Damn...and i thought this was going to be a funny thread to keep track of.....

But no.....ya'll have to go ruin it with all this BS.

(sigh)

They started it!

Sorry, no. You started it, and are clearly trying to drag others into it with bullshit comments like this:

Nice of you to simply dismiss someone by calling them biased without any supporting information. This is the textbook definition of trolling.

Frankly, I'm shocked Kryo hasn't locked this topic yet. Take your idiocy to the appropriate part of Joe User, we'd rather not hear about it.

WIlly, did you bother reading the entire thread? Also, lighten up.

Yes, I did. And I'll lighten up when you get a clue. Looks like we'll both be waiting a while.

 Why do people take such offense with strangers? You draw rather harsh conclusions for someone who does not know me, nor has ever directly confronted me without such bitter resentment.

In the interest of keeping the peace, I am going to resign from this hostile thread. Feel free to attack me as you see fit, as I no longer consider it fruitful to respond.

Exactly the effect I had hoped for. Thank you.

Well, considering that your intention was to intimidate me into leaving the discussion, instead of engaging me in honest debate, I suppose I'll do you a favor and retract my above statement. I can't let someone discourage discourse through thuggery, now can I? (Although you really do suffer from a bully complex, I'll give you that.)

Sorry!

I have no intention of "engaging you in honest debate" because I have read the preceding two pages, and you have proven yourself incapable of such a debate. Ask Jonnan, if I think I can convince someone of something, I'll jump in with both feet and a clue-by-four.

Bring your hours of research with you, please. I'd hate to lose an argument and discover that you only invested 15 hours preparing a counter-point.

I'd rather not, at least not in this topic. It effectively ended on Jonnan's reply 49, and the actual content of the topic is not really worth debate. Perhaps in the healthcare topic, although that will depend on how well Mumble can hold my attention.

This thread never had any merit to begin with, Jonnan's historically accurate post included.  We can thank Justice Marshall for that fuckup.  We're supposed to have gotten a limited federal government, and most of these massively complex regulation schemes that don't in any way regulate(regulate, as it was used in the Constitution, verified by the people that actually wrote it, is to make regular, not restrict and control) would ever have been written if the federal government were staying within its prescribed boundaries.  Such insanity as which type of lightbulb you're allowed to use would be left to the states.

That none of the massive beaurocracies founded by such bills actually function in anything resembling an acceptable manner is probably more relevant to the discussion, but pointing that out is equally futile.  Jonnan can't even admit that the USPS is inefficient, so even were he to make a well reasoned post explaining things it wouldn't have gone anywhere else.  If someone were to just say that you all suck dick, that would probably have more long term value than the ensuing baseless rhetorical diarrhea.

We want signs, we want streets, we want words, we want linked images, we want proofs, we want Peace.

And, the Truth.

Or anyone else's.

Wait a minute.  He doesn't 'waste' his breath here - didn't you know?
