    People don't seem to understand how to discuss controversail issues on this forum. So let me explain it.

    You can say whatever you want about anything, and your still okay.

    Whats wrong is when you try to deface the person your talking to (calling them names, discrediting them) and thats when your being aggressive. So don't do that.

    Thats all, thank you.

    Sometimes you need to call a dumbass a dumbass, because they're so dumb they'll never have that epiphany on their own. Its charity really.
     
  3. debate doesn't work on an internet forum, people don't concede points, the only option left is blatant fighting

    if people did debate, conceded misproven points, realized their folly then it would be different

    but they do not, and so fighting is the only way to cow some people, plain, simple

    Opinions are adjectives.

  6. so to say that anarchy allows those who have the cruelest intentions to destroy those who are weak and without defense is an objective opinion?

    to say that if gas prices go up to high it will affect many industries as well as many peoples livlihoods is an objective opinion?

    to say that one of the first things president bush did upon entering office was to eliminate inspection of meats going to school lunches is an objective opinion


    golly gee, I didn't know facts were objective opinions

    people ignore facts, I could link to a thousand, nay tens of thousands of websites with statistics, facts, but there will always be some mindless creature of infinite ignorance who comes in and says that all the information is wrong

    I have argued opinions too, but when people say facts that are hard facts are wrong and then give no reason why and just press on with their blind deluded view of the world there is nothing that can be done, no well reasoned argument that can be made

    people are just to comfortable in their homes, they are on their turf, they are entrenched

    and when someone is sitting in their chair in their home nothing, no one can tell them that they are wrong

    I have myself been guilty of this

    there have been a few points conceded in the time I've been here

    but the vast majority, the overwhelmingly vast majority are just stand still slag and propoganda free for alls

    he said "adjective" not "objective", unless that's what he meant. :D

    Spooners right, a lot of people here say borderline retarded, and if you don't call 'em on it, they'll never learn.

    I'm too tired.

    I'll give you an example of what I meant.

    If you call somebody "stupid", then thats your opinion, its your opinion because you used an adjective "stupid".

    what about when you try and argue with someone's post (ie an original poster), and they just say you're a conservative freak that should commit suicide? There's no point in arguing, and calling people names can be kinda fun sometimes. Or deserving *cough*realkinkythreads*cough*
     
  12. wow you just completly dodged the actual point of the post......

    How dare you fucking steal my reasonably funny joke [ i was about to post] *bastard*.

    Seriously.. if both sides understand it is just a clash of POV then thats fine.. I chat with people that share my views [not many it has to be said] .. Far more don't.. The people that i 'get along with' and 'like' [mutualy i would hope] Then the boundaries and level of civilty is that more pronounced. Idiots erm sorry people with no sense of humour and no personality [or just the clash of] Is never going to cement any kind of reasonable 'debate'/'arguement'.

    Most of the debates involve communism starting a debate in politics, and all the cappies getting pissed off, then the commies get pissed off and its like *argh!*
