV so that I can save gas.

Oh, by the way, plonk
