    Thanks to you folks, I never forget what's in store if I start fraternizing with native English speakers. The only exception being those with Ph.D.s.

    No one is forcing you to be here.

    I suppose it is beneath you to "fraternize" with me and my sad litttle JD degree. But here's a clue, Einstein: degrees are not necessary to be intelligent. And more importantly, to have morals and wisdom. And character and strength.

    If only your first language were English, you'd measure up? Is that the point of this thread ?

    I thought you quit this board once...


    Did you return so you could quit again?


    I'm not really sure what your problem is... More than once you've expressed your contempt for the members of this board, yet here you are, again. If you don't like the DP members, go away. Go away and don't come back. You have that power.


    I promise you, you won' be missed.

    For some reason I am not that familiar with tailfins. I feel behind the curve in this thread.

    Which probably explains why SO FEW OF US want to fraternize with you. You stand-out, all by yourself as the master of PIG-LATIN, and what a PH.D stands for in your case is...

    For some strange reason, some group think hostility has welled up on this message board. It's not a problem. It's an (occasionally) interesting topic to study. When you figure it out, tell me and we will both know. In the mean time, just consider it entertainment like watching the Jerry Springer TV show. It certainly isn't about politics since my political views come from redstate.com and therightscoop.com . I also like to read dolartoday.com and cubanet.org , both of which are anti-communist sites. The best way I can explain it is what you might call clique dynamics. Anyone who doesn't function well in a clique won't do well at DebatePolicy.

    Shouldn't you come up with your own political views instead of getting them from a couple of websites?

    Got news for you, Mr Assumption. I speak 4 dialects en Espanol. I also can speak some Japanese and Arabic. And dummy here only has a HS diploma. Don't judge a book by its cover.

    Okay ... confess .. I don't speak opera. I did actually bust out the bucks to go see Cats. Totally hot chicks. They come out into the audience and flirt before the show starts. My GF was pissed. I do or did used to clean up well. The Belgian chick that sings part of Memory came and sat on my lap. Guess who didn't get any that night? That was as close to anything I was getting that particular night.

    Far as drama rolls you know where that's going with me.

    Oye, tu habre Espanol? You have not once spoken en Espanol to me. Afraid? And I've challenged you more than twice. Yeah I'm this dumbf*ck Texan who didn't go to college. Just a dumb jarhead. Yeah. That's me.

    No, the problem lies with you being a douchebag.

    Most people don't like douchebags. You will find that to be a universal truth wherever you roam, and I'm sure if you stopped and thought about it, you already know this.

    At some point you will mature enough to realize that the problem isn't everyone else; it's you. Once you take ownership of your social shortcomings, personal growth can begin and you can take steps to reduce your douchey ways - beginning with your misogyny.

    Ha! Eloquently stated, NT! I was searching for the words to say something like that, and you stole my thunder.

    Tailfins should thank you deeply for this post, since it offers life lessons for him that he could use to greatly improve himself.
