An observation of Einstein’s immediately comes to mind: the difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits! <br /> <br />I thought for a moment that I would save you some embarrassment, Thomas Flanagan, and not published your comment, which confirms the truth of Einstein’s words. You clearly have absolutely no conception of the meaning of satire. Do you possess a dictionary? Go on; look it up. <br /> <br />Everyone else understands what I’m driving at here and I really don’t see why I should try and educate you when your powers of comprehension are clearly quite limited. Oh – what the hell – the point is one can express opposition to things like mass immigration and multiculturalism without going off the rails like Mad Anders. In drawing parallels and making links the New Statesman is attempting to silence debate by association, by associating perfectly reasonable arguments with the worst forms of crazy extremism. Do you understand? Is that managing to penetrate the thick cloud which covers the little intelligence you have? I doubt it somehow. <br /> <br />Incidentally I do not spend the ‘majority’ of my time celebrating my education; only when it is appropriate to do so. Now trot along, Thomas Flannigan; there’s a good chap. :-)Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-57809964126321486382012-05-04T07:55:17.881-07:002012-05-04T07:55:17.881-07:00So if you're so like-minded then you'd act...So if you're so like-minded then you'd act similarly to him i.e. mass murder a number of school-children all because of your right wing beliefs? I don't know if that's exactly what you're saying and I realise you warn people in coming close in that you may 'infect' those who do with your right wing tendencies, but for somebody who spends a majority of her time celebrating what a proper education she's had, your estimation of what's acceptable to say is ridiculously far off. Before you start drawing comparisons to people like Breivik, take some time to think about what people who lost their children and friends in his shooting would feel upon reading this, like myself for example. I think what you've said is incredibly insensitive and unnecessary, and not to mention, stupid.Tom Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02340052142595745919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-25541226807287406562012-05-02T15:53:34.660-07:002012-05-02T15:53:34.660-07:00Too true, Bob.Too true, Bob.Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-33398885474644870742012-05-01T20:19:12.822-07:002012-05-01T20:19:12.822-07:00It's the rare Leftist who ever occupies the hi...It's the rare Leftist who ever occupies the high ground.
