I guess I should start by saying that Punkworld just reported that society is screaming for his musings. Do you think that that's merely sloppy reporting on Punkworld's part? I don't. I think that it's a deliberate attempt to gum up what were once great ideas.

Shame on him for thinking that people like you and me are unsophisticated! He wants us to feel sorry for the rash, quixotic nymphomaniacs who intensify race hatred. I myself insist we should instead feel sorry for their victims, all of whom know full well that Punkworld's myrmidons have learned their scripts well, and the rhetoric comes gushing forth with little provocation. I've said this before, and I'll say it again, but Punkworld has, at times, called me "peremptory" or "self-satisfied". Such contemptuous name-calling has passed far beyond the stage of being infantile but harmless. It has the capacity to tap into the national resurgence of overt absenteeism. Although he won't admit it, I frequently talk about how two wrongs don't make a right. I would drop the subject, except that I don't see how he can be so unsympathetic -- and Punkworld knows it.
First of all, I have called you "peremptory"??? I don't even know what it means! (just looked it up, and now I do... and indeed you seem overly self-assured, not allowing any reasonable debate)

Secondly, you keep on trying - admittedly, very eloquently - to avoid even the slightest bit of argumentation. If you were to refrain from empty rhetoric and would present compelling argumentation, you might be able to change my mind on the subject. I can be persuaded by good arguments, however, you fail to present any.

Third, "I am not afraid to call someone wrong when he does something, says something, stands for something, or engages in something that violates the values in which are considered most common in the free world. "
Which "common values of the free world" exactly do I violate?
I believe in freedom, equal human rights, people over economics and conserving the environment so my children can have a long and healthy life. Now, if the "common values of the free world" do not include these things, I for one think they should be changed.

Fourth, I never said I think most people here are unsophisticated. I consider people like bhutocracy very sophisticated, even if I sometimes may not agree with them. However, I do consider people yelling "nuke all the arab pieces of shit" unsophisticated, I must admit that.

Now, in your next post, please provide some argumentation instead of empty rhetoric and accusations. Those get boring after a while.
