Secondly, you're right. If I am offended, it is my problem. And like you, I shall let you know about it if it offends me in such a way I feel compelled to. Much like you always do.
The thing is, you segregate yourself from everyone else. you say one thing (such as "if it offends you, it's your problem, not mine" but then in the same situation when the tables are turned, you make a lengthy post about it, and call it a "reasonable argument" and in so many words try and belittle whoever you're talking to with some sort of "witty" (not witty) comment at the very end that doesn't make any sort of connotation towards your age at all.
You have three people telling you the exact same thing.
I hilariously await your absolutely hilarious reply as to why we're all wrong.
And take note, I haven't said anything offensive towards you. I never called you a name, or made any judgement on character in a defaming way.
But if I offended you, that's your problem - not mine.
PS. See what I did there? I ended my post like you. This is fun. I see why you do it all the time now.  |
Typhoid, I apologize, as most of my comments were directed at you, but intended to be a response to Dyflon's insult. I can see how I caused the confusion, though.
And I have three people telling me that I'm wrong??? Stop the presses!!! I completely change my entire way of thing!!! Once again, this forum is not in any shape a microcosm of the real world and to call it a bastion of informed discussion would be an insult to informed discussion.
By the way, it doesn't take three people to change the way I think, it only takes one person who can use EVIDENCE, RESOURCE and REASON to SHOW MW WHY MY BELIEFS ARE INCORRECT. Xantar has done this on numerous occassions, as I'm sure I have done for him as well. Just telling me I'm wrong because you think I am is masturbatory, while informed discussion is enlightening.
And I'm not sure why you think I'd be offended by what you and Dyflon say. I never have been and I've never shown myself to be. I don't take political discussion personally, and if anyone does, they are silly and automatically rule out liking 50% of the populace at least. Thats why I say I don't think of Dyflon eiter in like or dislike, because all we ever talk about is political topics and I never base such things as "like liking" someone based on that.
Two of my best friends are flaming liberals, and we have heated arguments all the time and we remain great friends. Its not a sign that we're jerks, its a sign that we are passionate about our beliefs and have the balls to stand by them and defend them as if we cared and inform ourselves about them as if we cared. An untested opinion is the most worthless thing in the world.
FYI, I broke this up into smaller paragraphs as I hear my long winded, detailed nature is difficult for some people to read. Next time I'll just bullet point everything in easily digestable and meaningnes soundbytes... (that was not intended towards you, Typhoid)
