DOES IT SMELL LIKE BOTTOM FEEDER IN HERE?

I don't know what would possess a person who doesn't know anything about current events to troll in a political chat room. You'd think that if you didn't bother to keep informed on the latest twists and turns in politics, you'd be wasting your time trying to pretend that your opinion matters. A wise man once said, "Whereof one cannot speak, thereon one must remain silent." It's too bad some people can't take this simple advice. Let's take a look at how this conversation went regarding the Dubai ports deal:

"Haven't you heard that Treasury Secretary John Snow stands to vest 33 million dollars in CSX stock options if this deal goes through? Don't you think that is sufficient motive to tank the mandatory 45 day security review?"

"I own several fishing boats."

"Ooooook, what about David Sanborn, another high level executive for both CSX and DPW, who was appointed to head the Maritime Administration suspiciously close to the time this deal was being finalized?"

"I retired as a millionaire at age 44. I can name thirty seven different types of crab."

"So, you really have no knowledge of this port deal at all, do you? You're just wasting our time."

"You're a loser, and women find the smell of crustacean irresistible."

Well, that was just about it. Listen, crabby, if we want information about fishing, (assuming you have any) we'll let you know. But when knowledgable people are discussing politics, keep your mouth shut.
