1. there are two types of people my friend,
those who think there are two types of people, and those of us who know better.

:D

I think we are confused when we think the world is strictly binary when everything I see is more of a spectrum of choices.

3. You left out:
People who think this way are:

Trying to control the discourse, thusly limitting those who might participate in an exchange of ideas.

You forgot
paid operative of the BFEE. Almost as silly. I believe there are only four possible outcomes to any event. Yes three possible outcomes! Three, not four.

4. Wrong. There Could Be Several Theories To The Sanford Situation. The One I Find Delusional Is That
the BFEE did it.

I've never said that's the only option. I've only argued that putting forth such a theory is insane and delusional.

14. Insanity Is Quite Easy To Diagnose In Such Circumstances. Delusion Is Delusion.

statements about their possible mental health status.

So, Happy Holidays, OPM. :)

15. Wow, You Find This Immaturity And Ignorantly False Premise That Funny?
:rofl:

Hey, here's a challenge for ya: Show me where anyone, ANYONE whatsoever, claimed there could be only to theories.

If you can't, then this entire thread is nothing but the immature spew of an ignoramus with a false premise.

18. What I find totally hilarious
is that you started your own thread to call people "delusional" because it got boring for you to keep repeating yourself on the first thread. Now you've shown you can't take what you so generously dish out.

19. I Didn't Call Anyone Delusional In That OP.
I left that up to those voting, and did as fair of a job as I could've making the choices. They were not slanted whatsoever. It is just an extreme sliding scale. From totally whacked out, to totally sane and probable. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. My intention was to see in a spread out fashion where people stand on that scale. So nice try buddy.

23. Let's see
You ask "a question".

The question addresses whether or not "a question" can have more than two answers.

The number of possible answers you offer us is seven.


Is this supposed to be funny, cause I kinda think it is... :)

27. Funny you should mention it
I heard an NPR report, that said this week is the lowest productivity for US companies all year. :)

90% of all of US office workers are out of the office and the 10% that are in the office are on DU. :D

31. I love DU
:rofl:

This "poll" is right on...

When somebody (always the same somebody - what's up with that?) rushes in to discredit ideas or theories, one really does begin to suspect that that somebody has a real simple agenda - defending the BFEE perhaps? Bored being a Republican? Paid by Frist to diagnose mental capacity based on forum posts?

Who knows what's up with that somebody, but I can usually predict what that somebody will say for any given situation. It's like knowing fleas will arrive in summer....every summer.
