Hi! My name is Torvald. I like to drop in once-in-a-blue-moon for some hit-and-run trolling. I don't have anything to say, but I like to pretend I'm smarter that "the other guys". Someday I may actually contribute something useful, but don't hold your breath.

Actually TvM does contribute to other forums at Subsim. It's only when he hits GT that he shows his one-sided lockstep attachment to the far left. Just added that in the interest of fairness.

MSNBC did not do the study; they are merely reporting the findings. The veracity of the findings lie in the study itself, not the media reportage...just being fair about it...you know, kind of like "fair and balanced"...

Torvald von Mansee; Proving that Liberals are just as dumb as anyone else since 2006.

Given that it's MSNBC and they provided no link to the actual study and only a handful of quotes, mixed mostly with the reporter's opinion passed as news, I'll take the article with a grain of salt.

Magicstix's emotionally-based responses not withstanding, this is standard crappy trolling from Torvald and warrants no serious attention.

It is the canard: Conservatives are racist, racists are dumb, therefore conservatives are dumb.

Kind of like: Time is change and time is money, therefore change is money...

Um, wait...

Nevermind.

Chung Mee: Opium is my business. The bridge mean more traffic. More traffic mean more money. More money mean more power.

Lawrence Bourne III: Yeah, well, before I commit any of that to memory, would there be anything in this for me?

Chung Mee: Speed is important in business. Time is money.

Lawrence Bourne III: You said opium was money.

Chung Mee: Money is Money.

Lawrence Bourne III: Well then, what is time again?
