chasteh 0 #126 July 30, 2009 And one more for the rock pile. I expected at least alittle bit more from you, considering at least a few of your posts have had more content in the last few days. My mistake. Theres a rock for you, too, Turtlespeed. edit: How does Kennedy's being a democrat demonstrate the generalization? It surely shows one democrat has showed socialistic tendencies. So have Bush and Reagan. Does that mean that I can make a generalization about how republicans are socialists? No. I can only say a few. Rush: Also, way to go on weakening your statement. Who would have thought, there are some (AKA At least one) democrats such that they have socialistic tendencies. Does that mean you can accurately say the democratic party is? No. You realized this and said you meant to say something else. What value, otherwise, does saying that democrats=progressives=socialists give us? Nothing.

Gotta change things to make your point??? Actually, no. The point remains. >Point stands and you dig more sand. Yes, my point still stands. And without the use of emoticons. Schopenhauer must be your daddy or something, because you are using all of the ideas of his laid out in his Principle of Sufficient Reason. (That reason isn't needed to give us truths about the world.) The problem is, it doesn't give us much when we actually try to form arguments. It only attempts to piss the opponent off so that they will not fight anymore. Thus, we can add another "rock" to your pile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chasteh 0 #140 July 31, 2009 Hold on Hold on. It isn't a defeat in Afghanistan. Were just finding more ways to piss-off Middle-Eastern militias so that they can attack us again in 20 years. Maybe that time we will get it right, sort of like all the other empires did as they tried to consume Afghanistan. Then it will be a victory Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't have any posts in the thread to which I was referring, so I guess there's been a misunderstanding. Any similarity between my snide remark and posts you may have made elsewhere is a coincidence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
