Reminds me of the advice my mother gave me a long time ago:

"Son, if you are going to mess with chicken ****, you are bound to get
some on you."

Even with a kill file, it's tough to keep clean.

Discussing ANYthing with you impossible as you have no ability to see

Tim's view is the only view. Period.


Tims view is Tims view. I guess you expect him to suffer your view?

You are a very disturbed creature, Tim.


Translation: You are too dumb to argue or shut up, so you might as well
mount a meaningless attack.

You can bend, twist, and flap in any direction you want, tossing up
straw-men by the truckload, but for you to accuse anybody of
misdirection is the best laugh I had all day.


Last I heard Tim was too ridged in his beliefs. You fools can't seem to
keep your act straight.

Your arguments cannot follow a straight line.


Agree with him or not, he is undeniably consistent in his line of
thought. You may be dumb as dirt, but surely not so dumb as all that.

You have to keep taking
detours to your stock-piles of hurtful vitriol in order to feel like
you are making a case for yourself.


Blah, blah blah.

Your venomous words are way more
disgusting than a simple '**** you' would ever be. You get all
offended by people using language THEIR way...


Wrong as usual. He doesn't seem to get offended by brainless posts
devoid of any meaningful arguments other than personal attacks and
meaningless depreciatory remarks.

yet you continue to
skewer people with YOUR vile disgusting language. Do you honestly
think you have advantage by not using curse words?


Well he certainly has a much better handle on the English language than
you, or Upscale have demonstrated.

Is that all you can
hide behind?.."oh nooooo Rob cussed at meeeeeee...MOMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"


You're babbling yet again...

Grow the **** up, asshole.


Yeah, that should straighten his ass out...

And stop trying to baffle people with your
bull****, straw-men and out-right lies.


Lies? Lies? I love when lies are exposed. What lies specifically are
you speaking, or were you just practicing your typical meaningless,
empty attacks?

There... that is English...now go whine somewhere else,


Hypocrite is the word jumps into my head here.... A whole ****ing page
of whiny attacks and then you accuse him of whining? No, hypocrite is
too nice, ballsy might work... No, asshole, yeah, that fits quite nicely.

Now apologize to Upscale or I'll ride your ass like a new bride.


That should scare the hell out of him... Ride cowboy Ride!

I agree. I've never be remotely interest in the Conservatives, but the

everything I'd consider necessary to be a leader of our country.

No, they are first responders entrenched in the system for decades.


Riiiggghhht!!!! Notice when it comes to you giving examples in your life of
how you contribute, you always come up with extreme examples of what your
relatives are or do.

When called about being negative about blacks, you claim to not only have a
black relative, but one that was blacker than most.

When questioned on charity, you claimed to make many charitable
contributions ~ anonymously, the epitome of giving.

When it's suggested that your relatives are union trouble makers in the
medical industry, you respond with the thought that they're first responders
~ emergency responders.

Do you see how all that sounds? It tells us that you're full of bull****
because you continually counter with the best in humanity (your relatives)
while you contribute nothing and exist solely to whine and complain all day
without giving a shred of consideration to anybody.

Daneliuk, you are full of ****. I know it, everybody else knows it. I
suspect (although I could be wrong) even Doug Miller knows it, but he
supports you just to hassle me.

You feel free to question my integrity by calling me evil and a thief solely
based on the fact that I benefit from country wide universal health care. I
know it's all you have. And, if that's the best form of attack you can
muster with your screwed up logic, then you stick with that. But, we both
know what's really true. I don't have to conjure up extreme examples of
contributions by relatives to defend myself. Compared to me, there's nothing
you can offer to bolster yourself.

In actuality, it's always you who has made the first derogatory comments ~
in every discussion whatever the nature. Right from the first time we were
discussing universal health care some years before anything 'mean' was said,
you decided to come out with the fact that I was evil and a thief for
accepting universal health care.

This is the internet. It's all online, even what was said years before. Tell
me I'm wrong Tim. Show me where you were attacked first. Tell me you're not
a hypocrite of the highest degree.

Castigate me as much as you want, but despite the difficulties I have
physically, my memory is excellent.

No. To disagree by throwing personal shots is irrational ... and
a sign that there is no real discussion is possible.


Bull****! You throw personal insults all the time and try to hide them under
the protection of a 'no profanity' cloud.

As time goes on you sink deeper and deeper into a lying, deceptive shroud in
a feeble attempt to hide your deficiencies.

Two observations:

1. Hypocrisy is not intrinsically bad; 95% of the nation's gynecologists are
men.

2. You can't really criticize a progressive for profanity - it's what they
do. A recent study of mainstream blogs found that the comments section of
liberal blogs contained eighteen times the number of naughty words compared
to conservative sites. For example, "Lucianne.com" has virtually zero
profanity whereas "dailykos.com" contains a high percentage of "the seven
forbidden words."

I suspect, but can't prove, the latter is because liberals argue from an
emotional, child-like, ego state rather than a dispassionate, adult
position. An emotional argument often involves an anecdotal example whereas
an adult discourse usually involves aggregates of a population ("one child
becomes Autistic due to measles vaccine" vs. "thousands don't die because
they don't contract the disease").

I've seen that statement before, but for the life of me, I don't see how it
relates to being a hypocrite. With some things, I'm extraordinarily dumb.
Guess this is one of them.

I'm not a liberal *or* a conservative, and I'm not taking anyone's "side" here, but I take
offense to anyone who presumes to speak for "everybody else". My guess is that the majority
of participants in this group are silent unless the discussion is on-topic. To hear you
(and others) loudly assume that "everyone" shares your view when they in fact haven't said a
word, well frankly it just ****es me off.

Sure, you're right that respect. I'm putting words in your mouth when you
haven't said anything. For that I'll apologize.

Let me rephrase. A significant amount of people in involved in the thread
appear to support much of my mindset.

I hope that meets with your approval.

I never suggested any such thing. I merely provided a short list of

This is like 180° opposite of the people being described. Socialist is

power hungry, anti-individual, anti-freedom, left wing, socialists...

As usual, you don't bother to reply to the question at hand and launch into
some unrelated rhetoric. Just between you and me, did you or did you not
start with the accusations and recriminations.

Answer the question dweeb.

Then your list may need some tuning. I have NEVER started an off-topic
conversation (except maybe a humorous one or two and so labeled). On the
other hand, I don't let some things go unchallenged either.

Point is, it's okay to admonish someone about what they should do even
though you, yourself, can't or won't do it. Like teachers.

But you won't get a "**** off" from a right-winger. There are two reasons
why this won't happen:

1. We don't often use profanity, and
2. As you correctly point out, we have no inhibition against killing our
enemies.

When Saul told David to bring back the foreskins of a hundred Phillistines
as a bride-price, David got all excited and started figuring how many men he
would need to subdue each Phillistine (because he wasn't counting on
voluntary compliance) and how long it would take, considering he would have
to sharpen his knife between events, and so on, Saul's emissary got all
exasperated: "David, David," he said, "You don't understand! Saul want you
to KILL the Phillistines, not CONVERT them! Saul doesn't care if you bring
back the whole prick!"

We have ways of detecting modern-day Phillistines: Usually it involves the
spontaneous declaration of "**** off."

Well, there's that. To teach, you have to speak in a language that the child
understands.

That's why the liberals are going nuts over the "You lie!" shout-out and the
Tea Party crowds and the "Help me set up a child-prostitution bordello so I
can run for Congress" methodologies. These, they understand.

First, many employers only offer one choice.

Second, non-employer sponsored plans will cost the employee much, much
more than the employer sponsored plan; and the employee may not be able

one changes insurance companies by changing employers, if it's that
important to the person. if it's a government 'insurance' company, i would
suppose one would have to emmigrate to change.

no one said either would be easy or have drawbacks.

Horsecrap. My wife and I have employer-provided insurance, but if we left
that coverage I'd be one of those "pre-existing condition" cases, in other
words, **** out of luck. There was a documentary on PBS not long ago that
mentioned the CEO of Kaiser Permanente is in the same boat--uninsurable
outside company coverage. Got any facile advice on what people should do
when in that situation, any easy slogans?


In their mind, you should just change employers. People like Tim, and
Robots like HeyBub (who is too ashamed of his positions to post with
his real name) think people are just resources that get slotted in
wherever they are needed; whereas most people actually get jobs that
they _like_, and resent being reslotted for whatever reason or being
treated as interchangable parts in some vast machine.

It's the old Repubs favor the freedom of business to do whatever they
want, and Dems favor the freedom of individuals to do whatever they
want.

Some observations:

1. I don't post with my real name because I change it often. The email
address is, however, real. If you send a polite request, I'll be pleased to
provide the name I'm using this week.

2. "Old Repubs" favor business being able to contract with a willing seller
of labor and conditions of work for an agreed on wage.

3. I agree that Dems favor freedom of individuals to do CERTAIN things
(smoke dope, marry the same sex, burn the flag, etc.) but they are, by no
means, libertarians. For example, most liberals favor a woman using a name
other than her real one (which is okay by me inasmuch as she's taking the
name of TWO men instead of the traditional one). Oops.

Yes you are. If you don't like the POS you're driving, you can buy another
car. The difference between a used Pinto and a new Lamborghini is one of
price, not the availability of the choice.

You can even self-insure!

Here's the difference: If you don't like the way your insurance company
treats you - and your observation tends to imply that direction - you're
free to change insurance companies!


No, you're not.

First, many employers only offer one choice.

Second, non-employer sponsored plans will cost the employee much, much
more than the employer sponsored plan; and the employee may not be able
to afford it (note that the current figure for the average family employer
plan is $13k per year between the employer and employee for premiums).

If the company is providing the insurance then it belongs to the company
and covers you. The same as any company policy, you live with it or
look elsewhere. If you don't like the way the company is being run
then, for many reasons, it is best if you look elsewhere. Because if
you are right and it it is being badly run, then you may be out of work
if you stay. I read some where that a recent graduate will have 6 jobs
in the next 20 years.

You certainly have an active imagination. I'm not going to allow you to drag
me into this argument, though.

Maybe, but it makes life interesting. However, if you want to go on record
as being a supporter of Daneliuk, don't let me stand in your way.
Personally, I don't like trying to make my way through the traffic on an
eight lane highway.

You would be better to killfile the posters, not the posts.



A good start would be to filter everyone who posts in alt.home.repair.
