Seems Conservatives aren't too bad either (when the idiot evangelicals aren't complaining about blood/violence in movies then worshipping Mel Gibson, that is).

Dude, you're a fucking idiot. And you can just bold the entire sentence rather than bolding each word by itself

All four are being banned right now for Ban Evasion. All four Sign-On names are JLB just as RedHawk was and Lawson as well. I will also Ban any other sign on he attempts to use immediately.

If we all weren't so spread out across the US, I'd throw a party.

How quickly could you all get to the fine city of Pittsburgh? Synikul's even invited.

Am I surprised he lived in Utah? Nope. Am I surprised that he lived in Utah and only had one wife? Yep.

Catch a flight, it's not that bad. Then again, US Airways is vacating our airport for the most part. Bastards. You wouldn't happen to have any CEO friends in the airline industry, would you? If so, suggest my city as a new hub...

This was surely dgg9's downfall:

The fact is that ALL mixed-membership political boards are exactly like this one: there are flame wars, warnings, bannings, then things simmer down, then flame up again, more purges. This is not some dysfunction; this is exactly how it is.
Interesting that the reason for his being a poor debater is also the reason I thought his politics were wrong; His belief that everyone else is an arsehole and therefore it's ok if he's one too.

'this is exactly how it is'....oh yeah, that explains it perfectly.

Then when they debate, there's little common ground of shared assumptions so they talk at cross purposes.
I remember him starting in on the subtle insults almost immedietly after we first started debating. Any suprise that he should be so quick to accuse others of this?

That's why I ask if people here really want opposite POVs. This is the baggage that inevitably comes with that. If you need a peaceful forum, the only way to do that is enforce a POV policy and exclude dissenters. I'm completely serious. Otherwise, it will be exactly what it is now.
More of the same excuses. I'm so glad that at some point in my life I've learned to recognize this belief and see it for what it really is.

This honestly pissed me off more than anything, even though it's not in violation of any forum rules (from http://www.darkforum.com/showthread...4&page=27&pp=10)

Me:
'Once this hard limit is reached, how do people make money then?'

Him:
'Presumably they were already making money or they wouldn't have entered the economic venture to begin with.
Look, I recommend a basic primer on economics, rather than me spoonfeeding all this via posts. This is all basic stuff.'

Me:
'Once this hard limit is reached, how do people make money then?'

Him:
'They were already making money. You invest capital in your asset to make more money, up to a point. That doesn't mean the property was unprofitable before that point. As with any capital asset, you can invest little and make little, or invest more and make more. It's a business decision.
Again, what's your larger point? Just get to the main point, rather than play 20 Questions.'

Textbook political bamboozleing. Instead of answering the question, a load of crap to make it look like the question was answered, and some gentle insults for good measure.

This guy must be in politics somehow, he's certainly smart enough and slick enough. It would put a smile on my face if everyone wisened-up to this professional-grade bullshit and saw through it.

To define what is you in turn define what is not. Deffinition creates a form of existance even in nonexistants.

I live in Central Jersey, so not too terribly far, but too far for me to 'hang out' .
