I laugh at this pathetic dodge.

It's a response, not a dodge. Where's that evidence you promised?

If you do not recognize scholarly achievement you are a child.

You therefore have childish opinions and childish dodges.

All I did was chuckle at your refusal to provide the evidence you promised.


Unless you wanted me to provide evidence that I chuckled at your comment. Were you actually asking me to provide evidence that I laughed at you? Really? Do you want me to post a YouTube video of me reading your post and laughing?

I provided you with all you need to know she is a scholar of the law.

Not a con man.

If you can understand such things.

That is something you have not demonstrated.

 

[Jason Harvestdancer]

Not a con man.

Of course she's not a con man, she's a woman.

 

[untermensche]

Not a con man.

Of course she's not a con man, she's a woman.

Glad to know you are done.

 

[Jason Harvestdancer]

Not a con man.

Of course she's not a con man, she's a woman.

Glad to know you are done.

You finally come around, now you say she's a con woman.

 

[untermensche]

Glad to know you are done.

You finally come around, now you say she's a con woman.

She is a distinguished scholar of the law. A serious thinker. A teacher.

She is substance.

Not a con man.

But you prefer a good show to substance and try to demean substance.

 

[Jason Harvestdancer]

Glad to know you are done.

You finally come around, now you say she's a con woman.

She is a distinguished scholar of the law.

She is a scholar of the law. "Distinguished" is a matter of opinion.

A serious thinker.

That is nothing but opinion.

A teacher.

Which makes her stand out from the large number of teachers across the country?

She is substance.

That is still unestablished.

Not a con man.

We've agreed that is a gendered term.

But you prefer a good show to substance and try to demean substance.

That is projection. You've yet to show you can deviate from the party line on any issue at any time. It is almost as if you are a programmed background character in a video game.

 

[untermensche]

She is a distinguished scholar of the law.

She is a scholar of the law. "Distinguished" is a matter of opinion.

Harvard law?

Which makes her stand out from the large number of teachers across the country?

People that teach are people of substance.

She taught the Law at Harvard.

That is not your run-of-the-mill teaching position.

It makes her of rare distinguished substance.

Most politicians do not teach.

Obama also taught.

 

[Jason Harvestdancer]

Harvard law?

Are you saying that everyone who graduated from Harvard Law is a person of substance?

Which makes her stand out from the large number of teachers across the country?

People that teach are people of substance.

I've seen some pretty inferior teachers.

 

[untermensche]

Are you saying that everyone who graduated from Harvard Law is a person of substance?

She taught there.

The teachers are rare scholars and exceptional teachers.

People that teach are people of substance.

I've seen some pretty inferior teachers.

You've clearly had many.

And clearly not been anywhere near the faculty at Harvard law school.

 

[Jason Harvestdancer]

She taught there.

That doesn't answer the question.

Are you saying that everyone who graduated from Harvard Law is a person of substance.

I've seen some pretty inferior teachers.

You've clearly had many.

I learn something from each person I meet, even you, so that statement is technically true.

 

[untermensche]

Are you saying that everyone who graduated from Harvard Law is a person of substance.

That is an irrational question.

I am talking about the faculty not every graduate.

 

[Jason Harvestdancer]

Okay, so you're not saying that being a graduate of Harvard Law makes one notable, only being faculty of Harvard Law.

Here's something you might not know about higher education. Minorities are underrepresented among educators. Since all colleges want a faculty that looks diverse, minorities are bid away from smaller colleges and snapped up by those that can pay significantly more. So if she applies as a female Cherokee, Affirmative Action increases her chance of getting the position.

What are you even talking about???

I have applied for many academic positions, and been hired to two, and no one ever asked whether I was a Cherokee or not, nor would it have been appropriate to throw that into the interview unless it was relevant to my qualifications somehow.

She is more talented than most of the white male faculty members who are not in the US Senate.

She is of unusual quality for a member of Congress.

*snerk*

Instead of making up irrational arguments of why you don't like her - twisting everything into a negative (as you like to do), why don't you just say why you don't like her - be honest for once.

 

[untermensche]

*snerk*

You have been given your evidence.

Your little childish ignorant snerk is total shit!

Your opinion is total shit.

You wouldn't know a quality mind if your life depended on it.

Getting half a billion from your daddy and then playing your whole life is not an achievement.
