@John: You misinterpret pretty much anything I say. Sometimes I think you do it on purpose and then other times I honestly believe that you have no clue about something I said or why I said it.
I ask questions sometimes to try to get you to follow a path of logic to a conclusion. Inevitably, you either arrive at some illogical conclusion or think that was my position for some reason. For example, I asked you how it was logical to be bullying your opponents. You "misinterpreted" that to mean that I was saying it was logical and then went on to unnecessarily try to educate me on what logic is.
I was trying to get you to realize that your bullying was not at all logical but the lesson was sadly lost on you.
Some would call this dishonest debate.
Or how about when you asked me if I was going to pay for restaurants that went out of business when no-smoking laws went into practice. Rather than label you as a socialist for presenting this socialist idea, I gave you some credit and tailored a response based on the point you were getting at.
See how that works?
You totally glossed over my rendition comment. You are against rendition but in favour of torture? I find that strange.
