j_b Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 you are playing semantics games PP, and you sphinx you are pretty good at insulting people but way short on supporting your arguments. Quote

Depends if I want to present a decent argument. If the person I'm arguing against is boring, dull, or stupid, I tend to spray more than debate. Check the bike laws thread for examples. Quote

Prove it. Both sides cheated, I seem to remember several dead people voting for Gore. Get over it. Quote

Sorry J-b your insults are BS. You made clear claims that I believe something that I do not. (eg while you consider impeachment for lying about an aspect of one's personal life a good thing ) I asked for evidence supporting your assertion and you reply with an insult. I call BS on that. I am not playing semantics [sic] games but have tried to stick close to the issue. Others, you included, have consistently confused the arguement by bringing in issues and facts outside of the discussion at hand. Fine, you can widen the argument as somekind of tactic but when I challenge one of your assertions and you respond in the manner of your last response to me, I can only view it as a childish whine. Again I ask you to show me your evidence supporting this claim - you [PP] consider impeachment for lying about an aspect of one's personal life a good thing. Until you can reveal the evidence indicating I feel this way, your comment remains merely a gratuitous insult. I was a bit mocking in my response but you have assigned beliefs to me that are not only wrong but created out of thin air. That assignation and creation is certainly a greater insult to the public discourse than my gentle mocking. So come up with the supporting proof or kiss my ass and shut the fuck up. (See trask I do deserve to be part of your good guy list) PP Quote

Peter_Puget Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 j_b said: where? Or here J-B:: “i did not bring up clinton. i brought up the fact that you dismiss false statements made while justifying a very costly war (human and financial costs) to a cautious public, while you consider impeachment for lying about an aspect of one's personal life a good thing” Again ask you to provide evidence supporting your assertions about my beliefs. From your consistent refusal to provide this evidence a simpleton would think I would have to make the choice between “lying” and “incompetence” but I say it is both! PP Quote

"We know that based on intelligence that he has been very, very good at hiding these kinds of efforts. He’s had years to get good at it and we know he has been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons. And we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons. I think Mr. ElBaradei (Atomic Energy Commission) frankly is wrong." That's good enough for me, from seeing the interview, and I am certain Cheney chose the word "reconstituted", often used incorrectly but interchangeably with "refined" or "reprocessed" carefully for the added effect of the potential mislead. be·lieve ( P ) v. be·lieved, be·liev·ing, be·lieves v. tr.

Ok Your consistant refusal to answer my repeated requests for your evidence supporting this assertion:you [PP] dismiss false statements made while justifying a very costly war (human and financial costs) to a cautious public, while you consider impeachment for lying about an aspect of one's personal life a good thing” And I would add you comment here as well:are you going to challenge me to a duel now? Ah the idignities I have suffered. PP Quote
j_b Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 i am not refusing to answer your question. but first, i want to clear up this thing of me insulting you because it seems you are attempting to obfuscate the discussion. in webster main entry: indignity 1 a : an act that offends against a person's dignity or self-respect : INSULT b : humiliating treatment can you elaborate on how what i said offended your self-respect or how it was a humiliating treatment?
