I'm sorry I voted for Obama

Quote from 377OHMS:

I think you and Spiker are tied for the stupidest person in P&R except when tradingjournals is present.

I've got pets with a higher IQ than you. I would estimate your IQ to be sub-100 based on your lack of reading comprehension.

The next thing you're going to tell me is that Gabs is thoughtful and considerate, that RCG isn't a racist and that JakeJones is a sensitive man.

Un_fucking_real.

Boy you do have it bad. LOL. Tell yourself whatever you need to keep your self esteem high. And with you it seems trying to bring others down is what makes you feel like a man.

Its just that your claim to have a high IQ is so completely ludicrous that it is no surprise that you harbor other delusions.

What next? Are you an Olympic athlete as well?

Quote from RCG Trader:

Ignore, in and of itself is a sign of weakness, Tsing. Re-consider. Crush your adversary in public. Or reconcile with him. But saying, Im not talking to him because I do not like what he says is not masculine in any sense of the word.

1. He is not my "adversary". I am not the Green Lantern or something.
2. It's not that I "don't like what he says". I just don't think there is any value in anything he says, so I remove it from my sight. It's cleaner that way.
3. You cannot have reconciliation or even debate/discussion with someone who absolutely, positively refuses to see another point of view.

While no internet discussion/debate is ever perfect, this is what I TRY to follow when I discuss topics with people. If a person does nothing but troll (and does it always and consistently) I remove them from the pool of individuals I might debate with. The built in function for this is the ignore feature. I honestly don't care if you think that's a sign of weakness, masculinity or whether I have red hair and like tulips.

It means "black".

I know what it means, and I know how it's referenced. You couldn't be clearer.

Quote from RCG Trader:

He has been avoiding me, then he talks about IQ and all that. But rather than confront his racism about Arabs, he first puts me on ignore, then, when he takes me off, he makes a tepid peace offering, but then he attacks Progressives non-stop, knowing that I am one. I respect 377 because he is a serviceman. I have said things to try to goad him into a real debate about liberalism vs. conservatism, and some of those things have made me uncomfortable. I know he cannot, by definition, be a bitch, for example. Still he has silence.

He is a smart guy, he will not engage, and frankly, I am pissed about it.

Why do liberals run everything 377? Not one single fool on this board will answer that simple question.

Liberals run everything??

Quote from bigarrow:

Your not, but if it makes you feel better, then keep on thinking that. I used to be an IQ snob, but after getting knocked around in life a few times and some experience I realized the high IQ doesn't mean that much. I probably scored higher on the test than you did, but that wont even get me a cold beer let alone some pussy.

Referring to yourself as having high IQ and then using "your" when you should be using "you're" is rather...well, telling.

No but in my younger days I was damn good at ping pong not Chinese good but Fire department good.
Why don't you go now and continue with your name calling and insults. You have some emotional problems 377, but you know that already don't you.

Anyway, this was a good thread but these guys need to divert from the subject because they can't counter the premise.

If you have any knowledge of IQ you will know people have different areas where they do better than others. My weakness is language and most of the standard tests are slanted toward analytical IQ. There are also gifted musical people who would score low on the test but in their field they are gifted. See even you can learn something new.

Quote from Trader666:

Get the fuck out of here. You're yet another ET loser who can't admit when he's wrong. Your "position" has gone from this:

In terms of factual evidence, US Navy, far from a liberal institution, deemed John McCain NOT to be worthy of the lowest admiral rank.

To This:

It is possible McCain could have retired as a rear admiral at the end of his convoluted career but what essentially guaranteed was the he was never gonna measure up to his father and grandfather.

Now you're obfuscating to try to save face because your "factual evidence" was shit... the same thing you're full of.

You are very dense. John McCain had not substantive commands assignments in his Naval career. Nobody was going to entrust John McCain even with a destroyer. Hell, he was never even an XO or an any ship whatsoever. Naval Aviator is a path that feeds into being CO of an aircraft carrier. That is if you are good.

John McCain was not in line(up for promotion) to be Rear Admiral, he was not going to be named rear admiral that year. My words as stated are correct. Vague reference about "being on your way" are nothing more than charitable speak on behalf of naval secretary at that time. If you look at John McCain's career, it is a big pile of mediocrity at every stage of his life. Fact of the matter is, Ronald Reagan did not nominate John McCain to be rear admiral nor did the article you mentioned say that he was going to. Being on your way is a nice way of saying "stay put kid".
