Thoughts on this?

Zen question? LOL! What are you doing referencing a 19th century Russian philosopher implying existentialism when you can't understand my question? Or is it that you can't make the argument and realize your in over your head?

Rodram, Ithink it's who he is that's the problem with these folks. The hatred really makes no sense.

Anyone familiar with Dostoevski's works might have inferred the same thing I did. I can't expect everyone to understand my words or meanings. That's not my right, nor anyone else'e. Your question was self-evident. Therefore, zen. If you don't get my meaning, I apologize. I know with that "A" in your avatar, you refuse to get Dostoevski's meaning either.

I promise it's not. I don't hate anyone. I hate illogic. I hate ignorance. I hate hypocrisy. But I love people, in all of our error and stupidity, because we are all imperfect to the same degree. As such a mistaken person, I'm not commenting further on this hijacked thread. Thanks again to the OP for the original post, showing that even the right can play the left's old game of hypocrisy.

More bullshit! Quit running around my questions and answer them! That's what you should be doing instead of misdirection from the subject and then claiming the "you're not understanding" crap.

Tell me about Dostoevsky and why existentialism could be applied to that subject.
Here is what my answer was to you on dennisrn PROVIDER'S NOTES thread:

Rodram: "In respects to what dennisrn posted, I note some epistemological nihilism and political nihilism with an overarching cognitive dissonance, which by the way, I've noticed in many conservatives when debating general and political issues."

I just told you what I think about conservatism in terms that you should understand if you're going to reference Dostoevsky, so where's your rebuttal? Or are you gonna keep running around the ring and refuse to fight and debate me?

Just what does my avatar mean Gladman? What and whom does that "A" reference? Why would that "A" cause you to believe I would not acknowledge Doestevsky?

Explain yourself!

Yeah, it looks like it would be something like that considering where we're at, but no, not quite.

[satexasguy]

was a good guess though

In actuality you schooled me on this one. It is a common symbol for the Scarlett Letter and I didn't know that. It was co-opted by a movement that I am close to and that it means "Adultery" now makes sense as to why it was co-opted by them. Thanks for the info
