Are you really that obtuse? Your description, "They don't argue specifics, they just attack", describes you perfectly. You say "they" appeal to EMOTION, yet you capitalize the word as if you're yelling instead of discussing. You react emotionally. You say you like to debate, and yet when I ask you to show one single time you've ever actually debated anything on these threads, you can't. What you're doing now isn't debate, it's ranting. You attack everyone who disagrees with you. Yes, the attacks are vague, couched in terms of those on the other side. Everyone here has disagreed with you. You say you have invisible supporters, but not one of them has bothered to step up and say so. This makes you sound like a liar.

No one hates you. We don't give you credit, not because you won't back down but because despite all the hints, suggestions and observations, you still haven't listened to what I keep telling you, and you keep going about it in the lamest possible way. Again, I agree with you on most of this, but you do your best to make us all look stupid. It isn't your tone, it's your inability to actually discuss the issue. You rant and rave, and shout and yell, and call anyone who disagrees with you "Leftie", yet you keep saying things about the way they talk, and then turn around and talk exactly the same way.

Why should they, when you've never discussed anything?

You say things like that, but you come across as a far-right lunatic. That's not how you see yourself, but it is the image you project.

Dangerously close? As soon as you said "everytime I see your name" you were already being personal. It passes because others did it as well.

I'll tell you how you're wrong on this. As I said so many times "It's not what you say, it's how you say it." Again, I agree with you, but your ranting makes the rest of cringe in shame. You manage to make yourself look silly, and the jokes about you being a secret Leftie working to make the Right look bad actually have a ring of truth to them. You need to learn to actually debate a subject, and discuss it properly. Somebody with your claimed level of education should be able to do that. Until then, please stop making the rest of us look bad.

I'm telling ya, he's got to be a Democrat being paid to act as a far-right Republican to make the rest of the Republicans look bad. :yep:

Yeah those people include most every moderator and the site owner as well.

Charming.

And just because I'm bored, here's more:

No, we can't. You don't characterize anything the opposing side of your rants brings up as a "real argument." You dismiss any evidence to the contrary. Any statement or assertion from the other side is mocked, belittled and dismissed out of hand without any counter evidence.

See, this is a perfect example of exactly what everyone's trying to tell you. You refuse to debate, you refuse to consider the fact that you may be wrong. Your arrogance refuses to let you be swayed by any counter argument, no matter how well it's crafted, no matter what evidence is presented. And members of this forum know this. You've become a joke. You know why your threads aren't taken seriously and are filled with posts where people mock you? It's because of this right here. It's not because they disagree with your politics, it's because they disagree with the way you present yourself and your behavior.

A lot of people have learned that it's useless trying to engage you in any sort of rational debate where logical consistency is valued, arguments are framed, valid evidence and counter evidence is presented, and a conclusion is reached where one side values the efforts and discussion from the other side. It doesn't happen. You're convinced that you're right and everyone else is stupid, and you refuse to ever open your mind to any other possibility. It's pointless.

There remains one important question.
Should bubbles get a pay rise due to his performance?

Oh, definitely, I mean, he's doing a sterling job of persuading people to vote Democrat! :yep: :haha:

Okay, I now have to file an official complaint. You are now doing what I do better than I do myself. This will not be tolerated.

Or maybe I'll just sit and spectate for awhile.

I can ban him if you like, he has been getting rather uppity lately. :woot:

Nah, it's not his fault he's a screaming commie fag pinko leftie crybaby whiner loser with two left feet and a left-handed monkey wrench in his back pocket which he doesn't know what it's for because he's never done an honest day's work in his life and spends his time in an ivy-league ivory tower planning new ways to overthrow the constitution and the 65-mph speed limit. :O:

Interesting Wall Street Journal article on the gun control bill failure.

But....But 55 saves lives! :Kaleun_Crying:


:D

Speaking of which, has anyone seen Takeda for a while?

I think after the last blow-up he's taking a hiatus. Can't blame him.
His avatar changed too.

His profile shows last activity to be from 22. of March, so you might be right. I hope he'll be back soon. There's this AAR I'm planning which he and CCIP just need to read...

Sorry. Ahem. GUNS!

Thanks for the link.


On the more humorous side, someone already made a " Hitler Finds Out Gun Control Failed In The Senate " video.

Which is really funny as hitler was a gun nut who abolished most restrictions on firearms.
