Victor, you positively make me laugh!!!


You really think it's possible that all my enmity toward my father in law comes from his position on global warming? That suggests your brain has an auto-pilot function that magically turns everything into a form that's easy for you to digest and dismiss, when you deem it to your advantage to do so. Sure reminds me of the way Fox news, so blatantly the most biased of all the major news organizations, declares itself as "fair and balanced" just to distract from the predicability of it's own slant. It's really all quite funny.

The other thing that's so amusing is that I've followed the contours of your "thinking" on this forum for a couple of years now and I can't think of anyone else who's more completely predictable in terms of opinions of both movies and politics, when the latter subject comes up. You've always struck me (and many others have publicly made the same observation) as the very picture of the closed mind, so I can only chuckle when you toss that description my way. I can't think of anyone who knows me who has ever described me that way.

As far as my father in law is concerned I see his position on global warming as called into question by the many other ways he demonstrates his utterly self-absorbed know-it-all qualities. This is a man that abandoned his kids when they were five years old, never contributed any child support while holding well-paid jobs as his wife supported three people on a pittance, then announced to me and his unsupported daughters how happy he was when his income finally reached "six figures." Then he told a later girlfriend that he didn't want kids because he's already "raised his children."

This is also the guy who has never said an affectionate word to either of his kids but reported to them how his "sides ached from crying" after his dog died...

Just the kind of guy who sees only what he wants. If I could only tell you the many other ways in which he transparently enjoyes holding contrary opinions because he thinks it shows he "gets" something that eludes other people.

Yeah, he's Mr. Intellectually Reliable, isn't he.
