 Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2005 8:45 pm Post subject: When does arguing get out of hand? |
 |
|
I can expect this happening at this forum and others. I was at another forum which used to hold serious discussions on politics and religion. It used to get nasty in there sometimes due to the nature of those two topics. There's always going to be opposing forces in those topics.
I think these should be some of the ground rules:
*ABSOLUTELY NO NAME CALLING(CURSING).
*NO PROFANITY.
*NO CAPS OR YELLING OR TOO MANY EXCLAMATION MARKS.
*NO PUT DOWNS OF MEMBERS.
*NO HARRASSING OVER EMAIL OR PMS.
That's all I can think of on top of my head, feel free to add more. |

See point #3
I definitely agree that intelligent discussion is much more beneficial than pointless flaming.

| Well, I respect all your point of view. Infact, I'm not idealistic but realistic. Honestly, I hate to follow rules. It's just sometimes I don't have any choice. |

It is nothing but pure, raw political correctness to say that you "respect" all opinions. Opinions without facts or some basis in fact are nothing but rumors, lies or inuendos and should not command anyone's respect.
Respect is something that must be "earned" and this "fact" has been lost on our politically correct asinine culture. You should NOT respect all opinions unless you want to place yourself in the lowly position of respecting "lies, rumors, gossip and jabber-jaw bullsh*t!!!
Save your "respect" for those opinions that are truly worthy of respect...be very selective with your respect...opinions that are built upon truths, facts, research and reasoned assessments are the earners of respect. Everything else is pure mindless crap and totally worthless. |

I agree, whole heartedly. I also believe that to give credence to someone's opinions simply because they hold strong beliefs is equally cowardly and craven. People have a way of interpreting "facts" to match their opinion. |

Then you must also agree that a gasbag who has not posted a single fact, source, to support any of his/hers/its views yet accuses another (who do post sources, links, qotes, etc) in support of his views is nothing more than the typical uninformed lib-leftist puke whose only contribtuion to a debating website is name-calling & personal insults. |

Of course you would have to label and catagorize people to make your world work. And there are any number of web sites and publications designed to give credibilty to what ever pre-conceived notions you might have. So that doesn't really matter. You obviously cherry pick and mix and match your sources to fit your petty agenda. You are obviously the school yard bully here. A lot of bluster. But not much real substance. Your stuff breaks down easy. I have always welcomed the opportunity to kick the crap out of the bully. You will be hearing more from me. See ya. |

Yes...labeling and categorizing is what the human brain does and why we have language that supports that thought process. When libs can't debate points due to their ignorance of facts and truths, you can always count on them to whine about being labeled, etc. It seems that they can't deal with the reality that most thoughts and language is nothing but a process of categorizing.

You are hereby challenged to pick any of posts for debate on the facts!

| Very sporting of you old boy. I'm sure. I gladly accept your challenge. What ever topic you like. We could talk about Iraq. But that's been over done, don't you think? Both sides on that question end up in a circular argument, leading no where. I should have a lot more to say about that one in a couple of months or so. Maybe we should start with something less emotional. You seem to have a particular interest in history and military related subjects. That works good for me. I have a passing knowlege of those subjects. I like the classics. Thucydides, Xenophon, Plutarch, Herodotus, Caesar, Tacitus, Polybius, Suetonius, Clausewitz; you get the idea. I enjoy reading about western civilization. I have only superficial knowlege of eastern culture. But we can discuss what ever. Politics, religion, history, anything. |

Well...you've made a number of insulting posts in my thread about Abe Lincoln starting the civil war. Why don't you pick out some of my facts that you call 'spin" or have impuned and bring your facts to the table for a debate?

Well...it sounds like you're studying up on iraq. If you don't want to discuss iraq proper at this time, how about debating the issue of the lying liberal media and the lying liberal congress accusing Bush of lying about pre-war intel, WMDs, etc?? On second thought, since I know for a fact that you will not find a sentilla of evidence/facts to support any of the lying outrageous claims made against this president on this issue, you might want to pass on this one...nothing but lib lies, rumors and ineundos...no facts.

What do the classics have to do with genuine facts and accurate history??? If they were not part of the required liberal arts curriculum that was forced down the throats of many us, I would have not wasted my time reading any of those fabels & musings to earn the required 12 credit hours. |

You are apparently not well versed in military history. My mistake. Like I said; any subject you like. Although I really hope such a debate doesn't devolve into a pissing contest of conflicting statistics and psuedo-facts. I like hear people explain why they believe things. I like to explore the premise of every question. Not just accept it at face value. I hope you can debate on those terms. |
