    I expect you get confused. Sorry but I see no contradiction, just your confusion.

    Here are some links to books that can help clear you confusion.

    I hope these will help.

    lol...No, no confusion here.

    My only error is I somehow hoped you would realize your contradiction on your own and admit it like a grown man.

    And please, for future reference, do not presume that you can educate me on PRESIDENTS.

    Uhhh. Just checking in. This post was good for a laugh. I apologize in advance because the pics you are about to post of that amazing boat you designed and built yourself are going to make me feel so silly for laughing at you.

    Yeah, I may disagree with @MarAzul and sometimes pretty strongly, but he’s obviously a very intelligent person, especially on nautical things. IMO everyone see’s the world a little bit differently and most of the time they have something they can teach you, if you’re willing to listen.

    There's no question but what building a boat makes one an expert on Abraham Lincoln. Everybody knows that.

    fwiw, I never said or implied that Marz was not intelligent, but obviously I do strongly disagree with his stance on Lincoln...and since bodyman decided to add his comment directed at me, I have to ask, why in the hell would I want Marz to "educate" me on something I care nothing about?...I have absolutely no interest in building a boat.

    Well taking your original comment at face value, "do not presume that you can educate me on anything." Is what the response was towards. Not whether someone could teach you about Presidents. So your implication to me at least read that there was nothing (anything) that he could educate you on, which in fact does make it sound like you believe he is not as intelligent on any subject as you. Now adding in specifiers such as anything you care about, that may be I don't know.

    Jesus tap dancing christ, I just explained my intent and what I did not intend but if you want to interpret your own way, fine.

    fwiw, I went back and edited my post to read "presidents" instead of "anything".....all better?

    ...look up the word "inferred" and then read the post again.

    It's not worth getting upset about. All I was saying is that was my interpretation and why I responded the way I did. I have not at all intended to insult or offend you.

    No problem, man...Marz is anything but unintelligent and the remark I made was during a very heated discussion and yes, I could have worded it differently.

    I'll write you a ticket if I have to, but maybe it's best if you just promise not to do it again.

    Reminds me of that Teletubbies episode...

    Teletubbies, Show Episodes, Teletubbies Series One Episodes
    Swimming With Abraham Lincoln

    [​IMG]
    The episodes titlecard.

    Swimming With Abraham Lincoln is one of the most controversial episodes in the Teletubbies TV Series. It is criticized for its racism and extreme political views.
    Plot
    Abraham Lincoln goes to Teletubby Land because Jebus Khrist tells him that if he can kill all of the Teletubbies, he will be revived and he can bring back his slightly racist views to the United States of UnAmerica . So Honest Abe goes to Teletubby Land, armed with an axe he "borrowed" for George Washington, and a Po, who survives, but Abe does not know that. Jebus apparantley doesn't either, as Abe gets revived and goes back to the White House, which had been renamed the Black House because of recent actions against\for racism. Then Po arrives at the Black House. Po ties up Abe, throws him in a burlap sack, and throws him into the river so he could drown to death. Revenge was accomplished, but the slaves were not freed. Instead, Po takes over the Black house, and starts mucking around with the various contraptions within. This causes an oil spill, leading to a gigantic bomb placed in the basement by George W. Bush. Po then discovers a plan to make peace with Iraq. Po laughs at the paper, and gets out a lighter to burn it. However, Po slips up on the oil spill and accidentally lights the oil instead, causing the bomb to explode, destroying the Black House and killing Po.

    Reception
    Parents hated this episode for its racism and extreme political views. Kids liked it, but didn't understand the political parts. MSNBC loved this episode as well because they are cray, and hate the United States of UnAmerica.
