Ben Kenobi vs Michael the Great

[kentonio]

I said I was busy, which is what I was. Had quite a few things to do.

I'm willing to bet large cash sums that it did not involve healing the sick of their ailments.

[Ben Kenobi]

Since Kentonio is so wise, what exactly did I do yesterday?

[giblets]

I hope Ben continues in this "having a life" direction and stops posting here altogether.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Since Kentonio is so wise, what exactly did I do yesterday?

Healed the sick of their ailments, obviously.

[MichaeltheGreat]

Considering yesterday was Sunday, I have this thing called a *life*. Yes, I sometimes have very busy days like today and yesterday night.

Nice punt. You routinely slink out of threads after having made a fool of yourself or getting in a little tiff. It's not like it's a one-off.

Your objection to the comparison is that the two *aren't* the same, which is precisely why I made the argument in the first place. I make no apologies for it.

Actually, you had a rather blatantly offensive "I had to ride the back of the bus too" pity-party. Then you side-stepped.

Your disagreement isn't with what I said, your disagreement is with the facts and the evidence I presented. Arguing that I'm trying to 'score points', by arguing that yes, there are many similarities falls flat. Most people would accept that having a significant disability is similar to being black. Even in my pasty white bread northern Canadian town - there were more black folks than deaf folks. I counted maybe 5 children who had a similar disability to me in a town of about 80 thousand people. The problem isn't so much that it cannot be overcome, but the fact that people simply know nothing about it or how to work with it. We don't get 'after school specials' after all, and it's not a visible disability.

The other problem is this - I'm 100 percent verbal. I use zero sign. There are exactly no people that I know who operate on similar lines, so most of my whole life has been uncharted wilderness.

Rehash of the same argument doesn't make it any more valid, or make you any less ignorant of Jim Crow era institutionalized racism.

So I guess the Pharisees are going to want to nail him to the cross now and his jerkoff fantasy/delusion will be complete?

I'm sorry MtG. The world *doesn't* revolve around you. Want a response from me? Send a PM.

Actually, you had a rather blatantly offensive "I had to ride the back of the bus too" pity-party. Then you side-stepped.

Oh, so it's offensive to state that deaf people are discriminated against in today's society?

I stand by my argument. That you find it offensive speaks volumes.

[MichaeltheGreat]

The best response you could give would be to ride off into the sunset.

To quote Ronald Reagan: "There he goes again."

I stand by my argument. That you find it offensive speaks volumes.

Thanks for your typical display of vacuousness, intellectual dishonesty and verbal gameplaying. You can go now.

*MtG Rolls intimidation check. Fails.

Thanks for your typical display of vacuousness, intellectual dishonesty and verbal gameplaying.

You want some cheese with that whine?

[MichaeltheGreat]

You remind me of one of those little tin-cup carrying organ grinder's monkeys screeching for attention and spare change.

[MrFun]

poor BK .....

[Alexander's Horse]

don't believe him, Ben was just out getting batteries for hs hearing aid, he never went near a church

Come to think of it, maybe Bugs could do a healing...if he really is the messiah

[MichaeltheGreat]

poor BK .....

You're right, that was harsh... My bad.

Spoiler:

I shouldn't have insulted organ grinder monkeys by comparing BK to them. Those monkeys could actually be cute if you took those silly-assed outfits off of them and set them free.

So you're saying that Bugs is planning a coup on Obama?!?

No, I wasn't criticizing your responses to BK. I felt sorry for him, because he has a martyr complex when it comes to his disability.
