I'm a moron too. And anybody who disagrees with me is a moron.

You are correct.

You're both wrong.  Only I am right.  (And UC, of course.  He's always
right.  Just ask him.)

Why complain when called a moron in one thread and then confirm it in the
next?
And to think I defended you.

And to think you took me seriously.

I don't have any quarrel with you, ray.  I was just trying to be
funny, doing a parody of The Argument Clinic, if you will.  I intended
no offense, and I apologize if something I said led you to think
otherwise.  I find it strange that you allow yourself so much sloppy
writing, punctuation, etc., in a group on English usage, but you're no
UC, and I accept you as you are -- which is all I ask of you for me.

Let's try to get along, okay?

Oh Bobby I was just teasing you.

And you, ray, are definitely *not* a moron.

Stone cold sober as a matter of fact, to quote the only knighted homosexual
whom I've worshipped since the age of twelve :)

I'd put a "there" in there (after the "are").

How's a moron supposed to know that?

What is the critical mass? What concentration of morons causes
spontaneous explosion?

What kind of moron asks such a question of a moron?

What is the critical mass? What concentration of Uranium Committee
members causes spontaneous explosion?

It was the task of the Uranium Committee to begin investigation into
the possibilities of uranium bombs.

Hey, don't leave us in suspense.  What did they discover?

That it was possible to make uranium bombs if you do it right. You have
to get just the right amount of uranium, of just the right purity and
isotope, and you have to bring it into a ball of just the right size,
and you have to compress it at just the right speed, or else you get a
dud. No explosion.

Fascinating.  Do you think anyone will try it?

Maybe North Korea.

But there are also quite a few idiots and imbeciles here too so that
confuses the issue.

In Congres?  535.

In the administration?  Millions.

In the Va state legislature?  140, plus assistants.
That is correct.  To be a moron one needs assistant
morons.

Where?  Give me a location, I'll give you an
answer.

Very few, I'd have thought.

It's only a very small village in Switzerland after all.
