    I'll make one last effort to take you seriously. Again: Where did you get the idea that people who are afraid of flying can't possibly fly? Explain it.. Show scientific studies, or expert opinions from professionals, or... any objective soource.... to justify this assumption. Because without that assumption, your whole argument is invalidated. People who are afraid of flying avoid flaying when they can. But that doesn't mean they don't fly. So listing the times she has flown toes not help your case at all.

    You can also be taken seriously by admitting that there is no justification. Insisting on the point and not justifying it will only demonstrate that you are repeating a right-wingnut talking point without bothering to question it's validity.

    It's nothing personal. But fact-based reason and logic are required in a serious debate. It's important for us to know with whom we can have a worthwhile debate, and who is only one notch above a Russian bot that just repeats propaganda..

    She was selective. She could fly to a polygraph, but could 't fly to meet with the senate. And you don't see anything wrong with that? Get serious.
    And I expect the same out of you. So far you are seriously lacking.

    True... If you believe the world is defined by the Urban Dictionary. For a lot of people, it is not.

    This game was sold around the same time.

    I do not. Please explain what is "wrong" with that.

    You did not answer my question. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe there is an answer to the above question I hadn't thought of. If there isn't, then you need to answer the question and stop the B.S. It's a simple question.

    Where did you get the idea that people who are afraid of flying can't fly?

    I'll even help you with a list of acceptable answers that would show that you are a serious debater.
    1- An article from a reputed magazine in which your assertion is supported
    2- An adequate connection. In which you acknowledge that, as we all know, people who are afraid of flying would avoid flying whenever they can. So they'll fly sometimes, but won't others. Depending on their anxiety level at that precise moment in time, and other factors.

    I have never... never... refused to answer to a direct question related to a topic I am debating. Clearly and to the point . Therefore, my credibility is intact. Yours is in jeopardy. Answering clearly is not responding a question with another question. It's not eluding the question. It's just plain... answering it.

    Be serious. your credibility only exists in your own mind. You made allegations in the op and claimed they were proven when in point of fact they were not proven. Your opening premise was flawed, and that alone doomed everything dangling from it.

    You have reached the silly stage. You lost. Kavanaugh is a supreme court justice.

    We all lost. Especially you. Who weren't even able to respond to a simple question.

    I'm not sure what you're doing here if you can't even respond to simple direct questions about your position. Trolling?

    I have responded repeatedly. She is selective in her fear of flying. She was able to fly to a polygraph and other locations, but when it came to an important meeting with the senate, she was afraid of flying. It sounds suspiciously like she was helping the democrats delay the hearings. If you do not see a problem with that, then you have a problem.

    I am not going to keep responding to your useless comments.

    Of course she is! That's how phobias work. You can fly when you have no choice. Or you can fly when there is a positive compensation at the end. You're terrified, but you do it anyway. But you would be completely unable when you are flying to be interrogated by 11 angry white men who are going to drill you about the worst episode of your life and accuse you of lying about it!

    Basic Psychology 101. I'm not surprised that a Trump supporter doesn't have the basic knowledge that any moderately educated individual would. And I don't fault you for that. I do fault you for accepting and repeating the talking points of pundits without even questioning them. If you learn from this, it would not only be beneficial to you on this forum. But in life....

    But at least now I'm reassured that it's not that you are feigning it (as I thought before). But that it was an actual lack of understanding of basic concepts about Human Psychology

    Not surprised a bit that you can rationalize it.

    Ford described "weekday gatherings at friends’ houses after a workout or just to meet up and have some beers?" Surely you can't be serious.

    Okay, I just did a search and Google only returns results relating to the Kavanaugh hearing. What source are you saying states such definitions?

    Ford as well as all the other accusers were lying. Kavanaugh is a supreme Court Justice. It's over.

    I'm about the same age as Cavanaugh and while I will freely admit that I'm not a "man of the world" I was a teenager.

    And I had never heard of "Devil's Triangle" or "boofing"

    She specified "after a workout?"

    Would you say that the definitions are multi-sourced? There is an Urban Dictionary 'definition' for 'devil's triangle', but you are far too intelligent a man to consider that a reliable source. Or are you?

    You haven't? Are you serious? That is shocking! According to @Golem, they are confirmed sexual acts! :roflol:

    Sure. Why? What's your problem with the Urban Dictionary? In any case, the most definite and reliable sources are probably porn pages.

    You've actually looked it up on porn sites?

    Why is it so incredible for folks to believe that Brat "pickled liver" Kavanaugh would lie? He has been caught on video lying under oath to Congress on more than one occasion. When someone shows you who they are...believe them.

    I can believe it, just not based on the ridiculous things that the OP was talking about! Are you saying that Ford described "weekday gatherings at friends’ houses after a workout or just to meet up and have some beers?" Are you saying that 'Devil’s Triangle' and 'boofing' are sexual acts?

    You mean during the confirmation hearing?

    Five Times Brett Kavanaugh Appears to Have Lied to Congress While Under Oath
    Pesky documents keep surfacing to contradict the nominee’s claims about his past.

    Why are you not able to answer these questions? Here is what you said you would use "***" for:
    By asking these two questions, how exactly was I making up statements and ascribing them to you? Instead, you are now pathetically, CONVENIENTLY using them to avoid answering tough questions! :roflol:
