I refuse to waste my "beautiful mind" debating---
whether global climate change is acutally occurring;
whether W's IQ ever exceeded room temperature;
whether Cheney actually controlled the White House for 8 years;
whether waterboarding is torture;
whether most of the Bush insiders are war criminals under any meaningful definition;
whether one chooses to be attracted to the same or opposite sex.

People who say these "issues" are worthy of serious discussion are either idiots or liars and I simply don't have time for them.

12. "whether one chooses to be attracted to the same or opposite sex."
I don't think anyone really believes that.

3. You forgot this one:
Whether Pelosi's comments about the CIA are worth discussing.

That's an excellent list you compiled.

Now, about Farrah Fawcett and that scumbag Ryan O'Neal ........................

8. Well, I guess I should be thinking about how to make myself better understood.
From your post, I'm afraid I should have found some way to indicate "tongue in cheek" or something to that effect. I did not at all mean to come off as haughty. My intent was to comment on some subjects that seem to be cause for endless discussion by pundits when, in my opinion, there's nothing about which rational people could disagree.

The "beautiful mind" reference was to Barbara Bush's comment about the plight of Katrina survivors.

The "room temperature IQ" remark was an attempt at humor.

OK?

9. Oh, I get your references
I just didn't get your central point.

And as a person from Canada, where we have substantive debates every day, I get your point.

These past few days must have seemed like a Kafka story, only without the relevance.

10. Kafka?
In my community, those few who have read "In the Penal Colony" believe it simply depicts "the way things should be".

14. What would you waste your mind on?
I'm sure there many other worthy issues, although they may not be as important to other folks as they are to you.

17. are you so incapable of argument that you must post the same copy and pasted points
throughout different threads? I feel sorry for you, honestly I do.
