Was George Soros a Nazi Collaborator?

You do exhibit very poor grammar and spelling, and could benefit more from some PBS children's programming than from Fox "News."

How I choose to type something on the internet is my business, and I don't bother to spell check and grammar check everything I post. Next you're going to complain about my comma usage.

Your poor spelling and grammar reflect poorly not only upon you, but upon your idol Glenn Beck.

Unfortunately, I don't think that PBS children's shows get as far as comma usage. You might consider checking out something like a Sylvan Learning Center.

My Bachelor's Degree has to do with Computer Graphics Technology, with a minor in Computer Information Technology, and an unofficial minor in History. I'm not an English Lit major.

tech in his major 10 points for me

It was a 4 year Bachelor's of Science Degree at Purdue University.

Jake wins.

Well, my four bachelor's degrees--in Mathematics, Chemistry, Medicine and Law--all required the ability to write original work, in the english language, using correct grammar and punctuation.

The ability to write properly is not the exclusive province of the student of English literature. No students should emerge from secondary school, let alone from an undergraduate education, without the ability to express themselves clearly and properly in writing.

Who said I don't write more formally when I'm doing an academic paper? -- Cause I didn't.

This is a web board with rapid responses to posts, grammar usage doesn't have to be as formal. Furthermore, something can be grammatically correct and make absolutely no sense.

When the DSM-IV was published, Survivor Guilt was subsumed into the more general Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

From a medical perspective, it is a disordered state. "Survivor's guilt," is a medical disorder which is amenable to therapeutic treatment. It is not a characteristic of a healthy mental state.

Now, it might be perfectly typical for a person who has experienced trauma to present symptoms of PTSD, but that does not mean that it is necessary or desirable.

The fact he hasn't though could arguably mean he has a sadistic personality, think about what conditions could exist for someone not having exhibitted "Survivor's guilt."

The fact that Inuyasha keeps badgering Mr. Soros, long after we've acquitted him, could arguably mean that Inuyasha has a sadistic personality.

Now you are grasping at straws.

As for personality disorders, you approaching this exercise from the wrong angle. In order to find a sadistic personality, you must first see clinically significant evidence of presentation of those characteristics. But all you have seen is the absence of PTSD in a person sixty years after a known traumatic episode.

This is not a clinically significant presentation. So far, all you have demonstrated is that Mr. Soros presents a healthy, typical mental state. But if Mr. Soros presents a healthy, typical mental state, then what basis do you have to presume that a disordered state underlies that?

Yes, Mr. Soros might have a sadistic personality. He might also be autistic, left handed, be infected with XDR M. tuberculosis, have late stage non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and pernicious anaemia. But he also might be none of these things, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that must be the assumption from which we begin until we have meaningful evidence to the contrary.

First, you have improperly used an em dash. Generally, these are used in the middle of a sentence to set off a subordinate clause that has a more dramatic break in thought--like this one--than would be demonstrated by parentheses. It can also be used to indicate aposiopesis or interruption, but in that circumstance it would appear at the end of a sentence, not the beginning of the following sentence. An em dash at the start of a sentence will generally indicate interruption, but that interpretation is not supported by your text. Also, an em dash should be set closed, with no spaces. This contrasts with the hyphen which is generally set open.

Next, you have used the word, "Cause," when you ought properly to have used the word, "Because." Alternatively, it would have been acceptable, were you attempting to be colloquial, to use the contraction, "'Cause." 'Cause otherwise you look like you don't know the language.

Third, you have improperly negated your second sentence. Did you really intend to say that when you wrote academic papers you did not write more formally? I suspect that what you really meant to say was, "'Cause I did." But please do correct me if I am mistaken.

Finally, your sentences demonstrate lack of parallelism. Your first sentence is in the present tense, your second is in the perfect tense. Properly you should have written, "Because I don't." Alternatively, you could have included a subordinate clause to demonstrate that you were changing the time period, such as, "Because when I was a student, I did."



You are free to post here in gibberish. But if you choose not to be careful about what you write, then you have no one to blame but yourself when your meaning is misinterpreted. If you have the ability to use the language clearly and properly, it behooves you to exercise that ability.

George Soros has been the victim of character assassination by such hideous characters as Glenn Beck, Fox Noise and Inuyaha.

It has truly been outrageous. Glenn Beck and Fox Noise are nothing but scum.

Indeed. Soros was all of thirteen years old during the last year of the war. He was an errand boy for the councils the Nazis set up to control the Jewish population. I seriously doubt that a thirteen year old kid running errands had any ideological commitments to the Nazi cause. He was just a kid.
