I wouldn't necessarily call him a f**twit.

But yes, he was arrogant, rude, obnoxious, snobbish, insensitive, clueless, ignorant, irrational, illogical, foolish, short-sighted, and egoistical.



I'm sure I forgot something.

There's a certain joy to be found in one who is so keen on establishing his magnificence that he appears to forget what the question actually was, and posts a number of links that don't actually advance the debate in any way.

From the link someone posted to another site, I see he also makes the schoolboy error of thinking that the FBI's crime statistics prove that blacks commit many times more crimes than whites.

To be honest, if he's to be believed about his education then it's either a shocking indictment of US schools and colleges, or an awful and sobering display of how mental decline can shatter lives.

I don't get your moderatorial policy, UR. I really don't. We get some unhinged white supremacist spraying racist bilge around, and you meet it with vague platitudes asking everyone to chill out. Then when Asher mildly jibes you, you ban him.

If moderators don't act on crap like this, posters will. Emphatically. Why not review this thread and try working out just why Provost got miffed, because you're missing a gigantic point.

Then explain how it is that while Plato was pontificating on the state of the human and his mind, Africans were running around beating on (ant) hollowed out logs and eating each other?

No-one really knows.

Yes we do, it's called evolution. Read a book on it.

I don't believe that this guy did a graduate degree at a major university with an attitude like that.

Since when is "attitude" a factor in passing a test? You either know the subject matter or you don't, simple as that. If you have been led to believe otherwise, then you are mistaken. What some people refer to as "arrogance" is usually confidence- due to success.

Further, what some people describe as "hate" is nothing more then the cowards way of avoiding true debate. You cannot, try as you might, obviate facts by calling them "hate" the Soviets in both Russia and China tried it, without long term success. Everyone knew in those communist empires that it was BS, no matter how many party aparatchiks claimed it to be truth.

You are truly arrogant ER...

[DRoseDARs]

AH, that might get misconstrued. Just a friendly warning...

[Alexander's Horse]

eh? I got it here

[DRoseDARs]

I really wish E.Rex would come back. He was a cute little troll.

[Alexander's Horse]

bah he's just troll bait - the real pros like Laz just ate him

[DRoseDARs]

Well, given our resident troglodytes have been largely MIA or relatively well-behaved, we have to get our wacky racism from somewhere.

I say bring back civnation

So you are claiming that the Greeks were more highly evolved than the other Mediterranean ethnicities. Where is the evidence of that?

Part of doing advanced work at a university is that you get confronted with people who disagree with you. Success depends on being able to take this disagreement more or less well and still get on with your colleagues. You strike me as an unmitigated ass whom everyone would love to hate.
