My liberal utopia will celebrate knowledge, and as such, will not have people like you in it. Now go away . Do you have any idea how stupid you're making yourself look ?

I thought he was seeing pink elephants. Don't look now, but I see one now, trying hide behind the shoe stand.

One should never turn a blind eye in the first place; it's always a recipe for a disaster at some level. edit; Still, I'm interested in which specific straw was last for you? And, on the presumption that it's politics you're talking about, does this mean that you're no longer going to automatically assume that I'm wrong and/or stupid in what I say? That would be an interesting and welcome development.

I know from reading a lot of US history that the two parties are represented as an elephant and a donkey an ass. Which is pretty funny.

edit: I *think* that the elephant was originally intended as a dig at the GOP. As elephants are said to "never forget," so too the Republicans were being faulted for "never forgeting" the Civil War and the Democrats' complicity in it. And, as for the Democrats' symbol ... well, asses are said never to learn. Funny, indeed.

I thought it was an ass, but I decided if I got it wrong in THAT direction, people would take offense. Thanks for the history lesson, I admit to having had no idea where they came from.

:laugh: 'Donkey' is just a Miss Grundyism for 'ass,' just as 'rooster' is for 'cõck.'

Isn't an ass half donkey, half horse ? Oh, that's a mule. There you go.

I think he has skimmed 1984. He appears to have misremembered "Newspeak" as "double speak" and "Ignorance is Strength" as "ignorance is bliss".

He is a pro-Israel hardliner, so presumably this is in reference to Obama's speech.

Don't be so hard on yourself. And when talking to oneself, there's really no need to bother the rest of us with it.
