h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Starbirth, I'm afraid that that's a rather meaningless statement unless you tell me WHICH facts you contest - and why. Clearly you don't feel confident to do so.<

I contest none of your facts. I see no facts only assertions that you have writen the word facts in front of.

As far as Enqiure back pay I believe you were hired mostlt
for filer.

P.S., Starbirth, dear, please read carefully for typos before you hit post...(I'm just offering you advice.)

>P.S., Starbirth, dear, please read carefully for typos before you hit post...(I'm just offering you advice.) <

I am assuming you are offering sincere advive so I will show the the respect of a honest answer.

I do realize that I make a number of typos while posting here. I do try to check over my post but unfortunently I am on some very strong pain medication {enough to kill several water buffulo's} to allow me to funtion. {I have had several operations and will endure several more in the coming months} The medications have a tendency to make things a little hazy sometimes. I tell you this not to illicit pity but that you understand I do not do it irritate nor am I a complete idiot.

With a little effort though perhaps I could reach completion.

"I contest none of your facts. I see no facts only assertions that you have writen the word facts in front of."

Again, meaningless unless you provide a reason for believing that they are not facts. I'm happy for my writings to be challenged, but that's not a challenge - just an insult.

Starbirth, I have the greatest sympathy for anyone requiring pain medication. But if it's preventing you from thinking clearly, why do you even contribute here?

" I think Empty's first and last "facts" are the most insulting to those with any intelligence."

Then I trust that do not feel the least slighted. Based on your example of "logic" from the previous page.

>Starbirth, I have the greatest sympathy for anyone requiring pain medication. But if it's preventing you from thinking clearly, why do you even contribute here?<

So you feel that people who have challanges in their life from such things as illness,injury or handicaps should just give up and stop living. They should not bother to communicate with the rest of the world. After all they are an embarrassment to you. How dare people like me think they have the right to interact with ones like yourself. It makes you so uncomfortable.

Even though you are a sanctimonious twit who obviously needs to do a lot of growing up I pray you never have your life turned upside down, that doing just the normal everything days you use to take for granted are now torture sessions. However as much as your life has changed you are determened to keep it as normal as possible even when assholes Question your right to. I really do hope you never have to answer that Question for yourself.

Please excuse any typos.

Starbirth, I didn't question your right to post here. I apologise if I gave you that impression. I'm happy that you do.

I simply wondered why you bother. Considering your inability to communicate a cohesive argument is only doing your cause a great deal of harm.

You say you are not an idiot and I believe that. However it seems that your medication is preventing you from doing justice to your true ability. Do you really want that to continue?

BTW is it injury, illness or disability? Just curious.

> simply wondered why you bother. Considering your inability to communicate a cohesive argument is only doing your cause a great deal of harm.

My cause? My cause is raising my children and running my company to provide for them.

My inability to communicate a cohesive argument is only forestalled by your lack conception to base it on.

Are you undersome delusion that we are conducting case studys in preparation for deliberation in front of the supreme court?

I come here to have some discourse with what is ussually a deverse group of people. I come here for the pure enjoyment of a little verbal sparring,a joke or witticism and maybe an extended debate or political aurgument. There is no hidden agenda. No cause to promote.

You need not patronize me Empty as your apology rings as true as your name.

*slink*

"Then I trust that do not feel the least slighted. Based on your example of "logic" from the previous page"

How much funnier that would have been if you had included the word "you" in the sentence. As it is, it makes *you* look unintelligent. Bwahahaha!

oooo I'm dealing with comic genius here

"My cause?"

Nebula, whether you realise it or not, you do have a cause here. Your opinions are very staunch. You're very firmly grinding your particular axe.

"My inability to communicate a cohesive argument is only forestalled by your lack conception to base it on."

What an enormous load of nonsense. (You really do try too hard at times). Actually your ability to communicate a cohesive argument is hampered by your arrogance and your inability to make yourself understood. Look to yourself before you start to blame others.

And how dare you asume I'm patronising you? My apology was sincere. Though I'm beginning to think it was wasted on you.

Oh, birth, I am sorry to hear about your bad health! I hope that your operations do you some good, and that you are better soon.

Empty's words of wisdom and compasion. part 1

>I simply wondered why you bother. Considering your inability to communicate a cohesive argument is only doing your cause a great deal of harm.<

>You say you are not an idiot and I believe that. However it seems that your medication is preventing you from doing justice to your true ability. Do you really want that to continue?<

A response to emptys words part 2:

You amaze me Empty. You put forth a facade of political correctness. Professing your indignity at how the US is a 'bully' uncarring of it treatment of third world countrys and the weaker of our worlds inhabitants.

However when you yourself come across a fellow human who is at odds with your views you exploite a physical weakness you have become aware of to immediately assail their right to even participate in the same forum as you. You employ a condescending approach to denagrate while blatently pretending to have only his best intrests at heart.

Why should I even bother to contribute here seeing I have a physical ailment?
Why should the world bother with such things as the Special olympic's?
Why should mentally retarded children even bother to go to school and learn?
Why should Handicaped people even try to live a normal life?
Why should the world put up with the infirm, old, sick, handicaped, mentally ill ?
Would it not be better to save them from all this suffering? Should not we strive for a race of super men where none are afflicted with sickness, handicaps infirmitys? A world of perfection a....Master race?......now why does that seem so familiar?

>Oh, birth, I am sorry to hear about your bad health! I hope that your operations do you some good, and that you are better soon.<

Thank you Adele. I had a very severe injury a little over a year ago and have undergone a few operations and have one more to go through this fall. I have been in much pain but the is light at the end of the tunnel. I only brought it up because I was taken to task for typos and i do find myself making more than ussual. I did not want anyone to think that I had so little regard for what we discussed that I could care less about the typos. I should have kept my mouth shut however for I have left a opening for for some of dubious ethical fortitude to exploit. Your kind words are apprecieted.

I asure you my pain/medication has no bearing on my sometimes incoherent discourse. That is a natural ability I possess

Calm, calm, chaps.
Starbirth, you have every right to express your opinion. The other guy was out of line.
Now, just to get back into roughly the thread, have a read of this;

"We're helping to rebuild Iraq, where the dictator built palaces for himself, instead of hospitals and schools."

What a woofer! Before the US allowed the hospitals to be attacked and looted they were acknowledged to be the finest in the world - there are, I believe around eighteen world class hospitals in Bagdhad alone.

The link, if anyone requires a further laugh, is http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/iraq/

I don't know how they type this stuff and keep a straight face. Oh that's right, they don't have too.

And here's something from a Q and A session.

Q Mr. President, Defense officials are now saying they are confident they have found a mobile biological lab, exactly what Secretary Powell described before the United Nations. Are you aware of the details? What can you tell us about that? And has Secretary Rumsfeld given you any details?

THE PRESIDENT: I'm not surprised if we begin to uncover the weapons program of Saddam Hussein -- because he had a weapons program. I will leave the details of your question to the experts, but one thing we know is that he had a weapons program. We also know he spent years trying to hide the weapons program. And over time the truth will come out and the American people will see that when we rid Saddam Hussein from -- got him out of power, we made America more secure.

Q Would you mind if we ask Secretary Rumsfeld if he could share --

SECRETARY RUMSFELD: I like the President's answer.


I bet you do Donald!

>What a woofer! Before the US allowed the hospitals to be attacked and looted they were acknowledged to be the finest in the world - there are, I believe around eighteen world class hospitals in Bagdhad alone.<

Yes Iraq was the most educated modern country in the middle east. However that was long ago before saddam hussien led the iraq nation in a 6 year war against Iran, and a 3 week war with most of the world. {not to mention stealing billions over the years for his personal use and even more billions to buy weapons and bribe his hench men.} !2 years of UN sanctions did not help either.

What ever anyone says about US motives surely no one can say Iraq is worse off without this man and his family.
