You're an idiot. It is well known how stupid you are in that group
as well.

I have read there for years and posted there as well. You are an
idiot.

Again, you do not *know* anything.

Sure. My ideas are practical, however. Yours are closer to that of
the idiot, "Gravity Physics".

The higher you are on the board, the more of an idiot you are,
idiot. That would make YOU the more idiotic.

Got clue?

That doesn't make him any less an idiot.

Bah, you need some sense of scale. Check out how many Russians were
eliminated by Stalin, and how many Chinese by Mao. No, they're most
certainly ***not*** self-emolating. They're "cleaning the ranks".

There is nothing to seem odd, since they're not doing it.

Absurd. American newspapers, public forums, political parties, and
public institutions are full of different opinions, vigorously and
publicly stated. A very few people call the opinions of other to be
traitorous, and that's allowed free speech, too.

You say so much about the USA and you know so little.
