Bureau of Land Management? [blm, sanders]
Washington Post Sanders leaves Seattle stage after event disrupted by Black Lives Matter protesters.
Oh. Those guys again. I wouldn't have thought of that on my own. I wonder if Democrats are active having them all shut up the way Republicans jump on Trump who is presently their party's frontrunner, and his supporters for enabling him, or if the Democrats welcome the additional disruption. Lie. No I don't wonder that.

Bernie doesn't see many Negroes in Vermont.
I thought BLM was Bureau of Land Management. In Nevada, they manage the wild donkeys and jackasses too.
Looks like everyone is shutting everyone up these days. Hillary keeps herself quiet.
"Land of the free and the home of the brave".
"Ye shall know them by their fruitcakes"
These are Great Society grandchildren, sprung from loins of grievance.
OT, what is it about liberals and megaphones? Why must they artificially amplify their voices at every rally? Conversatives aren't doing that. Libs need a Pete Seeger asking them to pipe down.

Conservatives want a microphone where loudmouth lefties want a megaphone.
The woman acted like a psychopath. I'm glad she was boo'd and I hope she suffers a fit of depression. I was reminded of the woman in Madison Wisconsin who tried to incite a riot after the the killing of Tony Robinson.
They're all yours, Democrats, all yours.
Won't happen at a Hillary event, they couldn't get close to the stage.
Bernie might have to hire some rough men.
Lots of nasty white racists and sexists in Seattle booing and trying to silence black wymenz.
They say they'll shut down one of the conventions next year.
Worked out well the last time.
A lot of unhappiness out there with Obama 😉
Allen S - bingo.
Allen, Good point. The Secret Service hate Hillary, but are obligated to protect her and would not allow these hooligans anywhere near her.
You seem like an intelligent reasonable person with interesting ideas. Can I get your newsletter? Do you have a blog?
Here's the thing . Trump is the face of the a Republican Party. Angry old white men. Sanders is the face of the Democrat party. Weak communist pansies on the run from the criminal lobby.
You make the call.
Fight The Glower!
They went to the wrong place. Planned Parenthood was that way --------->.
A Lefty dasn't go up against a schvartze!
They're the face of nothing. They're the mouths of the loud, fatuous and ineffective. Of which there are many.
They are legion.
That's the kind of nonsense behavior that only reinforces racial problems.
Notice how these problems don't affect Indian-Americans, no matter how dark-skinned they are or how far south on the subcontinent they originate.
It's because they study, value getting ahead and don't scream and yell and disrupt as the only way of making a point.
Justice for Sanjay Gupta!!! Justice for Deepak Chopra!!!
Justice for Dinesh D'Souza!!! -- oh wait…
Justice for Michael Jordan!
And for O.J. Simpson!
Speaking of Dravidians, I love this Russell Peters skit.
"They are legion" on the left: Feminists, LGBTlmnop, race mongers, illegal immigrants, unionistas, occupyists, etc, etc. All mobs demanding things from the rest of us just because they feel they deserve it, because they exist.
The right has an occasional quiet respectful Tea Party who just demand to be left alone and to have their money spent with some respect for the work it takes to earn it.
Indian Lives Matter.

Right. They're loonies are more repressed.
But when their designated mouth actually opens up, and lets out the flood of equally ugly and poorly thought-out ideas, we're like, "Thank you Donald Trump for giving voice to what your constituents are too afraid to say out loud. You couldn't have said it better."
You're kidding yourself if you think some of those signs waved by the quieter ones weren't equally ridiculous.
You know what they say after a mass shooting. It's the quiet ones you have to worry about.
The mass-murderer who neighbors said was always such a quiet, nice, well-behaved young man.
The left insists they are victims of everyone, including those on their side, because being a victim is much more powerful if everyone is feeling guilty.
The right insists they are victims primarily of government. They can deal with everyone else like human beings as long as they are not using the government against them. The right doesn't object to you wanting things, even if you don't deserve them. They object to being forced to give you them just because you want.
They're also the face of the Left.
Oh look! The voice of proud irresponsibility speaks! About faces, no less!
Funny thing to hear coming from a guy without even an avatar, let alone a real-life face to show.
Don't worry ed. It's not like showing yourself would get you in trouble with employers or anything.
And now ed will respond with a half-dozen incoherent non-responsive tu quoques.

In order to pretend this makes any sense or give it any equivalence, they exaggerate to the point of ridiculousness. They believe that a guy richer than they'll ever be, paying 15% on carried interest is being treated in a way worse than if he were maimed, brutalized and locked in solitary.
That's what happens when the right-wing tries to pretend it's been victimized and seeks supposed "victims" of atrocity.
The BLM people are loud, but people take their issue more seriously than they take your non-issue of people wishing Porsche would sell tires other than those by Pirelli.
What do you call it when someone exaggerates in an attempt to mischaracterize another's position as exaggeration. Is that irony, hypocrisy...?
We call it Ritmo.
You don't have to exaggerate or pick out one of a kind absurdities to show the extremism of the left. Shitting on cop cars, naked bike riding, naked parades, graffiti, destruction of property, pipe bombs, letter bombs, shouting people down in restaurants or speeches, rioting, having armed men in front of polling places on election day, riots, looting, riots, free TVs and liquor. Oh yea,and riots. And they don't even pick up their own trash - even at anti-pollution events.
OK, I understand that pooping in public is more than just a statement. It's kind of a leftist cultural tradition that open minded people should learn to tolerate, so I retract that part.
Ritmo, Great intellectually honest comment @ 12:50pm. Many black Americans feel that way as well. They get called "Uncle Toms" if they say what you did. You, would be called "RAAAACIST" on a liberal blog for saying that. And, you are more likely to be called "RAAAACIST" by a white liberal, who lives in an all white neighborhood, sends their kids to all white private schools, and has no black friends. I socialize and have black buddies. They are enraged and embarrassed by fools like this.
The SJW's are everywhere. They are like a spreading cancer.
What's funnier is that we are discussing SJW's as they relate to an admitted communist like Sanders. It's like looking at the mosaic of the left. All stupid, all evil, all the time.
Oh right. I forgot. Nudity and rioting. Horrible displays of things somehow harmful to freedom, and yet, brought to you and embraced by the same people who brought the world democracy, freedom and civilization in the first place: Ancient Greece, Rome, Colonial America, etc. Being uptight and obedient robot-slaves whose only fecal projections come from the mouth of their idol Don Trump is much more virtuous. Saying ordinary people's problems should take a backseat to the super-wealthy is also more virtuous.
What you want Bag, and I hate to say it, is a tyranny of the wealthy - whom you believe should get special privilege and consideration from government over everyone else. As if paying 15% tax or less on carried interest is a bigger public interest priority than all the challenges in life faced by the majority of everyone else.
All this other nonsense about blacks and whatnot is a distraction from that agenda. People can be even-handed in ascribing blame about that. They can't be even-handed when you try to force them to agree to seeing Mitt Romney's "troubles" in life as greater than those of anyone collecting combined interest/wages or salary less than his. That's the reason Trump gets traction: At least the personal problems he bitches about are petty and unrelated to his bank statements. You, OTOH, actually think the GOP has a chance at reviving another plutocrat who will give the hidden message of telling anyone less wealthy than him to go stuff it.
I think the trick, ndspinelli, is just to be even-handed about it. I recognize that there is systemic racism and a long legacy of it when it comes to blacks being brutalized by cops, judges, prosecutors, wardens, legislators, whites in general and every aspect of the criminal justice system. But I also recognize that they are their own worst enemy in perpetuating a self-destructive attitude that despises education and literacy with the same passion that Bagoh20 hates those things. They replace a love of learning and conventional achievement with a rage against the system - and suffer greatly for it. It makes it harder for the racism to go away if they refuse to adopt the attitudes and priorities embraced by Indian Americans or anyone else nearly as dark-skinned as they are but without anywhere near the same issues when it comes to bettering one's prospects in a law-abiding society.
...having armed men in front of polling places on election day…
Anyone afraid of Black Panthers in 2015, let alone thinking they pose as great a threat to voting rights as the voting restriction laws pushed by the ALEC/Koch machine (esp. vis a vis limiting voting hours) is a paranoid fantasist living on the wrong side of Nixon's 1970s.
Shorter Bag: An armed white man in plain daylight is a virtuous soldier-citizen in waiting, no matter how many movie theaters, army bases, schools, daycare centers, etc., his demographic shoots up in grotesque massacres. An armed black man in plain daylight, just by virtue of going to a polling booth, is somehow worse. Remember, we can't be even-handed when it comes to the 2nd amendment. Rights for whites, not for African blights.
Ritmo, your comments above stand like a beacon of partisan blindness.
If you can defend armed partisans at a polling place, you have no credibility on anything about voting, democracy, or freedom. You should just plead stupidity, because the alternative is far worse.
And I didn't need to bring in race. It's entirely irrelevant. You, on the other hand can't resist it. Why is that?
Race is the topic of the post. You are now claiming that I "brought in" the topic of the post?
That's the kind of illiteracy that that loses elections, no matter how rich you are.
You dance pretty good for a white boy.
If you can defend armed partisans at a polling place, you have no credibility on anything about voting, democracy, or freedom. You should just plead stupidity, because the alternative is far worse.
If the second amendment is being expanded to apply to schools, churches and other public places of former weapons-free sanctuaries from violence, then I don't see why you feel you can unilaterally repeal it on the public sidewalk in front of a polling place. Would you do that to a white arms-bearing man also, or just a black one? Is it his beret that you found particularly menacing?
Ritmo, your comments above stand like a beacon of partisan blindness.
You are wrong, Richie Rich. Even the GOP is getting tired of corporatist plutocracy. They still think tycoons should be idolized, and hence their respect for even a lunatic asshole like Don Trump. But they are sick of toeing the line of giving special consideration, treatment, government privilege and prioritization to corporations and billionaires over the needs of the ordinary people. This is America and your vote is just one of hundreds of millions. Your extra dollars might buy more speech, but it can't bribe the people into denying that their needs are just as important as yours, not less. This has become a non-partisan issue, finally. You are not more important than other voters.
Bag's thoughts on gun control:
Having a gun: Not a problem. (Assuming you're white).
Having a gun while black: Potentially a problem.
Having a gun while black and wearing a beret: Very troublesome.
Having a gun while black and wearing a beret and not interfering with people on the public street productively going about their business: There should be a law against that!
Bag, you are a parody.
It's pretty bad reading to think that Trump's wealth is what makes him popular. This is why I support programs to improve literacy. We all know someone who needs that help.
Came in through the back door and notice a lot of comments to this post and I'm all oh goodie, lots of comments, let's look. Oh shit, they're half ritmo's, skip, skip, skip, skippity, skipskip skip.
They were armed with nightsticks. 75 election monitors were turned away in heavily Democratic polling sites. "Democratic polling sites" is clearly an oxymoron.
...skip, skip, skip, skippity, skipskip skip.
That's the move Chip learned when potential suitors do it to him after he walks into the local gay bar.
But in their case, they are afraid. They see his sourpuss expression and Members Only Iranian president's jacket and figure they'll do their best to avoid ending up skinned and eaten alive in Chip's basement.
They were armed with nightsticks.
Nightsticks? OMG, worse than firearms! Somebody ought to make a law against that!
What's your fear? That their arms recalled police gear?
Maybe you're thinking of LA, where police-community relations have been horrible. There are actually locales in America where police-community relations aren't that shitty and where the two aren't suspicious of each other just on account of symbols representing some silly and artificial divide between the police and the community they're paid to serve.
But I now see you're backtracking on the whole fear-of-armed-black-men thing anyway, so it's all moot. Just like when Trump backtracks on every moronic thing he's ever said; which is just about every few minutes or so.
I think I'm starting to understand Chip's fascination with mummified Egyptian pharaohs now. His biggest concern in life is whether he'll make a nicely preserved corpse. Preferably behind a gilded sarcophagus. If he can't enjoy this life, at least maybe he'll be beautified in the reminders he leaves behind from the next.
He's like the shinier version of Joan Rivers. In reverse.

Rioting was embraced by the Greeks?
Missed that one in history class.
And, last I heard, everybody wore togas back then. This bull the queers are pushing, that it's their right to walk around with nothing but a pair of flip flops, is something the Greeks did is a Ritmoesque fantasy.
Skip, skip, skip to the loo...
I was in Athens two weeks ago. I think they don't need lectures on their history from you.
Have you ever been on an airplane, Eddie-doucher?
Have you ever traveled more than twenty miles from your trailer?
Gasoline must be as precious a commodity to Ed as it is to Mad Max.
Ed's life would be like that, but with vehicles in an even worse state of slapdash disrepair - assuming he can get them off the cinder blocks out front.
I hope I've characterized Ed's life better than he mischaracterized those of the ancient Greeks.
Rhythm and Balls said...

And here you sounded as if we were talking about Attic Greece - Lacedemonia, Euboea, Boeotia, Oropia. They're the ones who gave us democracy, not the Euro trash sinking under the weight of Socialism.
Keep projecting, sweetie. The more outlandish your epithets, which do nothing to rebut what I said BTW, the more it becomes apparent the only grease you've been to is what you've had to clean off on your Mom's stove top.
And here you sounded as if we were talking about Attic Greece - Lacedemonia, Euboea, Boeotia, Oropia.
That you recite place-names doesn't mean you can pretend that ancient Greeks were body-shunning Puritans as uptight in their sex lives and mores as a no-ass-getting belly-flop in the dating pool as you. If you want to pretend that they were homophobes (which is the utterest of nonsense) then go look at all the art they did that didn't have dudes with boners around each other or in groups. Greek sculpture (and 2-D art) in general was a tremendous advance because of how realistically it depicted the human body, and you can't do that when you're as afraid of it as the pimply-faced impotent worrywart known as "Edoucher".
To repeat, Puritanism of the sort governing Ed's no-sex sex-life was not something with which Greeks were familiar at all. It's over 100 degrees over there. Nudity was normal. Penises were carved onto buildings as a tribute to virility, fertility, good fortune and other things that Ed lacks. "Toga" is a Latin word and was worn by politicians anyway, not everyone in general. The temples at Delos (birthplace of Apollo, according to the legend) had several-meter erect penises carved alongside statues of other gods, demi-gods and heroes - of which the bases, consisting of testicles, remain. They were not monotheists. They were not monastics. They thought it absurd to fear sex the way Ed does.
As there are halfwits, there are also half brains. Ed is one of these. He read a book and incorporated that into his cultural myopia and sexual insecurity and so deigns to project that onto everything that actual Greek people know and can see about their own history.
I guess that's what a guy who has no access to actually seeing anything about the world and learning from the people who live in it is forced to do -- if he's ambitious enough. Ed's ambition to lecture people trumps his ability to actually learn about the world or even visit people who have.
He is the anti-erudition. Schooled in and ready to school you in all the things he doesn't know.
He makes people dumber just by listening to him. Which is, after all, his only goal in life.
And stop calling me "sweetie", you fucking closet queen. If you're going to be gay, go to a club (one that doesn't charge a cover, if you can't plead poverty and get in anyway) and stop projecting your issues onto your creepy comments directed at me - you tiny twat of a man.
If you think riding a bicycle naked is an intelligent way to make societal change, then there is a party for you.
If you think shitting in public and leaving public parks as open sewers is smart political activity, then there is a party for you.
If you think breaking windows and stealing some Cheetos and Chivas Regal is effective social messaging that brings us all together, there is a party for you.
That party has a candidate for you too. A candidate that was part of the system and worked in support of that valuable work for decades. That candidate got filthy rich working for us all. What a country!
I prefer a tiny twat,... I mean considering the alternative.
I prefer a tiny twat,... I mean considering the alternative.
Then you'll love ed.
He's right up your alley. Or you're right up his. Whatever.
Riding a bike naked is just fun - I presume. That Bag condemns it as a failed attempt to change things just shows that one of his bigger concerns is getting the government to keep people uptight.
The other things aren't worth addressing. Apparently someone pissed on his property drunk or something, or didn't have a toilet of their own. Apparently he's the kind of neighbor that invites that, for some reason. But think of all he'll save on irrigation and fertilizer!
The only system Trump was a part of was the system of inheriting wealth, bankrupting himself of it four times, reacting contemptuously to the slightest dare of any personal criticism, and thinking that his unhinged ego and ill-considered vitriol are great substitutes for reasoned policy. Of course, that's a system that 20% of the people love, and Bag's one of them. But it doesn't get anyone into the White House. For good reason.
Hey Ritmo, Why don't you convince some of your leftie friends to take a shower and then come over here once in a while to provide some balance to our decidedly one-sided forum. We need that. In an internet forum, you don't have to worry about smells or hygiene or violence. They can comment in the nude with or without a nightstick. Even a beret or Che shirt can be done without anyone the wiser. I'm serious. We need some southpaws up in here.
BTW, are you naked right now?
"But it doesn't get anyone into the White House."
I think it's pretty much the standard method, and always has been.
Nonsense. It's humility (real or faked) that gets presidents elected - at least when it comes to psychological attributes. Donald Trumps raging hemorrhoid of an ego is precisely why he'll max out at 20%. You honestly think every other American and more needs to be insulted? Yes, I understand you think you're better than other Americans and that it's only natural for 80% of the voting public to seek humiliation from a supposed superior in the form of a rich man or the conservative politician he bought. But this is actually a false delusion. It's your ego tricking you into thinking people like you for your wealth. They don't.
Yeah that Obama is one humble guy. Heh.
Obama and Clinton got elected and re-elected because they were Julia's imaginary boyfriend.
Trump is nobody's imaginary boyfriend.
So he will be out soon enough.

Well, now, I have yet to see a rebuttal in all that sludge, just more projection. Pissy when we're defied, aren't we?
And show me where it's documented your average Athenian, Corinthian, Spartan, or Theban walked around town in his birthday suit because that's what you implied, the way you implied the rioters of today were carrying on some Attic tradition. Art, of course, doesn't really count because all eras of Western Civ showed the human body - Durer, Rubens, Courbet (they're artists, you know). You want to include the Venus of Willendorf, or is that too hetero for you?
So keep up with your little hissy fits, sweetie. Keep up the name-calling.
You know what the Chinese say - you can always tell who's losing the argument, he's the first to raise his voice.
Now Ricky Ricardo Rubio!
Babaloo!
Both Lucy and Ethel could dream about him! Oye como va!
Scott Walker not so much.
But you would buy insurance from him.
Bernie Sanders will only be popular after he is dead.
Then you can prop him up and hang out with him all weekend.
Oh wait. Some black chicks already did that. Nevermind.
You only need Hillary if you want to give a logger a lobotomy and have an Indian break out of the crazy house. Oh and have a mo off himself. Hey wait a minute that might be useful.
Hey Titus. Hillary wants to talk to you.
"Documentation" (to historians, not a nobody in his trailer) would exist in the form of art, when it comes to physical depictions of dress, etc. Ancient Greek olympians competed naked. Their warriors fought naked. (Spartans were well known for this, actually. They slept under the stars and and were raised from birth to endure and exacerbate the worst natural conditions they could replicate). Once Eddddddd finds links of Spartans suiting up in fur coats (like the bankrupted Russian entrepreneurs who tried to revive the industry in Rhodes!) then he'll have actually met the burden of having "provided evidence" for his persistently bizarre and ignorant point.
Average people didn't go around naked all the time. The point is merely that it wasn't considered scandalous to do so. Don't worry, no one's going to force you to parade around your tiny shriveled schlong in public once your teleport-time machine is operational and takes you back to the world you wished you actually knew something about.
Ed believes that this ancient Greek version of Jesus and the Virgin Mary needs to be revised. Apparently it's not really one of the gods they paid homage to.
Just because he said so.
And because arguing on the internet makes him feel important.
To repeat: He has no evidence for what he says, and has now been humiliated with four blatant and easily-discovered links that show his vision of "Puritanical-American Ancient Greece" to have been dead-wrong.
Maybe he'll pretend he was arguing something else all along.
Now Ed argues that the lack of realism in later European art proves that ancient Greek art was all non-realistic. Especially all those orgies and just general nudity on the ceramics. You know, because pottery had no use to them. It was just their own form of pornography that they kept discretely hidden from all guests and onlooker and for the sort of "personal and private" purposes that ed would relate to.
Behold: The contortions of an embarrassingly uneducated man!
You know what the Chinese say - you can always tell who's losing the argument, he's the first to raise his voice.
Yes, the Chinese are so accurate in the art of rhetoric given that long-held tradition of democracy of theirs they know so well.
Actually, in your case, it's the guy who keeps mumbling that he wasn't wrong all along. You definitely have an unusually humble way of persistently inserting your incurable ignorance into a thread you don't like.
Greek gods often had Roman equivalents. For those shocked -- shocked! I tell ya! -- by nut sacks at Delos and Satyr (statues of which are sold in Greek souvenir shops as often as ouzo), I recommend checking out the depictions of Priapus. These were definitely not people as afraid of sex (or nudity) as ed is or weirdly believes they were supposed to be.
Fun tidbit: It's claimed that even the Italian cornicello (that curvy tendril medallion worn by not-so-fine jewelry customers in NYC and elsewhere) hearkens back to the same phallus commonly employed by their ancestors as a sign of fertility and good luck.
But I digress. Ed has some educational outrage and cultural myopia to project so let's be sensitive to that.
I've been to Europe a couple of times and even lived there for three years. But, I've never been to Greece. I was expertly schooled in modern Greek culture by a Greek grad student. From him I learned my favorite all around Greek word: Malakas.
More fun stuff on the reverberations of phallus-veneration in ancient Rome and way beyond:

Mercurial Vatican priests wear Hermes scarves.
Priapus had a bad case of Priapism, and it was a punishment from the gods, though I suspect it had it's up side. The Greeks had no bicycles. If they did, they would have known the stupidity of riding one naked, and especially of using that activity for social change.
@R&B; I can halfway understand your animus for ed, but why so much venom for bagoh20? He's wealthmaker after all.
Oh geez bag with you and the naked bike riding.
There's a rich-man's equivalent: Naked windsurfing. Naked yachting. Naked swinger-clubbing in hot tubs at the high-roller suites at Vegas.
Make your outrage more equal opportunity.
Bag did nothing to make me wealthy and I have no animus for him (he's actually a cool guy). I just let him know the brutally honest truth of why he can only get politicians to convince voters to prioritize his "needs" over theirs for so long.
Rhythm and Balls said...

And Ritmo shows his ignorance of Western art.
Not to mention coming up with a conclusion for which the only basis is his imagination.
And the outrage is all his.
Tell me, doesn't commuting between here and Insta get kind of wearing?
Women are often thought to need different shaped bicycle seats than men do because of pelvic bones or comfort or some such. Truth is that for women, mens' seats taint right.
Well, the Vatican is its own echo of imperial Rome. The emperor became the pope ("pontiff" was a religious duty originally related to bridge oversight), mother goddess Mary had equivalents in the polytheistic pantheon and of course there is the whole emperor-as-god thing that was carried over into the whole "infallability" of a later god's representative on earth. Roman emperors actually were supposed to be worshipped as gods.
And then, you have the gloriously aesthetic Vatican and excesses that seem like outright inspirations of what the Caesars themselves would have demanded.
I'm sure there are many, many others.
The realism of Greek antiquity art is the whole reason it represented a revolution in art, civilization and humanity in the first place. Other than for the mythologies (creation myths) that were common to all cultures, there's no evidence that Greek art was more fabrication or fictive than real - in fact, all the evidence points to it being more reality-based than any other culture's art of the time. That is why it was innovative and why Greek culture (nearly the entire basis of Western civilization) was special. Ed needs to read a book.
Desperately and urgently.
He also needs experiences he can't afford. But those things are wasted on people who will not listen anyway. People like him.
Ed, go ask your local televangelist to explain Greek antiquity to you. I'm done talking to the proudly stupid.
Did the Greeks also use defecation as social justice tool, or is that a product of modern Democrats superior technological advancement. I know that the Mongols used an ancient form of liquor store looting to advance social change, but I don't think it was as advanced or common place as it is among the Democrats constituency today. Discuss.
I've often wondered if the horses and saber-tooth tigers painted by the earliest human artists on the caves at Lascaux were fictional depictions.
Actually, I haven't. But ed might.
Tell us ed, about the fictions in those pictures.
Your life (as you imagine it) is a fiction.
I guess that's why you see fictions in so many places and inject them into the realities you refuse to understand.
I'm sorry for the fact of how you exist. If only it were a fiction!
No ed, seriously I'm sorry. You are being pathetic.
Did the Greeks also use defecation as social justice tool, or is that a product of modern Democrats superior technological advancement.
Unlike ed, I don't claim to be an expert (although I listen to them and know what I know) - however, I do know that the Greek word for that of which you speak ("kakos") was uncontroversial enough to have auxiliary definitions of "bad" and imported into G-rated words surviving to this day: Cacophony, etc.
I'm sorry you don't feel that the topic of feces has been discussed to your satisfaction. Perhaps you can ask Titus to come over and help you figure things out. He also seems to find things of that nature in the oddest of places.
Ritmo just keeps babbling on, doesn't he?
He hopes somewhere in it all is a rebuttal. Mostly, I guess he takes quotes off the Internet and figures they sound smart.
And he always says how he doesn't want to talk to me anymore but keeps right on babbling at me.
Makes you wonder who he talks to when Mom locks him in the padded room in the basement at night.
That you lack the brain to understand why you were wrong doesn't mean you weren't wrong.
Just think of it as another one of your many failures in life.
What other clothing did the Greeks robe themselves in, Eddouche? Overcoats? Scarves? Fur hats?
Fat suits?
Raincoats?
Trenchcoats?
Galoshes?
Were they made of nylon? Polyester?
Did they have zippers?
Avail the commenters with your vast array of knowledge and wisdom, ed.
Even though you are afraid of your own penis (and who wouldn't be), surely you are very sophisticated in your understanding of things 2500 years ago, 5000 miles away. Populated by people you've never meet. That you'll never meet.
But you are the guardian of everything there is to know about their own direct ancestors.
You are ed. You are powerful that way.
Kind of like Don Trump, but without the money. Any of it.
Or anything else, really.
I just think it's interesting that in Ed's wondrous knowledge of Greek anti-nudity, he informs everyone that their style of (mandatory, universal) dress was known as the toga.
Even though "toga" is a Latin word, describing the dress of the elites of a civilization that came after the Greeks.
How did that happen, Eddie?
Even though you are too good for rebuttals, surely you are not too good to explain your asinine reasoning for wrong explanations of everything under the sun.
Soon, you will receive your PhD in bullshitology.
Make sure you remember to include "words" and "explanations" in your dissertation. Insults optional.
