Bush's Handling Of The War

[kmc]

Zing!

[RocDoc]

_{...and so it goes...}

Aah, so spake the 'above the fray'-fool, mister Kenny...

If you're the one who needs to slap around a woman, placebo or not, to calm you down...honestly I wouldn't spread such ideas around a msg board so obviously.
Sick fucker.

OK thorn...I understand what you're saying about taking words that you've written perhaps with a bit too much seriousness, but if you look back I definitely did not come after that first comment like 'the 50 megaton bomb'(or whatever you said of it) which you say I did...other than now every comment by me being also taken in the worst possible of ways, instantly.

But you very definitely did misunderstand that I wasn't talking in any vast generalities about your entire life and outlook. Like I said in a subsequent post that was about more of a sidebar (if you will) of your personality that by default says nearly all the rest of us haven't a clue. IF I take what you say seriously...and THAT to me seemed a bit sad that huge groups of people who you know, people you interact with everyday (incl strangers who you interact with every day, and perhaps enjoy)are so much dumber than a box of rocks that 'peace' isn't on their agenda.

Add to the comment to Kenny:
;D

[RocDoc]

Zing?



WTF that sure seemed completely without a point(especially when my last 3 posts have been to say that I'm NOT talking about thorn being DISsatisfied with his life)...other than ma-a-aybe to a bunch of self-congratulatory 'heh-heh-heh'-ing gibbons thinking they honestly got one over on ol' Doc...

You fuckers have no idea what I'm talking (or trying to)about, it's pretty fucking obvious.

Caffeine psychosis? What is it?

[stratman19]

The ignorance that comes with youth I think.

[RocDoc]

They'd probably kick an old man's cane out from under him and laugh.

Supernaturally tough age supremacists we have here.

I honestly don't wish them badly but time is one great fucking 'leveller'...when you don't expect it.

[kmc]

More like the senility of old age.

I've never seen such a condensed combination of arrogance and false modesty in one person before. I know that's nothing new for me to say, but it still gets me everytime.

They'd probably kick an old man's cane out from under him and laugh.

I believe the response you would give in this instance would be "RESPECT MAH AUTHORATAH!"

[shin]

I should admit, though, that getting my Chiropractor degree at age 38 is so beyond my feeble comprehension that I feel like kicking an old man's cane out from under him in frustration. The fact I will most likely end up with a measly Emerson degree really makes me feel impotent and angry at old people, whom themselves also impotent, and thus become objects of my confused rage due to youthful ignorance.

[Galactus]

I was just wondering, how old do you think each of "us" is? I don't mean that indignantly...not "how dare you call us kids...!" or anything. I, for one, hope I never get old.

[Thorngrub]

Alright, here it is.
Roccer: *grabs your eyes with a stare* What is happening here
I will reveal by simple stages. One. You are overreacting only because
you've mis-interpreted the underlying meaning of my post. This is easily
explained. A. Posting forum miscommuniques. B. Language of origin
misconstruals. These things don't just add up: they multiply.
Two. By taking what I've presented here as literally as you are able--
(given your lack of choice in further distinguishing the subtly hidden
actual meaning compressed into my odd choice of words--
what is occuring here is quite simply a quite pronounced case of
"communication breakdown", baby, and as long as you can recognize
as I look in your eyes that its no more your fault than it is mine,
I think we can agree we'll be proceeding to be,
getting along just fine.

Now that was merely in response
to 15% of what you posted,
Roccer. Here it is:

"I honestly cannot understand why with your Emerson College and U of Va super-duper educations of distinctions (in lit or writing or some such shit, right thorn?) that someone pointing out...wait. Check that. Trying to simply point out that your saying 'Wheew! I shore WISH with all my being that someone around here was for peace, if just a little bit...'


definitely means


that you think that THEY all have no interest in peaceful solutions(if one truly for CERTAIN existed); that THEY are simply interested in MALICIOUSLY sending their sacred youth into what they fully know is a meat grinder."

The rest of your post, which is over 6 times longer, I have not quoted above,
because I have not had the time to read it all yet,
but I'll tell you what, I can guess its just more of the same overreaction to my post based on a simple compound of standard communication problems obviously inherent to

-- Our being on this online forum

and

-- Each of us having different first languages

So you can probably already see why I'm hesitant to "break down every point you make" when your entire tirade stems from these fundamental errors I have pointed out, simple, obvious errors generated from plain communication breakdowns.

In any case, since (I'm sure) you still feel righteous enough about your point (never mind mine),
I'll extend the courtesy of continuing to follow the remainder of your post, all 32 lines of it, in a normally acceptable posting-board timespan, say by tomorrow when I'm back at work again, I'm sure it'll just be a blast. In all fairness,


g'nite

Whatever. I am sure that, just as we are getting a kick out of the Doctor's supposed temper tantra here in the board, he's getting a kick out of us thinking that he's actually serious about the ridiculous, self-aggrandizing stuff he says here. The Doc is just fucking around. He doesn't believe all this stuff. Why else would he argue with a bunch of people he deems so immature? He's just pushing buttons.

Damn Doc, you ARE funny.

[Thorngrub]

"This is you thorn, appending MALICE to the intentions of all of THOSE people, don't you see?"

NO, I don't see, Roc. What I do see, however, is perfectly clear to me. This is YOU, Roc, MIS-CON-STRUING what I've intended to say, and furthermore --> taking your misconstrual and runnin with it full-speed-ahead with what I said shaking it in your fist for all to see "Looky looky look-see! This guy is APPENDING MALICE to the intentions of ALL US WELL MEANING GOOD PATRIOTIC FOLK", well Roc - with all due respect - your OVERreaction is bullSHIT, because it is WRONG.

HOW do I make this any clearer to ya man?

It's like, here's an example for you to (hopefully) understand:

*thoRn's method*: I lay out a feeling, a thought, in a manner intended to be tentative, as in, my thought is merely a toe-hold into the door of further understanding. AS IN: I suggest something, with the full intention of anyone or everyone putting their 2c in, to help steer my tentative contribution in a general direction we might all agree in.

But NOOOOOOO!, not YOU dear ol' Roccer. Instead of taking a subtle conversational hint and adding your voice to the chorus of understanding, you (for some reason I can only suspect) instead react to what I've posted as if it were some FINAL and ABSOLUTE assessment, well let me tell ya man, I'm just making conversation on a message board the best way I know how, I never once professed to be the "end all, know all" on any topic, much less politics, yet YOU treat me as if that is EXACTLY what *I* am intending/thinking, well you're full of it on that count, Doc.

I am only trying to start up a 2-WAY communication, wherein we EACH contribute towards the other's thinking, each of us adding to the other's perceptions.

But all you do is TAKE AWAY from the convo, man. I am not ATTACKING you here, I am earnestly trying to reach out and establish a sense of understanding.

Did ANY of what I've said make ONE WHIT of sense to you . . . CAN you pierce through the twin murk of INTERNET FORUM talk AND seperate First Language barriers to see this? Because I am this very moment only attempting to reach across and through to you, NOT by any stretch of the imagination am I even entertaining any notions of furthering a stupid ass "Flame War", dig?

In any case, I HOPE this post has helped a tad towards getting you to see that when I say something simple like "you don't really think we're interested in peace, do ya?", that there is far more beneath the surface there for you to inquire into besides some OMNISCIENT perspective you seem to feel I insist upon. Gimme a BREAK dude (and take that chill pill).

[Thorngrub]

And I understand it's "not you saying I don't lead a satisfied and happy life", I get that.

Roc, we are BOTH guilty of misinterpreting where we're coming from: ALL THE MORE REASON to try and graciously with good intent strive all the harder towards reaching an understanding, don't you think?

And how you ever figured out I attended the University of Virginia, I'll never know.

[Thorngrub]

And NO, I have never felt a need or desire to "twist" your comments around. I am only trying to understand them (just as I'm sure you try in your own way to understand mine). And I never have wanted you to just "keep quiet" or "go away", did I ever post anything to that effect? So save your self-righteous "Well fuck you. No" for someone else who actually tells you to be quiet or go away. Your indignation is wasted on me.
