Saying "duh" to someone is not justified even when they demonstrate profound ignorance.
Would 'hello?' be palatable to you? I really am annoyed at faulty reasoning.
By the way, you did demonstrate profound ignorance in your posts about firearms.
Nonsense.
I admitted that I have never owned a gun, have never been interested in the technical aspect of its operation and have fired a gun only once -- as part of military training required for all college students in my country.
What I said in the gun thread, if you have conveniently forgotten by now, is the
PURPOSE OF A GUN IN AND OF ITSELF. You may use it for sport, for decorative ornament, or even to squash a cockroach and it would not deter its fundamental purpose.
And whatever goons, boors or gun enthusiasts may think about the mechanical operation of a gun, it is
STILL within the laws of
PHYSICS AND PROBABILITY. I certainly am
NOT ignorant of physics and probability. I even have the diploma to prove it.
Nevertheless, I admit that I did refer to you as a "little brown monkey". It was in retaliation for your rudeness and insults to other posters. I felt that you were deserving of a little baiting. I do not consider Asians to be little brown monkeys. As I remember, I stated that phonetically in Polish, your screen name of numinus meant "annoying little brown monkey". Of course, I made that up. For resorting to name calling, I sincerely apologize.
Now how about you working on your rudeness?
You posted that particular racial slur immediately after you proffered a truce just like this one right here. The truce was designed to lull me into a false sense of security and illicit some background information about me. Hence, I responded that I was from the south-eastern part of asia.
The 'little brown monkey' slur wasn't made up by you at all. You claim too much credit for yourself. That is tha preferred slur of european (and subsequently, american) colonists ever since marco polo -- which is ironic really, since caucasians generally have more facial and body hairs than asians. Certainly, the general 'educated' population of the west is dumber the that of the east.
All of this, of course, is irrelevant since I have already told you, I do not mind racial slurs directed at me. You may want to actually think before you respond to me, though -- that is, if you do not wish me to to react incredulously.
Other than that, it is really nice of you to be honest for a change.
