Debate Now Who are the serious debaters on this forum?

[Orangecat]

History has taught me that anyone who claims 'I have the truth' have anything but.

Too bad it didn’t teach you critical thinking skills or deductive reasoning.

 

[Orangecat]

Oh. So the founders weren't classic liberals then. That makes more sense.

In many important respects, they were. Stop being a weenie.

 

[westwall]

Incompetent rebuttal, lacks substance.

Now then, I make claims, substantiate them, offer opinions with paths of reasoning, and your refusal to engage in a valid discourse is a cop out. There is no accurate other way to put it.
You further embolden that fact with a pseudo debate trick called posturing, which has many variants, this one is called 'trivializing an argument', in a feeble attempt to puff yourself up. How sophomoric.

FFS, use the spell checker.

Anyway, Incompetent retort, ad hom/false characterization, lacks substantiation

Now, it does seem that you are a bigot, not positive, but you are blowing that particular skin flute, so it kinda fits you, nicely. Now, sure, I could be wrong, but since a guy like you doesn't give a damn about facts, well, hell, then I guess you're a hypocritical bigot. Right? Why not, it's becoming to you, you wear that suit well. But, unlike you, I will extend to you the courtesy of asking you to prove me wrong. I'll be waiting, even if it is more likely than not, as evidenced above, your reply will be another cop out.

If I were you, I'd drop your attempts to be a sesquipedalian, you remind me of a hobo trying to fit into a tux.

Your OP lacks substance. So, you get what you give.

Silly boi.

Well, not the OP. That’s for sure.

Isn't Salinger the The Catcher In The Rye dude? Pretty light, I thought.

I find it interesting that Rumpole was name dropping famous authors. Didn't Diane Chambers on Cheers do the same thing? What did viewers think of her?

 

[Rumpole]

So, are you placing him in the sentient group, the well-adjusted group, the sensible group or the non pompous ass group?

No, I'm placing you in the 'not to be taken seriously' group.

I know you don't give a damn, as you really don't give a shit about anything worth a fuck, right?

But, in you go. no go pester someone else.

Silly boi.

Text book cop out.

Congrats.

Except as regards things like liberty and rights. I hear ya'. Those things must not be important to classic liberals.

 

[Rumpole]

I’m not going to waste my time turning heathens into men of God

If your soul is lost thats your problem not mine

This isn't a debate on religion. Take it where it belongs. I was just referring to your circularism.

Who the hell gives a fuck about TV characters?

If we have a pompous ass group, I want to vote in a new member.

 

[cnm]

I get it now. Property rights over chattels are the important rights to classic liberals. My bad.

 

[Rumpole]

It comes down to one choice, government run or privately run.what are you?

Tell me what it is you want run, and I'll answer your question.

 

[Oddball]

Too bad it didn’t teach you critical thinking skills or deductive reasoning.

Or proper sentence structure.

 

[lennypartiv]

Tell me what it is you want run, and I'll answer your question.

Do you agree with the Betsy DeVos plan to fix our failing education system?

 

[The Duke]

Do you agree with the Betsy DeVos plan to fix our failing education system?

Did it involve nixing the "Dept. of Education?

 

[BackAgain]

No, I'm placing you in the 'not to be taken seriously' group.

DumpHole’s illiteracy keeps showing up.

When you refer to Salinger as " 'The Catcher In The Rye' dude, pretty light..." you are waving the flag of ignorance.

Is that the flag you want to wave? Anyone educated in literature knows who Salinger is, in the line up of great American authors. I suspect you might be tad lost over the fact that the book is a favorite of one particular young incel murderer, but it surely doesn't mean he's not a great writer. "The Catcher in the Rye" is frequently included in lists of the greatest American novels of the 20th century. Salinger's influence on subsequent generations of writers, particularly in the realm of young adult literature, is also noteworthy. Query, young man, before you hit the 'submit reply' button. Cheers, Rumpole.

Sure. Merely demonstrates the quality of American literary criticism.
