TO add to everything jennofay and syc said...

While you seem to find my arguments incomprehensible and mere "blowing smoke" "off the hip" "half remembered slogans" of whatever silly phrase you choose next, it seems everyone else has no problem whatsoever, heck my "blowing smoke" shredded your farcical arguments against gun control. Once again I have to refute your petty name calling *sighs, I could be washing the car right now. I think (and feel partially vindicated by dham and syc, two of the biggest posters round here) that my arguments are taken seriously, and I’ve earn a bit of respect from most of the crowd, and engaged in long and interesting debates with a wide range of people, none of which have sunk to the lows of personal assaults that you do.

You seem to think that having been here longer gives you some kind of special status, personally, I’d like to think everyone here is an equal, whether it be their first post of the 1000th, and I’m sure UT would agree (sorry to drag you even slightly into the unsightly mess).

I would personally like to think I would be remember not by my typos but by the ideas and arguments I raised, sure sometimes I’m inarticulate, it'll probably improve a little because I’ve got allot more argumentative essays to write next year, if you don't like it, bite me.

. what is important is the individuals mental age

Thanks for bringing up this point - a big one, the internet is the great equalizer, age, sex, race, whatever are irrelevant, only what you have to say, sadly you seem desperate to cling to status symbols such as length of time you've been here or age rather than be judged by your words.

Perhaps he spent a bit longer polishing his prose. I doubt he tossed those words off into a dialog box and pressed "submit reply" without thinking about them.

Well, to start of with, fuck you. In the last microcosm of debate - whether all business is immoral, I started my point, repeatedly, very clearly, amazingly, dham managed to se what I mean, and agreed with me, and no one else posted any objections o what I stated, which was a model and a contention, yet you accuse me of blowing smoke.

If anyone is paying attention, they will likely challenge you to support your propositions.

Well so far quite a few people are paying attention and they all seem to think your arrogant, pretentious, uncalled for, holier-than-thou, nonsensical arguments are a pile a small steaming heap of dung.

When folks challenge your propositions, it may not be that they're pearls cast before swine. It may be that they seem full of holes to your readers; holes that they then challenge you to fill in.

which indeed I’ve done, wish you could get your head around that....

I spend large portions of my time debating, my views all have been tempered by this, tested time and time again by a wide mix of people, i don't make statements wihtout being able to back them up, i can't remember a debate on here that i've conceeded because i have no ground to stand on. The same applies to this.
