OK #1 #2 The Defense: #3 Do you actually know what empathy is? Given the three examples above, it dosen't seem that you are aquainted with the concept. #1 Tom failed to make something of himself while you did. Empathy, not so much. #2 Tom is both to blame for his own failures and also for the success of others. Again, empathy, hardly. #3 Pity is directed at Tom for his own poor decisions and the way his life turned out and suggesting he can be comforted by moaning and blaming othes. Empathy, not even close. I rest my case. Guilty as charged.
You wanted some more! "I can laugh at you but that is about as much attention as I can muster up for people like you." "Maybe cyberspace was made for "What did you say I called you" .Angry old white uneducated basement-dwelling shut-ins like you." "You'll continue to be a Right wing a$$hat. If you want to feel superior, knock yourself out." "Now go to your cross burning and tell your fellow white hooded buddies you talked a northerner down." Oh! And BTW, each of those is word for word exact copies of your statements again.
I have no empathy for you idiots. Of course I never made the claim either and then tried to run away from my own words.
I could be wrong but it seems to me that he's going out of his way and making a real effort to phrase things in a way that you can grasp. That's evidence of empathy isn't it? Trying to reach people on their own level.
What? You mean like this? "Wow! Let me guess. Southern educated? My God! I've been trying to educate a moron." Oh! and my university SAT averaged 1420 while his only averaged 1270, but it is about 125 miles south of his.
I seriously doubt I would have any 'empathy', sympathy or any other thy for anyone's economic situation on this forum (or anyone like anyone on this forum). While I would have 'empathy' for people who truly are destitute/hungry/homeless, etc - I don't waste any on people just because they don't have as much as someone else does. And if anyone on this forum truly was destitute/hungry/homeless, etc it would be hard for me to have empathy with them wasting their time on this forum.
You never claimed to be empathetic? Really? Here's a direct quote from your post #108: "What creates empathy in people like me....."
WARNING ABOUT USING FOUL LANGUAGE IT IS AGAINST THE RULES NEXT PERSON WHO DECIDES TO INDULGE WILL BE BANNED
Is your position really so weak that you have to twist words this badly? Of course it is. I have NEVER claimed to have "NO" empathy in any post. I only claimed to have none for you idiots in this post. And really, who would have empathy for people like you? You undermine your own economic situation and take the rest of us down with you. Ignorance and dogmatic ideology make you not worth the time to feel sorry for. You seem to have neglected to try and respond to post #142. You asked "Show me a single case where I have exhibited a lack of empathy." I showed you 3 instances and you keep running away from them without being able to defend them. That is all you ever do. Both De Orc and I have tried to get you to defend your statements but you run and hide like a little school girl. You never once provided an instance of a higher education person preying on naive students even after repeated posts asking for one. You run, hide, ignore, an cower endlessly. It seems to be contagious on the Right. I figured out your kind out a long time ago. Anything that challenges your shallow worldview requires you to attack and gather as much peripheral support as you can from like-minded idiots. You have no support in the general population so you come to places like this to spew your nonsense. You're a sad minority of dinosaurs destined for the waste bin of history but you want to flail around and make as much noise as you can before your backwards ideology has you living in military style compounds defending the wall from an attack that never comes. You are a complete waste of broadband width. Empathy is a lost concept on your kind.
You just spew out both sides of your mouth don't you? Perhaps you should read what you have typed prior to hitting the reply key & you may not look like such an idiot. It's funny that you can say you have empathy but just not for people like me & it's okay but when I claim to have empathy but not for people like tom it becomes something different. You know that's the point you made, right? Geesshhh, why don't you just go back to selling your snake oil?
Davey...you should be polishing some executive knobs about now, shouldn't you? Oh...wait...the three martini lunch and a Blackberry. UNCALLED FOR COMMENT
No that was not your claim. You asked anyone to, "Show me a single case where I have exhibited a lack of empathy." I showed you three cases. You just keep ignoring that and now you admit to not showing empathy in Tom's case. So again, guilty as charged.
Yeah...now focus here...it was your claim I didn't have empathy for others, basesd on the "social lottery". That really isn't the case with lil' tommy, right?
No again, not my claim. Making stuff up is just a sign of desperation you know. I have been focused all along. You keep running off on every tangent you can think of.
