Again, I say that if you want to know the opinion of some Marxist/socialist scholars, the only thing I can tell you to do is find them and ask them. Beyond that, I don't know what to tell you.
I have asked you a simple question, and you refuse to answer it....which is fine. We have had this lengthy and uninteresting discussion twice now and have made no headway either time. I have no idea why you decided to bring the topic up again in this thread, but it has ended with predictable results.
Neither one of us is going to convince the other so what is the point in going on?
I think you are wrong, and you think I am. Fine.

You are unable to simply admit you are wrong and take the defeat with grace. I think its funny. I give you a definition accepted in every dictionary on the web? You say the definition is wrong. You say "no scholar would call Bush a socialist". So then i provide links to scholars that do indeed call Bush Socialist. What do you do? You say they need to be socialist scholars and question Roubini as reliable. LOL

In the meantime, you have provided nothing except rambling minutiae. Do you have anything to back up your point? Any quote from ANY scholar socialist or not??????????????????????????????

If not, you lose.

Still can't find anything huh?
If you refuse to answer my questions....that is fine....I consider the matter closed.
As for me saying that no scholar would call Bush a socialist, I shouldn't have said that and have admitted so in this thread. That was a legitimate overstatement on my part.
As for Roubini, I called him a "generally resepected economist" which I don't see as calling him unreliable.
Again, my point is relatively simple. If George W. Bush was a socialist, don't you think there would be a lot of socialist scholars celebrating this great shift by the G.O.P. to socialism? You have yet to give a single example of such an instance or answer my repeated attempts to get you to explain how a man who disagrees with probably 99% of what a party stands for is actually the same ideologically as that Party.
If you choose to celebrate that as a victory in this discussion, I know of nothing else to do other than to offer you my heartfelt congratulations.

Now seriously, I'm done with this conversation. I'll let this thread get back to discussing your ridiculous hypothetical/blame question.

I have provided my links, where are yours??????? Seriously, you have to have something....anything. Guess not.

I must forward your book suggestions to hugo chavez and nouriel roubini. Neither of them know the correct definition of socialism used among chicago area night school scholars (sorry, i know that was cheap, but you threw the sarah palin at me so it was deserved)

Thank you for the congrats. My day is now complete...and so early in the morning.

Now look at this. I really got into that little head of yours. You even added the snarky little ending for good measure and you did it on EDIT.

people from all over the country lost friends and loved ones that day.

Uh..excuse me ...but are you insane?



Do you know who she is?

Ever see the movie Indiana Jones...the first one? Recall the girl who owned the desert bar and slammed down whiskey by the quart? The one who doubled as her own bouncer?

That character was based on Thebby.





Don't let those two giant mice of hers with the strange looking ears fool you. They are every bit as mean as she is.

I took this time to warn you.I hate this place.

So I hope you appreciate what I just did for you.



Don't ever question her again...or you will turn up "missing"....just like the rest.

Thanks,KGB, but no need.You are too kind.


Dala.....May I make a suggestion?


Send her a pm.Tell her how much you look up to her;how she does her job with amazing efficacy. Tell her you think her filthy animals are the cutest things you have ever seen.

Close by asking what exercises she does to keep her admirable breasts in such good shape and also ask for her hair stylist.

This may get you off the Hate List







( p.s......keep away from mentioning her comment about not knowing whether her latest horsey acquisition was pregnant or just fat.Don't ever bring that one up.)

[Mortimer]

Dala;

I rethought things. This may be a better pm idea:


Tell Thebby you apologize profusely for any distaste she may have experienced over your post. Let her clearly know that Andy Panda suggested you open this thread and that you should have never listened to him.

Mention how lucky she is to have such a handsome and wonderful fellow as Steve for her primary squeeze.

This time close by saying you know Carla has been talking in negative terms behind her back and you felt she should know this...and that you don't for one second believe she wears a penalty bra and that you also don't believe she plays out her strange sexual fantasies in her large fish aquarium downstairs.






Strike " downstairs"---just leave that part out.


(p.s....never talk about facial ornaments either)

[Mortimer]

Oh..one final thing,Dala.


Let her know you and CowGirlInTexas are good friends and that if Thebby is "interested" ( she will be---I promise you)...well just to let you know and you will be happy to make the "arrangements."


Don't forget to insert the at the end.








OK....all that should really help you.

Many of the hats and shirts that New Yorkers wore and still wear were from fund raisers for the families of police and fireman. It was the most tragic day in the history of the country, the hats and shirts were all about showing support, solidarity, strength and respect. It sounds crazy, but it seemed that everyone in NY bonded together as one big family, to support and grieve with each other during that very sad time. The whole city mourned together for weeks, I will never forget it.

I live in Florida and knew someone ... I guess it is easy to slap labels on people, but I was very distraught over 9/11 and it wasn't just because I knew someone. Anybody with a shred of empathy would have shed some tears that day.

P.S

I still have my FDNY hat.

Quite frankly I'm sick of your insulated elitist NYC attitude. Take wall street and shove it up your arse, Wu-Tang.

it isn't being elitist dude... i was heading under the building in a train... if i had been one train earlier, i'm probably dead... there really isn't a way to describe the shock and horror running through my body at that point. i was so freaked out as soon as i got out i started running, all the way to newark NJ and on to a train to philadelphia. i dont think i've ever ran more than a mile in my life besides that!

[Mortimer]

Oh so it was a good one..big deal.


Do you really think she was darted?
