Are you clodpates serious? Took ME long enough? It took YOU countless posts to finally comprehend the jab in the first place:

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showt...2799&highlight=ignorance+of+bliss#post2892799

Your assertion that conservatives are happier than liberals? My comment that ignorance is bliss? The point being that you guys are "happier" because of your overwhelming ignorance? 5 Of course wisdom is folly for you invisible-handed anti-regulation creationist climate change deniers! What you don't know can't hurt you, right? So why mess with the facts, let alone wisdom?

My mistake. When I talk down to you next time, I'll be sure to take it a few notches lower and leave a trail of breadcrumbs between the dots. Then again, maybe I shouldn't even bother. By all appearances, a tree stump would offer better repartee.

1) As one can clearly see and verify, the original
post you highlighted (in red)above does not read as you claim.


Your original post claimed a" bliss of ignorance" not "ignorance is bliss". Hence my unfamiliarity with your assertion/ claim and the request for your reference.

Might it have anything to do with the bliss of ignorance?

2) Once you did reveal your reference. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/reply.php?s=&action=newreply&postid=2892822 and confirmed my suspicions of your source.

I corrected the often misquoted phrase or clause of the poem taken out of context "Where ignorance is bliss, Tis folly to be wise."

Let me say at this point there is nothing really wrong with being ignorant of the source of the common adage.


3) However trying to use that source to validate your premise. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/reply.php?s=&action=newreply&postid=2892822 shows how clueless you are.

Any fair reader can tell that the meaning of your assertion in red is completely changed by the complete clause of the poem blue & red.
And that change is exacerbated by the next complete clause/phrase
blue & red plus purple .

4) It started getting painfully obvious how completely inept you are
when you tried to bluster your way through after I educated you on the matter ( all the while you were kicking and screaming).
Presumably because a Southern conservative redneck not only knows more than you: he set a trap for you to fall into of your own doing (stepping on your dick as we'd say here.):D


5) Oh GEEZ there you go again (running over you dick with the lawn mower this time) proving you have no clue as to the meaning of the second clause purple concerning wise'dom and folly.:D :D :eek:

I have no problems with that.I pay into SS and medicare,I get SS and medicare when I retire.(Of course you get fucked if you die before retirement age but it is what it is)

1)Obamacare wont cost me that much.Bushes 1 trillion dollar wars,trillion dollar medicare expansion and 2.4 trillion dollar tax cuts will cost me more

Well since there is a very real possibility that you won't get to take home more than 58% of your wages that makes things like raising a family, college education, retirement savings a huge challenge.


Pretty soon that safety net becomes it's own snare.

Then, there's that girl with the comely face , pleasing figure and education to match who replaces you on the job in 10 yrs.
You might want to remember this line.
(you want fries with that?)

1)How can you be nonchalant about the costs of obama care but yet be upset over medicare?

Fancy color-coding aside, the point continues to escape you. The author's complete sentence, while fanciful and poetic, does not change the context in any way as I originally intended it for you. I alluded that the higher level of happiness you attributed to the conservatives is the result of their (your) ignorance. A claim I often make. And when the poet asserts that where ignorance is bliss it's folly to be wise, I will ask you: when is it ever wise to be ignorant? That brings us back to the invisible handed anti-regulation science-bashing creationist climate change deniers that you are. But, true to form, you're just too blissful to comprehend the point.

You may try to lose yourself among the trees, but the forest remains there for anyone with a brain to see. Consult an adult and have him or her explain it to you. Slowly. Because you really are that stupid. And although ignorance can be cured, stupid is forever. Admittedly, I wasn't fully aware of just how far to the right you were along the ignorance/stupidity continuum.

1) The color coding is effective save for people like you that cannot follow the logical equivalent of a slowly bouncing ball.

2) Well if you do maintain the spirit of the poet you are calling liberals fool('ish). So knock yourself out

3) Once again you prove you don't know the concept in the poem.

4a) Take that up with the author.
4b)Perhaps in this case it would have been better to be ignorant of your stupidity because Now I'm faced with the old adage never argue with a fool.

5) You can't help but to continue making a complete mockery of yourself and thereby all the loser liberals on the forum.

Trust me they are all cringing at the ass kicking this here unedjumicated redneck is putting on you.

6) I see that Mommy didn't give you that cookie eh?

One of the pitfalls of engaging an imbecile in an exchange of any kind, is that he doesn't even know when he has been eviscerated. Hence the expression, "He's too dumb to die."
 
I merely ask that all posters and lurkers review the evidence presented and draw your own unbiased conclusions.


Gadfly has backed himself into a corner and steadfastly refuses to admit his error like an adult.(no surprise there what liberals does?)
 
I was ignorant of the source of that expression. I am grateful for the entertaining education.

I wonder how many adages are taken out of context.

I know the "the first thing you do is kill all the lawyers" adage is also taken out of context.
