No. The comment only looks angry with your red letters embellishing it.
I illustrated the apparent anger of your post
by embellishing it with red letters.

I just can not believe that some of the questions you ask are for real.
A few of them r offered in gest.

I also wonder why you don't google a topic that is unfamiliar to you rather than ask a question.
Will Google tell me what a particular A2K poster has in mind
in some particular remark ?






plainoldme wrote:
Some of those questions are so obvious that just asking them annoys others.
U r free to ignore annoying questions.
U r not on the witness stand, under oath in court,
in danger of heavy fines nor jail for perjury nor for contempt.







plainoldme wrote:
In a face to face social situation, such questions would probably cause people to 1.) begin patronizing you, or,
2.) walk away. I generally chose the latter because I find the former even more annoying than the original naive question.
DO it.





plainoldme wrote:
And, I do not think that you love freedom. In fact, I know that I do.
U think that I prefer confinement to freedom !?

U illustrate the differences between the Individualist and the collectivist mentalities; like oil n water.

@OmSigDAVID,
Responding to your comments in the order they appeared:

1.) The so-called anger is a product of your imagination and projection.
2.) If you intended to be humorous, then you failed. Ignorance as a pose is not funny.
3.) THe idea is not to discern intention using google, but to define/identify specific words or phrases, such as Amarcord.
4.) Sometimes, it is necessary to tell people they are annoying in order to make the source of the annoyance change his habits.

Finally, david, you make much of the what you feel are your imperfect looks vis a vis success with women. Have you ever considered that your politics are an enormous turn off?

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.

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.

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.

"This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."

Maybe, only a kind person would tell you to stop embarrassing yourself while an unkind person might leave you to muddle through on your own.

Considering that Fellini has been pushing up daisies since 1993, he is hardly up-to-date.

Amarcord was released in 1974. I showed that film to the two major men in my life because they hadn't seen it and I considered it a major work of 20th C cinema.

For that, u have our earnest gratitude. I find u devoid of merit.
A woman told Winston Churchill that if she were his wife, she 'd put poison in his tea.
He said that if she were his wife, he 'd DRINK IT.

R u alleging that the female gender is LEFTIST ??
In our right wing campaigns, including the Goldwater campaign of 1964, we had no shortage of chicks.
We have chicks in the NRA and in the 2nd Amendment Foundation,
in addition to the Libertarian Party and the GOP.

That is not my point; I 've made no allegations qua Fellini. If u re-read the posts, u shoud see that.

One of my tenants, who is an English Professor (and a leftist, like u)
agrees with your suggestion that I see it. He recommended La Dolce Vita. Maybe I can rent it.

On another thread, ehBeth wrote how the person she lives with who also posts here (and we all know who that is), laughs a great deal while posting. While I can not believe that you are totally ignorant of some of the words you ask this audience of posters to define, I largely feel embarrassed for you. I also think you are posing.

I will say that you have made more of this than it merits.

I fear not to reveal my ignorance of individual words nor of concepts.
There r literally billions of trillions of things whereof I am ignorant; thay shame me not.
Occasionally, I wonder about a word used in an odd context and I inquire about it.
I NEVER try to pretend that I am a know-it-all, not even in my own former profession.

When I have not known something, I have always been very open about saying so.
I don't FAKE it, in hope of making a good impression. That woud be contemptible.
It is very common to me, face-to-face, to say "I don 't know that word" when such is the case.

I 've done that all my life,
even to the point of interrupting someone in mid-sentence
to get a definition. That preserves my control of the situation,
during conversation and especially during negotiation.
I dare not let him use language whereof I know not what he speaks
and commit myself thereto; that will not happen.

During my very early education, I remember a school teacher saying
that "the only stupid question is one that u don 't ask
because it sounds stupid." I accept that. He was a good teacher.

What has grooming to do with wealth?
Ever noticed the difference in grooming of a homeless person and a millionaire ? Where does grooming end and display of wealth begin ?

@Ionus,
What a ridiculous statement. What woman would seriously consider a relationship with a homeless man, unless she was another homeless person. That sort of moronic statement is meant to bait, not to be real.

Most heterosexual men are slobs.

When women talk among themselves about men, this is a common refrain: the ideal man has the outgoing, gentlemanly personality of a black man and the grooming of a gay man.

My best friend is homeless. Seriously. And he's a guy. We have so much fun together. He has this amazing talent for doing voices and accents and is a great writer, so we're talking about putting together this skit sort of comedy - he even has a name for it 'Three something something' I can't remember it.

The characters are: Augustus Hare who is an elderly English gentleman who's been put in a old folks home whose greatest pleasure is his weekly encounter with 'Buckwheeta' - we came up with that name when we were talking about how people just make up names now by taking sounds and adding consonants at the beginning. She's his favorite carer because she has great dexterity with the rubber enema hose.
Then there's Paul Bedi, a very aware (of his bodily functions) Indian man, and Tony - a gruff-spoken Wiltshire farmer, and Jamie, a heroin addicted Scottish Bob Dylan type. He can even play the guitar and sing like Bob Dylan on heroin (my friend).
He's the funnest person I've ever hung out with. I met him while he was busking- he was doing the Bob Dylan act on the street in Oxford.
I haven't been physically attracted to him because he does smell sometimes because he can't wash his clothes. But now he lives in a shelter with a washing machine, so who know what the future holds? (Little joke).

All of this is to say that I personally am not attracted to an overly groomed man. I'd go for an ungroomed homeless guy before I'd go for a fop or dandy. I do however like the gregarious and gentlemanly personality that certain black men - and men in general- do sometimes display.

Plain, do u allege that the female gender is all LEFTIST ?

Do u allege that of the 27,000,000 voters who cast their ballots
for Barry Goldwater in 1964, none of them were female ?????????
