I find it amusing when someone feels it necessary to tell someone they plan on ignoring them. I'm pretty sure they'll figure it out when you do. It just reminds me of a child having a temper tantrum because it doesn't get its way.
Whatever you say. I am happy for you that you have something you believe. Whether you opinion is right or wrong, it is not going to make a difference with me. I know you are wrong and that is all that matters. In all your posts, you do the same thing and it has gotten to be totally meaningless.
Here is my addition to your post. I hope it makes you feel good. Life gives very few opportunities to prove who you truly are inside. It isn't something that you can generate by yourself as it takes someone else to do something to you before you are put in a position where your morals, ethics, principles and humanity have to be tested. One very simple thing that I used to tell my daughter when she was starting to date and believed her boyfriend loved her. I always used to tell her "On a Sunday when his favorite football team is playing, tell him that you need something right away from the store and ask him to get it". If he refuses, he truly does not love you. +
I politely disagree with this critical assessment of “said” poster as being a perfect example of what the OP says.
Really!!! I have now believed for some time that you are here to orate and not to debate. The incredible amount of posts from you that are put downs, disses, or simply meaningless means you are not looking to find knowledge but to give it. You are here find an audience. Probably means you are not listened to in your real life and need to go somewhere where you can feel you have some value (my interpretation of your posts).
You're still talking to me because I can read your words, and there's nothing wrong with what Overitall wrote to you above. How dare he THINK for himself while observing your words. And stop with You didn't mean it as a criticism and punishment when you decided to write this to me because in fact your words were highly critical and full of condemnation. Read them: "I am tired of hearing the same thing from you over and over again and always as a debasement of me". Btw, I didn't debase you. I debated you. I refuted what you wrote when you dismissed the meaning of ideology. Ironically, if you need an example of a bonafide debasement, review your scathing words below to me. (bolded) Review your condescending reply to @Overitall above. That's the definition of a debasement. I'm hoping what you wrote will affect you, and compel you to debate better. Have a nice afternoon, Lucky1knows. "I totally (100%) dislike the person you show yourself to be. I am through with you. Continue to believe whatever you want to believe. I do not think you have the ability to see anything other than what your own bias says. You give no value to fact, data, truth, and reality. You are convinced you are right and there is nothing that can change your mind." 34 Synonyms of DEBASEMENT | Merriam-Webster Thesaurus
I can understand that and it makes some sense. After all, the people not in power feel they should be in power and therefore want to make things happen. The people in power don't feel they need to do anything/ Nonetheless, that is all about people who have power as their #1 objective. My objective is not power, it is knowledge. Few people have that objective.
With people that show they are orators and not listeners, I stop debating. I do the same thing they do, and that is have fun with them. I love to do that because if I am here on this board, I have to do something, meaning debate or have fun. Nonetheless, the OPS I put up have links to data, fact, truths and everything that a debate requires. The reality is that you cannot debate with people that don't have open minds and that seems to apply to many here. You certainly.
People with closed minds have a habit of debating the poster and not the post. Just trying to be helpful.
Sure you can. What you probably meant to say is you can't persuade someone to your viewpoint unless they have an open mind. The fact that you put it the way you did makes me wonder if this is just your way of whining about not "winning".
Lucky1knows said: ↑ Pure BS answer Are you having a heart to heart discussion with yourself? You do realize you responded to yourself, don't you?
Really? you mean that morals, ethics, principles and humanity are different to others on the other side of the world? Explain that.
Well, I don't remember him presenting a question in the post I responded to. If I missed it it's probably because it was buried underneath a bunch of bs.
I am not trying to change people's minds at all. I am trying to show data, fact, and truth. Are you against that? Do you believe that lies, fake facts, and no data to support you opinion works?
Wow, you finally did get something right. Irony is certainly what I am supplying to this poster. How observant you are!
Sometimes. The Chinese Communist Party has entirely different values than most Americans who value freedom. If a freedom lover gets in their way, they silence them by imprisonment. Some people would say they have no principles, ethics, or morals, and that their ideology is corrupt to the core.
Yes, dear Lord. I beg your forgiveness for my mistakes. I will try to be as praiseful to who you are as you believe you deserve.
I believe in debating the post and not the poster. That means I'll offer factual information if available. Case in point. I try to avoid doing this.
I believe most of what you find on discussion forums like this is not factually debates. That most of what you will find here are but opinions -- either from the minds of the posters themselves and/or that of those they cite from others they post. I believe you really don't understand what a real debate is. You keep presenting your opinions and claim they are facts. Then when you whine about how others choose to respond to your posts you ignore the fact that you might be doing exactly what you're whining about. I'm left wondering if you lack self awareness when you do that. Here's a tip. Just stop trying to control the discussion and enjoy yourself. No one is forcing you to participate here or demanding you respond to everyone that posts to you. Do me and yourself a favor. Just read this response and don't feel you have to respond to it. I'm not expecting a response.
