As usual, you seem to ignore the facts and think that in this case (and all others) the left is the hero in this story and the right is the villian... When in reality, they were both pretty evenly supportive of the bill...

The story, as presented in the article, seems pretty straight forward to me.

Also, you apparently don't know the history with 'ol Corny. He likes to make wild statements then wen called on them, refuses to acknowledge that he was wrong-EVER. It doesn't matter how wrong he is, he will NEVER admit it....EVER. EVER EVER EVER. No, but I am familiar with threads getting derailed (and admittedly, I've derailed a few myself) - and it seems like 2 or three people here are desperately trying to derail it with some vague nit-picking about the Tea Party.

I really appreciate that someone finally decided to agree with me because I am at a total loss as to countering people calling me on my bullshit.....

Made it a little more accurate.

Your bullshit may help you sleep at night and I imagine it gets very tiring to have your bullshit constantly spotlighted on the MTF but nevertheless, bullshit is bullshit and if calling it such is nit picking then I am the biggest nit picker you will ever meet.

By the way, by "TJMAC and friends" I assume you mean everyone who has ever posted something in response to your posts EXCEPT Joe B (and in truth you happened to post something that fits his agenda so don't get too happy about that).

Yes it did.

......... some vague nit-picking about the Tea Party.

Two more things we agree with.........wow.

It seems that New York State is borrowing a page from President Obama’s playbook, and apparently the Tea Party made little or no headway there affecting this Tax Overhaul.

The only one erroneously bringing up the Tea Party was the OP.

[Edisesyethisp]

I really appreciate that someone finally decided to discuss the real issue rather than find a Nit to pick and focus only on that nit.

TJMAC and friends just love to pick nits – it is their life-long passion – and they refuse to let a day go by without finding another Nit to pick. They also love to waste time here arguing with the author of their new Nit, expecting that the author of the Nit will eventually grow tired of the argument, and change his view to match theirs just to get them to shut up. When I eventually grow tired of the argument, I just let them go on arguing without any response. Hence the “Cricket” sound posting they put up.

As to your response about the original posting, I agree with you exactly. Have a great day.

Nitpicking?


Here's the deal: at best, you sometimes post some inaccurate stuff. No problem, all of us make mistakes. At worst, you outright lie. And the problem you have is that there are people here that will correct your inaccuracies and call you out on your lies. Now, there are two ways you can deal with this situation. The first is to stop lying and to own up to your mistakes when they are pointed out to you. This could be considered the "adult option". The second way is to continue never admitting to making a mistake, and when called out on your mistakes/lies obfuscate, deflect, cry persecution, feign righteous indignation, outright ignore when your errors are pointed out, and all the other tricks you've employed to try and convince yourself and neutral observers that you are right and the people calling you out are the bad guys. This is the "childish option".

In your almost two years on this forum you have consistently shown that you simply will not go the adult route. Because of this, you have zero credibility on this forum. If you posted that the sun rose this morning most people would go to the window to verify.

It's up to you how you want to be perceived here...

That's not a cricket, it's a locust. I know because I spent 15 years as a cricketologist employed in Norway by the University of Helsinki. The word "locust" is derived from the Vulgar Latin locusta, which was originally used to refer to various types of crustaceans and insects; English "lobster" is derived from Anglo-Saxon loppestre, which may come from Latin locusta. Spanish has mostly preserved the original Latin usage, since the cognate term langosta can be used to refer both to a variety of lobster-like crustaceans and to the swarming grasshopper, while semantic confusion is avoided by employing qualifiers such as de la tierra (of the land) when referring to grasshoppers, del mar and del rio (of the sea/of the river) when referring to lobsters and crayfish respectively. French presents an inverse case; during the 16th century, the word sauterelle (literally "little hopper") could mean either grasshopper or lobster (sauterelle de mer). In contemporary French usage, langouste is used almost exclusively to refer to the crustacean (two insect exceptions being the langouste de désert and the langouste de Provence). In certain regional varieties of English, "locust" can refer to the large swarming grasshopper, the cicada (which may also swarm), and rarely to the praying mantis ("praying locust"). The use of "locust" in English as a synonym for "lobster" has no grounding in anglophone tradition, and most modern instances of its use are usually calques of foreign expressions (e.g. "sea locust" as mistranslation of langouste de mer). There are, however, various species of crustaceans whose regional names include the word "locust." Thenus orientalis, for example, is sometimes referred to as the flathead locust lobster (its French name, Cigale raquette, literally "raquet cicada," is yet another instance of the locust-cicada-lobster nomenclatural connection). Similarly, certain types of amphibians and birds are sometimes called "false locusts" in imitation of the Greek pseud(o)acris, a scientific name sometimes given to a species because of its perceived cricket-like chirping. Often, the linguistic nondifferentiation of animals not only regarded by science as different species, but that also often exist in radically different environments, is the result of culturally perceived similarities between organisms, as well as of abstract associations formed within a particular group's mythology and folklore (see Cicada mythology). On a linguistic level, these cases also exemplify an extensively documented tendency, in many languages, towards conservatism and economy in neologization, with some languages historically only allowing for the expansion of meaning within already existing word-forms. Also of note is the fact that all three so-called locusts (the grasshopper, the cicada, and the lobster) have been a traditional source of food for various peoples around the world (see entomophagy).

Bam, you've just been Corny'd.

Are you frapping serious ?!?!?! Are you completely incapable of creating a frapping original thought in the frapping organ you call a brain.

Not only are you incapable of creating your own humor you didn’t even GET the frapping humor to begin with

I certainly "got" the humor, but chose to reply in my own fashion. If you didn't get that, then tough noogies. From now on, when you reply to one of my posts with your off the wall "humor", or a "flame", or attempt to derail, I will just send the Cricket sound effect as my way of reminding you to "tell it to the Crickets"!

And every time you do so your credibility will swirl even farther down the toilet.


Corny: The moon is made of cheese.
TJ: Uh, the moon clearly is NOT made of cheese.
Corny:

Yeah, that'll really show everyone how right you are. Great plan! Although, I suppose it's better than how you've been responding up to now:
