I do wonder though, how anyone who is obviously as intelligent as you are can spout hatred towards a group of people...... Towards governments, fine.... Towards establishments, fine....

I dont see how intelligence and hatred have any correlate. I dont see how anyone could get an education and not be angry. As if the more uneducated you are, the more acceptable it is to be hateful? And the smarter you are the more unacceptable hatred is? If anything, the more I learn, the angrier I get. By the time I am a Phd, I will be living in the mountains mailing pipe bombs to MTV executives. How anyone could sit and around and watch the tacit acceptance and lemming like maintenance of the status quo without damn near frothing at the mouth, I cannot fathom. And again, I dont hate everyone, I hate very select groups of people. I loathe the herd mentality and anyone (like Buff) that wants to stand up and moo louder than the rest in his herd in some misguided attempt at individualism, will be shown the respect the deserve. Which in my eyes is none. My enemy is not based on race or religion, my enemy is ignorance.
As for my apparent hatred and use of profanity. When arguing with someone like Buff, you need to argue at their level. You need to weave your criticism with colloquialism that they will understand. I am not saying I am above it all, I am as white trash as they come, I am quite comfortable talking like a biker. In fact I prefer it. But I digress. You would not be able to argue with Buffy any other way. Any attempt I made to inject simple logic into an argument was met with more prose steeped in metaphor and simile and utterly lacking in any substantive content. It is all merely to cover his shortcomings. It may dazzle some and give the impression that he knows anything at all, but to me its utterly transparent. Its nothing new. I have argued with Colin several times on GFY and you will never read me calling him an ignorant bitch or insinuating he blows goats. Just as you will never read him calling me names. To argue with someone like Buffy, the sheeple, or anyone on GFY for that matter, you are gonna have to drop down to their level. Could you imagine Buffy arguing with a Phd? What a clusterfuck that would be. It would be like watching the Special Olympics, absolutely hilarious, but at the same time tragic and heartbreaking.
I dont think Buffy is utterly worthless, in fact I find some of his work absolutely hilarious. Judging from his sample clips on Chatroom Romeo, he certainly is not lacking in charisma and self confidence. But while these may be his strong points, they are also his worst enemy.
