Hilarious. I fail to see how I am in any way assuming anything other than the necessity of evidence for a proper empirical debate, and quite rightfully so since this is a logical truism. Don't blame me for your intellectual shortcomings please. May I point out that you have failed thus far to...

You're quite right: it is irrelevant, so why did you say it? I think I know: because you can't think of any better way to demean my argument than by attacking my person. This line of reasoning is fundamentally false and inherently unjustified, so give it a rest. Of course, opinions (premises)...

And I, epic man, am not here to perpetrate unreasonable ad hominem [personal] attacks by calling others "mindless idiots", which is a tag that I find rather offensive. This is not a forum for spouting personal opinions without credence. It is a forum of debate, and that is what I am doing...

It's necessary in this one (see below). You insist on continuing with equally weak analogies, which are not metaphors btw. The fact is that an analogy about a black person and a white person locked in a room simply does not pertain to empirical debate about the validity of evidence in this...

Perhaps I was a bit too harsh. Apologies to anyone taking great offence. ALso: "HumanDichalmydia"? You can hardly claim the moral high ground. Evidence which is necessary and which you utterly lack. Uhhhh........is it just me or does this bear absolutely no relation whatsoever to whether or...

I implied no such thing because I was referring to the opinion of iheartgays only. The fact that others may share the views of iheartgays is neither here nor there, has no bearing on the argument and is certainly not a logical fallacy. Opinion = premise without stated proof in an...

Restating your original argument with minor elaboration is generally not good practise tbh. I would say that when Obama was inaugurated there was a bit of a personality cult around him but the fact that this would come down eventually was inevitable; there are too many interest groups in the...

No worries :)

Your sarcasm belies the relevance of this point. In fact, you more or less accept this position when you say: Chyeah. The US has a lot to answer for on the international stage and in this respect your statist assertion is disappointingy accurate. This is the fundamental view of past (and...

Re: OKay guys, Australia never 'avoiced' the recession, Rudd was not the hero Do some research. Australia's debt to GDP ratio is the lowest in the OECD and is projected to peak at 14%. Compare this to Japan with 180%. Btw I encourage you to find 5 countries on this earth who are not...

Goddamn - that someone would actually say this is pretty phenomenal. Google the man's achievements at the very least. Perhaps you would know about what Obama's doing if you actually read a newspaper, or any sort of current affairs publication.

Re: Would you join a poltical party More of an anarcho-capitalist to me. Plus, the Libs are in no way socialist.

far out brussel sprout. if i'm losing so much face then maybe i will add you! lol

Re: OKay guys, Australia never 'avoiced' the recession, Rudd was not the hero Your dictation of opinionated economic claptrap has no credence whatsoever without objective proof. See this thread for a proper discussion...

What do you mean 'etc'? Coz I didn't notice any others. Unless you mean the lassiez-faire rambling, which wasn't really argumentative in the scientific sense.

Gee whizzakers. Iraq and terrorists were light years apart, even if that country did have a tyrannical regime. The operative word in terms of government is more stable and fair. In reality, neither have a system that approaches stable and fair. In fact, most Iraqis want the US to get the hell...

Well it's all countries or no countries (in terms of immunity or not), otherwise the argument becomes pure hypocrisy imho. Though I would say the state is not exactly an infallible entity, so it should not be treated as such.

Re: The domestic affairs of countries should be subjected to international scrutiny.. I suppose we did. But who cares - we only had to convince them that it actualy made sense, after all.
