Explaining the fence sitter, COG.

Still mad about me proving you are a plagiarizer and a liar, eh, WPF? Is that why you continue to make up lies about me? Go on, I know it fulfills some sick need inside you. Everyone else on here knows you're a fake.

I feel sorry for you, man. It must suck being you.

You do realize that I lifed this quote from another source, in doing so I did not link the source. Why someone might ask? The same reason I did not link the Adam Smith quote that you say I plagiarized. I attributed the Adam Smith quote to drum roll please Adam Smith, just like I attributed this one to PK Dick.

Now run along and hide, we adults may just go have a beer and you are to scared of me to join in!

Like I said, it must suck being you, WPF. Good night, now.

I can see you still do not understand the Philip K. Dick quote. So from my POV, it would suck to be you but the difference between you and I is....that I realize that from your POV, it does not suck to be you.

Childish, classic blather from the Unaliar. Defiant in the face of his own defeat.

gotta love him ... Or not!

Actually it explains all of us...some, such as COG just can not put themselves in others shoes. joe blow thinks all others are commirs for not thinking like him, Whirly and JD think the sky is falling. We all live in our own reality. The sooner some of you grasp this concept, the sooner you will be able to have an adult conversation. Originally Posted by WTF

WPF thinks he knows a lot, but he knows nothing. Where does he come up with the idea that I can't put myself in other's shoes? Or that I'm a fence-sitter because I refuse to choose between despotism and tyranny? Then he copies a quote, which he can't understand, because he misapplies it, and tries to come off as some "wiser than thou" sage, when in reality he is bitter and angry about being caught as a plagiarizer and liar.

Sorry, dude. We know what you are, WPF. You just making yourself look stupider with each post. But go ahead and make up some more lies about me. You're fun to watch.

You make general statements as if it is law. ''WTF think he knows...'' ''But WTF knows nothing...."

If you could put yourself in my shoes, you would not make statements like that to me or about me.

Oh is that kinda like choosing between State government to rule your life instead of the Feds? Something you always preach for! See COG, you choose. You just won't admit it. Your reality refuses to let you admit what your actions prove.

Are you that egotistical?
Word of advice...plead the 5th on that last one.

Yes, you are right, WPF. You interpreted the "jest" of the quote.

Now go back to your playground "poop" and "homo" epithets. You sound smarter.

OH! You said "fence sitter." I saw the post and then the quote from Dick and I thought you called him a "face sitter." NEVER MIND!!!

But yeah, he is both...

The manipulation of power for what we deem good.

That was an 'off the top of my head' thought on a movie I had seen years ago. Books usually have many more layers COG. My comment was directed towards those two thoughts. Carry on cutiepie. You own your words, not me.

You still don't realize that the word "jest" means joking. You were trying to say "gist".

You are as stupid as I think you are.

To you I am stupid. I get that. You do realize that stupid is very subjective and should be used in a very selective way. For example, "You are stupid in such and such matters..."

Had you said that I was stupid in the words gist and jest, I would have had to agree with you. I would have told you that I know the difference in both but did confuse them in my post and therefore could be considered stupid in that regard.

But wasn't that the gist of this thread?

COG, you can continue to try and not see others POV and call people stupid and be part of the problem or you could try and make the forum a more productive area of political discussion.

Give it up, WPF. You are sounding stupider every time. You have no credibility. Look at your own posts before you criticize mine. Yes, you are the "model" of "productive political discussion".
