LOL, whatever you say FMF, it pains me to see a man with his back to the wall.
if you take the stance that the world is worse and is getting worse everyday. then this is a pessimistic view. to point this out is not insulting.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThe issue is pessimism v optimism, and negativity v positivity, and the extent to which the realities of the world inform the debate. There is no "attack on an individuals personality".

Originally posted by FMFthere was no need to say anything about the Gman being pessimistic or anything else, it has nothing to do with the issue at hand, you should be more careful.

Originally posted by robbie carrobiegalveston75's pessimism about the world and my optimism about it is the only "issue at hand" in my exchange with him, and in my subsequent exchange with you.

im strictly a fifa man these days robbie.
Originally posted by stellspalfieGalvestons personality has nothing to do with the issue at hand, he derives his outlook not from any innate pessimism, but from a scriptural understanding. It would be better to acknowledge that than attack his personality in this way.

Originally posted by Proper Knobanswer what appears to me to be more gnat straining and camel quaffing of an Oliver Reed quaffing session, what's the point?

The retort of a champion.
Are you going to answer my question in the taxes thread?
Originally posted by robbie carrobieI see. The use of the word domesticated, doesn't actually mean domesticated. We're going down the 'non standard definition of a word path'.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI haven't "attacked" anyone's "personality". You quite clearly appear to be trying to derail this debate by making this accusation over and over and over again. If galveston75 wants to show that he is not pessimistic and negative about the human condition and state of the world, let him demonstrate it. As far as I am concerned, after discussing it with him maybe a dozen times, there is nobody more pessimistic and negative than him about this issue on this forum.
