I almost always qualify my opinion with "I thinK" or something like that because I'm clearly not laboring under the assumption that I'm perfect.

You can decide who you think makes "ridiculous" comments, and I'll make my own decision as well.
I hear it's a requirement to have a high murder rate to qualify as a major city. The average person isn't a college graduate and understands murder. Murder, I say.

I think, therefore I am.

To quote another post: "I think you make no sense."

Sometimes the propaganda technique of transference (trying to deflect an argument by bringing up something completely out of context) just doesn't work.

Nice try, though.

You do realize I'm mimicking you right? My post wasn't supposed to make sense. But I'm glad you got it. You're a sharp one sir.
