Inexperienced, very liberal politician files papers to run for President

You are an idiot. Everyone knows that the critique which sifts these faculties one and all, so as to try the possible claims of each of the other faculties to a share in the clear possession of knowledge from roots of its own, retains nothing but what understanding prescribes a priori as a law for nature as the complex of phenomena-the form of these being similarly furnished a priori. All other pure concepts it relegates to the rank of ideas, which for our faculty of theoretical cognition are transcendent; though they are not without their use nor redundant, but discharge certain functions as regulative principles.

 

Well, I was not complaining or saying Mr. Rocker needed a new nick...just illustrating that I am dumb and get confused easily. I was ready to yell at basso for trying to bring me into this.

At least calling rimrocker "rimmy" is more phonetically correct than it is for me. It just stuck for me earlier.

You know, I recently read somehting (can't remember what or by whom) that was talking about how people need to admit that Blade Runner actually sucked..that it was some odd cultural phenomenon that is causing everyone to think they are supposed to like it. kind of true for me. I saw it young, forgot about it, then re-saw the director's cut and didn't really see what the big deal was.

 

Awesome.

 

Thats "Mr. rocker."

And for the record, I have been confused at times by references to Mr. baud.

 

i can't understand what you're trying to say here.

 

Hey, aren't you that plagiarist?

 

I think we have another BBS buzz phrase.

 

God your America hating is tedious. You see, I divide men into three categories: those who have a lot of money, those who have none at all and those who have a little. The first want to keep what they have: their interest is to maintain order; the second want to take what they do not have: their interest is to destroy the existing order and to establish one which is profitable to them. They each are realist, people with whom one can agree. The third group want to overthrow the social order to take what they do not have, while still preserving it so that no one takes away what they have. Thus, they preserve in fact what they destroy in theory, or they destroy in fact what they seem to preserve. Those are the idealists.

 

Not that it probably matters, but I was in my 30's when it came out, and a huge science fiction fan. It resonated with me in a way most movies do not, and it resonates still. Not everyone "gets it" the same way, and I wouldn't expect that they would. For me, it was easy to submerge myself in the milieu Ridley Scott created. The way it was filmed, which has been copied, but not equaled (in my opinion), many, many times, the soundtrack by Vangelis, which blows me away. The flick just does it for me. Like any movie, I wouldn't expect everyone to like it. Some people don't like Lawrence of Arabia, another film I really love, Touch of Evil, or Pulp Fiction. Or Blowup, which is yet to be released in the original theatrical version I saw in the theatre, a real shame. The Shawshank Redemption is the favorite film of many people I've talked to, but I didn't care for it at all. Our tastes are our own.

I should mention that there is supposed to be a definitive "director's cut" eventually. What is out now that is being called one isn't what Scott wanted. Personally, I liked the original theatrical version, and the later one, equally. I hope the definitive version, if it ever comes out, will be even more satisfying. I'll have to wait and see.



D&D. Watch Out for Androids.

 

Great movie. I actually tried reading "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom" once.

 

so says the serial sentiment echoer.

i just went back and reread my "original" post, and the hotair post, and aside from one paragraph, i don't see any material difference from your "echoing" of kos, and what i wrote. and i've already said i should have provided a link. everything else is a distillation of my own thoughts. true, some of it may have been expressed in the hot-air article, and i liked the list of "mistakes", but it's also been expressed many other places, including here, by me, many times before.

i don't particularly mind being called out, and i've already said, twice, i should've provided a link. but being called out by you, mark, and a few others here is particularly rich.

 

I agree with all of the above.

 

You are blinded by your destructive rage. I have tried my best to explain things to you and yet you will not put any effort into actively engaging me. You are a coward. I have always said that each man kills the thing he loves, By each let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word. The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword!

Puckier up, b****.

 

Are you actually denying that you consciously took that paragraph and changed a few words to make it look like your own work? You provide a link when you quote someone verbatim. Now you are trying pretend that this was all a simple mistake. Your intellectual dishonesty is staggering.

 

LOL. You're comparing the echoing of sentiments to passing off someone else's writing as your own?

Sorry, dude. Your usual "oh yeah? well, he does it too and WORSE!" tactic won't fly here. You're the only poster in this forum that's been flat busted for plagiarism. Even more than usual, you deserve the ridicule.

And to suggest that including a link to a paste job where you inserted your own language would have been a logical remedy is especially funny. Would you have said "Here's a link to someone else's writing inserted into my own sentiment echoing essay with my own additions undistinguished from his so that I might appear more articulate than I am?"

I know, I know. "Get the **** over myself."

You're a plagiarist, you got busted and you're acting like you didn't do a thing wrong. Maybe not in your world, but expect to have everything you post here from now on dismissed as possibly being someone else's writing you're passing off as your own.

 

I'm too lazy to go backwards so I have no idea what this is referencing. But even beyond that, what does this mean? I know those are words and I understand all of them, but together they form some amorphous blob. So unless this is part of some subtle mind trick, I'm really confused.

Either that or I too am an idiot.

 

You must understand rimmy fancy's himself is a bit of an artiest and favors Dadaism as a way to express himself.

 

As long as I'm echoing:

Hey, aren't you that plagiarist?1

For the last time, I didn't echo Kos... go back and read my whole post.

Also, saying "aside from one paragraph" is like saying "Aside from the shooting, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln?"2

2 The Lincoln play joke is an old one in America and is typically used to point out the absurdity of statements such as that made by basso in the above post. It's origins are not easily referenced via Google. The joke did not originate within the mind of rimrocker.

 

If Obama brings em' to the polls like he brings em' to this thread...

I have no idea what you two are talking about.
