WSJ Article on Chief Justice Roberts

[CuteOldGuy]

FastGoon, you don't even know what the Constitution is, do you? 90 pages?

Not that I ever took you seriously, there is even less reason to now. That is the stupidest statement on here in months.

Go to school, man. Do something. At least get your money back for that mail order GED. Something.

[Fast Gunn]

Okay, I was referring to the fixed format with a certain font size of a copy I downloaded from the internet complete with commentary.

If you really want to split hairs just to be an ass, the total number of pages really depends on all the variables used in the presentation.

Either way, my point is that it does not take so many pages to render a decision if the entire US Constitution can be written out in only a few pages, depending on the size of the paper, the font, commentary, articles, discussion and blah,blah,blah!

Nice try, FastGoon. Nobody is buying it. A 90 page commentary on the Constitution? Please. My law school casebook was a thousand or more pages of tiny font, and I still knew the Constitution itself was only several pages long.

Admit it, you've never read the Constitution, have you? Be honest, no one will believe you anyway.

If you have something valid to say, and I have seen you do it, then for crying out loud say it without constantly calling people idiots, goons, etc. For shame, man, no one can be so acerbic for so long without others beginning to ignore him. Don't you get it?

Say your piece and leave the names to the 13 year-olds.

Idiot.

Oh lighten up. We play rough here. Its the nature of the forum. We're not collegial. This is the Sandbox. We mix logic with insults; they're not mutually exclusive.

Never heard him complain about anything I've been called. Hmmm . . .

That's incorrect. SOME of you mix logic and insults (which is in of itself analogous to baboons sitting around the monkey house scratching and throwing shit because 'that's what primates do.'). COG just contributes the insults. You'll note that in his post above. No argument, no logic. Just sophomoric names.

If you wish to pretend there is some virtual wild west in here where the 'real men hang out', be my guest. But that would make it incumbent on you to avoid inviting mental tots.

[CuteOldGuy]

You obviously don't read what I write. You should. You would learn something.

[JDNorthface]

Alright, I'll tell you what. If you are absolutely convinced that your posts have a modicum of intellectual fiber to them, I'll start trying to fairly consider your points. How's that? Provided such posts contain no names or insults for the sake of being insulting.

I believe you and every other person on this board have something valuable to contribute because I've seen it in the past. But I disagree with Joe, I do not believe that anyone has to flavor his wit and intelligence with crudity and incivility nor do I believe it is a 'privilege of the forum' to do so.

Fast Gunn made some valid and correct points. But you could simply not acknowledge them because of your delight in the novelty of the little play on on his name. That's how sissies fight. Are you a sissy, COG? I bet you're not.

I'll do a better job of ferreting out the validity of your posts but I challenge you to step up to the plate and do the same for others, sans the name-calling.

He has convinced me, icuminpeace seems to be on a first-name basis with Austin!

[Fast Gunn]

You should learn that learning is definitely not your strong suit, old geezer.

In fact, I don't know that you have any sort of value other than the dubious one of creating conflict.

. . . About the only thing anybody learns from reading your posts is that your only purpose in life is to stir up shit!

JD Dorkface, FastGoon called me an old geezer! That was an insult! Please reprimand him!

My God, your behavior is pathologically infantile.

Now I remember you. You're the guy who reminded the teacher she forgot to give a homework assignment for the weekend.

There's nothing wrong with asking someone to watch their language if you're in a Chuck E Cheese's. It's not such a good idea if you're in a biker bar.
