If you see the world in terms of Left & Right, you really aren’t seeing the world

For Parker any vagrant suggestion is validated by waving your hands at "credible" sources from a great distance, so he may try to tackle your obviously facetious diagnosis as if it were a sincere one.

(En garde, Doctor LNGR! )

I can't help it; my mother is a psychologist, and went to school while my brother and I were in high school/middle school. I can't tell you how many times I had to answer some variation of, "So, you say you're feeling this (fill in the blank). Why do you think that is?"

Eventually my mother stopped when my brother and I started parroting her whenever she yelled at us. "Mother, you say you're upset with us when my brother and I don't get our homework done. Why is this?" "Mom, you said you're feeling frustrated by the amount of traffic. Why do you feel that way?"

I consider them some of the more thoughtful and intelligent posters here, and I usually disagree with them.

I had to read that twice to make sure who it was from.

Thanks WC. Always have to be on my toes when having a debate with you.

[Winehole23]

If I might add, another WC hallmark is self-disclosure.

Very few posters here come across as truly candid, but WC will tell you what he really thinks every day.

I really respect that, even though I really disagree with him a lot.

you and Winehole are terrible at this. You would think that on such a ridiculous conspiracy theory, one of you might score at least a point...

If I am the guy with the ball, you two could each play this dude:

what cool calf tats LT has:




the only thing cooler would be spur calf tats.

Just because I'm an ass at times doesn't mean I'm always like that.

Parker, you sure like to claim victory quickly and often. I guess that's easy when you don't really take the time to counter your opponent's evidence by discounting it out-of-hand.

Do me a favor please.

Point to a single peice of evidence offered up by WH or Blake. Just one.

That goes for anyone.

Now, before we wait entirely too long for a response, let me answer that for you: you cant. They offered no evidence. Ha.

I'll take the W then!

[Parker2112]

Maybe Parker got tired of getting form tackled.

When you start addressing: the studies cited, the investigation you didnt know anything about (starting at post 1), the aluminum industry's influence, then you might have a shot at racking up a point here and there.

Until then, all the "you're a conspiracy nut so I win" talk makes you an easy mark and leaves you with the goose egg.

Did you know that paranoia is thought of as a more advanced form of projection?

And some fun info from Wikipedia on paranoid personality disorder:








Of course, all attempts at armchair psychological diagnoses should be taken with a mountain of salt.

Here we go again. Way to tackle the issues, lil pardner.

The OP deplores partisanship as a cognitive defect, then you use it as a platform to bash "the right". Comedy gold.

[Parker2112]

For Parker any vagrant suggestion is validated by waving your hands at "credible" sources ...

have you even begun to discredit them?

Let me answer that: .

Many thought LD was going to be one of the best to ever play. We all know that story.

The OP deplores partisanship, then the follow up points out the most extreme example.

You suck at this.

[Winehole23]

have you even begun to discredit them?

Have you stopped waving your hands?

[Winehole23]

You suck at this.

Eh, mebbe, but your stubborn refusal to own the obvious flaws of your own presentation does you no credit.

[Parker2112]

Have you stopped waving your hands?

thats what this is about. My sarcasm has struck a nerve. Its not about fluoride at all, is it?

[Parker2112]

Eh, mebbe, but your stubborn refusal to own the obvious flaws of your own presentation does you no credit.

I readily admit I dont do the research. I dont verify sources. Thats why I dont claim to make solid arguments. Thats why I phrase my with "?"'s all the time. Yes Im lazy, and short on time for real research. And I usually assume someone like you or chump will have dealt with a given issue for yourselves and point out the solid take.

HOWEVER, That hasnt precluded me from swatting down the name calling in this thread, as it is trying to be passed off as half-hearted attempt at rhetoric.

You're against name-calling. That's a rich one.

[Parker2112]

going from thread to thread with new attacks on old threads, I mean.

[Winehole23]

Oh, you turned over a new leaf when you started this one?

[Winehole23]

I beg your pardon, maestro. Please overlook my crass insinuation.

[Parker2112]

You're against name-calling. That's a rich one.

I dont care about name-calling. But dont try to pass it off as argument and expect anything but ownership.

One strawman after another? Really? Is that your best shot here?

WH, I know you better than this man. Really.

[Winehole23]

I dont care about name-calling. But dont try to pass it off as argument and expect anything but ownership.

I wasn't passing it off as anything but criticism of you. Seems you can't take it.

Pobrecito.

[Winehole23]

It can't be very easy to be so vain and so full of at the same time.

Did I show signs of cracking?
