Leahy, thinking to himself:

“Hmmmm. The letters on Arlen’s nameplate are bigger than mine. That doesn’t quite seem fair.”

The idiot puts in one hour of work a week and makes $300 and he thinks he gets paid $300 per hour.

That’s very true, katy, thank you.
Sometimes the person who has the last word,
also has the burden of wondering why no one responded to them….;)

it’s the damn bickering…

i grew up with 7siblings… i got quite enough of the bickering…

i’m all for facts, refuting with facts, the occasional *snap!*…
but the damn, infantile bickering…
ugh…

it’s ok to not have the last word.
.

He’s a lawyer.

Translation:

“It makes a significant difference when you have as victims rich white conservative Republicans or poor black liberal Democrats.”

Aw shucks, Wayne… :-)

Yes, but what about our children, grandchildren and their children? Just what kind of a world do we want to leave them?

“We were instructed to create societies based on the principles of Peace, Equity, Justice, and the Power of Good Minds. Our societies are based upon great democratic principles of the authority of the people and equal responsibilities for the men and the women. This was a great way of life across this Great Turtle Island and freedom with respect was everywhere. Our leaders were instructed to be men of vision and to make every decision on behalf of the seventh generation to come; to have compassion and love for those generations yet unborn. We were instructed to give thanks for All That Sustains Us. Thus, we created great ceremonies of Thanksgiving for the life-giving forces of the Natural World, as long as we carried out our ceremonies, life would continue. We were told that ‘The Seed is the Law.’”

Call it an irrational comment and stop. It works really well. If you try to refute a meaningless statement or an irrational one w/ facts, you’ve allowed the troll to get into the conversation and they can start arguing.

THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED in facts. If they jimmie up a quote, or use false stats, prove them prove. But for hyperbole or meaningless, undefinable terms? You can’t refute irrational comments w/ facts. You simply point out the comment is meaningless and stop.

(And of course Zooey had a great idea with her post. She often does. :) And yes, I admit I have a certain bias toward the website to which she linked.)

you should read my comment again…
…

great idea, zooey!

Wow, 300 hundy an hour? That’s a lot of money.

Now, when it gets cold outside, is the dunking booth heated? And is it one of those booths where people get prizes when they hit the target with the softballs? Do those prizes come out of your pay?

Click on my name. :-)

Furthermore, TCDon has a much better command of the English language than Mr. P ever did.
