I find Nemesio's technique more often than not to be challenging, whichever point he tries to make. (Although I still disagree with the orange-filled fridge 🙂)
pcaspian is challenging and expands detail well.
omnislash I have yet to place myself against, but I look forward to the challenge in the future
Special mention should go to both KellyJay for deflection, how that man avoids answering issues by creating a new metaphor is legendary 🙂 And also to dj2becker, who's ability to anger me with sheer boldfaced inconsequentialities is unbelievable! I doff my cap to all of you.
Also like to big up the a-theists for a sec:
prn is fantastic at settling emotions which may rise throughout a debate, he is calm, logical and well informed, a refreshing face to see in a page of posts.
rwingett is good, although I have occasionally decided I don't agree with the way he takes a debate, having supported him in the earlier stages. Often comes to my aid though 🙂
I have yet to encounter much of bbar, but his reputation preceeds him.
Mostly I'd like to say I think all of you are great, I wouldn't want any of you to stop debating (even you dj2becker 🙂) as I feel really invigorated from some of our conversations, cheers to you all 😀
Given that Bush and many of those who support him see themselves as 'agents of God', this thread also refers to those who appear to be inclined towards politics.
I don't care who the better debater is in such regards.
Bush is a liar and a war monger. Bush and those who support him are a threat to the security of the world.
Originally posted by geniusYeah I give STANG a negative too, he does to threads what Bush does to countries.
well-no-your making a sweeping statement based on a very small sample population (RBHill). so pretty much you're talking outta your arse 🙂
and can STANG get my negative? he kinda forgets to, you know, argue his points...
Originally posted by STANGYour point is that you're a warmonger and a threat to the security of the world?
My point exactly !
STANG people ware sick of hearing you preach, you rarely enter into proper debate about thread issues. You are more concerned with flyposting threads because people don't wish to listen to you anymore. And the thing is, the more you cast your opinion around, the more people will avoid you. I have a similar view to you on the state of American politics, but I am fed up to the back teeth with having to encounter your mindless agenda. You're not helping change people's opinion, encouraging them to see things differently and maybe change their minds. Instead you are isolating yourself, annoying people and generally wasting any chance you have of making any real point.
If you are too stupid to see this, then I suppose you will continue to make a mockery of your stand against Bush. If you really believe in what you are saying then try a different tact, at the moment you sound 12 years old and stuck on repeat. It's dull, irritating and futile.
KellyJay may be my favorite religious sparring partner. He's willing to have serious discussions about fun fringe cases like fire-breathing animals, and the micro-logistics of the Ark story. He distinguishes himself in this way from most others who either dismiss those sorts of topics as irrelevant or simply resort to "God works in mysterious ways." KellyJay goes to great lengths to battle out just about anything you want to challenge him on, without resorting to calling you names or asking for you to be banned from the site for challenging his ideas. In these ways, he is worthy while others are a waste of time.
