Hilarious. Exactly why I came up with the name frownstoners. You guys take this site way too seriously.
I agree with Rob.
It’s funny, I have a lot of opinions that differ from Rob’s but I’ve never attacked him. I take what he says with a grain of salt.
Rob’s funny and very interesting/intellectual (philosophical might be a better word) because he makes these broad, general statements. It’s sort of a Mark Twain everyman kind of wisdom that many today don’t understand. He gets angry, much like I do when someone responds to a kind of broad, philosophical statement that was basically half sarcastic and meant to be funny with a personal insult on his intelligence, worthiness to breath oxygen, station in life, etc. The same thing happens to me all the time here. I’m sure Rob and myself aren’t the only people who notice this.

Pinch me, I must be dreaming.
“Rob…stop saying things that are patently absurd.”
Talk about inherent conflict.
Rob is following the fine example of John Roberts, who decried the politicization and lack of decorum of the State of the Union speech, where Barack Obama criticized the Supreme Court. To do so, he chose a public venue to criticize Congress and the President of the United States, proving you can be highly intelligent and blind to your own transgressions.
In other words, Rob is only human.
“it’s absolutely rude to constantly belittle other peoples comments and opinions and life experience on issues just because you think you know better.”- rob
Am I the only one who sees the irony there?
Please. Give me a break.
Indeed, pete- especially when it exposes the basic intellectual dishonesty of your argument. 🙂
You’d be pissed to, ENY, if someone told you had inherent conflict in your argument. 🙂
