Do you practice at being an imbecile or do you find it just comes naturally?
I think Walker has two personalities: 'Insightful Zen Walker' and 'Extremist Babbling Walker'. He doesn't seem tormented by it... rather, he just torments us. :lol:

I ignore 99% of your (Age's) posts - I didn't read a word of the above CRAP. so why bother putting in so much effort with me?

Someone should take away your (Age's) access to electricity. :P

- You cannot answer a simple yes or no question, so you call other folks imbeciles.
- "I see"Frodrick.
- If you answer a simple question with a simple yes or no, you may be asked to explain either answer, and you don’t want that, do you. Doing that would require stepping out of the Sniping with Snark, Shell of Protection.
- Do you think Snark Strategy is a choice?

Age, please take your narcissist know-it-all crap that you idiotically like to incessantly brag about somewhere else. You are just a troll who clearly isn't aware enough to find a more suitable audience in space and time.

Who's "we". I moved on when I was five years old.
It took a few more years to also chllenge the "belief" of nationhood, which is the primary cause of so many wars, then racism, then sexual predudice.
But I think by the time I was 10 I'd resigned most of human srupidity to the dustin of skepticism.
That's great! I used the word 'we' to talk about human beings in general, obviously, and to indicate that I am one. For someone like yourself who moved on when you were 5 years old, why haven't you yet figured out how to NOT be an asshole? :lol: That's possible too, ya know.
I'm not an asshole. But being an arse can be the only response when they world is so full of "assholes". I have a right to be frustrated and pissed on at stupidity which seems present in buckets all over.
Maybe I'm just old enough to know now acknoweldge how much of my efforts hve been bashing my head against a brickwall.

For believing in trans rights, gay rights, women's rights and being left wing pretty makes me a wokey arsehole.
What am I supposed to do?

@Age

Yes even without reading your latest post I have to agree with Lacewing. You are interminable.

Are you asking whether Age has a choice of putting in so much effort with his posts (even though many people are ignoring him)? Do you think his compulsion is unavoidable? Maybe he's just really addicted to constantly elevating himself above the human race. Maybe he gets off on it. Do people like that have a choice? I don't think your question is that simple to answer yes or no. What do you think the answer is (yes or no), and why?

I understand. It can be infuriating. But, see, we can agree on things... and yet you often come out of left field to poke me when there's absolutely no reason to. It's almost as if you look for something to disagree with and be snarky about. Do you have an issue with me being an outspoken female? Does your maleness want to pee higher on the tree... or, even, pee on my posts? :lol: Just like a male dog that wants to pee on everything! Stop it. As I tell my dog, 'you don't need to pee on freshly planted flowers'. 8)

Stop playing the victim.
I did not even know you are female and would not make an allowance for that if I did.

I don't want to step-on fish while he's mulling over his response, which should be a yes or no, and if he wants to get seriously fancy, also with an explanation of the yes or no.

You probably couldn't understand my answer, judging by the feedback I get, so I don't feel the need to speak, although there is a need for fish to explain his yes or no, should he be so inclined and if not, no hard feelings. It's quite possible he may not, because he considers me to be an imbecile, either trained or of the natural variety, and trying to communicate with such as me would be an insurmountable task not worth his while.

And just to give you a hint, that is, a clue, of where I'm coming from ... :P

I'm not a victim... and that's not why I mentioned being female. You've apparently been an asshole for so long, you can't see past it.

You don't do so bad yourself. Take a look at your last comment about Walker..
And I tend to act like an Arse when twats keep calling me an asshole.
That's how it works.

If it's such a simple answer, why can't you give a simple answer? It's your tendency to convolute things to the point of nonsense that people don't want to invest in.

Actually, nobody even needs to be talking to you for you to do it.

All my answers are simple.

I don't want to step-on fish while he's mulling over his response, which should be a yes or no, and if he wants to get seriously fancy, also with an explanation of the yes or no. (oh wait, I told you that, but you wanted a different answer).

Excellent. That is how it works.

She should put on the brakes and write an essay to reach an understanding of why this is so, rather than try to be cute.
