    They give scholarships to people who not only don't know 'right' from 'wrong', they don't even know 'right' from 'write'?

    Btw it's 'for which I am getting a free ride due to academic achievement' (no need for a capit... I mean big A, there). You used 11 words to boast about how clever you are and made two errors. One every 5.5 words. So, if you are indeed at college and have to write a, say, 10,000 word thesis, you should only make about 1,800 errors. Way to go, Einstein.

    'QUOTE="Mr.DagoWop, post: 18611610, member: 111569"]The one where you replied saying you live in a 4 bedroom house.

    It doesn't matter what you haven't seen because that doesn't make it true. I have gotten plenty of "praise" for my posts. Last time I checked nobody is throwing laurel wreaths at you for anything you have said.

    Again, it doesn't matter what you have or have not seen. The only people who I have had to habitually insult is you and MrKoolKevin but you guys start the insulting.

    Sure, I'm 12.

    If you feel insulted by it then I am going to say it. Going by your reasoning, you are misogynist for calling someone a b*tch online.[/QUOTE]
    Now you have me puzzled, when did I refer to someone as a *****? Was it you?Ill have to check my posts.Can't find it I don't think Ive ever referred to a poster as a b*tch.I'm English so its not a word we use as an insult. You must have me confused with someone else who thinks you're an ignorant little tw*t.lol


    You seem a little backward for 12.

    Here's the post you referred to, no mention of the word B*TCH in it..

    "I live in a 4 bedroom detached house bought and paid for.
    You live with Mummy and Daddy who are subsidising your lifestyle.
    Who is the drone here?"
    Are you familiar with Hemingway's famous line?
    "grace under pressure"

    Well you ain't got it!:facepalm:

    I never said once that you said b*tch in that post. Not once.

    You are going to sit there and tell me that through 72,000 posts you never once called someone a *****? That's funny. Btw I mean't "you" as in "a random person".

    You just proved your misogyny. You used a woman's genital's as an insult. There is nothing negative whatsoever about a woman's private area's.

    That's the best you got? After starting this entire fiasco the best you got to come back with is "Are you on medication?".

    Lol leave me alone you perverted old man.

    The only posters I have had repeated problems with on here are You, Mr.KoolKevin and Galvatron. I actually like Galvatron as a poster and don't really get into name calling arguments with him on here anymore. So its just you and Kevin that habitually start sh*t with me. Not dozens of people like you are trying to portray.

    Get wrecked.

    So George Foreman is a giant? Was the Galveston Giant a giant?

    If they fit your definition of a super heavyweight then fine.

    Boxers who larger than their peers didn't face obstacles unique from their "non giant" peers.
    While some relatively unskilled fighters were able to compete by relying there size / strength this does not mean that we mean that there was giant learninggap.

    Foreman was a giant compared to frazier! And the galveston giant was compared to Tommy burns.. That's my take on it!! Lol

    Then how come when an example of a sub 200 lbr beating a super heavyweight, 80-100 years ago, is brought up the super heavyweight gets dismissed as being unskilled/incorrect technique. Its not even with just some examples, its literally every time!
