Thanks for the facts and figures,as I said,NOBODY watches John Stewart.

It would maybe be interesting to note that recently I attended a social gathering at my private lake and a "new" resident said she was at a gathering the nite before and that "everyone" waz there. I asked whom "everyone" wuz.....an she replied "everyone"....an I says nope....I wern't there.

Sudsy? Care to expound?

No,I do not care to expound anything, but I will explain.

A quick look at your profile revealed the interesting fact that of your 508 posts,471 of them were in the soap box hence the "Sudsy" reference.

You really ought to come out of there every now and then and get a breath of fresh air.:p

Let me ask DD, why would you resort to such childish behavior on a thread that you obviously have no interest in? You watched that interview, didn't you?


And after checking your profile,I had the opportunity to read many of your blatherings...err I mean posts and this phrase "childish" and "childish behavior" appears to be a mainstay in quite a few of them. Maybe it is time to give that one a rest and come up with something else

And again no I did not watch the interview,because as I said before I cannot stand John Stewart.

You can't tork me off ..... you just ain't go the juice. Not that you ever have.
He may not .... yet ..... (he just needs a little more polishing .... :D)

But I'll guarantee you that I can (and have, on numerous occasions) .......... if I so choose ....

You always know it's game over when ya get the "This is a waste of time ....." etc., etc. ...... and then a bail ...... ;)

Well thank you,glad I got your interest.
Starving for attention or something ?

And BTW,if you want to catch my interest ...
Sorry ..... really no interest there ......

You know what I mean,instead of throwing something out there from the pew research center,why not say try the whole dam* church instead....it just sounds more impressive.
Just reporting the actual facts (on viewership numbers) ..... (as opposed to spouting some vague generality .....)

Well, this confirms my paranoid belief that I'm a NOBODY. I try to catch the Daily Show every night. If not at 11:00 pm, then the next day, on the internet machine.

I also believe in trying to watch shows that offer a differing opinion; not just what supports "my side".

No,and especially not yours.

Then why do you keep posting?

I went to the pew research site,and was not impressed,I am quite sure that they could manipulate those little charts and graphs any way they would like,depending on how it best serves their interests.

Sorry to hear this, which way do you wear your hat? And is your underwear exposed when you are out in public?

Heheheheh ... well, there's certainly something to be said for Mark Twain's commentary on statistics:

"Figures often beguile me," he wrote, "particularly when I have the arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force: 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, dam(n)ed lies, and statistics.'"

Of course, the alternative would be just not bothering to make any effort whatsoever to count, quantify, or otherwise measure any subject or matter of interest ..... and just simply make something up and then say that ...

If that works for you, then: hey, great ! ... glad you warned us ...

Some folks have so much invested that the possibility that they might be mistaken, incorrect, or the absolute worst - utterly wrong - is an idea which is absolutely abhorrent on it's face .... and so they are less inclined to look .....

Of course, such a stance by it's own nature, inherently and immediately, deprives the individual of the virtues of observation.

A case can be made for anything I suppose ...... but I gotta think that making a case that by being less observant, less aware, less informed one is somehow better off ... would be a fairly difficult "row to hoe" so to speak ....

Ignorance is bliss. :D


From the Thomas Gray poem: Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College (1742)

To each his sufferings: all are men,
Condemned alike to groan,
The tender for another's pain;
The unfeeling for his own.
Yet ah! why should they know their fate?
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise.

Are you trying to say that I posted something that you don't understand.....I think not.

That's why one would ask a question, such as the one I posed to you. Here, let's try it again. Why do you keep calling me an "academic elite"? <<< notice the question mark
