Many Central African and Central American are both poorer and ruled by despots, but you don't see THEM fomenting jihad against the 'great satan.' It is difficult to think of a poor and despot-ruled islamic nation that is NOT doing this.

but the fact is that central african contries ARE going through this... haven't you been listening to l'ermit at all, or do you not read the links that he includes with his posts and blindly reply??

to hide the truth with polysylabic words that are esoteric in nature, when a monosylabic word will suffice. in other words, to use long, decietful words, when short, truthful ones will work just as well.

Anti-intellectualism would indeed seem to suit your limitations. I use the words I use because they best fit the double exigency I demand of my posts; precision and concision.
[athenonrex]
that is not anti-intellectualism, it is pointing out that you are superfulus. you are using "big" words when a simple word would be not only as accurate, but would also allow the members of CoV with a more limited vocabulary to join in with the discussion. have you even read any of my previous posts? the ones not related to this thread anyway? if not, read them. you will find that i am far from "anti intellectual" but rather aware of my surroundings and others in my surrounding, be they electronic or real life.what i was trying to point out as a side note was that the manner in which you write is akin to the speech writers of corrupt politicians.

Why don't you do everyone a favor and wrap your text? failing to do so makes it tedious to read, and even more tedious to answer.
[athenonrex]
what about putting your post in html? doesn't THAT make it a bit hard to reply???or are you just better that the rest of us??
