    Your political rhetoric is all about polarizing. Typical right wing talk radio tactic.

    Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

    So my standing up to your bullshit is polarizing? Boo hoo.

      I'm right correct about everything, Tim. Some day you'll appreciate that...

      You'll always be to the right of Atilla, of that I'm sure. Being correct is quite another matter though.

        He would have preferred that to a single fascist federal government.

          He is always politically correct - by his standards. IOt just infuriates him when the rest of us don't do as he does and say as he says and think as he thinks. It challenges him and he doesn't like that.

                I suspect it's more when we don't do as he says. I kind of doubt he really does as he says. That's how it generally works with the ultra authoritarian.

                  Once again, I was correct...[^] "What does it tell us about human evolution that we didn't know? Precious little," said Stonybrook University paleoanthropologist John Fleagle. But the fossil is certainly significant for what it can tell us about early primate evolution, he said.

                  You had one chance out of two of being right, without any expertise on the subject. You were just lucky.

                    How do you know that? I do have a degree in biology after all, including 8 hours of organic chemistry, I read everything that comes along relating to evolution and have since I was an adolescent. I don't know what you base your opinion on.

                      A degree in biology? And you are now a Web Developer? Sorry, I don't think this counts as expertise...
