  • I knew it! Everything is Bush's fault! Why did he have to discover America in the first place! Dang it.

  • In case you missed it, a recap: Bush is to blame for the massive foreign debt which has existed since before he became President.

    Of course Bush is guilty for the massive foreign debt. Who else would you blame? Dag Hammarskjöld? Winston Churchill? Fidel Castro? Pierre Trudeau?

    Actually, Winston did some pretty indefensible things in his day, like burning all records of Station X before leaving office. But he had nothing to do with the US foreign debt.

    Out of the five people listed here, Bus

  • I apparently did miss it. In fact, I did not even see the word "Bush" in "it". Is the word Bush there in TorgoX's post? Or might TorgoX be concerned about the balance of payments and profligate spending by the US?

    You tell me. Or maybe TorgoX sneakily changed his posting. Maybe I need to check the Google cache.

    Help me here, maybe I missed it.

    And I even looked at the links TorgoX cited, rather than just looking at what he wrote and what he quoted. Mr. Buffett did not appear to use the word "Bush" eit
    • Is it possible that you are putting words into his post that are not there?

      Not only is it possible, it is common [perl.org].

      Might you be a little oversensitive about something?

      You can tell if he yawns or claims you are boring [perl.org] him. (Something that can be done by simply presenting facts)

      And, if you aren't careful, he'll start resorting to personal attacks [perl.org].
      • Not only is it possible, it is common.

        If one is to believe you, yes. But why would anyone do that?

        And, if you aren't careful, he'll start resorting to personal attacks.

        Only if he does first, as happens with you.
        • If one is to believe you, yes. But why would anyone do that?

          I don't expect him to, that is why I provided links. He can determine the facts for himself.

          That is the big difference between you and I.

          I'm willing to provide a basis for my opinion. You make sweeping statements and denigrate those who believe different than you. (Aparently, explaining yourself is more than anyone deserves.) The more the facts differ from your opinion, the more childish your responses become.

          It is no wonder you like the Bush
          • That is the big difference between you and I. I'm willing to provide a basis for my opinion.

            By implying I am not, you -- once again -- lie. I am not willing to provide a basis for my opinion *to you.*

            You make sweeping statements

            So do you. *shrug*

            and denigrate those who believe different than you.

            Only by mere coincidence. I never denigrate someone because they believe differently than I do. I denigrate you because you're a jerk, and I respond in kind.

            The article you complained about in your
            • I am not willing to provide a basis for my opinion *to you.*

              So when and why did I start getting such special treatment?

              I just reviewed [google.com] all of our interactions that I could find.

              Everything I could find prior to this calendar year looks fine.

              This calendar year started with this [perl.org], and it has been down hill since.

              In the one thread you managed to call me a liar, then you lied yourself by saying you would never respond to me again. Which you have done repeatedly.

              To me, that seems to be the point that things
              • This calendar year started with this, and it has been down hill since.

                Yes, one of your many posts full of lies.

                And you think this makes you look *good*?
      • Thanks for your comments and links, phillup. But in all the excitement of you and pudge going to the races, pudge might have forgotten to comment on my original post.

        I don't post too often. I guess it makes each one seem precious. Maybe not precious, but thoughtful. Well, maybe not thoughtful, but rare.

        pudge sure is a damn good perl dude. I wonder if a damn good perl dude could put up a meta-page of when torgox mentions pudge, and when pudge mentions torgox. I tried googling:

        +torgox +pudge site:per
        • How many left-wing racists can I name?

          Help me out here... anyone?

          I can name a bunch. Start with some of the communist leaders of past and present, in the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, Cuba. Che Guevara is a good example.
          • Oh Lord, pudge. I really don't have time for this. But I am only human, so just this once on this thread I will let you draw me in to a response with a turn-around time of less than 8 hours. (how you manage to keep on top of this, I have no idea!)

            Thanks for your response to my request for a citation of a left-wing racist. You chose to cite Che Guevara of the many left-wing racists you claim to be aware of. Leaving aside the issue of whether we can agree that all leaders of communist countries are actu
            • Leaving aside the issue of whether we can agree that all leaders of communist countries are actually leftists

              If they are communists, by definition, yes, they are, unless you have some new definition of "leftist" that I've never heard of.

              "Thirty-five years after his death, Che lives on in the minds of young people struggling and fighting against the same inequalities that he dedicated his life to getting rid of - poverty, racism, and ultimately capitalism and imperialism."

              And that's bullshit. Guevara
        • pudge sure is a damn good perl dude.

          No arguments there.

          I actually used his book [ptf.com] on MacPerl for a while to teach Perl. Like many things "Mac", it was much easier than on other systems. Part of that was because of the very nicely done book.

          I wonder if a damn good perl dude could put up a meta-page of when torgox mentions pudge, and when pudge mentions torgox.

          I was thinking of something similar when trying to look back and figure out what the hell set him off about me... different characters of course.
          • Well, it looks to me that my work here is done. Mr. Nandor might disagree, but here is what I believe I have accomplished in four posts.

            I provided Mr. Nandor with an opportunity to realize that torgox had said nothing about Bush in the cited post. DONE.

            I noted Mr. Nandor's perl prowness. DONE.

            I expressed the hope that Mr. Nandor would educate me, from his personal knowledge, or by citation, about the racism of Che Guevara. DONE. (I get educated in the most unusual places- it is a nice thing about bei
