However, the words between quotation marks in your comment are not mine, so whose words are you quoting and what does that have to do with what I said?<br /><br />More importantly, since you mention "Objective analysis", please read my comments first: I questioned the poster when he said that the xkcd guy "invents a category of people and then tells everyone he's so much better than them". How is that (what he said) objective, or an analysis? His only answer to my question was calling his previous words a "literal description", which they are not.<br /><br />Look at the following quotes from the previous and next post in this blog (just taking the closest examples):<br /><br />'Randy spent some time reading about hurricane naming on Wikipedia. Being the sort of person who probably thinks of himself as a "hacker" because he knows what a programming language is, when Randy is presented with a new system, he tries to find the flaws in it, with all the grace and finesse of a three year old pouring his own milk. "WHAT IF THERE'S SO MANY HURRICANES THEY RUN OUT OF THE SECOND LIST" he found himself screaming at the monitor.'<br /><br />Or:<br /><br />'This comic is so incredibly boring I'm not even going to comment on it <br />(...)<br />It looks as if Randy has spent a great deal of time to make these cars, no doubt working from a photo he himself took. And yet there is something fundamentally off about them. They look acceptable, sure, but it is immediately apparent even at a glance that this is not the work of a talented artist; this is the work of a man who, given ample time, is capable of making something which looks acceptable.'<br /><br />Do you seriously call that an "Objective analysis"? Please explain why... also, please use a name, whichever, just so I know who I'm talking with.<br /><br />Thank you.SGirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-9933909868647553722011-09-05T01:08:30.274-07:002011-09-05T01:08:30.274-07:00Does Randall not understand investing?

I mean, if you DON'T think that liberal is good, why be a liberal at all? It seems like a normal viewpoint to me."<br /><br />I refer to people who think that the connection is automatic (ie, that anything which is liberal is automatically and without question a good thing, not that the general position of liberalism is good). It's not at all a normal or healthy viewpoint to assume that anything which falls under the school of thought to which you subscribe is automatically a good thing, and even less so to assume that anything your opponents believe is automatically a bad thing.<br /><br />Of course, worse than both of these is the assumption that anything which is good is automatically liberal and that anything which is bad is automatically conservative.rshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15828938843801425383noreply@blogger.com
