about ken d.

You can’t always tell what I believe by the positions I’ll defend.  I like the mental challenge of arguing for either side of an argument.  This also reflects my belief that rarely is there a “right” answer to any argument when two or more thoughtful, intelligent people disagree.  When one or both parties are just parroting slogans or propaganda, not so much.

I’m a major fan of college sports, and will watch the pros during the playoffs.  I cheer for all three triangle ACC teams, and when they play each other I just hope for an exciting game.  A little trash talk is OK, as long as it’s witty and not hurtful, but I’m turned off by childish and repetitive comments.

hello, welcome to GOLO, thanks for commenting on my latest blog

ken...your posts show great wisdom, even if they may vary from mine sometimes, though usually not. You obviously are well read, and an sightful person. Thanks for making a positive contribution to my blogs, and others. Oh yeah, you may be one of the few here on golo older than me...I'm 57. Thanks! (call me Jack)

That's me Jack - older than dirt.

Hi Ken, thanks for adding your comments to the blog I created on conservatism and the abortion issue. You obviously understood my question wasnt really about the right or wrong of abortions but about wrestling the 2 concepts. However, I was pleased to see people responded so passionately though.

:)...re"If Jesus wasn't "white", what was he?"...No, I can't believe you asked that. :) But I guess if one considers the world in three categories, Asian, Black or White...But , it ain't , He wasn't and here we are. Again, these days, racial identity seems to be more political than scientific. It would looks to me like racial composition should be pro-rated. If you're 1/2 one thing and 1/2 the other, shouldn't you only get half of what a "whole" is eligible for? ;) Enquiring (small) minds want to know. You have a good day, and know I'm just yankin' yer chain. Have a Great Weekend!

Thank you!

At least the raiders ended up back in oakland!

didn't realize we kept score on these blogs. I noticed on your "America Divided" piece, you had 263 comments. The last three pages were basically a conversation among yourself, Huck, Feisty, Smoke, Old Rebel, Dayum Kracka and kiminem having pretty much nothing to do with the topic of the blog. Of the last 110 posts, only three were from someone else.

You wouldn't be padding the score now, would you? Ken D.

If you look at most of the blogs they tend to get off topic, I was surprised this blog stayed on topic, minus a few whiners..well one in particular.

I'm guilty of it myself, but will be less likely to engage in the future. I miss intelligent conversation. It's hard to find people who agree on a topic, and when they disagree it's hard to find people who have the diplomacy to maintain a civil converstation, myself included sometimes. It's life I suppose.

Thanks for your post!

Great comments!!! from a recovering Catholic

Good Thursday morning to you! Today is going to be a beautiful day. I hope you enjoy it!

Good Morning.....
