Clay Jones for May 02, 2015

Three of them were black officers, and one of them a woman. Showing your racism Jones?

How does a broken vertebrate happen when riding in a van? Did the driver go over speed bumps for good air time?

Funny, I thought that there was 3 Black Cops and One woman in the charged group rather than 6 white male officers or is that all Clay can draw?

The PD wasn’t exactly forthcoming about the identity of the officers until they were indicted.

“Those racists are predominately white, Christian, and Republican. Whole police departments full of them.”.What an offensive blanket statement! In your view, are non-whites ever or able to be racist?

Here you go Clay……half the cops were Blackhttp://2d0yaz2jiom3c6vy7e7e5svk.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Baltimore-6-800×430.jpg

Ah, the hypocrite returns. So, no answer to my observation a day or two ago that you too were recorded attacking another poster personally? Or did you just turn tail and deleted the offending post without so much as a “Oops! I’ve lost any self-proclaimed high-ground; so sorry!”

Dude, you’re a funny ol’ bird. ;-)

fwolf claimed: “I’m not sure what you are referring to”

No, of course you’re not. :-|Allow me to assist you climb off your high-horse:

And I quote:

“You’re a funny one, Greggy.

Was that a snide remark I detected here? :

[fwolf said] “He also claims to be a scientist, which of course automatically means that he is an expert in all sciences, not just in psychology”

Tut, tut, losing our moral high-ground, are we?Come, come, you can do better than personal attacks, surely?

* Files this one in case it gets deleted.”

You state above:" I haven’t deleted any of my other posts."Not only are you a hypocrite, you deleted a couple of posts in that thread directed at prfessor with Hiram as your subject. You’re not only blatantly lying through your teeth, you’re again showing up yourself for the hypocrite that you are.If you are going to be self-righteous, then at least hold yourself to the same standard.

Your comments in response to martens above are along similar lines as Julie, Gregg, Phoenix and fwolf. You’ve adopted a whole host of monikers or, as you like pointing out to others, their sock-puppets.You’re not much different: you adopt new /nicks once you’re called out or found out.The same self-righteous vain ran thru’ all of their posts. You keep getting caught out yet you feign ignorance.Now you deny you deleted posts a mere couple of days ago? Come, come, Greggy, you fool no-one.

Sure they did.

You’re a character and half, that’s for sure.

But you’re that man!:“Someone has to stand up to experts!”

From what I have observed from the real PhDs – at least six – on this forum, I have not seen any of them claiming expertise in all areas. They even at pains to state it. What I have seen are people who have applied the scientific methodology, learned in their area of expertise, to other areas of our or the cartoon’s interest.And if you follow their reasoning, even though they are stepping out of their areas of expertise, it is quite clear they are careful to explain their reasoning throughout, backing up their claims using & providing academic sources.My area of expertise is engineering: information networks and security, but that doesn’t stop me from sounding off in areas that is not my comfort zone. We all do it here, and why not, we’re allowed to express our opinions. However, then we must be able to defend our positions.‘Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.’ – D.P.MoynihanIf someone else uses a factual argument which points out the flaws in our opinions, but when the counter-argument to facts is disdain, contempt and insults, I can understand the frustration expressed. In retaliation they – those who use careful reasoning – are instead lambasted every which way by others who have been proven wrong.Suddenly those who have used sound methodologies are ‘waving their academic credentials and being condescending’.

There is a serious anti-intellectualism movement gaining ground in your country.I note it with a comment of yours above: “I’m just a person who prefers to read forums (fora is such an antiquated word) that are as free of sniping, insulting and oh-so-superior condescension as possible.”

Your comment is a study in snide sniping, the very type you are proclaiming to abhor. You shrug off the correct term martens used; why? What was the ‘value-add’ to the conversation with that remark?I guess you also sneer at people who say stadia and not stadiums, referenda and not referendums, and then claim you are not being snide.In my original comment under Glenn McCoy you were not just responding to Prfesser, you were commenting snidely against Hiram, in a condescending tone. The poster, Prfesser, certainly waved his credentials in their faces; more: he was insulting and offensive; but you didn’t seem to have any issue with that…what is with the double-standards?

You come across as a petty hall-monitor and are loathe to admit when you have been pointed out carrying out the very same behaviour you are pontificating about.I pointed out your hypocrisy under Glenn McCoy, [the comment mysteriously ‘deleted by the mods’, as so often happens to you] but you reply with:" Again: observing certain behavorial patterns (in this case, chronic ones that are blatantly obvious to anyone who is paying attention) and truthfully pointing them out is not equivalent to a personal attack.“

In other words: ”When I do it, it isn’t". Of course not. :-|

I tell you what it is: you see the disdain & contempt as “standing up to the experts”

Oh yes, you are that person.
