I don't do mass debating - I've outsourced instead.
Those that say they don't are liars...

On that note, can any Americans confirm that Afgan Hounds were renamed "liberty pups" a couple of years back?

When one of the TTers who enjoy rational debate says "but you're walking down a slippery slope there" or "you're arguing semantics" or "you're building a straw man," it immediately gets interpreted as "shut up you freakin' idjit, whadyou know?! You can't possibly be as smart as we are!"
Oh - so that's the translation of
"You are not using logic, fuckwit!" ?
that gets interpreted as "Who is that arrogant condescending person" ?
I guess it is all in the language.

"Ha! On the contrary, it's more often the case that, whenever a discussion with any level of "depth" is occurring,..."
"When one of the TTers who enjoy rational debate says..."
"and those with less knowledge accept that position of authority..."
"As soon as *anyone* speaks with authority about anything remotely cerebral,..."
"suddenly everyone is an expert..."
+ other patronising stuff.

Ha!! Aww! You are such a meanie! I can't believe you spout this stuff!
Anyway (and luckily enough) posters on TT with Less Knowledge & Authority As Rated By IPJ (and those rated well by IPJ also) tend to be open to having discussions without worrying about (or accepting) someone elses supposed position of authority on any given subject.
Which is exactly why TT is great and we get some interesting debates, whether they are self-declared authority on the subject, IPJ declared authority or just someone with something interesting to say.
It'd be boring if it was just a few insisting on educating others with their authoritar.
Long Live Opinions! Hooray!!
Speaking of mass debates, a couple friends were on the Massachusetts state debate team... Making them official Mass debators.

Really? I've said "you are not using logic, fuckwit?" Quote me where I said that. Provide a link. I'd like to see it.

And I'm the one who's condescending and rude?
My Vincent (aged 4 and 3/4) says please play nicely:
Nice photo JE, I can see the family resemblance, but how come there isn't any orange in the shot ?
Are those antennae coming out of the top of his head?
I want an introduction in 15 years time.
That's so wrong in so many ways.

Looking again I am more worried about the ignition cord hanging out of his trunks.

And showem's right - he'll be a hottie when he's older, too.
Not necessarily - that's what people said about me too when I was a kid and look how I turned out...

Well, even if he's fishing, he's still a hottie. But I've got a thing for Aussies.
