Yeah, I suppose I just did.
So are you saying he was an uncle tom now or when he was with trump?
Once an Uncle Tom âŚ
So you think a black person should have a prescribed set of opinions, vote and behave in a certain way?

Completely irrespective of colour, he comes across as a self serving opportunistic weasel.

The planet is safer now
We will see. it certainly isnât more dangerous, but the Americans, like the rest of the western world, need every cent they can get.
In terms of commitments to reduce carbon. I believe Biden is sincere in that.
In terms of war Trump was better than obama

I said that? Jeez, I must type a few words every now and then. I might come up with a best selling novel.
It appears so and I thought he was just wumming.

Not really. You seemed to suggest that educated people were better or more moral than uneducated people. I was just asking what you meant. Then you brought it to our attention that trump called biden a paedophile, I merely asked where. A few days ago I pointed out the irony of an educated man like yourself dismissing scienceâŚI thought it was a fine postâŚyouâre much more eloquent than trump, even I youâre saying exactly the same thing.
Is it possible that youâre getting carbon and pollution confused?
Anything is possible. I think fossil fuels and plastics and o Dr population are the major problems of our time.

Alright, I was going to give you a âfuck off back to Derry ye deplorableâ type message but youâre a decent poster and Iâll give you the courtesy of a proper response, which might also be slightly pedantic:
- From what Iâve seen a liberal college education has the potential to enrich / deepen a personâs moral life (up to a point). Education has the potential to broaden the mind and a broader mind has the potential to allow for more difference amongst people. I remember reading somewhere that itâs âharder to kill someone for an idea if youâve read a lot of Dickensâ and thatâs probably true;
- That doesnât mean you canât be a good man without a good education or youâll be a good man if you get expensive schooling;
- I also think that people with higher level of education are less likely to be attracted by Trumpâs style of discourse because theyâve been trained to react to something more complicated.
- I also think that part of Trumpâs appeal was resentment at the âliberal eliteâ. You are less likely to identify with that resentment if you were actually one of the people he was accusing of being an elitist, or if you know a lot of people like that from college.
- People with a liberal education are more likely to be pro-gay rights and therefore more anti-Trump.
Youâve read an awful lot between the lines here and thatâs on you. I said more educated people had rejected Trump. Youâve taken that as I âseemed to suggest that educated and people are better and more moral than uneducated peopleâ. Youâre the one whoâs equated voting for Trump with being bad or being immoral. This hasnât stopped you bemoaning Trumpâs downfall. This suggests something very unhappy, resentful or conflicted inside you.
Youâre giving the impression that the sight of lots of happy people somewhere in the world has tipped you over the edge.
