Homeless guy: 50% of the people sleeping at my shelter have grown comfortable with being taken care of...

The entire post was written to point out the broad - brush generalizations of your obvious fixation that anyone who disagrees with you is a leftist. I think your post history does quite well on their own merit bearing that fact, not accusation, out.

Hey, I only commented to point out your hypocrisy, not your "leftist bent". But by all means: feel free to totally lose it at my expense.

Commonsense and logic will get you nowhere sometimes.

No, but they do the EXACT same thing, just use different words like, oh, wait, looks like someone's beat me to it.

It is not the exact same thing. People throw around "____phobe" without even knowing what it means, and I am sick of it. One can dislike someone or something without being afraid of it. And actually the main point of my reply was to assert that Gegel is incorrect by jumping to conclusions about the homeless person quoted initially.

You tell me. I never said that.

Check your first post in this thread. You use the word "unqualified."

Words are hard.

Words are hard.

The English language can indeed be daunting...

I never said that.

Yeah, you did.

This is truth. Here's the issue with your statement. The reason folks on the right are afflicted with those titles, is because they use language that's specifically tailored to that person/thing's unique quality. Folks say you can't criticize Obama without being called racist. Look at their comments. Tar Baby. Boy. The N word. I wonder why you're being called racist. Same thing goes with gay people. The same folks saying I don't have an issue with gays are the same folks using the F word or talking about their sexual practices instead of the issues at hand. Especially when you throw the bible in there to back up your claims of why you hate gay people.

And to be fair, Gegel's comment doesn't speak for all the folks on the left. Not saying he isn't right, but you're too quick to make it a political thing when it's really just one person's opinion.

Not to mention my comment was misunderstood, as ENG101 would have it. Their inference does not make the implication mine.

Why does everything have to be political

It shouldn't be. But it became political when unsmiley made the comment about the left.

Mmm: Falling back on your expertise in English might not be your best play. It's clear to all that either English is your (distant) 2nd language, or you've got some sort of deficit. Sorry: just the facts...

It's funny, the guy who complains about race baiting and ignores folks has no problem insulting someone

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

I count 3 definitions of unqualified.

How many do you guys count?
