Jollytiddlywink, when you said that I had lost, you rather gave your position away. If it's a case of winning or losing (rather than convincing or debating) then you are bound to the idea that any acceptance of anything I've said is tantamount to a loss on your part, rather than a benefit. Your ego, then, won't allow anything but a negation of what I've suggested. And I'm not about to waste any more time trying. Perhaps, one day, some (or a little) of what I've said can be accepted by you as having some merit.

When you can slip into another identity as easily as unregs can though you can make any point from any perspective and subvert the whole idea of a reasonable debate. I didn't even read what G13 and Queercommunist have written. They could be the same person, or different people, or one side of one person, or many sides of many people.
Unaccountable, innit?
Takes 2 minutes to register - then I'll read what you have to say. Till then you're just white noise.
Hennessy wrote:Also all this "you're appealing to base emotions and that's a logical fallacy" crap is for sissies, good arguments should have some guts behind them, I'm not playing Dungeons and Dragons with arguments and I'm certainly not trying to be Aristotle, I'm attacking someone who is so wrong it makes my blood boil. I'll leave the fancy argumentative swordplay to those gentlemen and women whose interests lie that way.
You just look like you'd rather vent about some women really actually being sluts, or people making documentaries and articles that make you angry.

jollytiddlywink wrote:"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal..." didn't prompt Jefferson to free his slaves and then treat them as equals, or try to get his wife the vote. By and large, it was black people and women who won for themselves the measures of equality they have now.
jollytiddlywink wrote:And as for you asking how I know that there weren't humanists at the Pride Parade in Moscow, I'll tell you how I know. There were, according to all the reports I can find, very few people there. No more than 30. They are all identified as "gay rights campaigners." Not so much as a hint of humanists.

jollytiddlywink wrote:3. You do your own "I believe that all people are equal" "we are all the same" case absolutely no good by calling people who don't entirely agree with you fuckwits
jollytiddlywink wrote:For all that I disagree with macgamer, I've got to admit that I've never seen him call anyone a half-evolved idiot. Nor have I ever seen him respond to people's questions and arguments with sound-effects or photos of kittens. He at least has the courtesy to actually read what people have argued, and attempt to address their points in written English.
