niceguyeddie,

If you're looking for intelligent debate, Ferret isn't your man. He's more of a rhetoric man than an intelligent debater. Here's a fun exercise - print out all the posts by Ferret, then cross out the statements that are nothing more than unsubstansiated, off-the-wall rhetoric. It leaves you with this:

Ty for posting ur opinions John the usual very interesting replies. I dont think anyone wants to hear what I would say about it so I wont. lolol

**John Scott** · 10-29-2004, 11:53 PM

You know what would be fun? If the debate had to follow strict logical debating standards.

docquesting · 10-29-2004, 11:56 PM

Hahahahaha That aint gona happen unless you had set off rules off to the side that people had to go by. But even then ya no ud get some odd person.

Logic? Oh come on John, we don't want to make it hard on people around here. I think if we forced people to use logic in every post this forum would be quieter then a gagged mute.

docquesting · 10-29-2004, 11:58 PM

I think he meant specifically in debates like these. Sorta a foxnews type debate.

Atom · 10-29-2004, 11:58 PM

Well if he'd stay outta that damn root cellar he'd probably be a lot better off.

I think it's them mushrooms down there. Course it could be what's in them cannin' jars too.

Rivux · 10-29-2004, 11:59 PM

So people are only supposed to use logic while debating? I would prefer if they used it all the time, but I guess you have to start somewhere.

docquesting · 10-30-2004, 12:00 AM

Hmmm I doubt he got a root celler within 50 miles lol. Maybe you meant his server closet it gets a little hot in there ya know.

Me too. It sucks.

But somehow I'm thinking that it isn't enough to simply hate it.

Something just isn't right with having only 2 or 3 pres. candidates trained in the current political system, so simply voting isn't enough either....it's like, well would you like your rotten eggs over hard or scrambled. LOL

I have never seen a pres. candidate that did not appear robotic. Know what I mean?

It's like, they are proud of the cleverness of the speech, while the words actually said are secondary and not even that important in some cases.

It's just seems so ........... phony, especially when it turns out that each successive pres. doesn't fulfill the promises... I dunno..

People think they're gonna make big changes by voting between a couple of robots?

um... that ain't ever gonna change a thing, I'm afraid.

Atom · 10-30-2004, 12:38 AM

Just cause our system is the best there is doesn't make it ok, but people seem to think it's ok though, so fuk it... do your thing...

I won't be participating, best we got or not, I just don't like rotten eggs. I hate phoniness in anyone, I don't care who they are or why the phoniness is "necessary".

People don't know what truth is anymore.... there's just no room for it in today's world.

Well... guess I'll just have to keep living in my own damn world then.

I wasn't born a hermit. But I'll die one Gdammit.

Well... don't bother answering, I'll just assume it's more conjecture, and very much on topic in this thread.

docquesting · 10-30-2004, 01:05 AM

Never but I have had friends of friends who have been there an seen people get shot for very little things. Thats all the closer I wanna be.

Atom I really like ya a lot you seem to be an ok guy and I know that you dont support either potential. Here is what I really dont like is people that talk bad about either or party and dont take the time to go vote. Thats the least that person could do on there part instead of just talkin about how bad one or the other party is. Take your pick and vote for the one you atleast think is more along the right line even if you dont totally agrea with everything. It makes a lot more since than just talking about how bad things are and not even doing anything about it or attempt too.

P.s Dont take that to personal please. Its just one of my pet peaves.

You think it's sink or swim, and that's ok.

I prefer to float.

Is that ok?

Atom · 10-30-2004, 01:24 AM

Don't bother answering, cause I don't really care what your answer is.

Do you even know what conjecture is?

A guess is a guess no matter HOW "educated" it is.

This is precisely what makes people look foolish and gets them into trouble in threads like this.

"Better than living in China" you say?

Doc that statement is conjecture, do you realize this?

docquesting · 10-30-2004, 01:28 AM

Nope me dont think so. But thanks for explaining what the word meant lol. I dont know everything thats for sure.
