    YYYyyyaaaaa right............. You might want to give my post a little more thought than that. I'm pointing out something important here. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Yes, I also remember that the post volume was heavily weighted to the "Glass Parking Lot" group, but polls reflected calmer minds. Why wouldn't the peaceful types write about their positions but would click anonymously on a poll option? That's worth wondering about. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Talk about mind-reading! You keep announcing what "my side" is. But I DON'T HAVE A "SIDE"! In fact, it's complete inane bullshit to have a side. Science doesn't have "sides". POLITICS has sides. YOU have sides. And that proves you're thinking of this as a political debate, not a scientific investigation. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Awww, don't you go ruining a good snotty response with facts! First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Yes. Me for instance. And I've said so many times, but rushmc just won't have any of it. He's 110% certain that his political position will be validated by scientists eventually. I think this is a sign of a basic misunderstanding about the world. He thinks the opinions of good (republican) politicians create the reality that scientists discover -- unless they're corrupt in which case they discover the reality designed by the bad (democrat) politicians.

    Sounds like you've got an opinion that you want people to reinforce. But nobody's reinforcing it for you. Maybe you should give some support to your position. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    I don't have any memory of ever having an opinion about your origin. I try real hard not to have opinions about things I have no information about. No, my opinion that you're a parochial untravelled xenophobe is based on exactly ONE thing which I explained above. I was reacting to your two kneejerk statements that any place outside of the U.S. is automatically a "shithole". My opinion had nothing to do with your position on illegal immigration. You made two incorrect statements as justification for this conclusion. In the world of logic, that would invalidate the conclusion. How do you handle things like that in your world?

    You might be right -- or not. Do you have any information that would demonstrate that he was overstating? First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Actually, they're quite important. The primary reason I have no interest in your conclusions about what happens to me after death is that your premises strike me as highly unbelievable. If you want me (or others) to listen the things you feel are important, you're going to have to fix up your credibility. It's in serious disarray. I offer you the chance to start with this big boat story. It's got many really serious inconsistencies. Tell me how to reconcile what looks like a hokey fairy tale with your claims that you've got important information about reality. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Intellectual boredom, really. He didn't present anything new. Oh, my apologies. I don't have a big background in Ark Theory so I didn't know it's been addressed many times. Come to think of it though, that makes sense. Can you direct me to an authoritative source that answers these logistical questions about the ark from your perspective? And please not the answersingenesis.org page as that's what generated the questions in the first place. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Uh... if I could figure out what this means maybe I could realize it. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    You once made the minor error of thinking I was an immigrant in the U.S. But you also made the MAJOR error of presupposing that wherever I must have moved from was automatically a "shithole" (without, of course, bothering to find out what that place was.) Then when you learned I was an immigrant who LEFT the U.S., you immediately presupposed that I must live in a "shithole" now (again without knowing where you were describing). Since you made these statements without first bothering to identify where you were talking about, you must think EVERYWHERE outside of the U.S. is automatically a "shithole." I think this is a pretty clear demonstration that you've got a massively emotional reaction to the issues of immigration and perhaps you should consider the effect these FEELINGS have on your THINKING about the topic.

    Nor is that what he said. But it IS fun to exaggerate other people's words then knock down the argument they didn't make, isn't it? First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Aren't you the same guy who showed his sophisticated understanding of the world outside the U.S. when you called Vancouver B.C. a "shithole across the border"? First Class Citizen Twice Over
  15. narcimund
    Wow. That's just about the stupidest argument I've seen. Let me get this straight. Here's your paragraph dissected into functional units: A) Man is natural B) Therefore everything Man does is natural C) Therefore burning megatons of carbon is natural D) Therefore the crisis of burning megatons of carbon is not caused by man E) Therefore there's nothing to worry about. Care to think through some of these fallacies and try again? First Class Citizen Twice Over

    We have the same monarchy True, although dear Betty is even more hands-off here than she is at home. It's incomprehensible to me how someone could complain that the british monarchy leads to any significant problems any more. She's a wealthy historical curiosity with no political power whatsoever. The british monarchy is structurally absolutely harmless. Do you think willard believes her guards behead dissidents or something? First Class Citizen Twice Over
  17. narcimund
    Maybe a little canadian history would be useful here. Let me educate you. The monarchy here is symbolic only, has none of those characteristics I know well from the U.S., and this country by and large doesn't ... nah... forget it. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    If I had my choice I'd pick Jakee-World over Willard-World where the government ignores its own defining document's limitations on its power, destroys people's lives in secret, and hides information about its actions to prevent the peepul from learning enough to piss them off. In Willard-World, King Willard lectures the peepul to keep quiet, stop noticing problems with the government, and just let them do whatever they want without limits. I like peaches & cream a lot more. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    YOU of all people telling billvon that he "can't debate the topic" is just about the funniest thing I've seen all week. And that's saying a lot because we had a REALLY funny guy over for dinner last night and he had us rolling on the floor laughing. But your comment gets the prize. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    It looks like you want to repeat this embarassing exchange from a month ago: Rubber & Glue First Class Citizen Twice Over

    I know! You're actually Mr. Mxyzptlk. That explains everything. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    That's funny. You say the science is a done deal all the time. Well, actually you say the POLITICS are a done deal and the science is slowly and inevitably catching up to it. But that's the same thing. First Class Citizen Twice Over

    Yeah guys, everyone stop investigating and discussing the bad things Willard's heros do. Keep your eyes down. Don't involve yourself in the affairs of your government (when it's republican). That's the american way. First Class Citizen Twice Over
