Hmmm, that's a politically correct response.

Based on his own affirmation about being "not PC" can we safely assume that BF would not like your answer?

I was just trying to be the comical relief (? correct definition). Most people here know who you were referring to, I guess.

I guess the democrat version would be 2 gay donkeys mounting each other?

Is there a point to this thread besides trying to goat yet another useless argument?


Think carefully about your answer.

You can always read what you want to read. But I think that we both read the same...

This , but I have a feeling that you fish for something more specific.

Actually, the first thing that popped into my head was an anti republican sticker or something, it being election year and all.

Stop berating BF, or I'll jump in whenever some sort of subject matter comes in.... I'm long-winded... :twisted:

This is childish, btw. I'm all for thoughtless debate, but even I have a limit.

I know, in another thread you said you were stopping and then you continued for another week and a half. :wink:

I think the picture arrived after the popularity of "The Monkey Song".

Bah, I've stayed out mostly since then.

The Christmas comment was religious, not political, eh eh.

Americans are often anti-intellectual because they're well aware of the propaganda and outright lies that are taught in universities today. They overreact though... and seem to have come to distrust education and learning altogether.

Argh, another breach of my vow :twisted:

Though yea, I don't like sitting idly by while y'all bully BF... The man just isn't any loonier than most of the rest of you (or "us" rather), haha, I mean that as a compliment BF. It's rare that I say anything fully complimentary... cynics never do.

To take pleasure at another's expense is a lowly trait, reminiscent of McCain's bullying tactic he used at the recent NH debate, mostly against the slightly less insane Romney.

Or, for those who weren't forced, as I was, to watch that awful thing, think of Ann Coulter's bullying.

Back to anti-intellectual: in physics, a professor who denies the theory of gravity will be challenged, and likely fired if not tenured. In English, a professor with a similarly insane view is said to have an ideology, and promoted to the head of the department. Several different "ideologies" are recruited so as to ensure a wide selection of insanity.

I'm about to start my 11th and final semester at Colorado State. I guess you could say I didn't take the most direct path to a degree. I suppose you could put me in as an "anti-intellectual", if being an intellectual means being a raving, crazy liberal, like I've seen so many of the students and faculty at school as. Also, I could be "anti-intellectual" if I disagree with the way the history and political science classes are taught at my school. It almost seemed more like liberal indoctrination than education at some points. How many professors say and do crazy things to advance their agendas? School isn't just about knowledge in it's purest form, especially when you start straying from the sciences (and even some science has gotten very political as well).

Only if he failed to provide hard evidence that our current theories of gravity are flawed, otherwise he'd be hailed in the same breath as Newton and Einstein.

I do agree with you about the bullying thing though, but having said that I seriously doubt Bluefront has been in the slightest bit traumatised by anything said here. You might as well try and bully a rhinoceros... :lol:

Interesting, a beast who's own horn determines what he can and can't see.

The irony is killing me. :lol:
