[Vision2020] Donovan: Dale or Doug?

Fri Apr 1 01:23:56 PDT 2011

Saundra,

I bet me and Joe are a lot more alike than either of us cares to admit. Which is just another reason why I wouldn't care to meet him. :D

Yes, I am not serious about proof of his PhD, I was being my usual facetious online self because of his demands for me proving I am in fact me, and others who they are; sounding like people wanting Obama to provide his birth certificate. It is really annoying and unproductive, we need to just take each other at our word, with the understanding that all of us are better people in life than our one dimensional cyber selves. If it means anything, I did try on several occasions to meet Joe at several venues we both attended, but it just never happened. I cannot image now having that kind of free time to be able to track down Joe when I cannot even track down all my relatives every time I am back up north. Maybe someday, in about a 1 1/2 years, when I am done with nursing school, I can return home and find Joe.

Donavan,

I think you should take Joe up on his offer!  $100 is $100, and having met both of you, I think you’d have an enjoyable time, as would Joe.  I think you two have more similarities than you do differences, which can sometimes be lost in online only communications.

Anyway, next time you’re up this direction, please give it some thought.

BTW, you’re sounding kind of like a birther with demands that Joe give you proof of his PhD . . . just sayin’.  I could easily provide you with a dozen credible Web sites that list his qualifications, but I’m assuming you’re being somewhat facetious in your request, yes?

Joe,

Please provide a link. I don't think $100 is worth having lunch with you, at least not for me it isn't. I am sure plenty of your philosophy graduates would think $100 is lot of money because they are pretty unemployable in the real world unless they have an additional education in something else as well.

Do some research! You can prove it yourself (it's on the UA website for one thing).

The funny thing is I'll give you $100 to have lunch with me.

You won't do it! Proof enough that you're NOT Donovan.

Joe,

I want proof that you actually earned a PhD? 

BTW, I vote for idiots all the time, because I vote for the person most likely to defeat the Republican. I would imagine that Republicans vote for idiots too precisely because Democrats tend to put idiots on the ballot as well, leaving an idiot Republican or an idiot Democratic situation to choose from. 

IMO, almost all people are bigots and hypocrites towards one group of people or another.

Sorry -- last clarification. 

I didn't call ALL Republicans -- whom I disagree with -- "idiots." In fact, I explicitly said that I don't think all Republicans are idiots and mentioned a few by name that I didn't think were idiots.

I asked why Republicans VOTE for idiots. The idiots are folks like Bush, Palin, and Gingrich. I called Gingrich an "idiot" because of his bigoted comments -- comments which you conveniently didn't include in this criticism -- not because he was a Republican. I asked a question: Why do so many Republicans vote for idiots -- folks who are either dumb as posts or obvious and clear bigots?

I'm asking you, too, Roger. Why did you openly support Gresham Bouma in the last election, someone who is openly antagonistic toward Mormons? Why support Young, someone who was openly antagonistic toward folks on the left? Do you think it is OK to call Mormons "blasphemous"? Do you think that that kind of behavior is indicative of what our founding fathers meant by the right to the free exercise of religion? Do you think leaders should only cater to members of your own political party? That they can ignore the folks that they don't vote for them?

But the fact is that you won't answer these questions. What you'll do is call me a "communist" and try to divert attention from the growing racism of your political party. And what I'll continue to do is point out the racism, even if it means putting up with your mean-spirited name calling.

It is amazing to me that some people on the left like joe, call everyone they disagree with idiots. I think it was Stalin that called the American left useful idiots. A friend of my aunt's on finding out I was a friend of Steve Symms said, "He can't be very bright can he". Some on the right think the same way. I do not know why people cannot disagree on the issues with out disparaging one another's intelligence.
