-Who came here in 2005 and created sock puppets and why?

I created one back then but I've never used it.

There are tons and tons of them, for sure.

-holding Dems accountable

I was challenging Clown.

I ignore snoofy, and now speakstupid.....and others.

I've challenged billjohnson plenty of times....and others.

I'm not going after dems.

-But ok for maga maroons to do on an hourly basis when they really mean it.

don't misunderstand my challenging Clown for that comment as pretending others here don't do it as well.

-I don't think I have never seen you go after Clown the way you go after The Turd.

-It is human nature with so many unresolved questions for humans to develop theories (conspiracies) that will attempt to fill the void. (See COVID -19)

Wow, you just compared Clown to a COVID denier.

I'm sure he appreciates your help.

-This is why it's so important to fund our pandemic research teams overseas to find the origins of these deadly viruses.

Agreed

-Still not talking about what other people post.... good on you!

Why is corky posting that song over and over?

I think it's a fair question.

-I read an article about how HIV was created in a lab in New York City.

I really hope that's true.

It's bad enough you attempted to offer it as fact but I really hope you didn't lie about the existence of the article on top of it.

-I read an article about how HIV was created in a lab in New York City.

Fair enough.

Post the article and offer it up as something to discuss. You can do that without declaring it as fact.

That would be more than reasonable.

But no........you read something you NEEDED to be true.....so it became.......true.

And damn Eberly for daring to challenge it.

I didn't make this about you. YOU made it about you. I made it about your #5.

"If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. so be it"

You could said all of this 80 posts ago.

But you couldn't.......why?

-There are unresolved questions about HIV origins and emergence.

yeah.

"Eberly continues making it all about my lie"

FT

Forget everything after #5 in this thread.

Let's just go back to #5.

Otherwise, we can be distracted with posts about songs or books. Not even those guys are trying to help you substantiate that assertion.

Why is corky posting the same song over and over?

-But all your comments were about clownshack the username.

You mean the part where I demeaned you by pointing out everyone gives you a pass when you post such nonsense for attention?

Yeah....I did that as well. But it doesn't change the fact you lied and I called it out.

Or.......are you sticking by the comment, "HIV was made in a lab in New York and spread to the LGBT community on purpose."??

If so then defend it. Substantiate it. argue it.

"I forgot.
It was the Africans.
They were having sex with monkeys.
Thanks for the reminder.

#27 | Posted by ClownShack"

Was this total sarcasm?

"But you didn't.
Your response made it all about me."

But I did. That's exactly what I did. I directly responded to your lie in #5 with my #11.

Your post was a lie and I compared you to Buffalo Bob.

Why do you want to skip the part where you lied in order to victimize yourself?

"you didn't post anything about what you thought the origin of HIV was."

-You're the king of creating strawmen, assigning them to other people and arguing against them.

You typed this.

-HIV was made in a lab in New York and spread to the LGBT community on purpose.

I responded to that.

and that is me "creating strawmen, assigning them to other people. blah blah blah blah"??

You are a complete and total psycho.

Everybody here reads your posts.

they pretend they don't and pray I don't challenge them just like I did on this thread.

But......I did point it out.

And that chaps your ass.

Why?

"Make up a position.
2) Assign it to 'Liberals' in general and another blogger in particular."

That's what Clown learned how to do a long time ago.

And it's fine with me. but please....stop whining about it.

"bitching at people for what they say"

Who here doesn't challenge "bitching at" folks for what they say?

WTF are you complaining about now?

And how are you in any position to complain about that when everyone here sees you to it all the time....including right in that very comment?

-"Puling" is becoming a popular word here.

Yeah, I borrowed it from someone. Not sure how much it's being used but I think I've used it twice or so.

-Generalization and strawman alert.

Is that for Corky who made the generalizing statement?

As to everything else you responded with.....thank you for being calm and rational.

"It's not an assumption".

that was a poor term to use. I should have said "assertion".

Like most of you, I have a viewpoint on this issue that's carved in part by my personal experiences.

My parents were not educated. I'm the youngest of 5......none of my older siblings had an education beyond high school.

I had to truly embrace education for myself because nobody in my family understood the value of it. My parents wanted the best for me but they didn't understand the value of an education beyond that of say a Doctor or Dentist or some profession that outright required a certain kind of education. THAT they understood.

But the value of a business degree and getting a job in sales and develop an expertise in something (like commercial insurance)?

None of them understood that. They were clearly envious of anybody who did well (sans doctors, dentists, etc) and dismissed their success as being political, connections, luck, inheritance, etc....but no credit given to an education. They just couldn't make the connection.

I'm rambling here but just being open and transparent.

-I frankly am not enthused by what I see in the Eurodescendant workforce ethic of 20-year-olds.

But that's been the viewpoint of people your age towards the 20 year olds for at least the last 50 years.

IOW, 60-70 year olds have been scared of 20 year olds for a long long time.

-You only need to be brought up in a house where the only book is an unread Bible.

Are you of the opinion that's a lot of houses? And to be more specific.....houses where people vote?

I know many republicans in office. State level and a few at the Federal level.

I don't think it's as simple as some here need it to be....that if there is an "R" after your name, then you view education as a threat.

Certainly that's a stretch if the republican in office has a very good education themselves and realizes the benefit. Is it an assumption that republican is sinister enough to know the value of an education so to cut support of education, it ensures a dumb and ignorant constituency and a solid base to keep where you want them?

I'm not saying you're wrong...just clarifying what you mean when "MAGA hates edumacation" type comments are thrown out.
