Ew, seeing Peter Thiel speak at the RNC convention is making my skin itch (San Francisco: violent crime, neighborhoods)

Oh right, he is just a nut job and Thiel is just a moron. How dare people like this think differently than dictated by the white liberal elitist!

Again, you assign to me things I have never said. What a fiction writer! Master of hyperbole!

Theil, straight or gay, is a moron for supporting moronic behavior. I haven't said a word about any particular ideologies.

So yes it is laughable. It is laughable how lazy, unambitious, and fatalistic many so-called true Americans are.

Who the 10 million kids might be raised by has no bearing whatsoever on the truth of my observations. Your response is a total non-sequitur.

Welcome to the new America where creators, innovators, risk-takers, dreamers, hard-workers, strivers are looked down upon, even called morons. What is exalted is sloth and ineptitude.

I can't tell you just how persuasive a certain mutt's arguments in this thread have been. There isn't a unit of measurement that small.

Fluffy: who is "they" who must be mocked?

As for me being persuasive? Mmm, Can't change small, closed minds. Don't expect to. This is a venue for other minds as well, however. And for open expression. And I have no lack of confidence my examples are well enjoyed here by many. And I thank you and bmw, LuvOC, Craziaskowboi, and others for my inspiration to share

More thrashing about things never mentioned. You do get wound up don't you OC? Well, we all need our exercise - even if it's jumping to unfounded conclusions! Eh?

Come on Mutt, I know you aren't that stupid. You know exactly what you are implying and it's the opposite of tolerance and exact example of liberal elitism.

A smart, successful, and well spoken billionaire is not a moron. The only reason you are pointing to him out of all the speakers is because he is a gay person and you hate the fact that a successful gay person is going against the liberal elite. You think of it as a slippery slope that it might give the confidence of others to start voicing their own opinion instead of falling in line.

Shame on you.

You persist in guessing about what I am saying, rather than reading what I am saying with any comprehension whatsoever. Amusing.

I am not implying anything other than what I bluntly state: support of moronic behavior is moronic in itself. Or at least shamelessly self-serving. In Theil's case, it's moronic.

And that goes for every other speaker at the RNC Convention. However, note, I didn't bother mentioning the other speakers because - well - this thread doesn't feature others. It features our own SV golden child, Peter Theil. Who, as a SV entrepreneur / genius / fabulous success story / whatever accolades you want to assign to him - um, should know better as evidence of his supposed intelligence.

And note: not one single utterance from me in all these posts about Theil's sexuality or any presumption I might make about his allegiance to or responsibility to the same. Not one. Has nothing to do with sexuality. And everything to do with the moronic behavior of a supposedly highly intelligent SV entrepreneur.

Learn to read.
And think.

You're just jealous and somewhat confused now. A gay republican , proud of his sexuality and openly embraced by his political party of choice. That must be such a party pooper to see how clearly being gay and being republican are not mutually exclusive.

By the way SF is a very diverse city. There is a very conservative gay community who just stay out of the protests and the overt behavior that goes along with it. A large group all told and one that is probably more openminded in a real sense than most.

I hope you're not implying that Hillary is not also guilty of "moronic behavior".

What, exactly, have you read in my posts on this thread that refers to HRC at all in any way?

But, now that you've brought us to the topic, I suppose you'll want to explore that belief? I haven't engaged in any real political controversy here. I've pointed out scientifically / medically / historically verifiable points that highlight human behavior unsuitable for leadership. None of my comments have been ideologically limited to "left" or "right", Republican or Democrat.

Whether one agrees with Hillary's ideological platforms or not, she isn't insane, or moronic. Which same observation of basic sanity and intellectual capacity could be said for Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Chris Christie, Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley, and a number of the others who have exited the race.

Ben Carson, on the other hand ...
