Whenever I post something intelligent or insightful it goes over people’s heads and they write shallow posts contradicting me without addressing the points I bring up. I don’t try to be offensive (unlike some people).
oh dalek tek, no one argues your right to speak, it is your overt and implied arrogance that ruffles feathers…[b]”obligation to share your wisdom”[/b] why are you so sure of your wisdom? teachers and family have told you you are “special” perhaps? i am pretty sure that most of the people here were “special”, so what, college will knock that conceit right out of you, you will be surrounded by “special” children, many of whom will do better than you, and be more succesful than you, whatever that means…again, so what…if you learn that that no matter how much you know there is so much more that you don’t know then you will be on the road to being wise…and perhaps humble…maybe even willing to learn from others and keep an open mind…as far as posting something [b] “intelligent and insightful”[/b],the shallow replies you complain of would appear to be shallow by virtue of the fact that they disagree with your viewpoints, or they correct your information…you may be a patriot, whatever that means, but your knowledge is more stamp collecting than insightful;you have a lot of factoids rolling around in your head but you do not really seem to get beyond very concrete thinking, like actually trying to abstract some sort of universal meaning from your little collection …and if you do not realize how snide and offensive your remarks are,[b] “unlike some people”[/b] you will continue to be abused not because of what you say, but how you say it…i like to hear what you say, but i do not appreciate your condescension…now how about easing up a little? why don’t you explain why you approve of censorship and under what circumstances without posting as if you are angry, and while you are at it, tell us who you think should make decisions for us and why…later fx
