No, I meant STOP IT ALREADY. If you cannot guess the meaning of the sentence containing a typo, then something is seriously misfiring in your brain, OR, you are a robot. Oh wait, the spell check technology has been around for a while, definitely not a cutting age AI. So, here you go, if you cannot beat an old software technology in recognizing a typo, get off whatever you are smoking these days.


Why can't you just proofread and fix your typos before posting? Easy.

You make an excellent point. People who return over-and-over to etiolated grouse-fests, and do nothing but add a single dribble to the mountain of existing bile are truly stupid, attention-seeking, and pathetic. They deserve our sympathies, not our scorn.

Scholarly articles start with a summary. What I hate is posters who still won't budge from an ignorant point of view even when presented with 10 sources of scholarly research.


Well, it is called 'faith'.


RAWPGG - Ranting Atheist Who Plays Gotcha Games. If you respond, she'll call you over-sensitive. She'll feel so pleased with herself, because this is probably the only thing going on in her sad little life that actually produces the result she wants.

So don't play her game by responding to this.


You make an excellent point. The persecution of Christians in this country is the great untold story of the last fifty years. It needs to end.

Similarly, if you post several links and label them accordingly:
1. Heritage analysis of fed vs. private sector pay
2. CBO analysis of fed vs. private sector pay
We'd have enough info to ignore the first (because Heritage can't do rigorous, unbiased research to save its collective life) and skip right to the second.


People who categorically reject Wikipedia because "there's no fact-checking", but read the WSJ editorial page or watch Fox News religiously. At least there's a well-defined process for correcting Wikipedia articles.

I haven't read all the responses but I'm sick of that Farah Faucet poster from 1979 with the orange bathing suite and nipples. So sick of that one!

That was my quote originally. My point is, if you're trying to build an argument, don't make us do all the work. I read and write scholarly articles for a living, so yeah I could do this, but my free time is valuable. I'm not going to spend 3 hours trying to figure out this new field of study, read all the articles, and then try to figure out if they're biased or not, all in aid of helping you make your point. Do some of the work yourself, and summarize your endless links.

See....the argument has already been built in the pages leading up. They are there to prove my point is based on actual research. I don't see why anyone would have to read through and summarize articles when the summary is included in the first paragraph of all of them and the whole thread is about the topic being discussed.. Also, posts get too long if you paste information that could easily be accessed by link. You wouldn't read it anyways I'm sure.


Actually, as somebody who does research for a living, I know for certain that I'd have to read every article -- to see if there are any biases, obvious flaws with the regressions, who paid for the research, et cetera. You and I both know there is a lot of awful research out there, paid for by various industries, regressions with flaws that make your eyes pop, all purporting to support one conclusion or another.

I'm sick of posters like this. I can't tell if her biggest problem is laziness, nastiness, or sheer stupidity. I don't care what subject she was raving about. In the end, I don't think there's any hope for either her intelligence or mental state, and she should go bury her head in sand.

Dad With Twins and Crazy Anti-Vax Mom, at least you guys are articulate and civil. You two beat this PP by a mile!

Only if she had been following the recent grammar police thread on "there's"
Otherwise, without the context, one could forgive her for missing the joke.
