Subdeacon Joe Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 "of sorts" Seems some people missed those qualifying words. I see infomercials as con jobs "of sorts." Play up strengths, downplay, or ignore, weaknesses. Same for politicians. Just my view of it. Not unlike how so many people here view all Californians.

watab kid Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 ive revised my thinking of californians - seems there were more votes cast in my line of thinking there than any other state last time - they are just outnumbered and with the wagons circled still cant quite stand off the opposition , i think Fetterman and respect them more than in the past comments ive made - i retract , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Well, he is trying hard to lose me as well. He just doubled down on his bullchit statements. Then he went on to trash DeSantis. Is he trying to sabotage his career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 22 hours ago, Subdeacon Joe said: "of sorts" Seems some people missed those qualifying words. You placed “all” in the very front of the sentence, and in front of “businessmen”, and “are” right after it to link a definitive connection with “businessmen” and “conmen”. This choice of words is declaratory and accusatory. And very clear to understand. Tacking on “of sorts” at the end is such an ambiguous, ill-defined choice of words that add no clarity, understanding or context to the preceding words. Little to no subsequent remarks furthered any understanding of what “sorts” you were referring to. But what the hell does it matter? What “sort” of conman is better than any other whether a thief, a liar, a cheat or a slander. A conman is a conman regardless of “sort”. So, I don’t really give a rip about the last two words you chose as qualifyiers. Rather than humble yourself, you’d rather defend your position with an inference that others lack in reading comprehension. All we can do as readers is assume you understand the English language and sentence structure, and that that you related to us in words the clearest expression of your opinions and beliefs, based upon your reasoning and writing abilities. We don’t, however, have to believe you know what you’re talking about, nor do we need to stand idly by without calling you out on your bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
