An apothegm (a-puh-them) is an aphorism that gives instruction: "cleanliness is next to godliness," "haste makes waste."

An adage is a short statement expressing a general truth: “out of sight out of mind.”"

An idiom is a symbolic aphorism: "get off my back," "hit the nail on the head."

A truism is a statement that is obviously true and says nothing new or interesting.

I'll send you your honorary Liberal credentials as soon as Amazon carries them.

Another remarkably astute observation.

I'm glad you've got the tenacity, endurance, and smarts to stand up to these dicks.

In Africa they kill Albinos to affect political elections.

Folks are entertained by debate: they like to see a good "win," rather it's their team or not.

That's twice we agree. Are you feeling okay? Maybe it's me?

Great minds think alike.

That works too.

C'est la vie.

Lots of slam-dunks lately.

I'm with him.

That's a good attitude.

And you aren't a sanctimonious twit either. What kind of SJW are you anyway?!

Been there, done that.

Some people know how to be funny.

I don't even need to post into this thread: you got the reins.

Bravo.

I hardly ever agree with you but you're certainly on track here.

I must not be feeling well, both you guys are carrying the load here, and I agree.

Great triangulation.

Better but I've seen you hit slow pitches like this out of the park.

Oh yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about!

Wow, that was eloquent.

My apologies to anyone who thought I was referring to them. This thread is pretty benign, but I also post on more vociferous sites.

Dude, you made your point. Count it. Next.

Oh yeah, kick some ass!

Damn, that was well said too. Hell of a good debate going on here!

That's a very reasoned position.

I appreciate where you're coming from.

I'll check that theory out. (I think it's more than that but good call.)

I want to congratulate the well done posts.

Exceptional work.

Best all-in-one-place of show.

Who said this forum doesn't have a sense of humor?!

Okay, I withdraw. The arguments against my position are too good and I don't know enough about it.

Maybe you're just having fun debating and making whatever argument ties your opponent in knots?

I'm going to take that as a "fold."

Hey, you tried to get something going, there just wasn't any traction.

I don't know what you were planning with this but it sounds good.

Cool, I followed that. I don't agree but it was a good analogy for your thoughts.

Score: Blue team.

I'm proud of you.

Oooooh, that's good.

Dude, you're a monster debater (on the right topics). Poor guy never had a chance.

You got this thing Pitch Perfect.

You're way out in WooWoo Land but I respect your opinion.

Well spoken.

I wanted to post something clever but I can't top you guys.

You hit the nail on the head.

That's too damn reasonable to debate.

You're kickin' ass, dude. Keep it up.

Guy, I'm depending on you for some wry follow-up.

If you want to be serious on the topic, I'll do that too, but it wouldn't be as much fun.

I'm enjoying your posts. Very thorough.

Dude, are you trying to distract me with reasonableness?

Marvelously done.

I find the rebuttals to this thread intellectually stimulating, even though the OP is foolish/immature. It makes me want to engage (not the OP – you.)

Are you being reasonable again? You gotta stop doing that if you want to participate in this baiting thread.

When it gets right down to it - that was the appropriate answer.

I get the feeling you're somewhat entranced by the existential aspect of the debate. Good for you, man.

You're drawing a sophisticated line between the unique-thinking and the BS.

Keep carrying the flag; you're doing so brilliantly.

This is some funny shit.

That's better. (I thought you'd jumped the rails there cowboy.)

I assume you're still being funny? (Because that was funny too.)

Hmmm... Now, I don't think you're being funny. (But if you were - very subtle...)

Those first few paragraphs were absolutely understandable, and your live-and-let-live attitude is commendable.

I'm jealous: parlez-moi d'amour?

It's an impossible debate and you got sucked in. But your logic & tenacity were great!

That is a great deduction.

Don't try to word-weasel out of it: you took the other side of the debate, and you folded, but you're pretty good, let's definitely do it again.

That's an honest answer.

This thread is kinda beat up: let's try again the next time the topic comes along. Thanks, it was fun.

Great post.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

That's better, I'm proud of you, man.

Very good. In fact, very, very good.

I think I've posted with you before: you're right, of course, I agree with everything you wrote.

That's some pretty agile rhetoric there.

Anyway, I thought you were having some fun here? Not a lot of forums can do anything but catcall.

Damn, that was good stuff!

Dude, that was an awesome post!

Dude, I love it. This is the closest I ever got to having a discussion.

This forum because it’s the best I’ve found for feedback & discussion of provocative, innovative & unique ideas.

I saw a decent post from you recently, write in that tone here, right now.

I'm amazed at your patience with the dicks.

I just wanted to let you know someone else is reading what you write.

When I lived in a Muslim country I disliked Call-To-Prayer braying five times a day, not because it was annoying, which it was, but because it imposed their religion onto me, however, it was their country and I lived with it, but it has no place in my country.

As with all my thoughts about the subjectivity of human nature, I tend to view all answers as a Bell Curve.

Defense is always the correct response because offense requires being able to predict the future.

I'm giggly with anticipation.

Ba-da-boom.

Damn, you're right. Mark it.

Superb insight: damn, I wish I'd said that.

Okay, I respect that. We're cool.

Another insightful delivery.

Very well encapsulated.

I stand amazed!

You don't, by chance, have a prescription for atypicals?

Thanks, I'm happy now. You really earned your extra helping of attention.

Ya know, I made a seriously sophisticated funny and somebody elses gets all the play. Life ain't fair.

That's pretty good rhetoric. You must have spent a while composing it, and most people I would have simply blown it off but for you...

I just had to quote that.

I give. Next.

Why you been takin' all the good lines. Leave sumptin' for us slowpokes.

Cool. Carry on.

Dude, I am trying to give you a chance to debate. About half of what you said was pretty good.

Masterful prose.

I pick you for Liberal team.

Nice introductory post but from now on, think one-tenth that length.

Good analysis! Interesting to hear you come to the same conclusions as me on this when normally we're on opposite sides.

The debate point was never clearly defined in this thread but new OP so lots of slack: better next time.

Perhaps the OP would like to refine the debate point?

Okay, I don't agree with any of that but you only need to redeem yourself occasionally for me to pay attention.

You have the gift of making complex subjects accessible by cutting through the BS, so even though you deny it, you are "wise."

Good save.

I thought you'd say, "I could tell." I was checking what level of debate I would get from this forum. You came back brilliantly.

Very elegantly put.

I agree with all of this what is it we're debating?

Thanks for the thought patterns.

You're an artist with words.

I like it better like that.

Exactly my point!

Okay, peace, we'll go again in another thread that has a more specific debate point.

Good shit.

I'll keep you in mind when I become King-of-the-World.

I'm totally on-board with you on this one.

Good post.

Me too.

But still a good diatribe!

After rereading this thread, everybody seems pretty reasonable. I agree with everyone's position nuances.

You're probably right.

I totally agree.

You're good enough, you should try debating in a Conservative forum.

I love this forum: it keeps me entertained.

Without you, this would be a pretty one-sided conversation. Thanks for holding up your end.

I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not but everything you said is true.

Cool response.

OCD after my own heart.

I thought your arguments were persuasive.

I think you pretty much have this covered.

It's not like I didn't know your true motivations, but there's a lot of new blood here who might have been baffled by your bullshit. Well argued bullshit, I might say.

He does make good posts... Usually.

Nicely done. Is that original to you?

The "guns" side of the "guns or butter" debate. Damn.

You're playing it right, you're simply on the losing side of this debate.

I get it, you're excused.

Everybody seems to be in the same place on this issue.

You must have been reading my manifesto (or great minds think alike).

Damn, there's some good points being made here.

Nicely played.

Hey, you were the one who clarified the concept for me!

Nothing to debate, sounds like we're on the same page.

Good catch.

That's a pretty good riff.

Yep, what he said.

Revel in it.

There's great insight in this thread.

Damn, you're killing in this thread.

You can handle this but I can't stop myself.

Man, I can't touch you in this thread.

I doubt there's much light between the sides here, we just all like to argue.

I don't see a lot of immediate name-calling. And it's usually guys/gals who stay in a thread too long.

This is entertainment, not necessarily what we actually believe.

Not bad.

Glad to have you on-board.

You get a pass on having a different interpretation than me. (What's your doctorate in?)

I don't know if it makes any difference but you sound like every interesting person I've ever met.

You got game.

You give pretty good advice.

I don't even need to debate, he carries the day for me.

When someone wants to talk about education, I'm all in.

That sounds like an honest bet, I'm with him.

Even sock-puppeted, that was awesome!

Love your avatar.

He's crushin' it: I don't know shit about the subject but I love crystal clear debate points.

Don't worry, you're still my go-to guy for all things martial.

Watch him change directions: damn, the man is gimbal.

Give a little, get a little.

Welcome the forum, keep posting, I'll help out.

Hey, welcome, what took you so long?

Yeah, yeah, yeah: claim you're a soldier not a statesman, we all know.

Damn, that whole sequence was good.

We all have a subjective "I killed it!" attitude if the thread is good.

It's probably a good thing if both sides share the same feeling of victory in a debate.

Hey, that's a funny bit!

Entertainment counts!

No argument from me: I'd also like to debate someone from the other side on this...

Very interesting.

I like how you think.

Hey, you're still on my campaign committee.

Good jab.

I think you've hit onto something real.

Damn, when did you get reasonable?

Though I don't exactly agree with most of your argument, you've convinced me on some of it.

Okay, that's how it's done.

Agree again. (Damn.)

That's a supremely generous attribution to bestow.

I read this thread with interest and no disdain for either side.

It's gonna be a goody.

You should get a "Medal of Exceptional Merit" for providing such spiffy entertainment today.

You are remarkably pragmatic, even liberal, hell, you're as liberal as I am.

That's a pretty astute observation for a Can-A-D-an.

My fault for poor reading comprehension, I apologize for the subsequent ankle-biting.

Peace, my brother.

Once again I am going to give credit to who it's due, you.

I can't believe how reasonable this thread is. The fuckin' Conservative forums & Faux Noise are blowing their wads.

Europeans have too much contact with Europe.

The only reason I read your mostly despicable posts is because when it comes to Conservative thinking, you are almost always right: respect.

You got some pretty funny shit off tonight.

That is FABULOUS. Priceless.

That's a pretty decent insult. (You've always been good.)

There's a story here...

Ahhh, you inherited debating chops.

See, clever, clever, clever. (I love this place.)

Wow, that's quite a condemnation!

You exhaust me but I hope you're right.

This is some of the most pithy commentary I've seen on this forum is a while.

That's actually pretty cool. Damn, you actually earned my approval.

(*funny*)

Tie.

What's not to love about that guy.

That's a pretty good theory.

Hey, between us we handled this, and excellent rhetorical play.

Bingo!

Takes a Canadian to recognize the truth of the matter.

I'm here for entertainment & occasionally to get skooled on shit it turns out I knew nothing about.

Skilz.

This the most provocative thread on the forum, and I say that in a good way.

You got this; now I don't even have to post.

Dude, that was epic.

I'm not sure you know how true that is.

Ohhh, that's killer.

Uh, yeah... Perfect.

That was pretty fun.

You've got this...

Nice to have another thoughtful contributor onboard the forum.

It's a close call though & I only arrived at this position after reading all the great pros-n-cons from astute people.

So you were just egging them? Okay, I get that cuz I certainly do it too.

Like poetry...

You say it damn well.

Thanks for that. Nice personalization.

Okay, you convinced me.

Quit sweating it: there's nothing wrong with the forum and you ain't it.

Sweet post! (I forgive you for harassing me the other day.)

I enjoyed the nuance & wisdom of that post.

Got your feet wet: that the hardest part.

OMG, that's an awesome article!

You hammered it.

You can be on my King-of-the-World Advisory Board.

Okay, you're definitely in.

The postings here: this is how real people think.

That's a reasonable understanding.

You're kicking my ass on this, so I relinquish the soundbite.

Can you have that engraved in gold and sent to me.

(Dude, this is a seriously entertaining thread.)

You have absolutely no sense of irony but you get a pass because your insight & prose is top notch.

Starting with a list is good.

You're making a list, that's more than most people will do.

Stunning!

OK, you're right.

No walk-the-walk is required for this forum but I still admire folks that do.

I like that analogy.

Was that you?!

Right up my alley.

That is very nice.

Awesome find.

I'm good with that.

The women on this forum are awesome. Even the men who are women.

You seem very sincere in your question, and this is a sincere, sophisticated answer:

You're not far from the truth.

Because we're close to agreeing on this, I'll extend my explanation:

Your grasp of the subject is more than Rightwing platitudes.

I don't debate your points because they're mostly correct, but mine are too.

I'm not going to disagree with what you said.

I agree with that analysis.

He has changed the direction of his ship a bit: now he makes the same kind of arguments Liberals do about frivolous foreign adventures. That's the kind of attitude that gives a military person credibility with Liberals. I wish that same kind of mature wisdom would infect America's Neocons.

I love watching you work.

Foes List off.

See, that was funny. It was a net gain as entertainment for me. You definitely are NOT on my Foe's list.

Good on ya.

There have been some astute Progressives that I've debated with here.

See, this here is the advantage of Foeing: I can read your erudite debate points, hear the blows land, but I don't have to wade through the twit's ridiculous rantings & ravings.

Those are all good speculations.

Here comes the guy when you need him.

It's kinda comforting to hear that's your opinion too.

I like the political sophistication here.

Good follow-up statement.

Hey, I thought it was only me!

This thread is kickin' it. Funny, funny, funny.

Nice, thought-provoking post.

I think so too.

There are plenty of articulate, funny, entertaining posters on this forum, more than any other I've been on.

You speaketh the truth.

Great thread: spot on.

Good example.

Nicely put.

I love reading this place.

Oh, thanks, good idea.

Anyone posting to this forum is probably in the upper quarter of the population.

That thar's what we call a "home run."

It doesn't make any difference how the apologists & blame-mongers respond, you nailed it.

Oh, oh, hit him again. (Damn fine argument.)

Don't touch him, he's hot!

Nice, encapsulated argument: very informative & succinct.

Well done. (Multiple levels of humorous implications.)

Nobody ever said she didn't have balls. (Except her doctor.)


I'm just trying to manufacture some humor. I hardly ever disagree with you, so I turned it a little bit: you're right, of course.

I don't get the chance to be debating against you very often so I took it.

See, you're pretty funny when you're clever.

Thanks, we needed that.

A believer!

Show up in Washington, you can live with me, plenty of room, weather's great 8 months/yr.

Sign me up! (Where'd I put that credit card?)

That that is an example of a serious post that also has entertainment value.

I love it though.

There's a certain truth to this.

Almost exactly what I think.

Good rebuttal by the way.

I couldn't agree more.

And you're pretty civil.

That's funny shit right there, Sherlock.

You've gotten very sage in your old age.

I always liked that guy.

That's kinda funny.

Okay, I get it now.

Word.

Great story. Harvest that for your kids.

This writing will be harvested for a future novel.

Thx, I'm on it!

Just keeping the stream-of-consciousness going...

Adding that to my book as you read.

Hmmm, exactly....

Yeah, something along those lines.

That's a good quote, and quite true. Fits well into my "answers are easy: it's the questions that are difficult" paradigm.

You guys are still wrong but you made me work for it.

After participating in this thread, I'm going to change the script to reflect my line of argument here, which was better than my old position.

Your interpretation seems to be the correct one.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

After that, I've reconsidered my statement, and it needs a rewrite:

Put that in your quote bank.

I'm with you on this.

Guilty pleasure all around.

I'll call ya when I'm looking for somebody to bounce ideas off of.

See, he evolves.

BTW, you're doing fine.

Respect, your wit needs to be recognized.

There are some damn fine debaters here, and he's one of them.

You got me watching this guy: I never took him seriously but sincerity appeals to me.

That's interesting speculation, and you're a convincing guy.

Those rants are spot on.

Dude, we hardly ever disagree, and we probably don't disagree on this either.

Hmmm... See, we always agree. (You should have that checked.)

Lucky this forum draws in open-thinkers so I can dump my provocative BS out there to see if it sticks.

I grokked it.

Nice point.

Too many great posts: Off Foes list.

Nice unique argument.

Amen. Hail be unto him!

Wow, those were very gracious responses. Thank you for that.

You already convinced us.

You strike to the heart of the matter.

Touche'.

I'll let you carry this. (I'll come in if you need backup.)

We always disagree but I've never thought about putting you on my Foes list, so carry on.

You body-slammed the thread back on topic.

I'd hire you.

(I already hold you in pretty high regard just holding your own in this tough crowd.)

Well-placed post.

Okay, I can't beat that. I concede.

That's a pretty long dick.

Great story, Dog.

I gotta screen capture that. Fucking awesome!

Ouch! That was so good it hurt.

Add me to this perspective.

I haven't been agreeing with you lately but you're right.

I'm impressed.

You need to harvest your poetry-posts & edit them into a book.

Whatever you're drinking tonight, have it again.

Thank you for the good wishes.

I kinda like flip-floppers. You can prefer hypocrites if you want but don't expect Americans like me to admire your judgment.

A choice I too would have made.

I admit when I get taken down.

Dog, you been doin' good lately.

Very entertaining.

A very rare debating position indeed: I don't think I've ever encountered it before, and well-wielded.

I tried debating on another forum yesterday but this forum has spoiled me. (Even the twits are better.)

I was just pulling your chain but you didn't bite.
p.s. Good for you.

You have more patience than me.

Good shit, Dog, you should be making more pitches.

You make me proud.

[Martin Hash]

I'm not sure what your point is?

Slow night. Lots of doinks. You got anything to say?

It's like listening to the old guys who hang around McDonald's.

You're the one who needs to prove you're something more than a despicable troll.

If you help defend me from the tribe across the hill, and take care of your own business, I'll obey the laws we derived via democracy.

I still can't tell if it's a bot? If you are indeed a real person, send an email to me.

I think you've been cautioned several times about posting without reading.

Oh, bullshit.

I can discern facts without your help, thank you very much.

Have some experience before you speak.

Come on, baby, don't be deliberately obtuse.

You're why "Ignore" was invented.

Hmmm... Smart man like you must be putting me on?

You are aware you are ranting, right?

When you want some real debate, pick a defensible point and we'll get after it.

Personally, I never sock-puppet.

And how old are you? You talk like an OWG.

WTF are you talking about & where do you get your expertise & certainty in these matters?

The arrogance of that fucking statement defies measurement!

If you have some credentials, now is the time to throw them out there.

You're ankle-biting here.

Well, I personally don't read anything you write.

Dude, subtleties don't seem to be your strong point.

Huh?

You just sound old.

Post a picture of your 15-year old self, and your name so I can Google you.

Dude, seriously, take your dose.

No, really, active psychotic break going on here: take your damn Thorazine.

What are you debating? Me?

Write something tangible, for christs sake.

So, do you have anything real to say?

I've been, "you just don't know"ed.

I got something special for you too.

You need an insight breakthrough.

Your lack of insight makes debate impossible.

I'm going to say Aspergers.

I love the clarity of evil in your posts.

You just keep paying attention, I'll teach you how to debate yet.

Don't you know how to use Google?

Irony personified.

Let me guess: 2 years at the state college?

So, you give up? (I was having such fun.)

And...

p.s. Fuck you

Uh, are you an attorney? You talk like you are, except most of what you say is wrong.

Do you have any experience managing ankle-biters?

WTF, are you still talking?!

I'm going to help you out this one time.

You, I won't help.

I'm getting a serious "Teacher's Pet" vibe...

The ankle-biting is getting old.

What would you know about it?

WTF? Every single statement you made is a non sequitur.

Round to me.

You're a moron. Literally, I actually think you're a moron.

Drink lots of water before you go to bed.

[/free advice]

You are so sincerely clueless.

Dude, move on. You aren't made for debate.

I've already got enough ankle-biters, but thanks for offering.

Well, why don't you explain it, fucktard?

This thread smells like wet dog.

I thought I answered this? Twice. Is that why you posted it twice?

Thanks to you we can't use big words.

Let it rest.

Deja vu. I'll just let you read the last 50 posts endlessly.

Well, this thread pretty much got burnt down.

The pyro is here. (I can smell shit burning.)

Nothing.

I haven't seen anything noteworthy or even cogent from you so far, maybe just warming up?

So, finally lured you out of the shadows, did I? Red meat usually does the trick.

You're not very good at this, especially considering how often you post.

You are simply boorish.

That was word vomit.

Have you been drinking?

I haven't seen you do anything but kibitz.

The other posters in this thread are carrying the weight, you're just along for trolling fun.

WTF!?

Some kind of brain fart.

Sock puppet to hijack thread.

You're talking like a religious person.

Topic, stay on topic.

Who are you & why don't you write something with original thought?

What?!

Dude, you got Google, why make me waste 10 minutes by talking out of your ass?

Another dick who knows everything and can tell the future.

So what?

Sock-puppet.

Dude, I hope you're kidding.

And no more sock-puppets.

Dude, you're stalking.

Slow morning?

You're all over the place with your posts.

Obviously you're a shill.

Yikes, dude, did you get the wrong thread?

Dude, there're bats flying out of your ass.

What's your name, I'll look you up?

Okay, you can get back to me on that after the People-Who-Know-Better-Than-Me tell you what to say.

Coming around occasionally to insist you know better than anyone else isn't making any points.

Use Google for christ's sake.

Your opinion is worth nothing but I'm stilling willing to let you have one, which is more than you are giving me.

Walk away or support your debating position with something other than innuendo.

Was that a reply?

I didn't follow your logic?

Hey, I can work you in for a psych eval, call my office for an appointment.

Pay attention.

Complete poppycock.

I call bullshit. How many times do I have to call bullshit? I am drowning in bullshit.

Usually, I charge money for this kind of insight but for you, today, it is free.

I bow to your great knowledge & understanding.

How does your special power work?

Fait accompli

Is your sarcasm detector functioning?

Too stupid to recognize irony.

Is that a look-in-the-mirror-you-hypocrite argument?

Can you see why I'm grinning?

You didn't convince me the first time: perhaps you should repeat your post again?

We probably need a "military worshiping" icon on threads like this so someone doesn't walk in by accident.

There's always the "foes" list if what I'm saying hurts your feelings.

One of us is wrong: I'll chalk it up to lack of experience.

Your lack of life experience encourages you to hypothesize.

I was only sucked into this thread by the tired old rhetoric supporting blatantly sexist attitudes from another era.

Non-believers do read these threads & it is for them that I post.

Don't let sock-puppets manipulate you.

What happened to you?

Walk away from a thread if your getting killed.

I think a lot of our debates are like 3-blindfolded-men-describing-an-elephant-by-touch.

This isn't going to be a sock-puppet charade is it?

If you want to know who the supporters are, just look who says "welcome" in the new "I'm finally posting!" threads, and who posts in a dead thread of a first-timer.

Nothing I can't skip over.

I have no intention of pointing out your misconceptions, it's not up to me, no matter how immoral, unethical, uncivil, insensitive, misdirected, etc.

You're pretty fuckin' sure of yourself for a mystic.

Haven't I already changed your mind?!

I'm smiling 'cuz I knew you'd take this bait because you're a reliable pedant.

I'm glad you have an opinion.

I'm pretty good at rhetoric too but it gets old in a real debate.

I find you humorous in your cluelessness.

Finally, something interesting & insightful.

You're swinging the hammer too hard.

What's there to debate?

Cool, I'm being schooled by Dr. sock-puppet.

Google "straw man" before using it again.

I'll be your huckleberry.

There a lot of ass-fucking where you come from?

Weren't you paying attention?

Crush!

Ouch, dude.

Fuck you. (That's just a general "fuck you," no one in particular intended.)

Have we slipped into a discussion of morals because I don't debate morals.

This is why people get religion.

I've tried not to offer advice but you guys are makin' my head hurt.

Are you from on of those religions that send missionaries out into the world?

Fantasy.

Where does all your certainty & confidence come from?

You seem pretty cavalier about giving geopolitical advice.

You keep nipping, I don't know if it's on purpose or what?

Hmmm...

Little too much information.

Oh, my, aren't you the confident one.

Stalker.

Well, that went nowhere.

So, no, you aren't going to actually contribute to the discussion, only be obscurant.

I hate posers more than most.

Wow, you sure have spent a lot of time trying to discredit people who don't agree with you!

I think I understand your high post count.

Put me on your "Foes List."

Dude, don't make it so easy.

In Court you'll call me "Counselor" or be held in contempt. Since you use an alias, I can call you anything I want, "Mr. Fuckhead."

Continue your unsanctioned practice of law, I'll chime in where appropriate.

Are you an old man? You always talk with such utter confidence & self-assuredness. Normally, it's the old or ignorant that exhibit that kind of certainty.

That may the be the 1st time I've ever heard you say anything insightful.

Pedantic, supercilious, and never clever or humorous, let me guess: Asperger's?

Says the guy who doesn't have a Smartphone.

Courtesy? Rudeness? What is this, a values discussion?

What hoey.

Wow, that's presumptuous.

I appreciate you playing the Straight Guy.

Your understanding of human nature far exceeds my own.

Are you debating something?

Walk me through your logic.

Are you sure debating is something you want to do for entertainment?

That's your point?

Grasshopper, we have much to discuss.

I'm getting the feeling you're either old or Asperger's? That's okay, I can lay off.

It would be helpful if you just stated what it is you're thinking; it's tough to read your mind from my car.

I'll leave the bein' smart up to you.

I got me sum foreigner tellin' me how to think 'cuz he knows better'n me.

Dude, you're an ankle-biting troll, but I'd debate you if you actually made a point.

Of course I dissed you.

Is pop-psychology something you spend a lot of time thinking about?

Are you translating that from your own language?

Can you really read my thoughts from there?! Wow, that's amazing.

What was it you said you did again?

Do you believe in ghosts or 9/11 conspiracies or magic water or something kooky?

Do you believe in "chemtrails" or something mystical about reptiles?

When I can tell what you're saying, I disagree but I still debate, but most of the time you're so vague there's nothing to debate.

Your sarcasm has to be better done if it is going to survive here.

I think you're trying to be sarcastic but it's hard to tell. If you're serious, there's no need for me to respond.

Google "hubris."

It's embarrassing to read someone who does not comprehend nuance.

Watch and learn.

Okay, let me explain it to you:

Did you just type that or was it a random word generator.

You haven't taken up Pop psychology on the side?

Is this ain't your 1st rodeo, feller?

Hmmm, sounds like the Values Police are here.

I'll debate you but I have no interest in vicarious debating through you as the interpreter.

And quickly we see the disadvantage, and boredom inducing, tactic of dueling links.

I can tell by the personal insults that you're changing your mind.

So you're sayin' if I see an overweight white guy strapped in Burger King, it ain't you?

Sometimes you have to speak in baby-talk for people to understand.

You need to write the dialog for the bad guys in Batman movies.

How did this thread splooge?

I know you say this ain't a sock-puppet but I prefer to think it is rather than an off-med schizophrenic.

See ya in another incarnation.

You got hurt by friendly fire.

You can't pretend ignorance & expect to debate with me.

Oh, I think other posters pretty much handled it for me.

Dude, you got all sides of the spectrum against you on this one, walk away.

I am looking for a new line of work? What is it you do, maybe I should get into that?

We'll work on it.

I try to lay off you but sometimes you get on my nerves.

Gee, how did I know?

So that's a "no" from you too?

Dude, I lay off you because your “disability” is obviously mental.

Let me run with this logic:

Probably not you going by past postings.

Don't you socialists have any place else to go?

You have to make sense first.

You're a complete fraud.

Quote that.

Where the fuck do you get your science?

Did you do 1st year Med School or not?

Hey, I saw your were right one other time, I shoulda flagged it.

You know you play into my "half of the people are incompetent" meme, right?

I'm done doing all the work here.

Fuck nincompoops who want to argue outa thin air.

Dude, you don't have to always have the last say, just walk away & get me with something clever next time.

At some point you're going to need to flash some kind of credentials or expertise for all your ad hoc sophomoric advice?

It was on the page without the cartoon, or maybe you got distracted & started chasing butterflies?

We all know bots have no feelings.

Oh, so you are looking to increase your legitimacy? Whatever works for you, anything is better than what you got now.

"Win-win-win"?! Jesus, were you in the airport & bought a "How to Succeed" book?

You think the sheer volume of your posts is the key?

I didn't state the obvious because I thought people could comprehend.

Is English not your 1st language?

You are inferring facts not in evidence.

You are constantly making associations where none exist by assigning your own personal value system.

You're so lame you owe me money for being such a douche.

You have no chance of impressing me.

I'm missing your point?

Are you taking ankle biting lessons?

Everything important you need to know, grasshopper, I've already written.

Wow! Projecting your self-righteous, sanctimonious BS thick today.

We all don't live to your value system & are judged by you. In fact, fuck you.

Self important asshole

I didn't think I'd hafta learn ya like this?

It's time to stop stalking me. I thought you were just trying to be clever before but you've kind of crossed over.

You are probably the worst debater on this forum.

One less mouth to feed.

We must be interpreting modern times differently.

I've moved on, I'm cleaning gutters now, and I need someone to hold the ladder: you available?

It's easy to tell when someone has a vested interest in some particular pov, and won't go away when they have clearly lost the day.

My advice to you is go away (and come back again another day).

You write good shit in lots of threads, just walk away from the losers.

I can't remember once leveraging a debate off your proclivity to self-promote.

Any discussion with you is pointless.

I thought you promised to leave this forum if your prophesy failed?

R U drunk?

And you need to take your medication now.

When you're in session, doesn't your doctor counsel you against paranoia? Don't they always ask, "have you been compliant with your medication?" They can tell, you know, just by what you say.

Maybe call a family member to come over and comfort you?

He is either a damn elaborate sock-puppet, or he is clinically schizophrenic, and my bet is that he's already under care but not compliant with his medications. (Notice how he has spurts of this behavior.) Ignoring him during these episodes is probably the best.

No compromise possible.

Hey, if you're a Progressive, just say so, you may be someone-who-knows-more-than-me, but don't say things as if they're debate points rather than ridiculous peevishness.

I'm so fuckin' tired of self-righteous cunts. (And dicks.)

You're debating yourself. I just cuffed you one 'cuz you were in the road.

Energizer Bunny fails.

Make me a "foe" now before you waste anymore time.

Dude, I can tell from your signature line that you are obviously blind to online debate etiquette. (As if I couldn't tell by how you debate. Sheesh.)

How long do you have to wear the ankle tracker?

It takes some supreme confidence in oneself to make a public statement that is obviously negatively demonstrative of one's cognitive powers.

The vast majority of people (I don't speak for all people, just all the ones I've ever met) would find that statement ridiculous on its face.

What? I wasn't listening...

I don't know if you're foreign or just another uninformed American?

Morality & humanity are subjective terms, so that was a little naive of you, however, you're excused for any disappointment you feel towards people in general.

Thank goodness you're here, or you'd have no contact with provocative people at all.

Dude, just stop.

You're like a Fairy Godmother? Or a Truther?

You coulda been funnier than that.

You wouldn't just be talking out of your ass about something you know nothing about, would you?

You should probably attend at least a year of Jr. College so that you don't stand out so much.

You need a refresher course in debate.

Anytime you have a kneejerk reaction to what I write, first consider whether I was intentionally trying to lure you in just for the fun of it.

Maybe learn to masturbate with your left hand in case something happens to your trigger finger.

I don't want to be mean but I'm just tired of reading your stuff.

I sure as fuck don't care what you have to say, you clueless twit.

I don't recognize you as an authority on anything.

The psychobabble isn't interesting; get back to writing something clever.

You are a despicable troll.

Dude, take the hint.

You guys have got to stop quoting the fucktard.

What are you doing buzzing around this shit?

Don't we have a real debate going on in another thread?

If you're not an attorney or CPA, why the hell are you giving legal & accounting opinions vs. people who are?

I got your "expert" right here, buddy (holding crotch).

Stop being cavalier with the words "we" and "our:" you don't speak for me.

All your counter-arguments are simply moral posturing.

Your mom's calling. She wants her worn out indignation back.

You're the kind of odious troll "ignore" was built for.

I certainly have less idealism than you.

And what expertise or appeal-to-authority are you using that I should read any damn thing you have written?

You insist on the debating fallacy that only plumbers can debate plumbing.

You type too much.

Every discussion we have, every comment we make comes back to the same thing: I'm getting dizzy.

Okay, I'll help you learn to debate.

Was I talking to you?

Lame.

You're a little dense, aren't you?

Dumb.

Are you flirting?

I actually don't know how my dog got into this fight?

More likely, orneriness.

You're gonna need a grammar checker.

You, sir, have been Pavloved.

Your response is knee-jerk reactionary, meaning you have been trained by a segment of society to say those exact words.

This thread sucks; try again.

The trolls seem to be really biting on this one.

If you want to have a debate, you need to make a statement that can be debated.

Snide, unoriginal remarks after you've had a few drinks just seem random.

I almost agree except for the weird shit.

Dial back such creepy rhetoric.

Dude, I just saved you $1000s and cut at least a year off your sessions.

This troll shit gets old.

Those arguments are logical & rational, which people aren't, especially religious people.

I'm not really trying to be rude here, but, guy, I don't think you can tell the future.

Go ahead, you can mention Hitler and Nazis if you want.

Dude, that thar's some supreme misplaced confidence.

You didn't need to type that whole obscurating word-salad: you could have just said, "Martin is correct."

Dude, writing a lot with an air of superiority does not make anything you say more noteworthy.

What a lame allegory.

Do some calculus for me right now then we'll talk about it, until then I don't care about your theory of differential equations.

The obliviousness of that statement astounds me.

Don't get sucked into this, we'll debate for real later.

You don't even know what happened to you.

Reload, shoot again, try and limit your text to one debating point at a time.

What the hell was that?

I read almost anything but this was pure f**kin' bullshit.

What? You think I can read your mind?

There is definitely some fuddlement going on. I suggest you take a Centrum, practice sudoku to keep your mind sharp, and get plenty of sleep.

Gag.

You have word diarrhea.

Dude, I've seen automatic arguing programs generate this kind of garbage.

There's no point & nothing to debate.

No Straw-man arguments, please.

How do you know what I will and will not do?

I reject that narrative.

Did you just take something? I'm trained to recognize cognitive changes, and there's a lot of rambling happening.

Look me up when there's some indication that your advice is worth following.

Special Pleading.

Using the dictionary, or some other form of generally accepted reference, please show how you derived your meaning of the word?

I hope you're being facetious but I will answer as if your PC meter is pegging.

Whoa, I hope you're making a funny.

That's both ad hominem & reliance on authority.

Please get back to the debate topic.

This is now a dick-measuring contest, but you wanted it.

OMG, are you using that old canard?

You needed to whip this out several posts ago.

First I'll cite my authority then you explain how you are an authority.

Yeah. Why am I not surprised?

I thought I'd done teached you bettern' that.

Dude, it's all a matter of perspective. How do you measure up in a Big-Dick contest?

Dude, I would love to debate you but you haven't ever written anything that wasn't brain-dead. If you have a mental illness, just let me know and I'll lay off.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do with this? If you ever do say anything coherent, I'll chime in again.

Get your head out first then lay off the dick pills.

Make a statement I can debate.

That's dicky, but keep trying, I'll nudge you here and there to keep you on-track.

You have now edited a previous post way beyond its original content. Bad superstitious person.

Dude, I wrote you off long ago. This thread only continues because you're entertainingly ridiculous. (The fact that you don't know that says it all.)

This statement is absurd on its face.

It's not your views that are taking a beating, it's your insistence that others have to abide by them.

This thread is at 56 pages and you're is still banging keys... OCD. Dude, talk to a mental health professional.

If this is a joke post, I'm laughing with you - 'cuz it IS funny. (Please, let it be a joke post...)

Talk to your doctor - a simple SSRI often works.

A tiny bit of depression once in a while never hurt anyone but you might still want to try an SSRI (under doctor's supervision). They're mostly harmless.

I'm going to guess that you like computer games so you should follow this...

I'll take that as a victory.

Are you just arguing because you have nothing else to do this morning?

Please, somebody tell me he's putting us on!

Uh, yeah. I do all kinds of ludicrous things: talking to you, for example.

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Just because you wear jackboots & watch old war movies doesn't make you the expert.

You're a little wobbly on the point of your post. I know, I do that sometimes when my asshole gets ahead of my mouth. Perhaps, dial down the satire and write something resembling a debate.

You were doing okay until you dropped your pants.

Dude, "objective" is a real thing, get used to it.

I'll let artsy-fartsy types ramble on&on endless, I'm used to it, unless they enter my realm. (Evil laugh.)

How is this even an argument?

Hey, are you an interpreter? It would be cool if you could decipher the forced sarcasm code? (You're not using forced sarcasm, are you? I'm new to this.)

Don't you pile it on too or I'll have to hurt the guy's feelings.

Guy, don't let me manipulate you so easily. You can get back into this discussion by adjusting your position when I make a valid point, then go at the chinks in my logic. Stop repeating the same tired old crap.

I'm not trying to one-up you or anything but where do you live and what do you do?

Not trying to be rude, but I'm curious as to whether you've thought this through?

Here's where you and me differ:

I respectfully suggest it would fail but this is actually your thread, so I'll just butt out about now.

You have quite a tolerance for hypocrisy, what line of work did you say you were in?

Dude, that would be on you.

Keep quite while the mature people talk.

It's like talking to a kid.

Dude, I gave you a try.

Yikes! Don't put yourself in bed with him.

You let the jackboots roll you.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Are you talking again?

Hmmm... My opinion of your opinion is devaluing rapidly.

If you want to be tossed in with the likes of Sarah Palin, just keep talkin'

Dude, do you have to have the last say? Would it help if I told you "I give,you're a genius”?

You have relentlessly justified that under the guise of "law" but you're not a lawyer, you're a guy who posts too much on the internet.

Show some frickin' wisdom.

I wish I didn't kinda like you, you seem so damn endearingly naïve.

Sometimes you are so bipolar.

Oh, damn, and you were doing so good.

I think you only pretend to be such a dick.

Dude, this is the Internet, use Dictionary.com.

You haven't climbed up to the level of "debate," I'm just slapping you around.

I know, it's embarrassing to get maneuvered into checkmate. Get some slack next time and you'll find the debate a lot less adversarial, but maybe that's what you're looking for? It would explain the bipolar aspect.

You're not a recognized expert in the field, you don't provide any references, and there is no context.

Another dick with no concept of debate.

Did I call for you? Next time I want the Haranguing Elf, I'll ring the bell.

Dude, just roll with the punches. I'm trying to be entertaining but you're taking it way too seriously.

You worry too much.

If you're open-minded then I expect you to ruminate on our discussion.

Well, whatever's coming out certainly doesn't make sense. If you aren't following the thread, go start another one.

Shoo, shoo little fly.

Whatever floats your boat.

As if we all haven't heard this shit a 1000 times.

There's 49 other states out there, not to mention the Whole Wide World, fly away, little bird, fly away.

Are you still pitching this crap?

Dude, you should never play poker.

Did you just declare victory on an aircraft carrier?

If you want to play, you gotta be able to keep up with the other kids.

You don't seem to be able to play?

Blah, blah, blah. Are you just trying to run up your post count?

Dude, are you supposed to be working? (Your boss may need an Internet filter.)

Wow, lost my attention.

Dude, did you really respond to that? Can't you recognize a rhetorical statement, or are you one of those guys who always has to have the last word?

We've got another doctor in the house: this place is lousy with them.

I don't think Washington is big enough for the two of us.

Talk to your doctor about schizophrenia.

Sorry, that was kinda outta bounds. (But it was funny.)

I'll lay off you, just don't come at me and we'll be fine.

Dude, you better be an attorney? But for other people, who might not be attorneys like you and me, I'll answer.

When you confuse the two you end up with the kind of bullshit this thread is lamenting.

You obviously don't have enough doctorates.

If your emotional state is so fragile you can't take some harsh words, dude, see a psychologist.

My scenario would only make you envious.

Assuming you are for real?

We all know what "assume" means...

I'm always fascinated by a popinjay.

Marxist chiding? Really?

There's 51 minutes I'll never get back.

Blah, blah, blah, bullshit.

Dude, post your name, I'll Google you.

Yikers, smikers, did that hit a little too close to home?

Guy, I don't know who you are, nor why you would think I would take advice from you, about "morals," "dog shit," or anything else.

I am interested in your opinion, and any valid debate points you might make, but if I wanted legal or lifestyle advice, well, usually that's what I get paid to do.

Do you do anything else except pontificate?

Where does your expertise come from?

Okay, I'll bite. You show me yours and I'll show you mine.

Is there something special about you that would add to your credibility?

I'm not convinced but admirable try. At this point in a debate you might try an "appeal to authority"? Are you an attorney, business consultant, or involved in Human Resources? Is there something special about you that would add to your credibility?

Quibbling.

Examples of your family, while heartwarming & impolite to attack, simple distract from the debate.

Dude, you blather: it's not about you.

Just so we're clear: you won't play by the rules unless they suit you, debate over.

Way too subjective a question!

In other words, I don't believe a f**king thing you say.

Dude, it's up to you to support an unsubstantiated opinion stated as fact!

I'm going to need you to provide some creditials if you're going to make sweeping statements about a specialist field. (I often hear auto mechanics & such pontificating on law & medicine.)

Do you need a hug?

Bravo. I can't believe that post came from YOU!? (You can take off the Dickhead hat & come out of the corner now.)

Hey, I put mine out there. What's your idea

I'm uncertain what expertise you have?

Yikes, dude, you better be a goddamn expert.

You don't have Asperger's too, do you?!

You too. Tell 'em I sent ya.

Uhh... You couldn't have made your post more ironic.

I have more to say but it's probably over your head.

Dude, I clicked your link...

Here, look at my lips closely "B-E-L-L C-U-R-V-E." That wasn't so hard, was it? Maybe you could pass High School but I'm not so sure about going any further...

All the other experts please give me your opinions.

You have almost 25,000 posts?!

You wasted your credibility.

You can't convince me this isn't an Onion article.

At some point ya jus' don't need no mo' money, and you do other things, but you probably don't know that...

I've been laying off you but, dude, if you're not qualified to be an expert, don't be.

Mystery solved!

My experience with people who claim your beliefs has been poor.

Keep me posted when you think a good argument comes along.

Are you tying your certainty to scripture?

Is there something you were going to say when you accidently posted?

Neocons can usually debate but you're straight troll.

You always talk with a sense of authority, what is the origin of your confidence?

Are you trying to debate mystical extrinsic manifestations of femininity vs. masculinity?

I know you were too busy to Google for yourself, keeping up your underground law practice and all.

You must have had a revelation from God. (I've heard you get those if you pay your tithing.)

Did you just appoint yourself the arbitrator of what's "good" in civilization. I thought that's what elections were for?

Your posts often lament lost morality, and claim Western culture is mired in its own turpitude.

Speech away.

Dude, just writing a bunch of rah-rah, apologist shit isn't going to change anyone's mind.

Wow, that was tough to read.

We have said what we want. You rejected it. Why are you still talking?

The very definition of conservative.

Besides the rescue complex taunting, what do you got?

Show a little critical thinking.

We've all been around the block, put a spin on it we haven't heard.

Tell ya what, why don't you show the same level of 2-sided views as other people in this forum.

Dude, you're, like, strung out today. Maybe tomorrow?

So, “fuck you, I got mine”?

Have you ever thought about seeing a professional about your envy, spite & resentment? (I could schedule you into the Free Clinic if you're afraid to go for financial reasons.)

I debate for fun. I'll debate the ill-informed, the ideologs & the bad-tempered, but I won't waste my entertainment time on the stupid, pedantic, or mentally ill. (That's what I do at work.)

I wallow in my pussiness. I'll leave the big cocks to you.

Ow! You're being mean to me. Don't you have any of those big, bad debaters to wrestle with.

Don't take the needling personally: whatever works in a debate.

He stops insulting me, I am magnanimous: debate rules. You, on the other hand, may be in need of a good thrashing.

You did notice that you offered no predictions or solutions. It's like saying the current situation can continue forever.

I could pick apart a couple other little things but that's too much writing and too many topics in one post.

More like Isle Of Misfit Toys.

Wow, what kind of people do you hang around?

Dude, just quit flying to the rescue so hard. You got some prognostication skilz, let them speak for you.

Just joshin' ya.

I've been watching your drivel for 20-or-so posts now, and I've left you alone 'cause you're new, but, damn, man, it's time to show us the money: what makes you such an expert?

Simply dial back the certitude, and ask a question or two.

The guy is a parody.

Those posts are so outrageous, I actually considered it might be a bot, or maybe mental illness, or maybe he's laughing at us all for taking it seriously?

Guy, all you gotta do is lighten up. I keep trying to have a semi-normal debate with you.

Now, What about you?

I'm not insinuating anything, I'm just warning you.

Guys, my dick is getting cold. I'm putting it back in my pants.

Sorry if that was too cryptic, just returning the favor.

It's something you can practice by debating here.

Stay and learn, grasshopper, then when you go back to your regular forums you will be awesome.

What was the debating point again?

Psychobabble from people who are talking out of their asses.

Now it's a circle-jerk, but there was some good info on the way here.

Dude, it's people like you why I'm no longer an "atheist." Go proselytize someone else.

BTW, I'm only sharpening my claws.

There might be a better country out there for you. Ever look to emigrate?

I leave the sanctimonious morals-mongers to themselves.

I'm not sure you're following the concept.

Luckily, you don't make decisions for me.

It's not my fault that you have no subtly.

If a thread is getting on your nerves, walk away, dude, because we all do this for fun.

Long as you're having fun.

Continue that thought to get where I am...

Every time this guy posts, he makes my point for me.

How could there ever be compromise with what appears to be mental illness?

Really, the guy probably has more in common with ISIS.

I'm not trying to be dismissive, but what are you talking about?

Whenever this guy talks, it's Newspeak.

Seriously, to me you seem mentally ill.

WTF. Dude, post like a real person.

Didn't you learn how to debate?

Why don't you contribute something clever?

I get tired of all the slapping.

Where'd I put my testosterone? I think somebody may need to borrow some.

The 1st question you should be asking your pregnant wife pregnant is, "Which of those hunky college sophomores were hanging around my house 10 weeks ago?"

That thars sum controversial shit!

He's runin' you guys around the barn. He can do this forever. But maybe so can you?

"Impartial"?! What dream world are you living in?

I'd love to get in on this but I don't debate religion or slavery, and certainly not religion justifying slavery.

All we're hearing is an endless repeat of words, perhaps in a different order, but no new thoughts.

Because everyone is exactly the same & we can predict the future & the people who fail can all be put in jail, those are excellent ideas.

Why do you keep doing this? You get a couple people reading your stuff then ruin it with name-calling.

We've heard that screed before.

Did I just read a tirade from somebody who knows all and can predict the future?! Dude! Dude! Quick tell me the $300 million winning lottery number, I'll split it with you.

Somebody's been reading too much Tolkien.

Oh, yeah, I "just don't know," so I should listen to you 'cuz you're the plumber 'round here.

OMG, another blind parrot that's never done the math!

Wow, aren't you certain! I hope someday to have half your self-confidence.

It's like Sesame Street in here.

[Martin Hash]

This thread is a lure, that's not a real person.

Let's race Ferrari's when I see you at the next conference in Monaco.

At times you seem interested in real debate, but recently you're just combative.

Debate someone else for awhile, they'll be nicer to you than me.

Psssst: we're discussing something here.

Start a thread called "Fascism" because you seem to be an expert.

Google "fascism."

Okay, let's get our dicks out:

You should read your own citations.

Isn't debating fun?

Are you fuckin' quoting & interpreting scripture?! How ironic is that!?!

My response was subtler, but good try.

It isn't up to you.

Damn, you'd think my 3 Doctorates would be at least equal to 1 self-righteous twit?

Do you get your authority from your cat? (I think we've identified the problem.)

Yikes, this is an embarrassing thread coming from a veteran poster.

Yikes, all I can do is be rude at this point, so I'm signing off this debate.

Your posting history makes me suspicious that pharmaceuticals are involved.

I'll take that in the spirit of submission.

Spoken like a true rah-rah novice.

Totally off-topic, rude, and way too personal.

One down! (But he's Canadian so it only counts as a moral victory.)

Did somebody mention "setting fire to the debate"?

Rather than trying to burn this discussion down, why don't you offer a solution or two?

So you admit your idea is bad?

Ding.

Where are you from? I'll redirect my remarks accordingly.

That's the wrong kind of analysis.

What are you suggesting?

While I recognize your urge to come to the rescue, notice the post before mine was redacted. I was actually rather restrained in my response, a kind of warning that caused the poster to reconsider.

Dude, in all respect, it's not up to you to pass judgment: you have no deep insights, you have no moral authority, hell, I don't even know what competencies you claim? The very fact that you do it exposes you as a Conservative. I, on the other hand, am licensed by The State to judge you.

You probably want to leave bashing up to someone else.

He isn't always wrong.

Score! (I can always tell when it's a Kill Shot.)

Really, what are you thinking is going to happen?

Dude, you posted way too much on this. (And I read it.)

He is a debating fiend, mostly on the opposite team but entertaining.

Those other personas are becoming tiresome.

OMG, where do you find time to write all that shit? Or do you just copy & paste it from some "we rule cuz we're awesome" sycophant website?

Dude, you usually do a lot better?

You say you're serious, funny, I'd never noticed.

Watch how they post; those are winning debaters.

Your King-of-Irony title is safe.

I can NOT believe I agree with you?!

Are you trying to convince us that Socialism=Liberty. Dude, I just don't need anymore Newspeak from you today.

I gave you some really clever analogies without being insulting, or supportive of dickheads. I've seen your posts, I know you get it.

I just thought he was joking. Why would you marry the cow if you can get the blowjob for free - or something like that.

He pulled a novice, dickhead debating maneuver but I guess if you're going to save him, I'll lend a hand.

I'm onboard. You start the wheels rolling & I'll forward any questions to your office. What's your email?

That's what we're discussing, Right? How.

What's up with you?

Obviously a matter of opinion or perspective.

What is your debate point?

What?! Please explain.

Okay, so you're nobody, done nothing.

You are unwilling to provide any supporting evidence of your competency.

I have a much lower opinion of "human nature" than you do.

Friend, I think you're missing the flavor of this thread: try again but crank up the irony.

Is there something in the water today? Let me help out:

Your schizophrenic postings usually dissuade me from engaging with you.

You can espouse any ideology you want, but in all honesty, you should change to something you can defend.

Pick your battles better, you were already ahead before you weren't.

Confirmation bias.

Dude, maybe I'm missing something important about you? Where does your expertise come from? Perhaps you have more experience than I've been assuming?

Do I have to repeat myself?

Not to be combative but I've read at least 4 proposed solutions in this thread, none by you.

You learn here. You plan here. You wait here. I'll tell you when to talk.

The vein was worked out.

Blue vs Red arguments are a waste of time.

You always swing at the slow-balls.

The only conclusion is that most people are not Critical Thinkers, and simply repeat what they've been told.

Are you predicting the future? I thought only Conservatives could do that? I heard it was because God tells them.

Never heard of 'em; tell me the closest Starbucks & maybe that will jog a memory?

The "Royal We" part clarified your position for me.

You first: where do these facts lead you?

Now there are two things we agree on.

Not a lot of 1% in this crowd.

I'm typing this on my phone as I walk down the ultra-busy streets of the South Bronx, so tell me how hard your life is again.

So, what about now?

I'm actually arguing on the opposite side of what you're thinking I'm arguing.

You're good in other threads though.

There are folks on this forum who actually support this kind of shit? I'd like to hear their argument,
really, I would.

Dude, we don't know anything about that poster! Could be Marxist? Could be kid? Probably a sock-puppet.

I think that poster/sock-puppet is the only one in this thread actually advocating reverse-slavery.

If we start mass indoctrination, I want to be on the committee that decides the agenda... Unless, that is, you want that job for yourself?

Just debate rhetoric, not personal.

“Mystic” is the snide way of referring to a religious person. (Intentional name-calling for debate purposes.)

You have significant powers of oration when it comes to race-baiting.

I'm making plans for the rest of my life and if you & Dick Cheney are going to take over, I'm moving.

How many times have you said, “I agree,” never?

You're a retired lawnmower repairman or some such.

(Pssst: "lots of knuckles" is a reference to male masturbation.)

I think you got what it takes to be here but think subtle: more clever, less hammer.

Dick Cheney, a populist, whoda thunk? Fascism or bust!

Come to think of it, I heard that about Canada.

So I'm thinking there are no “Young Earth”ers who participate in this forum?

If you're going to get involved in evolution debates, you need to at least become sophisticated about the arguments. (Clue: it ain't Jesus vs monkeys.)

Now that's debatable.

You & I spent a week arguing this last time.

In this crowd, obviously none.

Your side was weak: I go where I'm needed.

I call this kind of debate an "audioillusion."

Yeah, semantics...

Yeah, that's me: no life experience of different perspectives.

What's the argument against this?

Non-loaded question?

Thx 4 yor suport. "Marty."

Dude, just own it.

There's obviously folks who post here that know what the hell they're talking about, but you?

If you've got another scenario, I'm interested in hearing it.

Pick a thread and post something short and original to you.

Yeah, right.

Dude, you brought it up.

Libertarians get manhandled on this forum, don't take it personally. (What don't kill ya makes ya stronger.)

Send me a postcard. (You can Google my address.)

Or Google “Snopes”: (Not too difficult for even the dimmest blub in the room.)

Speaking of discrediting oneself, it might be advantageous to you simply to observe for awhile.

I'm just playing the game: insult as debating tactic, the more finely aimed, the more effective. He can take it, he seems impervious to outside events.

As you well know, the dumb ones don't even know what's happening or what to do about it, and the smart ones adjust their fire.

What are you prattling about?

The poster is too much a caricature to be real.

Was that whole thing you?

OMG, a Snopes denier.

Cave now, change later.

Offer some action, everyone else is.

Hey, we were talking about me!

You are too irritating for other serious debaters to endure.

Your incessant weaving & dodging is an example of the subterfuge used by the other side in this debate, and why we should be diligent in our demands for clarity of the options.

I may just be ruined from being around you for a while.

Actually, I was encouraging you to continue your dissembling.

Do you think anyone here is agreeing with you?

Dude, as a debate tactic, a well-dropped credential is killer. (You'd know that if you had one.)

Well, if you ever want to be a Liberal, I'll help you out.

That's Dr. Martin D. Hash, Esq. to you, fuckhead.

In the meantime, you can peruse my "Ask A Liberal" Facebook page. If you have any questions, ask there.

Those damn Liberals, trying to change the status quo and can't even do that right.

Have to use your Real Name and be able to link to irrefutable proof though.

If I yelled, “hey, fucktard,” would everyone say "yeah" at the same time?

We were rudely interrupted in this debate by Mr. Fuckhead.

According to your profile, you're either a liar or ignorant.

Yeah, and you've never Googled me either.

But no list, why? Suspicious....

It's interesting as a case study of avalanching, (overwhelming an opposing opinion with copious repetitive posts).

This is still the best Avalanche thread I've seen since the 500 page atheist thread.

This avalanche bullshit is only possible on the Internet.

You're talkin' like your opinions are universally held?

You're good but you can learn from how I worked that thread.

Dude, ask for some tips on subtle insult.

If you were really hip you'd be watching “BoJack Horseman.”

If you don't like it then you don't like it, I can only make recommendations of things I do like.

I recommend all the experts who know more about computers than I tell me about it.

But, hey, you-know-better-n-me.

You are so full of shit.

You can't fool me: you certainly don't have a smartphone.

Sell that shit, quit your Day Job. (Obviously, you don't know anything about entrepreneurship.)

And now you know why you don't know shit.

Enough talking: the arguments have all been made.

Dude, both sides have made their point, and you didn't have one.

Don't worry too much about it.

That wasn't directed at you.

Well, when it comes up, you can vote, just like I did.

Enough about me, the late-great, but now doppelganger, Dr. Martin D. Hash, Esq.

Ignore him.

Damn, there's an amazing amount of theocratic expertise in this thread! What about you? What makes you a Jesus expert?

You do get the irony of quoting the Bible in this thread, right? ("Everything in the Bible is true," so sayeth the Bible.)

Yikes?! I'm not sure I like where this is going...

Dude, really, that's creepy.

You're clear out on a limb here.

He is a prick.

Sorry about making you type so much, I was just jerking your chain. (Next time, smiley)

You don't like the tactics, don't play.

It's unfortunate that is your first 100 posts, you spend half of them vs someone who can twist your head off.

I still don't know what you're saying?

If you're going to question someone's integrity, back it up with facts. If you're going to go after someone by name, use your own. So far you've established no credibility here.

I don't particularly like people who don't like Southerners, and if it was up to me, you'd be in jail, or worse.

Did you just say something totally competent?

Cool quote but Thomas Jefferson never said that.

Dude, you pretend like you haven't read my solution multiple times; how dishonest.

I'm debating the point, what are you doing?

Dude, you ran off and left me debating myself. (Folks thought a mad person was talking to himself.)

So we use debating for purely personal reasons, so what?

Dude, with only a tiny bit of searching, you wouldn't have to embarase yourself.

Of course you did, like you should have done in the first place.

No amount of opinion will change my opinion until some substantive information appears.

Says you.

Guy, how is anyone to respond to "growing the fungus of government dependence"?

People 'round here don't know it from Shinola.

What, you don't think I know you're a do-gooder?

Dude, I'm waiting...

Same to you.

Okay, it's me, I'm immoral or whatever.

Are you still trying to deny people the vote?

Cool, when do you start?

Hmmm... Probably something you shouldn't advertise.
We do agree, you're just reading it wrong.

That's just the kind of hysterical, alarmist article I was referring to.

Dude, you're repeating the alarmist bullshit.

Point me to your opinion, or just type it here & we'll get after it.

I'm all over it.

Quotes are a bitch.

I could say something profound too but I'd just be making up a narrative, like you.

Straight up debate thread: watch & learn.

I don't know what you imagine because I don't know you. I can't Google you because you post under an alias, however, you can Google me, and I speak for myself.
Often, being a "nobody" is an advantage.

We're debating: you do your job well, I'll change my position.

I gave a specific example of how a good argument changed my position: your turn...

By going at me, who supports your position, you diluted your argument.

That's good but it has no impact against me because we agree.

Oh, if you just want a free education, use the search feature of this forum and read my other posts on this issue.

Jesus, what the hell happened to this forum?

Cool, I look forward to your support in the next debate.

Lots of liars.

I call 'em like I see 'em: yours I didn't see too well.

Careful what you wish for.

You're gonna need some special DNA-targeted smallpox but if the rash starts on your face then spreads to your torso, you know who to blame.

Stay out of clock towers and you'll be okay.

Give your doctor a call, we can genetically target that shit now.

Now the bigger bullies are here.

Dude, you were ahead on points then suggested killing people?!

The irony is that I lay off you because you obviously have a psych disability but then you go ahead and call an air strike on your own position, you fuckin' loser.

Dude, you're where the religious kooks get their ammunition.

Somebody was conflating the two issues, perhaps it wasn't you, wait, after reading your post it seems it was you, now I don't know how to respond?

Listen, dick, it ain't up to you, you don't decide whether someone is happy or not.

I happen to have 3 doctorates & 3 Masters, and self-made, so yeah, I think I know what I'm talking about verses 100 idiots like you.

Okay, defend your credentials, fuckhead.

Run for office then comment.

What the fuck is your problem?

Is that the best you were able to come up with?

We'll if you're busy doing other "handy" things... But don't do anything that would hurt your masturbating hand or you'll end up like Bruce-Caitlyn Jenner.

The following is a highly sophisticated, nuanced position, so take it as you will:

Wow, a spaceship rocking-horse for the grandkids! Sure can tell you're Gen X.
So two people with lots of experience have different opinions, imagine that? The difference is I'm not trying to force mine onto you.

As for the money: hey, let me at the problem, I'm a trained & licensed accountant.

Do you take your Martini mixed or stirred, Mr. Bond?

I think we're agreeing? You better proof that to make sure it's what you meant.

Dude, this is a terrible thread. Please don't resurrect it again because there are those of us on this forum who appreciate it.

The irony of this topic is inexhaustible!

What controversy?

Cool, then I expect you to negotiate between liberty & collectivism. (I suspect you'll end up a Liberal.)

Racist.

Blind, self-centered mutterfukkers that can't even tell when they violate their own self-claimed ideology.

This IS the SJW thread.

Oh! Oh! You got profiled, now you're a victim! It must feel goooooood.....

You got profiled, bitch, and now your dog got profiled too! OMG, your family gets all the breaks.

Scrolling through a long thread is made even longer by all the inanely large avatar pictures & images in the signature line.

Probably not what you were hoping to hear.

No wonder you post anonymously.

There's a bunch of Russians making Facebook accounts right this minute: "Give me monez or I will have 100 peazantz sayz terrible tingz about you!"

First thing I'm gonna "review" is those two cunts running the “Yelp for People” site.

Just sayin'.

Yowser!

Shit happens.

I have to post the same thing every time we have a debate. (Luckily, I keep the text file handy.)

When I first joined this board there were still a lot of defenders of the 1%. What happened to all those guys?

Anybody with a halfway decent debate line counter most 1% arguments.

I'm gonna go with my funny retort even though your response was lame.

Right now I can only put the "solution" out there.

Some other items I've said many times before:

Review this thread.

You're obviously not American: you'd get tarred-n-feathered for saying that.

Of course I "won."

It dawns on me that you don't even know what we're talking about?! Read up on it.

Perhaps I think that's a load of crap?

It says it all.

You're providing cover for the religious folks.

You're seeing things.

When it gets like this, the only thing there is to do is vote. (My vote will be cancelling your vote.)

Okay, put-up-or-shut-up: what is your claim to expertise?

What are your degrees & industrial recognitions, or do you just listen to the people-who-know-better-than-you?

So, none.

Dude, you're okay with an aristocracy: fine, we can leave it at that.

Here's the rub:

That thar's some pretty simplistic Conservative shit.

Well, don't just sneer, type something.

But he's an enjoyable debate partner, and you're not.

From my book:

However...

I explained it in layman's language, and provided links, nuf said.

I just stick it out there.

Of course we know it, this thread is all about hubris.

It's easy to snipe.

You oughta know.

(Pssst. Maybe you should ask the moderator to delete your thread?)

You like how I did that?

Like I said, I'm not squeamish.

Whoa, boy, you're gonna get me started!

Could you quote where you found that?

There's a technical meaning for the word "idiot," but I'm using it colloquially on you.

Are you calling 60 elderly?

I'm pretty sure everybody here knows all that stuff, so what was your position? And defend it.

So, you're here trying to drum up votes?

I'm not aware if you know any of what I've written, it didn't seem like it from your post, which is quite nonchalant & lacking in specifics.

I don't care if someone is a fuckin' socialist, but don't besmirch the name of a famous freedom patriot.

I'm a Liberal Democrat: I can certainly recognize sneaky Progressives when they pop their head up.

That argument is absurd.

The air is so thick with sanctimonious self-righteousness I can hardly breath.

What point are you trying to make?

I still don't know what your point is? Would you like me to guess? Something to do with reparations? You're a shill for a stateless international corporation? Self-gratification in your private sense of superiority? What?

What? Are you a lawyer? Better backup claims like that.

Bullshit walks.

Well, since the unfounded claims of the pretend-attorney never materialized, I, an actual attorney, will provide the facts:

Dude, when you're getting hammered, just walk away.

You think anyone reading your shit is fooled by being intentionally obtuse?

You still read me?! I thought you ran away?

Click on my name and hit "foe." (I thought you'd already done it, fucktard.)

Read upthread, I already covered for you. No need to embarrass yourself further.

I can't be bashing around other Liberals too much but you're the exception.

This is a debating forum. If you can't debate, don't post.

Something has to give: I can predict what that is but I don't have the inclination for a long, sanctimonious, useless debate.

You're making my point for me.

How many fuckheads do we got in this thread?

Your endless spams are filling up the thread.

You know, I'll look in my portfolio: I may be making bank on that.

Will somebody take this guy out already?

People posting into this thread have no fucking idea what's going on.

Okay, you know everything, hate on govmint, what do I care?

You haven't earned any cred yet, or ever.

Look, me & Talkzilla agree on something!

I assure you I am not being sarcastic.

Sorry if I'm a bit skeptical.

If I had any respect for your intelligence, I would thank you for the advice but remind you I didn't ask for it, however, I think you're a twit, so fuck off.

Walk the goddamn walk.

It's like a twit gang.

That's very close to something I said but I never used the word "intelligent."

I'll engage with a moron occassionaly just to get a cogent thought stream out there to counter the idiot.

I provided a solution, you claimed some kind of insight into my psyche?

If you'd like, I can use my professional training to look deep inside your secret motivations & submit a report to the State?

Oh, does your certainty trace back to a burning bush? Or perhaps people-who-spoke-to-god? Or are you from a family of supreme beings?! OMG, that's why your comments are so familiar.

Don't be insulted if I don't recognize your grandma's qualifications as a fount of "morals & ethics" wisdom.

As a general rule, I don't talk trash about someone's ma but this was so tempting. However, it's played out: say "hi," to your mom for me, it was just in fun.

I am a foreign dignitary & my Ferrari has a Ferrari.

Dude, I don't want your money, what little there is of it, just send your balls if you have any.

Don't you play chess?

If it's okay with you, I'll just keep spouting nonsense: you can sit quietly & listen if you want.

Way too much drinkin' & thinkin' going on in this thread.

That was the reference.

Well, think before you comment next time.

Uh, I actually have the degrees & accolades.

And that's, Dr. Martin D. Hash, Esq., PE, CPA, USPTO (but it's not funny unless I say it).

I can't respond to that guy, he drives me crazy.

Were you thinking about me again? (Dude, it's a complement & everything but I'm married.)

Claim diminished capacity and use your postings as evidence.

I'm good at it, and I think you suck.

I'll show you how precious I am...

You'll know it when it happens.

Reading this thread, I obviously have no idea what civilization is?

You know, I looked up "civilization" & "civilized" online & IRL, and I couldn't find that definition.

I was wrong: not a goddamn thing happened.

Dude, you're why there's a 100 post break-in period but I make sure a guy's got at least 101 posts before I rip off their head & shit down their throat. That's a free post for someone to say any damn idiotic, ridiculous, half-assed thing they want to.

As for the OP, the argument presented is very weak.

Really, Dr., I just don't know a damn thing?

At the risk of repeating myself:

You need to do some serious research. (This is a real recommendation: you don't seem to have that background.)

The reason this forum can survive without moderation is because it's so fuckin' difficult for a dickhead to get anything started but I didn't say impossible.

He is definitely on my Foes list.

I am not trying to make fun but I suggest you make no other uninformed observations on what "pussified" is.

I actually don't know if we were debating anything?

You said some stuff, I added some clarification, and now we seem to be on the same page.

In case you don't know:

I find it telling that so many of the folks in my Foes list want to emigrate to Canada: we should do a poll.

I'd get in on this but Canadians ripping on Canadians about socialism is too precious.

Me no like spammers. Dead them.

I just wasted my time reading all that.

The "rebuttals" are no more substantial than the points they are supposedly rebutting.

How ridiculous can this exchange get?

Someone has gone postal. I'm not going to mention any names but...

I'm thinking you're a sockpuppet.

You don't want to get on my Shit list.

Winner of Most Stunning Piece of Relevant Information award.

It's your thread, type what you want.

Here's some free advice:

He's not running an extension course here, he's just debating his side of the argument.

Que sera sera.

I don't have your kind of predictive powers.

Hitler?! Damn, boy, you got your own rhetoric problems.

Get your anonymous ass outta here.

You brought it on yourself. Back off, regroup, try again.

Amateurs beware.

I happen to support much of that stuff. Wanna call me"Hitler" too, fucker?

Well then, fucker, I'll be your "Hitler."

I'm not even sure if he recognized I was calling him names ironically?

Fuckin' hypocrite, you post anonymously.

Hmmm... That statement right there, that makes you an amateur.

If you don't find it exhilarating, debating may not be for you?

I advised you to back off & regroup; I advise it again.

I put s/he onto my Foes list after his/er first post, that's how obviously foolish s/he is.

My Foes list is long.

I still think bot. Look at the weird posting dates, and the response seems very parsed.

I'm taking with a chatbot: "Hi bot."

Interesting religion but don't be projecting it onto me or others who don't share your mystical leanings.

What's the point of this conversation?

He was flashing something bright & shinny in my eyes & and I wanted candy.

That you are: a regular Adam Sandler.

Did somebody say "snarky"?

Brain fart excused: resume previously sane argument now.

Simple rule: don't.

Quit quoting: I have that dick on ignore for a reason. Fuckin' loser.

(Uh, like I said.)

Link please?

I thought we'd covered that?

"Hysteria"? "Paranoia"? WTF?

Dude, have you noticed that's it's only you that gets snarky?

Do you have insecurity problems?

Why do you keep saying stuff like that?

Normally, I could ignore your judgmental crap & just pay attention to the few times you were interesting, but the forum got a recent infestation of sanctimonious twits, and I don't have it in me, so Foes list.

Ask for a consult if you think you've gone schizophrenic: I'll let you know if you need an atypical or rather you simply have to sleep it off.

For now.

Busted. (And that kinda looks like me.)

And if it happens tomorrow? And what about the next day?

Dude, did you just give up? (I know 3-on-1 can get a little scary.)

Why do people keep posting to this thread? If you feel offended, there are other options.

What? Did you think I was kidding?

Are we back to this old fallacy?!

Award for most ridiculous post today.

I can carry my wife around in circles - in both directions!

Jesus Christ, are we still discussing "The 300"?

I'm goin' crazy here! This is America, make your own choices & go to Reddit or Twitter or handjob-talk-therapy already.

What happened here?

How dare you say that!

I'm offended by that comment!

Did I mention he's got this? (If you need me to take him on, you'll have to ask because he's good & it would take a lot of effort.)

I didn't mean to drive him off, I was just helping out the newby.

Dude, I was just funin' ya.

Seriously, you've been up too long, get some sleep.

I'm just here for shits & giggles, you're no fun mentally ill.

Oops, I see you're a new poster: forget this post. Welcome.

You're a new guy, you don't want to tie it up with me yet so I'll be letting you alone now.

I'll keep that in mind while I eat my caviar and wait for my free Windows update to install.

You delude yourself.

He doesn't play poker or chess, nor games like "Monopoly," nor has he ever had a business, but he
speaks with the confidence & self-assurance of the ignorant.

I been working this thread in the background while updating my forum with some cool stuff.

And there we have it, in your world soldiers shoot the protesters in Guy Fawkes masks.

Canada. God save the Queen.

Kooks.

We have a 100 post amnesty so that this doesn't happen to newbies.

Let me say this plainly because my words might seem confusing.

Hmmm... Debunked rumor. (But I kinda liked it.)

This is full-blown hysteria.

As I've said before:

One troll has hung a whole thread. (I foed this sock-puppet after it's 1st 9/11Truther post.)

Maybe this time?

I'm thinking you weren't the ad's target market?

Here's the deal, guys:

You want me to give up my Ferrari? What are you putting up? Better be your house.

I still got my 100 bucks out there...

How is it he disappears and FuckFace shows up? Hmmmm...

Aren't you the one who wants to force people into the military?
Aren't you the one who is against women having control of the own body?
Aren't you constantly moralizing & passing judgment?
Please, tell me how my description of conservative does not fit you?

Your hypocrisy of only allowing special people to vote is prima facie anti-democratic. Your conservative passing of judgment is obvious.

What you're seeing now is a backlash to that.

Dude, you know other people read these posts and you come off as a ranting lunatic.

You don't seem to have anything liberal about you?

If you just want to vent, that's okay, but if you'd like to debate, you need to link to a specific article, or quote a specific post you're debating.

Why do you keep interjecting political Parties into this? It's not in the OP & I've never mentioned them.

So what's the problem again?

Where are you going with this?

That's poetic but bullshit; just say you agree with my analysis.

Here's a cookie. (See gratuitous meme of cookie.)

Hey, you want to sell me your wife for a night?

That's why I'm also an advocate for self-paced education because for some folks, such as yourself, it takes a little longer.

I've preached on this before:

You may be right? Let's hear your argument.

All the folks attacking whining Millennials on this forum should re-aim.

How's your "education and specialized skills" working out for you, big guy?

Damn, you must have had a charmed life.

WTF?! Don't you read either?

My kids are gonna own your kids.

I've explained this before:

I'm going to give some unsolicited advice:

Fuck you. That was Part A, Part B is more controversial...

Think I'm wrong?

Just to offer a different perspective:

I'll take it a step further:

Wyest-Myn-in-the-Wyrld explanation:

You need to read closer, dude. I laid it out for him & he didn't fuckin' act like a dick.

Warning! Teacher-Hugger to the rescue!

Dude, money is already going from me to you: you're on Disability.

That's your opinion.

I guess only your opinion counts.

Exactly, YOUR fuckin' opinion.

Autocrat.

I can understand why you don't understand but try anyway...

Just rattling your cage.

Dude, that was targeting you: I know what pushes your buttons, ya old codger.

p.s. Be careful of the "p.s."es.

That almost merited "Foes List."

Keep up with the rest of us, son.

Get outta here.

OH MY FUCKING GOD!

You don't happen to be a landing-on-the-moon-was-a-hoax person, are you?

We landed on the moon: that was fucking 1969 & it cost billions.

HEY, whadaya mean it's all downhill from there, that's when I joined!

What? You think you're going to talk a PE PhD under the table?

I'm not sure what this argument even is? From an engineer, no less!?

I'm going to give you a pass this one time because I suspect you've been drinking.

What R U, a caveman?

Of course it doesn't.

The people presenting these arguments are just taking us over the hurdles with insincere, ridiculous sniping.

I'm imagining you're worth it, but couldn't force myself to imagine anything but a loser.

What?! You too?

I'm having trouble understanding why your think there's some kind of problem?

Sometimes ya gotta think for yerself 'bout dez tings.

A lot of rhetoric comes from you. (And me.)

It's like you "get it" but pridefully won't capitulate to my better argument. You're excused.

Let's be clear:

We've got lots of space here, go for it.

Machiavelli gets my respect, and if we're talking Machiavellian, I'll get all Machiavellian on your ass.

I'll take that as agreement.

Cool story, but didn't I already say that? Yeah, looking back, that IS what I said.

Hmmm... I wonder how you missed that?

I thought I was being funny?

The following is not intended to be argumentative:

There's half-a-dozen twerps on this forum who keep threatening to swell your ranks. I wish they'd go soon, and please take a bunch more loons with them.

That's the only truth in your assertion.

That's what makes it ironic.

Dude, you don't have to be so literal: you got my point.

That's what I been sayin': your turn.

That was kinda funny, I'll have to re-evaluate: humorous but lacks irony detector.

You don't have to thank me; I'll explain irony every time if you need it.

R U calling me a "mook"? (I kinda like that.)

How is this not obvious to everyone?

That's incredibly selfish of you, deciding what is best of me & my children.

I do NOT think you know-better-n-me.

This is obviously something that can only be decided at the ballot box: my vote will cancel yours, so it's up to everyone else.

Autocracy as far as the eye can see.

I'm glad you got what you want: lucky you.

Are we really going to have the "who has the biggest dick" comparison? You should know my dick is bigger than yours, and all your neighbors, and the people you work for, combined.

Dude, did you just bag on flying cars?

It's like talking to Conservatives.

You're usually quite liberal, what happened?

Is this like a "you can't build that" argument?

You'll never convince me, and visa versa.

The reason you hear the idea so much is because you're not the only person who's ever noticed the problem.

WTF?! It's like Newspeak coming out of you.

I'm speaking from a very sophisticated POV:

In that case, I'm the expert here.

Dude, this is a rational argument: is there something specific you'd like me to address from my post?

You simply refuse to consider anything else: no further conversation necessary.

You would know these things if you had any training or expertise on the subject, rather than spouting something you read on the internet.

Are you a teacher because you don't seem to be paying attention.

You, of all people, must know that...

The Word Police are here! I was wondering when you'd show up?

Well, at least we agree on this point.

Definitely a glass-half-full situation.

It's not like I'm the only one who thinks this way?!

Here's my pitch:

Cool. Start a thread and I'll post into it.

You've expressed the real debate: I'm on one side and you're on the other, and bare-knuckle politics will work it out, including lying & misrepresentation.

You surmise you know what someone said in an interview without hearing it, claim your unsubstantiated expertise in god-knows-what, and drip your sanctimonious venom on anyone who objects to dogma: sounds like religion to me.

Dude, don't pretend to be debating if you're not going to debate.

If the shit's gonna hit the fan, watch the fan, watch the shit, and be ready with paper towels.

What is your basic point? (Keep it short.)

There's plenty of room for snarky humor, personal foibles, random brain farts, etc., but leave the debating to the Big Boys/Girls.

I, and others, have posted our solutions into multiple threads but there's little or no discussion, why is that? If you've got some concrete suggestions, write them down so we can discuss them.

Watch how he posts on this topic: very typical obscuration because he doesn't want to reveal his true intent, then if anyone calls him on it, full Saul Allinsky Rules #5 & #12.

My problem is I have too MUCH experience with "scientific" studies. (Hell, In another thread you & I are literally debating whether "science" determines whether a person is male or female, and we both say we're on the "science" side.)

You're running this topic into the ground.

Now. Go. Do it. Offer some suggestions on what to do about it.

What? Chase ghosts? What are you even debating?

I've tried to get this thread to get back to the real issue.

I agree with most of what you said. Most...

You sound like an Antivaxxer.

If we can't discuss it here then where? Like eugenics.

But, hey, what do I know?

It's not like I'm saying anything here that people don't already know.

Hell, I'd fire you.

Some of those sock-puppets are really well done; very difficult to detect without the error having them argue with each other to make a point no one else cares about.

Time to go Night School.

I've addressed this before:

[Martin Hash]

I don't have to provide you the sweat off my balls.

Now, it's your turn: prove to me you're worth fucking reading...

I, of course, couldn't give a rat's ass.

I’m not trying to be rude but so many people are just talking out of their ass, repeating dogma,I need to know I’m not wasting my time.

After you leave brain droppings in the forum, someone has to clean up after you.

You're the one who posted fucking bait. Luckily, I'm here for the save.

Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

At least I’m giving you a heads up.

I hate to say balderdash to such excellent rhetoric but "Balderdash!"

R U listening? Doesn't seem so, and I don't like wasting my time talking to teachers whether they are at "work" or posting to this forum.

I was just rattling your cage: you and I almost always agree, so I was looking for a sliver of debatable daylight, but you just snuffed it out.

Someone please let me know when Grumps can carry-on a rational debate.

You've been vouched for so you are again free to potentially pollute my debating experience with ridiculous & pedestrian arguments.

Remember, you're on probation...

Failed probation.

I'm not even near the meanest one here.

I wish folks would just start with this so I can "Foes List" them immediately.

I think we've determined this thread is just mental masturbation & sanctimonious hair-shirting.

See, that doesn't make sense. At least the BS story I heard is logical.

I don't know...

You people are choking on your own tongue.

Wake me when you're through mentally masturbating.

Hmmm... Folks are going to think you're my sock-puppet...

Okay, now you?

I didn't ask you why I should listen to a goddamn thing you say, but now I am: who the fuck R U?

Did you write it? If not, fuck off.

WTF?! You haven't made one goddamn demonstration of your own expertise but you question mine?

So you're nobody, don't be embarrassed, a lot of poor debaters are. You should follow some of the more successful ones here & get some pointers.

So we're going to be in competition for who's the funniest guy, huh? There's a couple other hooters in these threads too.

I was trying to gin up something entertaining here. You showed such promise... Maybe next time?

Oops, hit the wrong target. Poor aim on my part: I meant "sanctimonious posturing" twits that start threads like this.

I think I'm dizzy from the oral illusion. It's like reading George Lakoff.

Is anybody else getting the irony of the diversity twit arguing with the S&M female?

This forum is full of people I don't think you guys have jobs.

Well, that's where we disagree.

Yikes, you really do advocate The Final Solution.

Watson, I think we've discovered the problem.

You know my thoughts on this issue.

Hey, what can a say, I just-don't-know, and you-know-better-than-me.

Conversation with you is over.

You really should have some experience before talking about things of which you know nothing.

These long threads only debate phantoms, which make them unsatisfying & frustrating.

Perhaps a more balanced approach would have a better chance of debate success.

You're full of shit because you won't debate the real issue.

Just to reiterate something I've said many times:

It's a big, tricky, preconception-laden subject; you're excused if it's taking a bit to understand my drift.

Just because this hasn't be said yet:

Shut the fuck up already.

If that was my theory, I'd disagree with it too.

Your timeframe is too short.

Give me an example?

As if you didn't know?

I actually enjoy debating with him, maybe you'll show some chops so I'll debate you later?

Water-under-the-bridge.

Next time, read the thread.

You didn't do very well in school, did you?

So far, I haven't read anything that would want to make me waste time debating you.

Who & what are you?

Why would your opinion be anymore interesting than my dog's?

That's the same way I feel towards people who I have stereotyped as uncouth, vain & stupid.

There's probably lots of reason & excuses for such bad behavior but that doesn't make it any less real.

R U serious?

Now I have to listen to you jokers wallow in your self-righteous paternalism.

Hell, yeah, I can go down this road.

Another sanctimonious, self-righteous bullshit thread.

The OP's lack of debating technique is so similar to some other losers on this forum that I suspect there's sock-puppetry involved?

WTF? R U joking?

The arrogance of The Left. Fuck you.

It isn't up to you. That's why we vote.

Fuck you, too.

Lots of "lost" souls in this thread.

As I've suggested before, watch someone who knows how to debate before you embarrass yourself further.

I give up: go ahead and wring your hands, feel bad.

I simply pointed out this was a sanctimonious, self-righteous bait thread, but if you want to get your jollies jacking off on the keyboard while feeling superior, angst-driven & paternalistic all at the same time, go ahead, just don't jizz on me.

Foes List. (That didn't take long.)

This debate always assumes we give a damn.

How do you know most people do? And how much do they care, do you know that too? And do you know what the factors are when they make that decision? You seem to have an amazing ability to know what other people are thinking and can predict the future. I'd say you're the one thinking you can talk to God?

I love being a pussy: enough idiots in the world already without being assaulted on the Internet too.

Dude, you obviously don't know the power of ignore. (And you've been debating a loooong time?)

If you were in an accident, heaven forbid, or got a genetic brain disease so were no longer who you are today, I might have to Foe you then.

Drive-by name-calling from The Left. Fuck you.

Okay, you're off my Foes list. (I can't quite recall how you got on there in the 1st place?)

BTW, if I don't say "fuck you" to a drive-byer, who's going to? Everybody else here is too courteous.

That's not an insult to me. (Was it even meant to be?)

Unfortunately, there are the gregarious self-righteous twits who sound like Progressives/Socialists but are simply clueless sanctimonious fucks. I don't know if they are actually stupid or unable to debate but I just Foe them, 'nough said.

Oh, fuck you. I think I remember why you were on my Foes list. Foes list.

Who's noticing how I'm working this thread for lurker entertainment?

It's all about the yuks. I wouldn't be here otherwise.

I don't think you people post anywhere else?

This forum is hostile to twits.

I revel in reading a thread where one of the regulars is tearing some numbnuts a new asshole. And watching them twist a dickwad's head off is pure poetry. I'm only sorry we don't have enough whiny jerkoffs to sacrifice to the rhetoric gods.

I don't recall you being a sanctimonious twit, nor are you on my Foes list. Hmmm... So it's not Progressivism that makes someone a fucktard, what is it, I wonder?

You're a liberal but you didn't need to take the test, you could have just asked me.

Have I ever called you a "twit"?

Irony. You just did the same thing to the people you're describing.

You're in a snarky mood.

You say intelligent shit most of the time. If you want to be Foed, either become a twit, or snark full-time instead of debating.

I'm here for entertainment, if you're not then Foe me.

So you're not planning on becoming a twit, and only snark on me when you're getting a hard-on? I can live with that.

This is my personal perspective:

No better way to make my point: Foes list.

So you're convinced? Were you an Invade Iraq guy?

I guess I don't know what your position is?

Read that several times & tell me if there's anything wrong with it?

I'm guessing you go to church?

I don't even have to say what I think of this statement, right?

Something stinks.

There's a lot of folks on this forum who already receive a "National Dividend." (Either that or they must be independently wealthy?)

You do know the difference, right? You're not just joshin' me...

You, of all people, know that.

We've done this thread before.

Lotta damn Liberals on this forum

Please explain.

That's conservative claptrap.

My one big beef with your analysis:

While I appreciate all the typing, and even agree with most of it, not on topic.

Metaphysics? Really?

Why continue to quibble?

Do dictionaries mean nothing to you people?!

I'll go back and see what your original question was so I can answer it? Oh, I did answer it.

I've already capitulated that I don't belong in a metaphysics thread any more than a thread about how many angels can fit on the head of a pin?

I thought maybe I was the one missing something so I Googled the word: perhaps you should too?

I thought I'd already covered the definition by actually looking it up?

You don't seem to understand the concept of Liberty.

You make my point for me.

Dude, why would you continue to display your ignorance of statistics?! Now, every other argument you make about something you do know is suspect.

When you were reading my mind, you re-interpreted what I was saying into what you wanted. Let's try it again right now: what is my opinion about you? (Did it come through clearly this time?)

Let me speak like a Liberal for a moment:

Do you need me to give you a workable strategy?

It's like therapy. (I don't think it's intended for us to read: too intimate.)

I've covered this before:

Hey fuck you, you goddamn loser. (Did you see how I got my point across in 1 sentence? Watch & learn.)

Trolls are everywhere, and I have decades of experience handling them.

I'm trying to get my Foes List to 100.

Here's the baseline:

It's been explained by the posts in this thread: you're reading the encapsulation of 100s of posts on this topic over the years.

Whoever's paying that guy needs to put an Internet block on him because that's one employee that's certainly ripping off the boss. When does he have time to eat?

OMG, that's ridiculous socialist claptrap.

Another I-know-better-n-you browbeater.

That's my usual pitch, cousin.

Describe what you mean by "mess"?

Your experience with life must be different than mine.

Wow, I thought you'd be tired of hearing it?!

I can't stop you from believing that.

For a union guy, you seem pretty reasonable. (I think fairies switched babies at your mom's house.)

Of course it terrifies you: it's clear outside your point of reference... And it's true.

The same tired old harangue. Do you not think we've all heard it before and already come to our own conclusions? Say something new.

What is it you're proposing?

Sounds like a bad idea to me but I'm listening?

Don't get baited by that guy.

Somebody was predicting the future again.

I call bullshit. Facts not in evidence. Probable mystical belief.

“I bet you even got a commie flag, tacked up on the wall, inside of your garage.”

Obviously, you are not a scientist nor even familiar with critical thinking.

It only takes a single counter-evidential example to invalidate a theory. Your theory is that people are born warm & fuzzy, delighting in unicorns & faith in their fellow human beings. I am offering myself as an example that you are wrong, therefore your theory is invalid.

If you want to debate me, you have to make me want to debate you. I simply don't respond to cat-calling.

I'm not saying you ankle-bite or are a twit... Did you want me to?

Does anyone else find humorous the size of the pack nipping at my heels?

This thread has the stench of White Liberal Guilt.

I call his type of argument an "oral illusion."

What the fuck is your experience with anything?

You'll have to take that up with your navel.

I'm afraid that's something you'll have to ask your church elders.

You know the rules: if you want to get on the Foes List, you can become a twit or relentless ankle-biter.

I know you've shown a propensity towards being a twit & an ankle-biter but I'm the eternal optimist, and think some people can grow.

I'm not the only one saying this:

He obviously has never seen my fedora up close & personal.

I recommend not pushing your post count up too quickly...

Oh, well, fuck those guys.

Google is your friend.

I can't tell where you are in this debate?

Is anybody arguing that?

Going all the way back to the beginning...

Dude, I explained it very succinctly.

What R U asking?

There's TONS more in-between steps but I got you there, whew!

NOW, finally, to get to your question:

Is that you?

Damn, when you're not drinking, your a force of logic.

Depressing ain't the word for it.

Alright, you guys dragged me in...

It's not in your best interests to post here.

Here, as a hanger-on, I can just Foe the stupid & the snarky.

Well, well, well, now we know...

Who are you to say different?

Uhhh... No.

Your Judaeo-Christian values are showing.

What, are you a clinical psychologist?

Did they teach you this shit in Med School, or Sunday School?

You're not a guy, are you? That's cool, I had enough 7th grade gym for both of us.

Make an appointment at my office, and you can come in for some advice if you're having confused feelings.

If you have legal questions, we can discuss those too.

If you want a resume call my office.

Well, there's that too...

Anybody else who wants to pile on is welcome to, I won't hold it against you, getting caught in the moment and all.

People move off my Foes list occasionally. The only requirement is that my overall entertainment is improved by their presence in my feed. You, for example, are a hoot.

If you want me to take you seriously (maybe you don't?) then you'll need to turn the knob down a little.

Pseudoscience.

For your mental health advice, free. How's next Thursday at 3?

Here's my narrative:

Another lucky graduate of Hash University (no relation to Trump University). Go ahead, light up that ball & take another hit off the bong. (It's not called "Hash" University for nuttin'.)

Whoa, Nelly!

Ya know, those fuckin' economists. Same with engineers, attorneys, patent agents & all those other so-called experts who don't know shit because all they did was get a Doctorate degree & train professionally for a number of years. From now on, I'll just listen to you.

I have no idea what point you're trying to make?

I wanted to write something pithy but couldn't catch any new air, so I'll just quote myself:

I can never follow this line of reasoning?

What's wrong with you people? It's a new millennium!

Once again, you're speaking for others.

Dude, you are the epitome of a SJW.

Start a podcast, that's what I did, but whereas I could go the entertainment route, I don't think you have a sense of humor, irony or introspection.

This is Martin Hash speaking for Martin Hash:

Don't you pay attention to the news? We already are.

IFrance, and much of the rest of Europe, isolated their Muslim immigrants. Didn't work out too good...

Maybe you should put a video of screaming BLM protester at a Trump rally as your tag line?

I always thought you were a little slow, even for online debate.

Lose an argument gracefully.

Been there; got the pictures.

Someone with have to take the twits on by themselves: reading their drivel gives me the creeps.

I can't believe I fuckin' agree with you?!

What?! Are you blind?

Of fucking-course it's a goddamn time-bomb!

We've had this discussion before:

And... (I'm following but seem to have a different view of the conclusion.)

You need to be able to keep up. (How old are you anyway?)

Lately, you haven't been guilty of trying.

You mean like some kind of Marxist revolt?

Start you own fuckin' business.

Yeah, that's it. Envy. I'm envious of your wealth.

Wow, are you giving me business advice?

I don't have to confirm this, right? It goes without saying.

Everybody who has their own business, please raise your hand.

Uh..., I disagree.

Whatever floats your boat, man...

I wouldn't be voting with those preferred stocks just yet.

So, you're a partner? Bullshit. Sound like an ally to me.

Dude, you haven't shown a sincere interest in anything anybody else has to say but if you're serious, I'll help.

Forget it, too much trouble.

Don't waste my time.

Tit-for-tat.

Being a 9/11 Truther is the easiest way to get on the Foes list.

Damn, you started on this board as a 9/11 Truther and look how far you've come!

This should be required participation for twits.

Assume you're a twit until further notice from me.

Dude, sit down with a pencil & do some math.

In case you're too busy to think, here's what happens:

STFU.

Bash someone else for awhile.

You guys are playin' with me, right?

Why do you keep talking then?!

Here's a serious, considered suggestion:

Remind me to have somebody beat the shit out of you if we ever meet.

Are you a fuckin' 911 Truther?! GTFO.

How's that?

I can understand why you'd be confused, that's normal because space-aliens put those thoughts in your head.

Sure, dude, anytime. BTW, what's your real name, I'd like to Google you so I can offer a few tips? Normally, I charge, but for you, it'll be free.

So you're a nobody nothing? Most resentful, envious bitchers are.

You finally graduated from twithood into reasonable poster, so there's hope for other twits too, maybe not a lot, but if you can do it...

You'll always be an outsider.

Dude, I just Googled it.

You are so dishonest in you're debating.

Scummy retort.

You need to brush up on your tax code buddy.

Hey, that twit's missing some of my accolades! I'm also a Professional Engineer, attorney & U.S. Patent Agent. (Plus, author, movie producer, travel writer & several other enviable accomplishments that I dish out when the loser fucktards come at me.)

Like I said in another thread:

That's the intention, anyway.

Yes, we know.

Ooooh, don't tell me. I'd have to turn you in.

That's how the politicians talk in my district: dude, you should run for office!

Shhhh... I'll keep your secret on the low down for now, just don't be broadcasting your crimes, if you know what I mean?

What, you don't think I'm funny?!

Yeah, "common sense," that's it.

As I've stated repeatedly:

Hmmm, how can I say this?

I've already gone over that.

I tried. Foes list.

Dude, you need to talk to a therapist. I'm giving professional advice here.

Read my stuff as if it's gist for a novel. It's intended to be provocative & entertaining.

My goal was to be "The Wysest Myn in the Wyrld." (Don't you listen to my podcasts?)

Worry about yourself: your envy, spite & resentment is compromising your thoughts.

I recommend, from a psychiatric perspective, that you Foe me so you don't have to read things that drive nails into your skull.

You just keep believing that if it makes you feel better. (I don't try to dissuade my mom from praying to invisible men either.)

Don't I keep saying this? Is my message not getting through?

Wrong. I suggest "EconTalk" by Russ Roberts, comes out every Monday. You'll learn about price elasticity, market forces & creative destruction.

R U a Natural Rightser?

Explain that for me: maybe I haven't heard your particular argument before?

Like I said before, walk me through your logic.

The inanity of your argument is so outrageous, it colors anything you say.

I've explained this before but let me do it again...

You undermine your own credibility when "God told me" is your argument.

Dude, you're a Catholic who believes in ghosts & Natural Law: I don't have debates about mysticism.

I, for one, would LOVE to have you as opposing counsel, and I suspect any other attorney would too.

Dude, you should take the Bar and argue that before a judge. (Whatever it was? Contract Law? Natural Rights? Some kind of Oral Illusion.)

What?! No NewSpeak please.

Anyway, I just thought I'd throw that turd out there.

The word "blacklist" is usually a give-away.

There's a whole other way of looking at this...

I've covered this topic a lot & try not to repeat myself without adding something new.

Why are fuckers so afraid to say, "I'm a Socialist." Bernie admits it, so should you.

Listen, if you're not ready to debate, step aside and watch.

My advice: build up to your first 100 posts gradually.

Did you want me to open up on the guy? I tried to warn him but he left anyway, so maybe you're right.

What's that, an Oral Illusion?

Listen, if you've discovered a new kind of economics, I'm interested in it. My god, you could get a Nobel, otherwise, stop shitting in my mouth.

p.s. New Guy, you can regroup and pose a concise question or position & I'll try to engage you (or someone will).

Here's how it works:

Do you get tired of talking out of your ass?

Go get a fuckin' Law degree, or at least do something with your life, before dickin' around with my time.

I thought you were a fucking socialist?

Of course!?!

It's almost like anyone with a smidgen of math skilz could figure this would happen.

Hmmmm... I wonder what the solution is?

You guys must enjoy playing with the trolls? Have at it.

Jesus Christ, what happened here?

You've got a thin sense of moral outrage.

Crazy.

For the newbies:

I can't let that go.

Remember?

However lame, your statement was essentially correct.

I shouldn't say anything but I can't contain myself:

Double what I just said.

You have been misled my friend.

They are sneaky bastards.

Wow, I bet that made you feel better. Cathartic.

Not disagreeing, mostly just reveling in the rawness.

Hey, I know that motive!

I'll say it like it is too.

Oh, they know me, no doubt of that.

All right, everyone, time to watch "Lars & the Real Girl." I guarantee if you don't think it's embarrassingly funny, I'll take some dickhead off my Foes list.

It will be awesome for us too.

Well, get to it then, implement your "plan."

Thank goodness the OP has a 100 post amnesty.

It's probably just a sock-puppet.

Dude, don't personalize.

This is worse than a lame thread.

I hesitate to say this because I'd like you to stick around but, dude, you need to be a little more self-aware.

And now you're clever too.

I'm going to help out the newbie.

Dude, really, I'm the only one who gets to exhibit a condescending attitude around here... Huh? What? You other guys want me to go to my room for being a conceited dick? Ah, shucks, that's not fair...

It's too bad you included that twit's post. You should just have pontificated generally. It was quite coherent, and I would have debated it here & there if wasn't poisoned already.

Using sourced material for opinion purposes is considered poor debating form. We have our own opinions. Certainly source facts that support your own opinion, but, frankly, fuck what Third Parties think, we want to know what YOU think.

My post was clever on several levels: it was a teaching exercise, it played on the title & it was a post in a newbie's thread which is good.

If we're going to argue based on authority, I've got 3 doctorates & 4 professional licenses: I "win."

I'm balancing, so Foes list off on you. (Until quickly proven otherwise.)

Dude, you have 39 posts. I'll talk about whatever I want.

Shhh, don't reveal my secret plan to become King Of The World.

Throwing out an Oral Illusion ain't gonna fool anybody on this forum.

Lots of healthcare experts in this group. I guess being an M.D., studying, working in & using socialized medicine isn't enough "authority" for you?

Dude, I also work on cars, but I'm not claiming expertise in auto mechanics.

I'm claiming expertise, so bring-it-on, R U or someone you know going to bigger dick me on this?

Hmmm... I'm thinking I could probably beat you at a military board game. That's if I played games...

The "duh" is not lost on me.

You know what I think of shamanism.

Stop digging already.

Do you really want to go down the rabbit hole with me?

Put yours out there, let's see how long it is?

Here's what I was getting at (poorly).

Am I the only person posting into this thread that has any idea what's going on?

I have to make in humorous because it's so damn depressing otherwise.

I don't drink anymore. Wait, is that a beer I'm drinking? Who put that bottle in my hand?!

Why do you keep repeating this? Excuse me if I stop listening to your arguments.

Piling on the BS...

I'm done here.

You're still new, and you obviously don't debate online, so since you seem sincere, I'll help out...

Don't be sanctimonious in your posts.

Because the option I propose hasn't been mentioned, I will mention it again:

On the flip side:

I just started evolving this concept & it hasn't matured much yet.

I'm a developing counter-argument.

He isn't always wrong, he just boxes out of his weight-class.

Whoa, this isn't going to end well.

Back on Foe.

Because I value your opinion, I took him off Foes list, but he is indeed a Foe, so I put him back on. I'll depend on you to quote his good stuff.

You've been quoting his posts.

I spent the last 6 years dealing with dickhead losers, don't need it here too.

I post for entertainment: Foe is the tool to keep the ankle-biters & twits at bay. Maybe you use the forum for something else entirely, I'm not judging you.

I remember when I joined the forum you were an ankle-biter for a bit but I waited & it went away.

I read that as something else but I'll let the OP explain his interpretation.

Maybe you need to do a little Foeing?

Without him, this thread would be something entirely different, in a good way...

You think this is acceptable ankle-biting?!

What? My links weren't good enough for you?!

You're young, you still have lots of time to waste.

What R U debating? Who R U debating?

Let me pontificate for a moment too:

Ah, the snark was just in hiding.

I have to constantly combat this attitude:

I'm not a Socialist, and certainly not a Marxist, and I don't agree with your ideals, but I'll listen for now but after a few more paragraphs of prattle, I won't much longer.

Assuming you are special and know better-n-me will get your arguments nowhere.

There's enough sanctimonious posturing in this thread already.

Dude, I'm a Liberal; you're a socialist, or perhaps a Marxist, I haven't been reading too closely.

It's kinda self-explanatory, but I like you so I'll explain it.

All right, who's getting fired? What?! Nobody? Honest mistake, anybody could have done it I guess.
Fired!

If not fired, why? How could if be possible that she wouldn't be fired? No way.

That actually made me feel sad.

Have you ever been a patient of mine?

Is there a "fairness" argument going on here, 'cuz I don't do fairness.

Take that, you SJW pussy.

What? R the lawyers coming out now?

You know, you panty-waists don't need to defend your position so vehemently. We got it, you're pussies.

p.s. How's Mom's basement.

My god, dude, do you always see women as victims unless they're dressed in black leather & use machineguns? (I think I know what the problem is...)

Let me wax poetic for a moment:

Starting from my own quote:

"History" forum indeed?!

I'm simply clearing the air.

I take my opportunities to teach when they present themselves.

Dude, you got taken for a ride.

Commie.

R U going to force me to be rude!?

Obviously, you didn't listen to my podcasts.

Here, let me explain why...

Or it could go on forever...

I'm a solutions guy: all you point at is the problem.

Dude, you & me aren't on the same page.

I doubt if I've ever changed your mind about anything & it won't happen this time either.

Do you even know who Friedrich Hayek is?

How would you know, Canadian military socialist guy?

Enough of this blather: go back to kicking your feet up on your socialist pension, I've got things to do around my giant liberty estate.

I can't compete with that kind of hubris, I concede.

(That was funny. You were supposed to laugh.)

You have been hacked. (R U still in there?)

Renaissance Myn are few & far between. Most people have never had any contact with one. Lucky for you I'm here so you can tell your grandchildren.

My laser beam presence doesn't get in your eyes on the internet.

Do you even have a license? I mean, can you be called as an expert witness in court? Can anybody who works with you? Are they professionally insured?

Masturbation.

He doesn't say anything.

I hope you think the essay is humorous.

(That wasn't aimed at you, I was using the opening to say something clever & hopefully entertaining.)

Somebody better define "fascism" before any joe-retard starts throwing the term around wildly-nilly.

Yeah, pretty much.

OMG, did we just have someone defend the Mexican skinheads?! Where's the fuckin' KKK when you need them?

I'm done here. Apologists take the fun out of a debate.

Does nobody use fuckin' Google anymore?

I've thought about this from time to time, here's my solution:

Hey, I can't argue with emotion.

I can only solve logical problems.

You should probably reread this...

It's so easy.

Which brings us back to my original comment:

As others would say, "cucks."

Or should I say, you're losing.

Like, ya know, like, it's like, you know what I mean, right?

Privately link to something you think will impress me; maybe I'm underestimating you?

Spell-check your posts first.

You're vomiting into a public forum. Dude, uncool.

But what do I care?

Too much hand-wringing in this thread.

Without the Foes list, I couldn't take this place.

Do you happen to believe the bible was written by God by any chance?

About fuckin' time.

Fuckity, fuck, fuck, fuck.

Uhhh... Got me.

The World was saved through your lack of liberty.

To your Christian upbringing, maybe?

You guys shouldn't make me have to do this (from the article link above):

If they shut down “hate speech,” dude, you wouldn't even be here: people would only speak of you like Keyser Söze.

You're making assumptions based on your own experiences, and I on mine.

Interesting, cross-thread posting only feels like stalking when she's a she?

I was just humoring him (though sometimes I can't tell if he's serious?)

I know you don't have time to listen to my podcasts BUT IF YOU DID...

Do you need a screen grab?

R U in the same thread as I am?

Yeah, I know.

(That fucker is so tedious.)

Dude, you need to walk away from the trolls. (I heard the Foes List helps.)

Just to add fuel to the fire:

??? (Is that all you got?)

Better.

Hey, you got your feet up in your cottage, eating a little BBQ & drinking whiskey on your government pension. Just a minute while I look for a $100 bill to light my cigar with, and I'll get back to you.

You should move there.

Oh, did you say something? Sorry, I wasn't listening.

Fuck you fraidycat Lefties.

It's threads like this that demonstrate my supposition.

It was supposed to be funny but it turned out to be alarming!

I'm not quite sure what to do with this now?

I've heard that...

Wrong question.

Yak, yak, yak.

The bizarre factor aside, how much difference does it make really?

I don't think that most people know what I am about to say:

I've brought this up before but didn't get a lot of pushback:

Don't get too far out on a limb here...

I don't claim expert but, yeah.

Maybe you're just pontificating? (I do that sometimes.)

Okay, to reiterate:

Your mileage may vary.

You still write pretty though.

One oral illusion too many.

Hey, what am I, chopped liver? Or because my interpretation doesn't agree with your sensibilities, you're going shopping, looking for one that does?

Who needs a test?

I thought it would be self-evident?

You don't happen to be a Libertarian are you?

Just joshin' you.

You seem to have little understanding that the worm has turned.

My dad & all of his friends feel the same way.

Who even likes that guy?

You are an optimist, or incredibly naïve.

I don't know if you've noticed?

Americans pee their pants if someone says "nuclear" too loudly, especially in SJW country.

As proven by the anti-vaxxers, many Americans don't care too much if children die in large numbers from government conspiracy-laden germs.

Hmmm... I'm ready, put your dick out there, let's see how long it is. (Just private text me your real name so I can Google it.)

Dude, "Foe" is your friend.

Just playing around here.

See, you knew the answer already before sucking us blowhards in for a skoolin'.

Death-by-a-thousand-cuts.

You would think someone like yourself, who self-medicates, would understand that same tendency in people who are less conscientious.

From my perspective:

That's kind of passive-aggressive right there...

That right thar, that's openly aggressive, so to return in kind...

You don't even debate well.

I've been to this rodeo:

Some semi-intelligent, intimidated, envious dinkus who thinks they could do what I do if they just had the time/inclination/money/luck. But fuckwad, it's like this, you're pretty much a nobody nothing. You'll never do anything, and if hearing about me gives you the heebie-jeebies, that's life. Now, buzz off.

Jesus, man, R U going to descend into ankle-biting?

Just walk away & we'll debate another day.

p.s. This is supposed to be entertaining.

There sure are a lot of optimists here: good for you fellas, I hope it works out for you.

I'm here for entertainment, but when someone clearly has a damaged psyche, I quickly "Foe" them so there's no chance of creating a stalker. (And I still get fucking stalkers.)

Speaking as a medical professional: the Lefties on this forum exhibit those traits.

Okay, make your case, gimme some links.

Dude, you're wallowing in a tsunami of “anti” like a kid whose team just won a close soccer match.

It's rather amateurish.

You're a smarter, more perceptive man than me, I didn't get any of that. Dumb me.

Get back to watching reruns of HIMYM.

"Nanny, nanny, nanny," has always been a favorite of mine.

Intellectually I understood the kind of people who have time & inclination to post to this forum, but, ya know, when I can no longer deny the truth, it's still a big emotional hit to realize I post here too...

"Last Man Standing" is one of my favorite movies.

Oh, fuck you, loser.

Take your damn meds. (What? You think I can't tell?)

You can believe whatever you want...

You and I are usually on the same side, so let me recap the thread you did NOT read.

How does this logic not get through?

Everybody has drunk the fuckin' Kool-Aid.

Just in case somebody missed this the first time I said it:

Dude, you're just going to have to believe me on this...

Another of the nipping dog pack identified.

This forum has a strong cohort of discombobulated SJWs, more ankle-biting than argument, most of which are on my Foes list.

I've been skooled on this forum.

I didn't get your point.

Posting doesn't cost very much so there's lots of it.

You're too literal.

He just Googled me instead & decided that dismissing my opinion as unsophisticated was probably in err.

I didn't say you didn't drink the Kool-Aid. In fact, I never dismissed your expertise, only called you an "optimist," but I don't expect you to dismiss mine.

Sounds like I've have more experience than you?

I'd like to believe you were experienced in this shit but you just don't seem to have the sophistication.

You're probably a Marxist? At the very least, an equalist.

I'm trying to entertain: I don't want anybody drug-tested. (Especially not YOU. Can you imagine how dangerous that would be to the techs exposed to those unregulated Chinese designer steroids?!)

Creepy shit, if you ask me.

Fuckin' cellphone videos: who can believe them? (Probably doctored.)

You go ahead and the promote status quo, hell, your pension depends on it.

Don't give a shit. (As you've probably guessed.)

Dude, you and I have differing definitions of lots of things!

Paraphrasing:

With a response like that, there should have been some running away while screaming.

You could do better or worse? (I'd say worse.)

Dude, I'm not kidding.

WTF?! Magical rich people? Fuckin' hero worship.

Okay, let's just think about this for one moment...

Really, R U disagreeing with me on this?

They got their goddamn asses handed to them by this guy. I mean, he fucking made them eat their own shit.

You want to change my mind? How much juice you offering?

I wouldn't expect you to understand, not being an OWG and all, left out and everything...

There, there, Mom's here & she has a cookie.

You may be under a delusion but us enlightened folks can rush in and save you from yourselves.

How come you didn't know that?

R U using distorted news to prove news is not distorted?

I'm not sure I know what we're debating?!

If you're just digging up old news, it seems like you could have found something juicer?

I was under the impression you were talking about something that recently happened?

This isn't a new story.

My position is constantly changing, or is that yours?

What exactly is your point?

I'm okay with that.

Like I said, you wouldn't understand: until last week you thought liberty was a synonym for freedom.

He plays both sides of the debate for yuks.

He's entertained but it does frustrate us observers.

No need to shitpost anymore.

No one ever accused you of being liberal.

Not only was the opposition awful, but it was predictable.

I hope the penalty is severe.

The fact that a history forum tends to give history precedence.

You quoted my message but responded to something else?

To respond to you:

This is not a congregation of people who make stands.

We need go no further than this forum to be immersed in sheeple.

Kinda disappointing really.

But that's not the real news; what's real is:

This is just a debating forum;people comment here for entertainment, not conviction. You'll need to go somewhere else if you want commitment or even rationality.

You, yourself, show no understanding.

I don't think the people who post here leave the house very often.

This is a "what if?" speculation that falls into the realm of "what if your father raped your mother?" category.

Yeah, as stated already.

I thought you've been keeping up?!

If you can't keep up, you shouldn't interrupt.

In case anybody wasn't sure:

You make my point so fabulously.

Bring on the overconfidence!

That's precious: it's like the schoolyard.

I hope you're joking.

Maybe you could regale us with how terrible your life as a women in America was?

I can only speak for myself.

I'm sorry America was terrible for you but I'm glad it was good for me.

Brexit will actually postpone The Collapse because of even more international money flight into the U.S.

The Collapse hasn't happened yet because America lives off the tribute of the rest of The World: zero interest Treasuries that never have to be paid back... Yeah, that's an enduring formula.

Perversity & spite are powerful motivators.

Don't worry about me, I'm doing fine. Thank you for your concern.

Yeah, I know you socialists aren't big believers in liberty.

Still very predictable.

Who R U to judge?

Rah, rah soldier-sniffer.

Just to make this fantasy more interesting...

This is why I don't debate military topics.

Oh, Jesus fuckin' Christ, I'm done here.

You're excused: I thought you were lying for debate sport but you were just drinking the Kool-Aid.

I hope no one reading this believes that horseshit.

Following up:

Foe her/im; s/he never says anything intelligent anyway.

Not an America-hater, just a twit. (Actually, more of an ankle-biter.)

(Okay, not an America-hater, but it was funny.)

Very odd indeed.

Got me thinking:

I thought you at least, a former military man, would understand?

Here's my take:

BOT WARNING!

I'd get in on this but the discussion is so lame there's no entry point, so I'll make one:

Did you just call me a "big doo-doo"?

Why do you think you don't "get it"?

You go off and play in your One World Order now.

I think I hear the U.N. calling... Don't you have to go?

As I stated earlier:

Really, dude, has calling me names ever worked in the past?

Just ask the Ankle-biters.

Oh, okay, I thought you were calling me a baby.

Am not.

(You're no fun.)

Plant! Shill! Dude, you have 2 posts!

Look at the joker posting that link. Jesus, like we can't tell they're an apologist. Probably getting paid.

I'm going to report this bot to the moderator.

I've seen this kind of bot before: it posts partisan articles.

(See my previous post.)

Really, dude, you wore out your welcome.

We pretended to care what you thought until you showed your patronizing stripes & now it would be better to move on to a socialist circle-jerk forum.

We're liberalists here. (Except the twits.)

Really, take his advice, walk away.

Shoulda walked away...

Back to the original topic:

Are you talking The Law with me?

Dude, him & I get it, and we're Americans.

Most bots don't lament about their unfaithful wife taking their kid so I'm leaning away from you being a bot, but I've been wrong before...

Could be you're a bot? Who ever heard of you anyway?

Still very suspicious?

A bot would be pretty good at video games.
