staplermofo,

Well done sir!

...and or the hopes and dreams of all of the people you kicked, trod upon, and climbed over to achieve pseudo-greatness.

Wow, throwing the heat right from the Weeners. Win.

Morals, not ethics. Morals let you do all kind of nastiness to your fellow humans, just as long as it's the right thing to do. Ethics aren't nearly as flexible.

He must have not gotten that memo or accidentally shredded it.

Hmmm...

One should at least try to occupy the moral high ground before claiming it...

Afternoon_Delight: The speaker is a good man and his words make sense. Why attack him?

Well, I can cite a personal example: Bush domestic policy advisor Claude Allen was the keynote speaker at my law school graduation in 2005, and spent a lot of time talking about ethics and morality and integrity (and also throwing party line bullshiat that had nothing to do with the occasion at us). Then a couple months later he got nabbed and criminally charged for scamming Target by "returning" merchandise off the shelves that he'd never purchased.

Afternoon_Delight: There's no hate like liberal hateTM.

Exactly. Because said hate is righteous.

Less that. It's easier to claim persecution, than come up with a cogent argument.

It'd be hilarious if AD was a script, and everyone in the politics tab is just talking with a poorly programmed pc. I dunno which scenario is more pathetic.

/obscure?

Genniffer Shaw Williams, 22, clutched three bachelor's degrees as she left Daniel-Meyer Coliseum. The former O.D. Wyatt High School student said it took her about 4 1/2 years to get the degrees in sociology, psychology and studio art. She took 18 hours of classes most semesters and attended summer school, she said.

WTF is this shiat? Since when are sociology, psychology, and studio art separate degrees? They're just multiple majors under a Bachelor of Arts. Funny part is she's going to graduate to go work at McDonalds with those crappy degrees; what kind of business hires a psychiatrist-lite who can draw pretty pictures?

There's no hate like liberal hate.

You've earned every bit of it.

I doubt that, as much as someone who likes to push buttons. I doubt very seriously that he believes anything that he posts, but he does like to get attention by posting up garbage. Trolls like the attention, and the best way to deal with them is to ignore them.

In the past, we've had far better.

Mr. Xhin: Cognitive dissonance: is a psychological term describing the uncomfortable tension that may result from having two conflicting thoughts at the same time, or from engaging in behavior that conflicts with one's beliefs.

You assume Bush is capable of having two thoughts in his head at the same time.

Ethics is very important to the Bushies. It's one of the well-defined weaknesses of the good American people they've learned to exploit through their continued quest for the expansion of power.

Ethics for them comes in the form of "Know thy enemy."

Obviously not.

I completely agree, I have him on my blacklist. I just wish Drew would realize how much better a blacklist for everyone would make Fark. The only reason fark garners so many idiots is that they don't have user moderation. The dregs of the internet end up here because it's the only place people will end up reading their offal.

That's why I use Ignore liberally. Life's too short for some brands of stoopid.

Are they using the scientology definition of ethics?

Called "Art Therapy". She will probably go for a masters but with a name like Genniffer she'll probably be charged later in life with sleeping with patients of both genders.

/dated an Art Therapy master's major
//she was very weird

Shaggy_C: what kind of business hires a psychiatrist-lite who can draw pretty pictures?

I'm a little confused by her choice of degrees as well but education isn't the same as job training. We'd be better off if schools and universities got back to real education rather than workforce training.

theteacher: Called "Art Therapy". She will probably go for a masters but with a name like Genniffer she'll probably be charged later in life with sleeping with patients of both genders.

Ouch...that's a little harsh. I'm assuming you had a bad experience with yours :)

nobodyUwannaknow: Are they using the scientology definition of ethics?

More like Aleister Crowley's....

"Ethics are the foundation of everything you are going to do in life"

He should have followed this with "Unless, of course, you're fortunate enough to have been born into a life of wealth and privilege, with an interlocking grid of multigenerational family connections at your disposal. If THAT'S the case, you can fark ethics and live a pampered life of booze, cocaine and dull-witted non-curiosity, drifting from career to career in expensive suits and nice homes, confident in the knowledge that dad and grandpa's buddies will never let you suffer the consequences of your own astonishing ineptitude. Good luck, Class of 2007!"

Because his claim to fame is representing the most criminal, dishonest, group of "leaders" in history of the United States of America....don't give me this Sh*t about Liberal hate, I voted for Bush both times...this is conservative hate!!!!

The second vote was more reluctant than the first, but now it would take someone straight out of the movie Idiocracy to not see that our President, a dishonest criminal, surrounds himself with other dishonest criminals.

My brother's involved with a few republican groups in TX. He said he has heard them much more hatefull things about Bush than any liberal. He, a long term 4th generation repub. himself who btw voted for Bush twice, had some unkind things to say as well.

Actually it was quite apparent before the 2004 elections. Did you get the memo? Do you, ya know, watch the news... ever?

Do what he says, not what he does.

Sincerity--once you can fake that, you've got it made.

I googled Gordon R. England. Somehow he reminds me of the philanthropic munitions millionaire in Major Barbara: if you accept that a war-profiteer can be a rigteous man, you won't have any problem with this guy. He's got credentials.
