ain't that the truth!Enkephalen said:So liberal, so politically correct, so inclusive--except when your opinion doesn't agree with theirs . . . and then: :slap:
Enkephalen said:Just because some of us do not agree with you AKaras, doesn't mean that we are wrong, you are right, and there is no middle ground. Your response exemplifies the attitude that eloisel and I see in the OT forum. If you do not hold the same opinion of the majority you are condemed, shunned, and insulted, just as you have done with your last two responsive posts. The concept of a debate is an exchange of ideas wherein one can do so without fear of being ridiculed for holding an opinon different from the one you possess. Note this does not mean that you beat your oponent to death just because his or her opinion does not dovetail with yours. Nor does it mean that in order to "win" the debate you must force the other person to give in and assume your way of thinking. Finally, you do not win any points by stomping off in a fit of pique spouting some childish response such as "smell your own farts". Then again, we do not know how old you are in real life in which case, your response may be age appropriate.

Wrong. Sorry. Perhaps I failed to communicate what I was trying to say. I've been trying to find a middle ground. I've been trying to get people to see from my POV, but you guys seem to have already made up your own minds.

Uuuuuuh, because it's like talking to a brick wall, and the only time I get a response is if I stir your cages.

Hmmm...a debate. Funny, I haven't seen much of that from some folks here and at EI.And I've never stomped out in a fit. Wrong-O. It seems you've made up your mind long ago, just as others. Far be it for me to crash the party.
A Karas said:God damn you! My name is not Jimmy. And who the hell cares how old I am. I don't. It has nothing to do with anything discussed here. You read my profile, good for you. And, no, I don't live with mommy and daddy since daddy has been dead for some time now, and my mother lives halfway across the country. If anyone is childish around here, it's you, you little brown noser. Grow up.
