And here - in a thread - is you summed up. As charming as it is to have been labelled an extremist, a Thatcherite and now Satan himself in three easy moves, don't you think you're getting just a tiny bit hysterical? And - in a little leap from there - I shall contribute to the destruction of the world.
You're an idiot and have absolutely no credibility on this forum.0 -

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
I'm sad. Not angry, but sad - very sad.
Yes, you are. Finally we agree on something. :beer:"I can hear you whisperin', children, so I know you're down there. I can feel myself gettin' awful mad. I'm out of patience, children. I'm coming to find you now." - Harry Powell, Night of the Hunter, 1955.0 -

The only credibility you have is restricted to your acolytes. Call me an idiot, but I have exposed you for what you are: a cynical, embittered materialist who reduces every socio-economic argument to mathematical equations about profitability and productivity, forgetting that in any civilised society a government has a duty of care to its citizens. You are pathetic.0 -

If I am then I wonder what you are. Amoeba, I suppose.
It's always amusing when opponents in debates resort to insults - it normally means that they've thrown in the towel and are unable to come up with a coherent response.0 -

LOL, exactly what my 7 year old niece would say in an argument. Once again my point is proven. :rotfl:
Goodbye marklv, I've decided this is my last post to you, it's just too easy and oh so pointless. Get back to work, I'm paying you to play about on MSE via my taxes when you should be working (in your high power, high stress job that only people under 60 can do. :rotfl:)"I can hear you whisperin', children, so I know you're down there.

I totally agree.
Like the person discussed in this post:You ask for an example of professions that exist in both the public and private sectors.
I give some [...] and you reply by calling me stupid, and discount the reply...Conjugating the verb 'to be":
-o I am humble -o You are attention seeking -o She is Nadine Dorries0 -
Hey Paul . . . pull your head in pal. On just this page alone I've had marklv calling me:
* pathetic (perhaps)
* cynical and bitter (far from it)
* materialistic (well, just a touch)
* too extreme for the Conservative Party (that's hardly an insult)
* a Thatcherite (ditto)
* Satan
* a contributor to the end of the world.
But I don't mind. It's kinda funny. And to paraphrase someone very dear to all our hearts: "It's always amusing when opponents in debates resort to insults - it normally means that they've thrown in the towel and are unable to come up with a coherent response."0
