Blind Willie McTell was blind, and he probably had done more reading of books than you will ever hope to achieve in your lifetime. Helen Keller wrote twelve published books, and she was blind too. How books have you published?

edit:
I meant to say "willfully ignorant," a term I heard Gavin McInnes use, instead of "willfully blind," a term I saw riseagainstrocks use.

lol yeah the guy who thought Trotskyism was correct in the 80s is clearly a towering intellect.

Never read Trotskyism, only maybe Anton Pavlovich Chekhov.

It just tells me that you don't think he's a moron simply because you agree with him if that's the way you think people approach things.

You can't get out of it now, I did the 2+2s, I know your intentions now.

Indeed, think what you will but I'm afraid I am ''coping out'' because, well...

I honestly don't care enough.

In keeping with the MB tradition of zeroing in on unimportant details, I'm afraid I have to come down on you hard here, ZFZ.

"Coping" is part of the verb "to cope," both words having a vowel sound that rhymes with "soap." To preserve the vowel sound in the verb "to cop," the -ing form should be spelled "copping," the same way the verb "to shop" changes to "shopping."

Obviously that's a violation of the NAP, but I think their aim may be a little skewed.
