OK, I 'll take it that u
ALWAYS write that way
("stop embarrassing yourself") even when u r
happy and being
polite.
That 's the best we can expect from u.
plainoldme wrote:2.) If you intended to be humorous, then you failed. Ignorance as a pose is not funny.
U keep
hammering away at that.
I have already stated that I just asked a simple innocent, question, to wit:
" What 's it about ? "
I have
NO IDEA of the reason that u have chosen to attribute
humor to that; nor its absence.
Then u complain to me about not being funny. I 'm not Milton Berle. I 'm not Johnny Carson.
I did not sell u a ticket to a lot of chuckles.
Plain, I like movies; I enjoy them. I have for a long time,
but I have
never represented myself to be a hot-shot expert about the cinema.
I have
no DUTY to attend every movie, nor to be up-to-date
on all the movies that u admire.
plainoldme wrote:3.) THe idea is not to discern intention using google,
but to define/identify specific words or phrases, such as Amarcord.
So,
according to U, I am
limited to consulting Google and I am
not allowed
to inquire of Spendius qua his description, his
FEELINGS, and/or his
commentary of his favorite movie ??
(Presumably, there is
a REASON that he deems this to be his all time favorite movie.)
Is this
Prohibition against my inquiry to be found in the A2K Terms of Service? or in the UN Charter? or in some municipal code ?
or in your fantasy ?

Yes; eventually, u got to something on which we can agree.

Well,
even before I got scorched by the heat n sun
of Arizona at age 8, I did not like my facial structure.
Mirrors have not been my friends.
My nabors in Arizona
knew that I was from from NY,
but sometimes, when thay got mad at me for some reason,
if thay really got into a fury against me for some social reason,
thay accused me of being "a Mexican or an Indian."

No. I enjoy debating philosophy. My ideology is Original American, endemic to America.
On Saturday, I went to see
Inception and to dinner with a lady named Vivian.
She leans mildly to the left and votes that way.
Over dinner, we discussed our near-term plans, including
my attendance of a symposium in San Francisco next month
to study the foreseeable effects of the USSC's
HELLER and
McDONALD cases, in
incrementally tearing down gun control in America and restoring the
laissez faire `
status quo ante.
Vivian argued a pro-control position, while I argued in support of freedom.
It was very warm n pleasant; no problems.
For some years, I have known a woman named Eve, whose ideology is
very left,
but I like her a lot, as a person. She is magnetic; good looking too.
I enjoyed her company at Mensa meetings and over dinner.
She moved to Upstate NY, but I 'm very attracted to her,
despite philosophical differences. When she sees me, she grabs me n kisses me.
Of course, she knows that I am a libertarian-conservative Individualist.
Anyone who knows me knows
that.
I enjoyed the company of my uncle. He was German; naturalized American.
We ofen exchanged dinner visits reciprocally to one another 's houses.
My family is mostly of English derivation.
During the beginning of WWII, he
taunted us,
qua radio news. He used to say: "thay r really
GIVING IT to them!"
referring to the German boming of England.
He was more taciturn toward the end of hostilities.
He called himself a "socialist" and I debated him
on behalf of
Individualism and
libertarianism.
ANYWAY, we enjoyed one another 's company.
William F. Buckley, Jr. was a warm friend of Allard Lowenstein.
2 of my best friends in Mensa r retired NYC school teachers
who were leftist radicals in the 1930s.
Regardless of anything: I gotta be
ME.
If u were right in what u posted,
I still gotta be
ME; that 's the important thing.
