Not my fault if you can't differentiate between a population and an individual. Have you considered writing to the Census Bureau and telling them that their statistics are all wrong because your income is higher than the median (Post #22)? But name calling is easier, isn't it?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycop 0 #32 February 21, 2016 Doer's do, That's my problem, I've been a doer my entire life, which puts me at odds with some of my family members. Most of my family have advanced degrees, I was always the crazy action guy who didn't like school. Highly educated condescending dicks do not impress or intimidate me, quite the opposite really. Highly educated people who are brilliant, humble, and REAL do impress me. I love debating with the condescending dicks at social functions. Because of what I do and their immediate judgment at my perceived lack of formal education, they think I'm stupid. When I can hang with them on political, economic, and social issues, many times they just get angry and stomp away. The ones with sense and humility engage and we have a great time. The vast majority are brilliant, with a great sense of humility. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be nice if you would share some of your brilliance with us here. So far you are showing us that you are pretty good at name calling and anger.

skycop 0 #34 February 21, 2016 I've never claimed to be brilliant................. Look earlier in the tread, and what the thread is about. If this is anger, perhaps you should seek a safe space. I've never claimed not to be a sarcastic smartass when the situation dictates. I never questioned the intelligence of people without formal education, or made implications about where they live. This thread is about a public service announcement that ruffled some of the feathers of those who are easily offended. Given the seriousness of the situation, this message will be an effective tool in taking care of the situation. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"

If this is anger, perhaps you should seek a safe space. I've never claimed not to be a sarcastic smartass when the situation dictates. It's hard for me to imagine you could call someone a "condescending dick" if you were not angry. That's beyond sarcasm, it shows frustration and a certain lack of maturity to me. I imagine you could do better.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is about a PSA that is in fact an election message targeted at an electorate that has, on average, the lowest high school graduation rate in the nation....

skycop 0 #37 February 21, 2016 Yea, But sometimes it's just fun, I take the high road 99% of the time. Not angry at all, some comments here just prove what some of the "educated and enlightened" segment of the population think of people who are different than them. This is the same crowd that preaches "inclusion and diversity". (look above, need I say more)............. "Just 'cause I'm simple, don't mean I'm stewpid!"
