It really doesn't matter they are apparently cowards who run away from things they can't handle just like the cowards who ran to Canada when they were drafted in the sixties.
Leave now and beat the rush we don't want you here anyway and take a loser friend with you.
I'm already one step ahead of those people, lol. Thus the rhetorical answer.


TT, you're comparing seniors that live on fixed income to draft dodgers, lol. I don't care which of those corrupt bastards get in office, I live out of country because it's financially sound. Whoa!!! I'm neither party, I'm smart.
Pretentious/bombastic? I believe the word you mean is ACADEMIC not rhetorical. An academic reply is one in which something has already been decided. Definition number 3 in Webster's unabridged dictionary of the English language is as follows:
"Theoretical or hypothetical. Not practical, realistic or directly useful. An academic question; an academic answer of a matter already decided"
The definition of a rhetorical question is as follows
"A question asked solely to produce an effect or to make an assertion and not to elicit a reply"
An example of a rhetorical question "what is so rare as a day in June"? it requires no answer. .
A rhetorician is a person who speaks in an elaborate or exaggerated style.
Rhetoric is the undue use of exaggeration or display; bombast
I ask questions because I want replies. This is not a rhetorical question. Than
k you for your response BSurf and Happy Thursday.
