Helpmann is definitely more interesting than Albert Mond, despite getting off to an admittedly shaky start, he has truly come into his own and is a strong contender in Gnet proceedings.

You're only saying that because I beat you at gay genealogy.

If showing that genetically modified fruit flies being bisexual in a rather hazy experiment proves the gay gene in humans, sure, you beat me at gay genealogy.

That's not true though.

It wasn't a "rather hazy" experiment. And neither were the other ones. That's just a phrase people add on to any generally accepted area of science which they refuse to accept.

No, it's a phrase I add on when the bisexuality that the fruit flies exhibited wasn't even ruled out before the genetic alteration, which doesn't even verify that a change occurred.

Even though I think you and I were trying to argue the same point I have to agree with JCC on this one. The fruit fly experiment is interesting and can be used as a basis for further experimentation/research but in and of itself it isn't strong enough to provide anything conclusive

I wont even dignify a moron like yourself with a decent explanation until you've actually read a book or two.

So you know a lot of useless information about genealogy... much like Stuart Houston Chamberlain.

But who the fuck honestly can be bothered to read his pathological drivel without laughing?

A man, who had traveled around the world quite often, returned to his own country.

He was boastful of the many wonderful and heroic feats he had performed in the different places he had visited.

Among other things, he said, "When I was at Rhodes I had leaped to such a distance that no man of my day could leap anywhere near me. There were in Rhodes many persons who saw me do it and whom I could call as witnesses."

One of the bystanders interrupted him, saying: "Now, my good man, if this is true there is no need of witnesses. Suppose this to be Rhodes, and leap for us."

Moral: Let your actions speak for themselves.

At least we can say fuck.

Can't you just say forcibly fuck instead?

Dude, the claim that I'm an idiot is not backed by anything except your loud mouth.
I myself think that you're the idiot, and your constant belittling of anything that remotely disagrees with you backs me up.
Yet I don't mention your stupidity as much as you claim everyone else's.
We could, of course, have an actual conversation instead of you immediately reacting with an insult, and judge our arguments' merits. But of course you won't, because the most 'intellectual' topic you have addressed since you've joined is disagreeing with Obama ad nauseum - how smart and non-conformist!

Good life. Hopefully someday I'll see you in a good argument with actual thought-out opinions.

IF you had read as widely as myself you would have known that I was quoting you one of Aesop's infamous fables.

But being the utter philistine that you are, incapable of irony, you would have probably taken it upon yourself to inform me and everyone else on the forum the fact that I had just "plagarised" a classic and declare boldly to all "he just ripped that from aesop's fables".

But you couldn't. Even if you could declare that I had ripped that from a piece of classical literature; if you had been given the opportunity and background to appreciate such works of literature you wouldn't have been so quick to act like a fumbling retard in search of a petty argument to fight over.

And there's irony in what I just said that you can't even touch upon.

Dismissed till furhter notice.

Sorry I misinterpreted your post as saying that dismissed til further notice was somehow the quote and I was more that a bit confused and now feel like a bit of a twit.


I do, however, find it curious that you haven't really followed the moral of the story itself. You boast and yet do not really back up your claims, and you jab at Jillian instead of actually trying to get any information out of him.

There's no point.

Jillian's simply not educated nor cultured enough to understand my point of view.

This is an internet forum; I don't have the time nor effort to bother explaining everything from the Pre-Socratic to the current day for a moron who thinks he knows something but has merely scanned a few texts suggested to him by like minded losers of like minded mediocrity (in the playground).

He's dismissed till furthter notice.

And until he can actually string together an argument that isn't dependant on his favourite wiki-concept of the week (e.g. objectivity or anything with ad)... I simply will block him out from this point onward.

That in itself is a testimony to the crime that censorship of language imposes on a forum.
I think keeping Sylvia Plath off these forums is a vote in favor of the censorship of the word ****, not against.

You like to beat the shit out of people when they call you a name and pee on people for sexual thrills, please do not call yourself cultured.
