I think the leftist in question represents the most extreme type of jaded individual -- one who has been so frustrated in his pursuits to explain the question posed that he basically decides that it all has to go.
I've seen it before, in professors and certain students. There are probably a number of psychological factors at play that are destroying this person's ability to think rationally. So they give up on good sense and seek an easy, overarching solution to their lack of ability to explain society.
Both. He's bat insane, but so are a lot of others.
Definitely takes these thoughts to an extreme, though. I know lots of people who view the capitalism/colonialism at the heart of "Western Culture" as being both an extreme version of humanity's tendencies toward selfishness and cruelty and as a system that helps to propagate and perpetuate those tendencies (this is an especially common line of thought in certain feminist theories as it relates to patriarchy and globalization, and one that actually makes a lot of sense in various arguments), but I don't personally know anyone who takes that far enough to suggest that the world would be sunshine and lollipops were Western Culture to suddenly go away.
I get it now.
I'm betting it's held by the pure left about as much as western civilization is really responsible for all the evil in the world.
just a guess, please nobody ask for a link.
Does that beat a biased agenda based website flush?
you're welcome for nothing.
I hate having to bust out the dictionary every time you post.
Google is such a pain in the butt. I'm not sorry.
Opening a new window really is. Pretty sure I'm not the only one that skips past your posts at time because of your verboseness.
Non-apology accepted.
Your browser doesn't have tabs or built in search fields?
I'm too lazy for that and I'm not as dictionarily inclined as some. I'd rather just read a post/thread without having to do any other clicking.
my human nature, I guess.
Remember when George W. Bush used the word "kerfuffle" correctly in a sentence?
Does anybody think that was the word on his "Word of the Day" toilet paper that day?
Are you really that dense that you're unable to use a helpful little friend called "context"? That must be rough.
Perhaps you should defenestrate yourself to go play in the club section. It seems like this forum is a bit over your head here.
Orly? I doubt it is for most.
I hear you, believe it or not.
I'll continue to rein myself in and I'm pretty sure you'll continue not to notice. No biggie.
verbosity
so you are saying that using big words for the sake of attempting to appear smart is what it takes to be in this forum?
Looks like you fall right in place here with some of the other idiots that do that type of thing instead of getting to the point.
For the record, WH is no idiot.....but you are.
I didn't say most. I said I'm probably not the only one.
, maybe I am the only lazy idiot regarding this. Either way, just my op and just trying to mess with you a little.
That's about as far I can lead the horse to the water.- > highlight the word you wish to define
- > right click on highlighted word
- > select "Search Google for '(the word you highlighted)'" from the menu
- > Firefox opens new tab that displays Google search results.
You don't know what's in anybody else's mind, Blake. Everybody jumps in and starts swimming wherever they happen to be.
I'll try to be more considerate.
Derailed...
It's actually in some people's normal, everyday nomenclature to use three-plus syllable words.
It doesnt make them smarter or better, just more exact. Linguistic potency can be seen as a means to better express, with clarity, the intended idea/emotion/argument/etc.
Me? Ive always posted like I speak. Teachers always marked me down for it. Never understood why.
Verbositiociousness. Ness.
First of all, the fact that you admit to being too lazy to go learn a few new words for your own potential betterment is pretty pathetic.
And secondly, I have to laugh at your assertion that I use larger than average words to "appear smart". I could give a flip what you think about my diction or word choice. But then again, I'm not the one whining that people are using a vocabulary that's too big for my britches, either. Anti-intellectualism continues to power the human spirit!
I'm not going to dumb down how I speak or type just so you feel better about yourself. What's there to lose by learning a few new words? Oh, right, you wouldn't want to give the impression that you're trying! People might peg you for an elitist, and we can't have that, now can we?
thanks. I'm at work and running on an older IE.
Even so, again, that's a hassle and for me a distraction from the post.
Again, that's just me.
Again, me guessing that I'm not the only is just my opinion.
I know what's on some posters minds and can make their post before they do.
No need to be considerate on my count. You post the way you want. I'm just spouting off for kicks and giggles.
I blame the great Dr. Carlota Cardenas de Dwyer for my propensity to use words which are not in the typical American's lexicon. I cannot help it. I got ejicadid.
