> Have you received your doctorate yet? Do you feel that you need a doctorate to understand when you're addicted? That might explain some things. > That is such a simplistic view of addiction. So simplistic it holds no water. > I guess I'm addicted to food and water now. Chronically, it seems. Liberal arts major detected. I'm even detecting a hint of nigger. Niggers are the only people I know who hold graduate degrees in such esteem that they confuse mere acquisition with wisdom and/or intelligence. They're also the only people I encounter who insist on being addressed as "doctor" when they manage to get one. But, the kicker, and the tip off in this case, is that niggers with graduate degrees are often just as stupid as niggers with no degree save a larger vocabulary. They know the words that smart people use, and they can even repeat them like an African Grey Parrot, but it's a bit like chatting with an advanced bot ... you can just tell that they're not actually understanding the conversation.
