Please..
- RobVG -
11/26/2015 6:43:11 PM
OK, the long way round, you're saying you don't think Trump is a Fascist
- Robert -
11/26/2015 10:20:05 PM
I think you're just a little too gleeful.

- Robert -

Excellent post.
- ER -
11/30/2015 10:27:22 PM
It wasn't that Eco, or even Robert, were wrong.
- TB -
12/1/2015 4:09:07 AM
Your ideology is showing.
- ER -
12/1/2015 2:59:18 PM
I should hope so.
- TB -

A Wikepedia citation?

Heh, sorry. ER uses Wikepedia a lot, too.
- TB -
12/2/2015 1:25:31 AM
Read my post again and think about it. Sorry it was so subtle.
- mcfly -
12/2/2015 1:40:17 AM
Or you could just explain it.

Cute.

Did you know your data removed capital gains from the equation in order to look like that?
- RL -
12/2/2015 3:08:17 AM
I don't think that changes it being flat.
- TB -
12/2/2015 3:37:53 AM
You KNOW it does...

Heh. Don't you mean "Tommy?"
- TB -
12/2/2015 2:49:13 AM
And...
- RL -
12/2/2015 12:35:55 AM
There is a methodology problem...
- TB -
12/2/2015 1:21:27 AM
I am curious, TB
- RL -
12/2/2015 2:04:44 AM
That's just insulting
- mcfly -
12/2/2015 1:38:37 AM
Bringing engineers in probably wouldn't hurt. :)

I used to draw maps.
- ER -
12/2/2015 3:06:16 AM
That's tech, too.
- TB -
12/2/2015 3:48:40 AM
And yet another insult
- mcfly -

Thanks for that

11/30/2015 11:44:20 PM
I'm tending to agree with TB on this

Are you nuts?
- Robert -
11/30/2015 6:23:58 AM
Unclear answer.

Its perfectly clear to me,

They're in the "furious gibbering" phase.

Who's in "furious gibbering phase?"

Tommy tries desperately to hold back the liberal flood
- ER -
11/26/2015 7:58:39 PM
I don't think Trump is making any effort NOT to be shoehorned.
- ER -
11/26/2015 7:20:22 PM
Be honest Rob...
- RL -
11/26/2015 7:17:01 PM
I don't think Trump has a political ideology...
- RL -
11/26/2015 4:54:13 PM
Liberals should also beware of spending too much effort fighting Trump.
- ER -
11/26/2015 5:24:21 PM
That's because there IS NO definition of fascist.
- ER -
11/26/2015 4:19:57 AM
Look up number 14 in Eco's list.

Precision of language?

Wow... just...WOW
