You don't know shit about me. And anyone who says that people who live in cities is incredibly sheltered is de facto fucking stupid. Do I interact with farmers on a daily basis? No. Do I interact with wealthy Republicans who are partners and clients daily? Yes. Do I interact with the poor daily. Yes. People in my family (both white and black, both suburban and urban) are in very shitty situations. But it's ridiculous for me to be justifying anything I say to you. You are a fool who thinks he's a genius. And if you think me calling you out on your constant bullshit means I think I'm the voice of God, you should know that I don't give a fuck.

You do write in dickish manner. I won't argue that I don't. But you write in a dickish manner about shit you completely pull out of your asshole and pretend it's something you've confirmed at your latest made-up cocktail party filled with people who you can quote to support whatever bullshit you're spouting at the moment.

You have an extraordinarily high opinion of yourself. You are entertaining in that we are laughing at you. So, I guess you're right. And you're not open minded. You've convinced yourself you are. But the only thing you ever say is, "I'm non-tribal and contrarian." But you're as much a slave to your ideology (and yes, you have an ideology) as anyone I have ever met.

Picture me weeping quietly in the corner over your cruel words.

Nope. Just you. Has anyone told you that you're a fucking fool? Or do they just do it behind your back?

I understand how you made this mistake, but it does seem to perfectly capture how you are completely incapable of seeing facts that might undermine your scathing rebuttals of the ignorant, sheltered generalizations that nobody here is actually making.

Aside from a few serious right wingers (namely this dude), more so.

Dude. You’re a bore. Your fellow travelers kiss your ass here because disagreeing with you causes you to bully them.

Your politics are 8th grade, your mind is perhaps the most shut I’ve ever seen, and you’re the most shining example of “know it all lawyer” anyone has ever seen.

Maybe I’m a fool. You? You’re a tool.

I'd love for you to point out who here kisses my ass. I'd also like to know who exactly I bully. We argue about shit all the time.

Good grief. You're starting to sound more pathetic than you usually do.

An insecure tool.

Nobody can challenge anything you believe.

71% is nearly an F.

... then seeing as how more than seven in ten Jews vote for Democrats, Jews vote D.

You have known TM for how many years here? He has no problem being challenged. When someone does it, he expects them to back it up. You don't.

This falls somewhere in the top 20% of the dumbest shit you've said (which is still pretty impressive).

Clever trick, by the way. If I disagree with people on a board set up to debate topics, then nobody can challenge anything I believe. Ridiculous.

But here's some advice for you: If you don't like being called on your bullshit, stop pulling shit out of your ass.
