What I said before is perfectly coherent with what I said more recently . I have simply gone into more detail . And I include myself in the pack . I am white , my converation is superficial , I no doubt think I am more educated than I am . I can be humorous and talented within those limited parameters .
What's wrong with that ? |

Look...as a fellow human, I have to advise you of this much. You're coming off rather superior in your posts throughout the board. Most people here are going to find that to be darkly humorous at best, and offensive at worst.
You'll make no converts here, nor will you find opponents whom you will deem worthy of your apparently dizzying intellect. Now, if simple, heartfelt online buddies is what you want, you're in the right place. If you want snobbery and intellectual elitism, Oxford probably has a nice chat group or something, really.

I have been surprised at how few stand-up for personal property rights and personal accountability.

I value UT and Brianna's way of communicating.

That might do in real life. In real life we don't have many open mouths spouting their views almost simultaneously. This is like someones house. There is a certain standard the person that owns the house wants to keep. Do you want those people comming into your real life house and graffiti swasticas on your walls? I am in a hurry so that wasn't probably a good example ![]() |

![]() Why we tolerate diverse views - maybe not extreme views, but diverse. As a culture we act, or come to act as a guest in UT's web site. Why did the rowdy AGers upset the oldtimers - If someone crashes your dinner party and starts walking on the tables and insulting guest, you'd be upset too. I think someone actually made a comment along this line at the time. Why is UT tired - He doesn't just host the cellar, he is the host (of the virtual dinner party). That's tiring. So now I wonder if UT planned this or if it happened organically? I suspect someone could make a doctoral dissertation out of analysing this and how the environment was created.

![]() We could almost, in fact, change the cellar's tag-line to: "The Cellar. 99% Asshole Free." (Unless you're talking about funny assholes, of course; that's different. People pay to listen to funny assholes.) I come here to deal with intelligent, reasonable, funny people, most of whom seem to have a good deal of common sense- and whose opinions differ from mine, often, but not to the point where I reject them out of hand (e.g., declarations of racial superiority of any sort... except the Jews. Israel rules.) Unless you're highly charismatic and articulate, you've got to have a little in common with someone, be able to build up the trust, before you start the brainwashing. ![]() Which reminds me, the membership drive for the Freemormons has started. Check your free will at the door, please.

Either that or just plain love and tolerance of, well, speech in general. I mean really, would any of us really be here if we didnt all love talking?

For a second there, I felt important. In a naughty sort of way.

It is clear to me that everyone on this board shares a strong desire to be heard.
A large majority also wishes to be understood. Some of those choose listening to others in their search to find willing ears, thereby reinforcing the hopes of the first group, and the cycle repeats.
