Spent a few hours
with sometime commenter and serial moper Redbone tonight. He’s flying a Super Decathlon cross country, and stopped in at Lansing airport for an overnight before moving west and north.
As you may have noticed from comments, Redbone is an asshole. A bigger asshole than you can imagine. SO i liked him just fine. Partner and I met him at Shannon’s for some chips and brew, and it didn’t dawn on me until just a moment ago that he might need something to eat beyond that. Sorry, dude. By now I figure you’ve discovered that your hotel is surrounded by good restaurants. . I’m picking him up in the AM and taking him back from the hotel to his plane. Anyway, Partner said “he fits right in. He yells and laughs and holds his own”. Which of course, is true.
Factual data, on the other hand… lets just say he bases his worldview on his feelings about how things should be.
Well, he’s young. Maybe he’ll figure it out. Nice to meet you, Bone. Safe journey and safe home again, and don’t piss off any grizzlies.
Oh, and Bone? Read a bit about Malthus. Overpopulation hysteria is just that. Always has been, always will be. You gotta get away from those morons on the coast. Because populous places have the most problems does not mean they are cauised by them, you need to understand the concept of “post hoc ergo propter hoc”
Gee now don’t you want to drink with him every Friday night? The wife and him usually end up in a scream fest with their arms around each others neck while I drink up the Bourbon and laugh.Hard to win when both are the smartest in the room, I been putting up with it since he was 3.
LOL! he’s clearly spent too much time with lawyers, appealing to the emotions of jurors to get the job done. Feelings are the property of the liberal, and have no place in reasoned discussion.
“Feelings are the property of the liberal, and have no place in reasoned discussion.”
That’s a bit too broad-brushed, Og. Without feelings, how do you know when it’s time to exit stage left, or pull your dagger and go for the jugular?
Feelings tell you all that.
on the admittedly rare occasions ivehad to fire up the whoopie machine, ive been remarkably cold.And im talking about discourse not defense
And Dog, now that I’m where I can type on a screen more than 1″ tall, I highly reccomend this article by Caleb”

Which makes many of the same points I make.
