Why wasn't Playwrite paying attention?

PW then goes on:

-No... I used it because it was a recent example of my "out of context" parsing, which shows that it was in context. I frequently do it with PW because he and his buddies constantly contradict themselves and each other, and it's useful to remind them of that fact.

And finally...

-I like to read. Sue me.

Uh, "flicking the lights"?

Originally Posted by playwrite

-As I pointed out above, it's neccessary to point out where PW and his buddies contradict themselves and each other. It's not very difficult, though. Excellence is making the difficult look easy.

-Hmmm... I'm not the one who's so lonely and ashamed of himself that he feels the need to sit in what he claims to be a Manhattan penthouse and medicate himself with alcohol and recreational pharmaceuticals; that's the self-proclaimed lifestyle of the Convieniently Anonymous Playwrite, which is probably why he missed my post #208.

Stay alert, stay alive.

Which reminds me, here's another "out of context parse":

-Just based on the tone, I'd say that PW does give a flying F about what I suspect he did or didn't do. Throw in the constant attempts at nastiness towards a thrifty military retiree, and I'd say it's solid. Perhaps if Playwrite had done something with his life of which he could be proud, he wouldn't be in his fix. Oh well. Probably too late.

However, I must give him points for not actually using the "F" word. His language has gotten cleaner these past months. It's nice to see some growth...

How does this posting:

...Playwrite must have been so under the influence when he typed this, that he didn't even realize what was oozing out of his sub-conscious and into the public domain.

Why would it be subconscious when you have made it so obvious here -

See, you can put two and a half sentences (almost three!) together without parsing. Great job, Jimmie, it's a good start!

One last parse from me, out of concern for your welfare - be careful about posting this -

Playwrite is whining about my "parsing" again. Again, I use his out-takes to remind him of his inconsistencies, and to call him to accout for his hypocrisy.

For example:

...here, Playwrite showed his "concern" for those who presently get $1000/month from the ponzi scheme. So when I pointed out that by 2051 (at the latest, by his own figures), many 1981-cohort retirees (who retire in 2048) will be far worse off:

Worker #3
Benefits from SS Ponzi Scheme: $1567/month x .8 = $1253.60/month

http://www.ssa.gov/retire2/AnypiaApplet.html

...instead of responding to that point, he created a silly End Of The World scenario:

Retiree #1 is killed at the age of 25 while leading a food riot.

Retiree #2 - Under Jimboy Snake Oil - After several years of trillions of SS dollars poured into oil leases and drilling equipment, oil must sale at $2000 a barrel to give investors an ROI of 0.001% of the current inflation rate which is pegged at 10,000%. The entire market collapses overnight and no gas is delivered for the next two years. Retiree #2 is lynched by an angry mob when caught siphoning gas; the crowd laughs at his excuse that he was trying to get his elderly mother to the hospital; everyone knows that no hospitals have been in operation for months...

...resulting in my assault and what seems to be some sort of sexual predatory kidnapping:

Jimboy's military pension was terminated because the US could only afford a very small military of "wolves" between ages 15 to 17. Needless to say, Jimboy lost all his money "investing" in the tulip frenzy - just one of thousands of asset inflation busts that have wiped out most Americans. Rather than kill Jimboy, Retiree #3 falls instantly in love with Jimboy and after getting married (it should be noted that nationwide, in hopes of further quickening the massive decreases in population, only same sex marriages are being allowed), they eek out a living serving as live ammo targets for the local military base - fortunately for them, they beat out thousands who applied for the rare job because they were the best at bleating like sheep - (yea, human life has gotten that cheap under Jimboy's snake oil scheme).

...well, avoiding homsexual rape is the best reason PW has given me for supporting the SS Ponzi Scheme so far...

...I'd stop "parsing" PW's comments, if he'd stop making comments that were contradictory, hypocritical, and deranged.

PW's real problem isn't that I take him out of context (I don't), but that I keep putting him in context.

The only thing deserving of a response here is in regard to your scare tactic of "will be far worse off" and only for the kids that might lay awake worrying about what will happen in 3-5 decades from now.
I think this response from a fairly level-headed poster says it best -
http://www.fourthturning.com/forum/s...postcount=4331

As for the rest, it’s obvious that I've touch a humorless nerve that might be hidden even from yourself. Perhaps you might consider getting some help.

Don't we have a Flame War thread for this sort of discussion? Can these posts be moved there?

Or at least move this discussion to a Social Security forum?

-Tsk, tsk. I have a sense of humor; it's just that for some reason Playwrite doesn't appreciate it. Playwrite himself admits that I certainly touch his nerve:

-He sure loves to call me Jimboy! (I wonder which not-so-clever point he's trying to make...)

As for level-headed observers, Playwrite means David Krein. I've already pointed out some Mr. Krein's hypocritical inconsistencies, but Mr. Krein (a Silent) seems to have taken it stride. I certainly don't expect to see him fantasize about the fates I supposedly deserve...

Good suggestions. I decided to bail-out after the discussion got circular, but I have to take some of the blame as an active contributor earlier.

Originally Posted by The Grey Badger

I confess, I find these kind of typical 'Please move the discussion to the proper thread' requests more than just annoying. They tend to reveal everything I find utterly disappointing about liberals. And that is, you really can't debate a liberal because liberals merely feel things. Liberals don't think about anything, save through the filter of their feelings.

There is no intellectual debate to be had with liberals. Ultimately there is only name calling, with liberals seeking to express their highest lofty moralistic rhetoric (even while they claim that their obvious hypocrisy only stands to buttress their positions) while maintaining their supposed "openness."

The Grey Badger, thus, is quite correct to suggest we move the discussion elsewhere. The appropriate place, however, is not another thread, but, rather, we move them to nowhere.

For someone who found no fault with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al, and argued the rightness of their policies, you stand on wobbly legs. This may be the first administration in history that accomplished nothing of a constructive nature ... nothing. TO the contrary, the detritus left for those coming behind is so bad that even loyalists like T. Boone Pickens are now calling them misguided if not outright fools.

Of course you pushed all the emotional buttons in support of these scoundrels, but now it's the liberals that lack intellectual gravitas.

-Both Senators McCain & Obama have made the SS Ponzi Scheme an issue of debate in the election, the Election 2008 thread is the obvious place to discuss it. However, that thread was Wonkette's original creation, so she's certainly entitled to ask the question.

I moved the issue of PW's deranged comments here, because that's where we've been discussing such things regarding Pink Splice and others (I beieve your name may have come up, Zilch).

I've found Grey Badger and M&L to be civil, and I've previously declared Wonkette "Most Rigorously Polite Poster on the 4TF".

As for Playwrite... I check a thread called "Flame War", where Playwrite posted this:

My loudly voiced objections to many Bush policies are well-documented at this forum. Just to name one, no conservative I know approved of the Bush Medicare Drug Act, the largest liberal entitlement give-away program since LBJ's Great Society forty years ago. I certainly didn't, and I said so. What? You disapproved, too?

Like I said, there is no intellectual debate to be had with liberals. None. Zip, zero, zilch.

Maybe PW can tell us about his 185th SEAL mission back in "THE NAM", when he rescued LCDR McCain from the Hanoi Hilton, but then had to take him back in order to avoid revealing to the North VietNamese that we'd breached their security. At least that would explain why JMcC seems so bitter all the time...

Whatever.

On the 23rd, I had just posted something on Wonkette's 2008 Election thread:

Anyway, Wonkette later explained @11:51PM on the 24th:

...not because I want it deleted, but to inform everyone else on the 4TF what a creep PW is, in case they haven't figured it out for themselves.

As yet another reminder of PW's abusive behavior, and asan explanation of how my "parsing" is both fair and neccessary, I'll put this in the Generational Theory Forum thread...

Dear Mr. Chelsog,

I discovered that the following was deleted on your orders:

This was targeted at me. I personally found the comment odd at the time (and somewhat lacking in patriotism), but I only brought it up in this thread to show that some of Pink Splice's other posts, which were undeniably tasteless, were not isolated incidents. It was not my intention to censor anyone, and this could have the effect of "disappearing the record"; it's more illustrative to leave it up.

-Probable hypocrisy.

I also find the sudden syrupy wheddling suspicious; he didn't even include a url with the word "toilet" in it.

My rules:

If someone doesn't want me on their thread, fair enough. Technically, this entitlement goes only to Mr. Neil Howe and his Shire Reeve (the webmaster), but in this case, I'll recognize "Squatters' Rights" as well.

As for everyone else: "Ignore" is for cowards; if you think a post is too long, boring, unenlightening, or a combination of all three, then learn how to use your "Scroll" function.

BTW, I thought the word "admiration" was a bit much, but then he's probably being sarcastic, or perhaps he simply doesn't understand what it really means.

Unfortunately for Playwrite, he knows that what I do, i.e. comaparing his inconsistent statements and hypocrisies with each other, constitutes a valid criticism of his arguments and logical process. Meanwhile, plenty of the stuff which he has posted could get his posts removed. Now, I would never ask the webmaster to do such a thing; if it happened, I would keep copies of what PW has posted, as a documentation of what a liar, coward and creep he is, as a warning to others.
