Bernard, do you remember school where the kid can't be first batter, so he throws his bat and glove down and starts calling everybody names? Dyslexia, face it, not everyone agrees with you. Instead of calling names, why not present your bottomless reservoir of wisdom? Dyslexia, pick up your glove, go out and make a few plays. Its called presenting evidence and facts to back up your opinions. If your opinions amount to a hill of beans, you should be able to come up with alot.
Yes of course Mr Okie you are absolutely right. I should "play ball" with your ilk and, of course, Possum but I just don't have the equivalent education for i did graduate the 8th grade and feel that I would have to talk down to both of you in order to reach your level of understanding which would, or course, be embarrassing for both of you. So sorry.
You poor soul, Dyslexia--I have spent more time in Post Graduate Education than you have spent in Elementary School.
If you really had any ability, you would show it by posting some facts, evidence or documentation. You never do so the conclusion is clear. You are unable to do so!!!

The really sad thing is, Possum, I have no soul, poor or otherwise and yes, I'm quite sure you have spent more time in Post Graduate Education that I have spent in Elementry school; should you ever graduate please inform everyone posting here because we certainly are interested in your academic career even more than I am interested in "popping ants" with my magnifying glass on the patio.
Bernie just admitted he's a perpetual graduate student - after he finished high school. No wonder his brain is "fried." He lacks the knowledge of "reality."

and, you Mr. Imposter. What graduate degrees do you have? Berkeley?

Along with my diploma of completion of the 8th grade I got a certificate of achievement in both neurosurgery and aerospace engineering, Do you have those as well Mr Possum? If not I'm afraid you are inadequately educated for maintaining any level of discourse with The Dys.
Didn't need no graduate degree: worked in management most of my working professional life after 3.5 years on the "road" after my bachelors.
I am impressed and awed. Dyslexia, IF you are telling the truth. But I think you are lying.
Why? Because you don't write or reason like a person with those two degrees. I am reminded of an acquaintance who claimed that he had played Semi-Pro Football in Canada. He was a blowhard and my friend, who had played High School Football challenged him to try to stop him in a part when my friend ran at him repeatedly. The blowhard was steamrollered.
Again, I think you are lying. If you are not lying give us a hint of the expertise you must have BUT HAVE NEVER SHOWED by giving us some answers to questions some of us may put to you instantaneously so that you have no time to look the answers up.
Question #1--Explain, in three or four lines, the concept of Cross-Modal Sensory Integration( any answer which takes more than ten minutes will not be accepted since you could look it up.
You have been challenged, Dyslexia!!!

Possum, you are a silly goose, you couldn't challenge me with a feather up your ass and you know it. For me to give you a serious answer you would have to post a serious question and you well know there is no such thing as Cross-Modal Sensory Integration. In addition, you are calling me a liar which, at best, is rude. You are a very rude person but as delightful as an exhibit at P. T Barnums freak show.
Now I know you have misrepresented your self!!!!!!!!!

Re: Obama '08?
sozobe wrote:Didn't want to derail nimh's thread about Republicans. This can become the equivalent about Democrats, but my initial question is: Would Obama work, after all?
I have personally loved him but have been hesitant to back the idea of a presidential bid in 2008 for three main reasons, and also the ways they interact:
- Race
- Admitted drug use
- Inexperience
Mr. Obama has a much bigger problem than the three you mention, i.e. Hillary KKKlintler. Of the plausible dem candidates, Hillary is the only one with the organization and infrastructure to simply kill people who get in her way, and that makes up for deficiencies in almost all other areas.
Obama is basically an amateur.
Gungasnake- You may be aware that Senator Obama has some other problems which may, eventually, reveal themselvers as even more problematic. When he was a child, he attended a Muslim School for several years. Who knows what influences he may have picked up there which he harbors in his heart of hearts. His father was a Muslim!!!
Source? Why, his own autobiography!!!

Seems like enough insulting is going all directions. As for education, I couldn't care less. I've known people without a high school education smarter than PhD's (piled higher and deeper). Some of the smartest people I've known are Oklahoma wheat farmers. My only point, dyslexia, is that honest courteous debate is always more convincing than gutter laced insults.

Bernard, what is this fascination with Obama? Is this the man that is supposed to lead the Democratic Party out of the wilderness of no direction, no platform, no nothing? I don't see it. And I don't think the current powers that be that run or rule the party will stand for it. Sure, they might allow him to be VP, but president, forget it. At least, I don't see the Clintons and their friends ever standing for it.
Okie- You must understand that the fascination with Senator Obama stems largely from the assuagement of "White Guilt". You see, legions of students in school have learned that yes, they and their fathers and grandfathers and greatgrandfathers and great great grandfathers are GUILTY because they supported the monstrous beast called Slavery.
The poor children never learned that in reality, the slaves in the South had better living conditions on the whole than most of the Peasants in Europe. This is attested to by Eugene Genovese in his classic work- "Roll, Jordan, Roll. But the poor children in the class often did not question the teacher. Some might have said--But, my grandfather came here from Greece in 1920. He had nothing to do with the problem.
No matter--As Jesse Jetstream Jackson has said--"If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem"--subtext-_Why don't we get more and more welfare. We can't make it because society is so racist. IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT, WHITE AMERICA!!
And some listen, Okie. The professional left wing liberals are too smart to be gulled by those simplistic messages about Guilt but they are ready to press the message. Anything that will allow the government more power to further distribute money from those who earned it by hard work to those who think the world owes them a living.
Senator Obama is the savior, Okie. People will go to the polls. Intense long haired men and short haired ladies carrying books like "The Rich and the Superrich", wearing a button proclaiming "OSAMA" to let you know, By God, they aren't bigots like the rest of these rednecks.
White Guilt , Okie. The best thing I ever read on this subject was the comment by the wonderful conservative Professor in Harvard's Political Science Department, Harvey Mansfield, who said:
White Students must admit their guilt so that minority students do not have to admit thier incapacity."
But the Northeast elite, as characterized by the Kerrys and Deans of the world, are not anxious to turn over any real power to Obama. They of course like to use him to further their agenda, but turn over the party, I don't think so. Remember the first black president was not to be an actual person of black heritage according to the Democrats, it had to be a white Democrat guy, and that was Bill Clinton.
You have a good point, Okie. They are not as beneficent as they would like to have us think. They may use Senator Obama as a tool--Vice President perhaps?? The problem with that tactic is that the Democrats have already garnered over 90% of Black votes in previous elections, so Senator Obama would not really help a great deal and it is certain that many, strangely enough including a great many Hispanics( who see Blacks as their rivals in the power centers of the large cities)who would not vote for a ticket including Senator Obama.
Count on it, Okie, the left wing liberals will always do what can best return them to the power they lost in 1994 when Bill Clinton kicked away the majorities in the House and Senate, never to regain them up to this day.
