your phonetic (from the Greek :phonetikos, or Latin:phoneticus-a,um) spelling is wholly arbitrary and is Anglophonically skewed(besides being inconsistant).

Give it up , it only makes your posts seem irrelevant and somewhat cartoonish when sometimes you actually make some good points.

agreed, other than the use of 'somewhat'

Yes, because nothing says masculinity than getting just the right shade of pink.

Yes, because nothing says masculinity more than getting just the right shade of pink.

I know, you all got it anyway, but I am nuts about mistakes and had to fix it. Thank you, and a good day to all.

I usually do.

If I were 100% fonetic, it 'd freak too many people out.
I don 't wanna over-do it.
I also tone it down, when arguing points of complexity or great controversy.

Yes: a long A and a short I.

@OmSigDAVID,

I thought it was kinda funny. You brought up the obsession with genitalia and Fa merely stated that , because the folks under consideration had heads shaped like the glans penis it was difficult NOT to be so obsessed.

Humor requires a short snappy response to a proposition. Next time dont set him up with such a strait line.
Youve become an unsuspecting Bud Abbot.

I used somewhat because cartoonishness takes real talent. I think Dave just stumbled on the funny spelling by employing random "phonetics"

If so, I don 't get the joke.
I don't see the point of it.

I see 2 flaws in your reasoning:
1. the joke falsely assumes that there is a difference
in appearance between rightists and leftists
(i.e., that u can tell their philosophy by seeing the shapes of their heads)

and

2. that people (other than homosexuals) CARE about
male sexual organs enuf to become obsessed about them.
Among non-homosexuals, no one woud be interested
in our penises.

Not necessarily; e.g., Jack Benny ofen had pauses in between.

From your way of making a living, as a scientist, I know that u MUST
understand logic and u DO understand it.
Your assertion about a straight line is factually inaccurate;
it has no basis in logical fact; i.e., such a joke does not work.

The logic has to WORK for a joke to be funny.

No sale.

(If my reasoning is in error, then I rely upon u to correct me.)

That comment is just mean given David's well know aversion to excrement..We all need to remind ourselves of this event the next time that you get on your moral high horse, which tends to be every 45 minutes like clock work...

What a dufus. You don't have a clue what you are talking about. Oh, and given the fact that you well know that many posters have an aversion to those who rape (you have admitted such) you still post on the topic and even recommend it. Go back under your rock.

Bullshit (also bullcrap, bullplop, bullbutter, bovine stool) is a common American English expletive which may be shortened to the euphemism bull or the initialism B.S. In British English, "bollocks" is a comparable expletive, although bullshit is now commonly used in British English as well. As with many expletives, it can be used as an interjection or as many other parts of speech, and can carry a wide variety of meanings. Most commonly, it is a noun or interjection that refers to any use of misleading, disingenuous, or false language

says the dufus who is trying to equate an insult made by him intented to offend another a2k member with the discussion of a well known human dynamic and public policy towards it.

You are good at rationalizing your own bad behaviour, and as always your blind spots are larger than most peoples, but that never stops you from thinking that you are better than us now does it.....

Richy, if u have a point of disagreement, then Y not tell me WHAT IT IS,

According to U,
WHAT did I say that was incorrect ??

The entire premise went over your head DAve. Im sorry. I sure as hell cant explain it as a discussion in logic because , as you know, logic often has no bearing in humor. We, in fact, dispense with logic
eg

How do you get an elephant into a refrigerator?

A: You open the dorr and then insert the elephant and then close the door.

How do you get a giraffe into a refrigerator

A: You open the door and remove the elepehant . Then you insert the giraffe and then close the door.

The King of the jungle threw a [party for the animals who made it?

A: everybody except the giraffe cause he was in the refrigerator.

Eg 2. (Steve WRight)

If your travelling at the speed of light and you turn on your headlights, does anything happen?

Dispensation of reason, logic etc is often a big part of enjoying humor. If you dont "get it" perhaps you should work on your appreciation of the absurd.

No it didnt. I say, a pox on both your houses because you both need each others extreme philosophoies to survive and justify your own worldviews. AS Eisenhower once quipped

"The left wing will defame the right and the right wing will demonize the left, Meanwhile, the bird in the middle will be dying"
