If he was 100% Caucasian, we'd be bitching about Hillary, and not him.

Observations:
Why would failure to answer your alleged 3 of 4 questions be insulting to you or anyone?
RixPix didn’t ignore you. Your first sentence was a statement but with a question mark. Your second sentence asked for a definition and RixPix again gave that. Your third sentence was I’ve-got-my-eye-on-you: an attempt to intimidate with the bonus insult of calling RixPix “kitty”.
Interesting that RixPix’s experiential beliefs about levels of education and how some people react means he is stifled in personal growth and maturity but your life lessons, conclusions and beliefs don’t.
Assuming you do care about the issues and are trying to correct faulty beliefs and win converts; is making bald, insulting, unsupported, inaccurate statements an intelligent response to things you disagree on?
Do you believe that… you, I guess… the "under educated" possess a more valid real life experience and are thus superior to the "educated"?
You assess RixPix and his Adlai Stevenson quote as being self-inflated and meaningless. I suggest you fail to understand either the content or the context of his reply.
And what is this continuing fascination with illusionary acts of masturbation to support your position?
Nothing about the “human condition”… the humanities… disgusts me. But there are some human behaviors that dismay me.
Good luck to you, sir. I feel your frustration.

Thanx for joining the ...errr...conversation.

Without the asking and answering of questions you can't have a conversation.It would be a lecture,speech,poetry reading...
I had an attorney and doctor for parents and had to deal with their associates and friends.I was always amazed at the different ways a person would choose to not answer a question.
No I disagree,it is in the form of a question,your missing the inflection.
Please show me where he defined"under educated" in relationship to"educated"in relationship to"over educated"?
I can't comprehend or imagine where you got"I've got an eye on you".I'll need help on that one please.
The "kitty" was an obvious failed attempt at humor.RP's avatar is that of a cat and gender-less.
Your sentence starting with"interesting" doesn't make sense to me.
Your sentence starting with"Assuming".I'll say no.Just trying to get a light bulb to go off some where to be nice and less condescending.
Your sentence starting with"Do".I'll say your wrong.I'm probably in the undefined"over educated"category.
The next sentence starting with"You".To me it was an attempt to answer the question with a metaphor hidden in this quote.It did not answer the question.You should be able to see that.
Have I been masturbating my mind in writing in public too?I apologize.
I guess almost lastly,I think we are using different definitions,but
unfortunately we can't control that.
Good luck to you.I found this quite refreshing.Thanx.

Sorry if my post came across as a lecture.
So much to reply to! We’ll try them in order and endeavor to be terse.

Yes, our politician’s failure to give simple and direct answers is frustrating. Many examples abound but Charles Durning in Best Little WH in Texas plays it out nicely… http://videosift.com/video/Best-Little-Whorehouse-in-Texas-Dance-a-little-Sidestep

When I read your first sentence I did not “hear” a voice rising at the end to indicate a question and judged the ? to be a typo. If you remove the ? and read it again, you might agree.

Page 4, Sep 4, 12 19:57:42,
“I guess when people read and become educated they can be viewed as proud of their accomplishments and full of themselves.”
That seems straight forward.
“Those that feel the need to[p] point out this pride are often at the other end of spectrum...under educated and envious of the success of others.”
While not a Merriam-Webster entry, it seems a fairly clear belief/observation. I understood.
As to “over educated”… I think that was your word choice from Page 5, Sep 5, 12 00:43:15.

You don’t think that “You have my full attention now kitty” especially coming at the end a paragraph that says, in effect, justify your stand, isn’t meant to be just a tiny bit intimidating… or a dare maybe? The only time you refer to RixPix by name, you call him kitty. I could probably write a dissertation on that alone.

I thought “interesting” was self-explanatory. RixPix relates a conclusion based on his life experiences. Your assessment based on your experiences seems to be that others (the under educated) have one upped with a more valid “real life experience” that invalidates RixPix’s.

I did clarify the “Do” sentence with “you, I guess” as I wasn’t sure which class you assigned yourself to due to the “one upped” comment. Yes, you do appear to be knowledgeable and literate. Over educated? Perhaps if one was referencing the needs of a specific job, etc.

The next sentence starting with “You”. I saw the quote only as an example of the type of rhetoric that the “under educated” views as being pompous, nerdy, over educated, self- important, etc.
It would have been a better example to contrast it with a sample of the more common vernacular as used by such inspiring speakers as Will Rogers, Martin Luther King and JFK.

As to differing definitions… well, that’s what makes a horse race.

Enough! Any more of this and I’ll be accusing myself of indulging in illusionary acts of… whatever it was you wrote.

Thanks for indulging me. I’m not sure we’ve changed anything but you made me think and I’ve rather enjoyed this too.

I see what happens when I don't check in on a daily basis. I encourage everyone I meet to always vote their pocketbook. However, I feel that the issues described in this thread regarding the mining industry have been cultivated by rhetoric coming from Republican Party activists much in the same way the NRA is trying to frighten the already gun proponents into believing the Democrats want to take their guns away.

The mine operators want to do away with OSHA and the EPA and the gun manufacturers need a place to sell their guns since many other countries have followed the UK's example regarding firearms. In order to ensure their continued financial success they fabricate scenarios and pass them of as fact to the public.

95% of the information being tossed around regarding the current President is just not true and I firmly believe that if he was 100% Caucasian looking the rhetoric would be much more tempered.

Most of the rhetoric surrounding George W. Bush has to do with his ties to big oil (can not be disputed) and the war in Iraq (also can not be disputed). The rhetoric surrounding Barack Obama is contrived surrounding his birth certificate and speculation about this religious practices.

There are a number of Americans that are suspicious of the current President because they think is going to come down on them because of this country's history of slavery. Now, where do you think they got THAT idea?

"Frightened old white men...better hide your women their a black man in the White House." has been bandied around for years now. Where do you think they got that idea?
