It's impossible to fail an IQ test; there is no such consideration of grading given.

That's what they said. Then they put the red and white blocks in front of flashy.

On the topic of insults, an insult is defined by the receiver, not the speaker. If a speaker is intentionally trying to insult someone the speaker is using what is known of the receiver the strike a nerve. If a speaker is intentionally trying to avoid insulting someone, the same thing is done, but instead of aiming for a nerve, the speaker avoids them. Likewise, as we don't know each other perfectly, a receiver may easily misconstrue intention of insult at any given moment. Whether or not the nerve is struck is down the the receiver, regardless of the speaker's attitude.

Well, you can't deny it was an attempt. He thought I had like, bared my soul or something, and that it gave him some kind of chance to really get a dig in. that's why I thought it was funny.

If you think yourself so intelligent, why haven't you figured out that the only thing that can truly be unknown is specifically what another person was thinking and did not, will not, or refuses to present to another party. So whether you think he's full of shit or not, you still don't know what exactly he meant or thought until he feels he wants to offer it to you. No matter how certain you are, there is still a large margin for error in your analysis and information.

But it's flashy. LoL.

Another thing I can't seem to understand is why someone who says he focuses on numbers so much wouldn't see there is more value in calm, civilized, and open discourse;you're not spending resources on fighting each other and ending up at the same end conclusion anyway. Sure, flashy did it first, so what? Aggression begets aggression, assertion begets assertion, calm begets calm. If someone's goal is to just start a fight, and noone around is vulnerable enough to be incited into a fight, they will simply leave or be annoying and eventually ignored or removed.

I don't know why you are playing peacemaker.... but really, you are trying to get between the Hatfields and the McCoys on this one. :biggrin1:

I'm sorry I missed this. I didn't mean to ignore you. I was too caught up PMing some folk. Have a good one.

 

[Flashy]

Oh, it wasn't meant in a way to state my belief of who started what, but as a preemptive response to a reason that most people use when arguing incessantly: "He/She started it!".

i understand, but you are not dealing with a typical rational person when you deal with "new end"...as you can see.

 

[Flashy]

LoL.

I think that's worth another score.

actually, he was pointing out that you cannot even move on to discuss anything in this thread, since, the only reason you are in this thread is to argue with me, not to discuss the topic.

WTF is wrong with you?

I win. I already won the thread by telling you you are a week late.

Unless that efficiency would result in completing their mission better, faster, easier, or less expensively.

The reason the Post Office is doing so poorly isn't because their mission is too expensive, or because they are a non-profit entity, but rather because paper, the movement of which is their primary business, is becoming more and more phased out over time. Between the internet and a couple new technologies recently developed and already in use(ink-less biometrics), paper correspondence could be completely phased out except for archival purposes or individual preference. The primary reason we still use paper is because a signature is your certification of identity in regards to what you are signing, but a fingerprint which is sufficiently checked for fraud(eg, test skin conductivity and temperature for stress levels and false fingerprints) serves the same purpose.

The internet, cellular phones, and text messaging has been taking correspondence volume from the post office since the time of its creation. We're in the digital age, and the post office is essentially being selected out through technological evolution. We don't really need it because technology has already taken over the majority of its purpose. If you want to keep the system, it must be retrofitted and updated to be effective within the scope of current technology and society. After this update, it'd effectively be a national digital messaging system which has verified identification attached to the messages it transports, much like an IP which is attached to the user, not the computer.


The PO is dying because it's being selected out by technological evolution, we can do without it today if we make some simple choices, or we can update it to be the basis of a new system, effectively metamorphosing it to be efficient AND effective in its new operation.

I agree that the mission is more important; but I think things other than the mission should only be on the back-burner until such point where they are more valuable to successfully completing your mission than directly focusing upon that mission.

I don't deny that at all. The problem is that when you need to mail something, you need to mail it. While that frequency is much less, it also means that much of the mail that does get transported is there because digital is not an option. It takes a certain sophistication many users do not have to use e-signatures and there is still great trepidation among many users about using the internet for anything financial. Even courts are struggling with just what constitutes the electronic equivalent of an ink signature and how to establish the validity of not only the documents but the e-signatures as well.

I agree that we are in a transition period. Electronic transactions are not quite all there yet nor is the necessary security. We have a large aging population who prefer to use the mails for paying bills or ordering goods and who don't understand possible security threats or where they come from or how to deal with them even if they might otherwise trust certain websites for certain things. For a while at least, the USPS is going to have to operate as a necessary evil in the mode in which it currently operates. Mail may become something delivered every other day or for higher prices or with pricing based upon distance traveled or some other thing entirely. Maybe a closed network consisting of fax-type web-based devices could replace the mailbox? Maybe people could opt for USPS-guaranteed web transactions? I don't know. People still use USPS for sending non-essential packages and documents so even that wouldn't solve all problems. I'm sure it will get worked-out somehow when technology, ease of use, and security all combine to find the killer app to replace the bulk of USPS handled mail.

I gave myself a 0, to explain the utter pointlessness of the stupidity you have now embroiled this thread in. I received a zero, for particpating in such a silly contest with such a stupid fool as yourself.

you received the negative 2, because you are the stupid fool, who has nothing to contribute to this thread.

and you did not "win the thread", because while the original issue may have occurred last week, there is, since you do not notice, because you are an idiot, a lively discussion going on in this thread, regarding the USPS.

Pfft.... you are such a stupid fucking douche. I wonder how much longer I can dangle shiny shit in front of your face and watch you dance like an idiot?

A HA HA HA HA HA!

Seriously, why are you still even responding to me? LoL

call it a case of not wishing to give in to the type of nauseating cretins like yourself who cannot debate or argue without calling people "stupid fucking douche"

do you have anything to contribute to this thread on the topic?

anything at all, aside from being your usual low class, ignorant self?

Oh, of course.

Jon Stewart did a story on this a week ago. And it was a lot funnier.

 

[Flashy]

Oh, of course.

Jon Stewart did a story on this a week ago. And it was a lot funnier.

you already stated that Jon Stewart did a show.

you of course have not mentioned that since the Stewart show, postal organizations responded rather unfavorably to the Presidential comments. Those were not on the Stewart show.

Also, US News& World Report, Bloomberg, LA Times and CBS News have all run commentaries or Opinions on this very topic in the last 3 days.

do you have anything else, that is non-repetitive to add? Or are you just going to continue to take this thread further off-topic?

I'm just waiting until I can start the "Flashy goes postal" thread.

 

[Flashy]

I'm just waiting until I can start the "Flashy goes postal" thread.

i see...so we can basically boil everything down to your theory, that because Jon Stewart makes a joke, one week ago, on a topic, that the topic cannot be discussed, ever again?

i assume you were referring to this important segment:

Video: PR | The Daily Show | Comedy Central

and the "joke" at the 3:33 mark.

Thanks for looking out for us New End...LPSGers will be thrilled to know, i am sure, that because Jon Stewart spends 42 seconds making an extended joke about this particular line, that the topic is then done and dusted and bears no further discussion.

you said that "Jon Stewart did a story on this a week ago...and it was alot funnier"

in fact, now that we can cite things properly, with an actual link, we can see you lied and are wrong. Jon Stewart did not do a story on this. Jon Stewart made a single joke about this.

he spent 16 seconds making faces, and spoke for 23 seconds.

that is not a story.

thanks for clarifying it all for us.


Get lost.

 

[faceking]

surprised nobody here has mentioned this yet...i swear, when this guy does not have his teleprompter, he makes gaffes that would make Bush proud.

He's a teleprompter king, replete w/ two sometimes.

Problem is Biden never gets one, and he's like Dan Quayle threefold... Biden just conversing about pizza toppings makes an prompterless-Obama look like Reginald Maudling.

Dear Faceking: Not to highjack "Reply to Thread" even more, but despite Biden's verbosity, he at least knows how to spell. Sadly, ex Vice President Qualye made more misspellings than just the famous potato[e] incident. As with Bush the Senior we must just hope and pray nothing happens to Obama. Imagine Biden giving a State of the Union Address? "My fellow Americans . . . [three days later] . . . Thank you and God bless America." Oy!
