[phaster blah blah rant]
upon reflection my excuse for a proclivity of using fact based zingers is caused by formidable years spent sitting through various theology (parochial school) and physics (university) lectures and trying to reconcile the two schools of thought, which admittedly in practice makes for unique analysis given each discipline has at its basis diametrically opposed ways of analyzing issues (i.e. belief vs logic)

News flash: none of the things you post is “factual”. You cut, copy, paste articles you seem fit to “support” whatever your opinion is. And the bottom line is, none of your sht your are shoveling moves the needle for anyone’s wallet. You’ve wasted your life and time doing whatever the heck motivates you. You’re not trying to reconcile your thoughts. You have an opinion that you’re married to. And the moment someone disagrees you pile on a boatload of clippings of internet articles as the defacto god’s truth, because obviously everything you read on the internet must be true.
People that disagree, you keep beating the “sky is fallen, end of the world” crap, and then “you’re an idiot” crap….Lol, the same crap you whine about how everyone else is doing. Pot, meet kettle.
Go chase after a public pension crisis to your heart’s content, which is now what you’ve got your head so wrapped up again, just like you did peak oil. After all, being wrong about peak oil, you need to find another windmill to chase after…
You’ll be wrong again. There will be no crisis. Pensions will get re-negotiated, contract laws will be changed, pension holders will take a bath. Just like it happened in the private sector, just like it happened in places like Detroit. No nuclear meltdown, certainly not going to happen before you’re dead because of old age. And once again, all your posts about all opinions about the end of the world will be wrong. again. You can post all you want, you’re entitled to your opinion, and you certainly aren’t going to change mine, especially with your terrible track record.
And certainly, I’ve become your object of reply ever since I disagreed with your wacko opinion of the end of the world.
And if I recall, this all started with one post from someone about a Vanguard Muni fund, asking about opinions. Which, among someone of us, we said we had and it wasn’t bad, but don’t expect huge returns. You jumped right into that thread and hijacked it with your bullshit doomsayer pension crisis posts, despite no one giving a shit about the thread you started yourself about it. And yes, that did annoy me because just like some (cough) other posters(cough), I was like why the fck do you want to turn this thread into your windmill chasing pension crisis crap again? You went further to flood the thread, again originally about the Vanguard fund, with your crap about a pension crisis. Go revisit that thread. No one else responded to your “enlightening opinion” about a nuclear meltdown. People kept asking questions, about “what are the returns so far”, what are they invested in etc.
I responded to you simply saying, well it takes a long time for things to break down, and when they do, usually there’s some government intervention. Then you went off the deep end of making an ASSumption that I’m heavily invested in bonds. The truth is I have $40,000 in bonds instead of cash, and like I said, it’s not even close to be “heavily invested” in one thing. Thankfully, I’m not listening to you for any financial advice. Otherwise that $40,000 probably would still be earning 0.00000001% in that liquid savings account, like it probably is for you. My ASSumption is that people like you who are so afraid of everything, that think the sky is falling everywhere, ends up leaving their money in a savings or their mattress. How far off am I from the truth, in your case? I’m certainly allowed to be off, since you certainly were way off with me.
The interesting part accuse me of saying I’m an expert. I’ve never claimed to be. Meanwhile you keep running off about peak oil and public pension crisis. We get it. You’re a doomsayer, and the end of the world is going to happen. The sky is falling. Good luck with that one. How’s that worked out for your financial well being so far?
This isn’t about having a dissenting opinion. This is perfect example of you having an opinion to the point that you’re so convicted of it, that anyone that says anything to the contrary, you go off the deep end trying to convince others you are right..to the point that you end up being an asshole…And most people would probably just say whatever. Me, I can reciprocate that and multiply that by a factor of 100.
Your original opinions, which all they are are interesting, crossed into “wacko” by the shear obsession with one thing, and then rubbing your nose and bombarding people who don’t subscribe to your doomsayer mentality is exactly what you accuse others of doing. And then hijacking other threads with your pension nuclear meltdown drivel you keep posting about. Followed up with an obsession with people that disagree with you. Why you bother, I have no idea why. Mental illness maybe?
I mean, if you’re so fascinated with peak oil an public pension crisis, why don’t you start your own blog dedicated to it? I’m sure there are plenty of people that share your view of doom and gloom. You shouldn’t have a problem finding eyeballs, if that’s your motivation. Or maybe you already did, and you’re just trying to get eyeballs?
It’s kinda funny that a few of you are grouping together in a gang, like “we’re the dissenting opinion” and we’ve been “victimized” by folks on this blog.
No one is being a dick to you guys because of your opinion itself. Some of us are being a dick to you because we’re sick of you trying to shovel your unsolicited opinion up our asses religiously, and trying to back it up with what you think are facts, but in most cases editorials, clippings taken out of context, and/or flat out lies, and even hijacking threads to push your agenda. You certainly didn’t like it when some of us started to do the same thing as an example of own medicine…
