I thought that “yourbutt” (whoever would wish to call himself that way) was trying to be ironc. Maybe I’m mistaken…

yourbutt,

Is “pure” a justification for racism ? If not, how do you keep the Korean race “pure” ?

Define “pure”.

Or “strong”, for that matter.

We Koreans are more patriotic (read naitonalistic) than the Yanks because welove are people, one people, one strong, pure, proud Korean people^^ Thanks.

#51 - Nor will he think that American nationalism did it, yet that’s what you blamed above.

Nor have I ever advocated “American exceptionalism.” Now you’re just putting words into my mouth. More bad debating, not to mention bad manners—but par for the course from you.

You’re pretty impressed with yourself, Rocco, but I can just about guarantee that you’re the only one.

Oh, and #50 - It’s “mote” in your eye.

“In the former, an abstract idea is held supreme; in the latter, it’s 우리 나라 uber alles.”

–Ut Videam.

For a guy spouting nonsense on a blog, American exceptionalism is certainly abstract.

For a kid in Baghdad…, well, let’s just say that he won’t go to bed at night thinking “‘Democracy’ occupied my country and dropped bombs on my friends.”

“As has been pointed out so many times, it is a fallacy because it redounds neither to the truth or falsity of disputed facts, nor to the validity of an argument”

–Ut Videam

Yawn. But it does “redound” as to whether the speaker is worth listening to. Remove the moat in your own eye and all that. Ut Videam, my friend, We simply don’t have time or energy to listen to people who spew nonsense. You and your buddies shoud have the humility to clean your own houses before you tell someone else to clean his.

Let me spell this out to you in simple words: get a sense of humor.

You said…

“I operate by the standard definitions of “cogent” and “sophistry””

But, a few minutes before you spoke of covering yourself in bees and jumping on the Canadian flag, which would contradict that statement if it were to be taken literally–which I wasn’t since it was a joke.

“I’m wasting my US EST lunch hour dealing with your foolishness”

Did you forget to turn your clock ahead back in March?

What the hell are you talking about, someguy? I’m sure you are missing the point (again), but missing it by such a wide margin that I can’t for the life of me figure out what point you are missing. (And for the record, will ALL due respect, since you apparently don’t get out much in Korea, you’re posting at/past bedtime in Asia; I’m wasting my US EST lunch hour dealing with your foolishness.)
