have you read hemingway? his vocab wasn't extensive. and, no, i'm not attempting to draw any such parallel between hemingway and myself. i am arguing that vocab has nothing to do with writing ability, at its core. grammar and sentence structure are far more paramount, when assessing a writer's ability.

would you say this guy is a talented writer?

I think you are making the error of conflating Hemingway's straightforward writing style with it being evidence of his having a limited vocabulary. Hemingway's grasp of the English vocabulary was obviously extensive and just because he refrained from peppering his writing with flowery language shouldn't lead one to assume he was lacking in that area.

Just be quiet dude. You're obviously lying about working on a Ph.D. Did you really believe anyone was going to believe that bullshyt? :heh:

Weren't you also talking about being a street dude and being locked up before the other day? Not that having a criminal record and working on a Ph.D in English are mutually exclusive, but you're telling some :duck: Anyone who reads your posts knows you ain't even working on a Bachelors from University of Phoenix in English.

Im dismissive because of his ideas, not ideology, but considering that his political orientation is known for half-assed social and cognitive reasoning I can see how you could confuse the two.

I tackled one point of his that was complete b.s...I could have gone through each position, but I didnt find it a good use of my time. Now if you want to engage in a mature discussion, Im game. If you want to step to me w/ the same trolling, childish bullshyt you offered above then dont waste ya keyboard strokes. I aint interested.

What the hell do you mean his "ideas?" You simply made a generic statement about him being a "right wing nutjob", then went on to dismiss his entire argument. This mind you is concerning the words from a man who RIGHT NOW is considered on of the most PROMINENT medical physicians in the entire world!

Clearly as a smug liberal I'm sure you feel his is an "idiot" or a "moron" simply because he doesn't hold far left views to say yourself or Rachel Maddow. Its truly pathetic and part of the reason many people don't take people like yourself seriously. I'm sure if he stood up there and demanded a social healthcare system and taxes should be raised on rich people to 90% to pay for it, you would be effusively praising him as some black icon. But because he disparaged your beloved Obama to his face, you cry like a bytch on the net about him being c00n.

So instead of trolling, why don't you explain what makes his ideas so B.S. anyways? Your first weak point you made about taxation being punitive to the rich is a HUGE part of the liberal agenda, and is part of the reason than they have been constantly accused of inciting class warfare. Anyone who listens to liberal talk radio and such can find examples REPLETE with people insisting the rich need to "pay their fare share" as if 32% is somehow unfair. Flat taxation is easily the fairest system yet its automatically dismissed simply because people feel the rich need to pay for the entire tax burden of the federal government whilst the poor pay nothing. Meanwhile the debt explodes further and further into oblivion!

So please, I know you consider yourself far more intelligent than people like my simple ass or the apparently "half-assed" Dr. Ben Carson, but please enlighten us morons on how your point of view is so much more superior than his or mine for that matter.

Uh, no. No one is jealous of you. You're just lying. You are not working on a Ph.D in English. You probably lied about going to jail too.

I write way better than you, I think way better than you, and you're still lying. If you're really working on a Ph.D, shut us all up. Post a pic of your Masters degree and your most recent unofficial transcripts which should be easily accessible online with your name blacked out next to a hand-written sign that says "kermit da hustla-the coli." We'll wait.

i'm not one given to exposing himself. no, thanks. and :heh: @ you thinking you're a better writer than i am. in this very post of yours, i can highlight two crippling errors that would see you suffer marks for poor grammar from any professor worth his weight. stop embarrassing yourself, breh.

="I'm lying" :duck:

What you mean exposing yourself? I said black your name out. All you need is the proper evidence along with a sign that says your screen name and the coli.

shyt, you can even black out the university and it'll still prove you have a Masters. That is unless it doesn't exist.

Yeah I have and I would describe it as minimalist style but that is different than saying hemmingway himself had a limited vocabulary

I will grant that a hack can also have a broad vocabulary and not be master of the english language, but I would strongly disagree that you can have a limited vocabulary and be considered a master of the English language

:lawd:

Exactly, the audacity of this frog to say getting a phd in English has nothing to do with vocabulary size. :pachaha: Hell as an English Phd candidate, he would be forced to learn the etymology and origin of the language, as well as analyze numerous novels and texts. There is no way one could do that and NOT aquire an impressive vocab. Meanwhile this so called "phd candidate" cant even string a few words together without using basic ass words and insults. Its laughable that this negro wants us to believe he is a candidate for anything other than the Obama shoe shining team.:bryan:
