I see no reason this can't be merged with your other thread

somehow or other, it's my fault that you can't carry on this debate.

Yeah. Uh-huh. Right.

You might be shocked to get out there on the net, into some other forums, and try making some of these types of posts.

They'd slap you down like a little gnat

and you would have neither the courage to stay

nor the intelligence to kick-back and learn something.


Aaaa ~ don't worry about it ~ we all go through it. ;)

Don't worry, I've posted on plenty of other forums. The ones that don't already expect you to construct a proper argument (i.e. back up what you say with evidential proof) aren't the ones worth sticking around on. As for learning something, lets put it this way: you're the one steadfastly refusing to provide proper quotation and citation to back up your claims. You're the one with only one or two sources as evidence in your arguments.

I've spent far too much time in the past getting involved in arguments with people like you, who fail to comprehend the fact they have to support the premises, to get involved. So yes, it is your fault. All I'm asking you to do is debate to a decent standard. As it stands you can't even construct a paragraph properly.
I realise a nursing course isn't the same as a humanities and you won't be taught how to construct an argument in any sense of depth, but that doesn't mean you can't try. Although I suppose this is where we find out you took Nursing AND Philosophy at University, were a member of the debate team, and have won many a debate against rival Colleges?

P.S. I'm the more important, so I'll make my text more obnoxious than anybody else's.

First of all, have you not read what's at on the issues? It's all of Obama's policy stuff, along with specific quotes he's made about the topic.

2nd) If your 'decent standard' for debate is to refuse to read the BASICS of the debate, then i think you might have a real problem with any debates you undertake...

p.s. i post in this font so i can see it to make editing changes, easily and quickly.

i post in this font so that my 78 year old Dad can SEE what i've written, without having to have a Drive-In-screen-sized monitor.

i post in this font because i like it, aesthetically.

i post in this font because it makes my posts easier to find.

i post in this font because i refuse to be bullied into being a follower.

Oh, yeah. It should have read MOST rather than MORE, but, hey! You can call it a typo.

No, she is the more important comma. You are just not as good at making sentences pause.

To think that he wouldn't be involved with the city that he lives in, and in that political scene, Well, of course he was involved with the city.

i'm not complaining, per se, that he does and doesn't believe in conception being the moment of life, i'm saying that since he does, it's hard to think that he would be for abortion, and absolutely horrifying to think that he would be for partial-birth abortions, where the baby's heart is beating and it is undeniably alive. It says that sometimes he believes abortion is murder and other times he doesn't, but that he's down with it, either way. Also, if he's undecided, who's to say he won't 'get a conscience' and go pro-life?

And let me get this straight ~ i'm not against anyone who doesn't want to get pregnant. But stuff happens, and hey! If you forgot to take your pills, or you left your diaphragm at home, just don't have sex. Easy. And if you can't control yourself? Guess what? Having sex makes babies. If you get pregnant, it's YOUR responsibility, not all of society's.

And for rape victims? i do believe it ought to be available. But we're talking such a low percentage that it becomes an exception to the rule.

If you think for one moment that Jesus was saying that 'Hey, folks, that's okay ~ go ahead and SLAUGHTER your children, by the thousands, because I will take them up to heaven' ~ you're whack.

And here's something else that y'all don't get about Christians ~ we believe that with the Lord, we can deal with anything. i've known women who were raped and got pregnant. You know what they had to say about it?

"The Lord took something absolutely horrible and turned it into something SO beautiful."

They weren't blaming Him for it happening, because He told us that stuff was going to happen and He promised that He'd help us through all of it.

You do know you can change font size so it's only that large on your computer don't you?

Yes, and thank you! i do have other reasons for liking this, too, though, and i don't like my screen so big i have to keep scrolling back and forth.

i mean, if it's this big a prob, why are the options even there? :confused:

Someone wrote in the following editorial to the local paper. Who does it sound like?

I support John McCain because the election of Barack Obama will signal the end of the United States. The destruction of America began with Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. He created a federal government with powers far exceeding anything imagined by our Founding Fathers. It continued with Woodrow Wilson, who declared the era of Jefferson to be over. FDR added his brand of socialism in the 1930s. When Obama implements his Marxist policies, the coffin will be sealed on our republic forever. Kiss America good-bye, people. Welcome the United Socialist States of AmeriKa.
