[ Brett in NYC ] - 11:23pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#108 of 135) William... Never fear, Smith is here. I was able to extract just the right amount of information from him to help support my position. [ Philip II ] - 11:24pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#109 of 135) Oh, I see. Now you're being dismissive. Is that how you always act when your proven wrong? [ Surely you are joking ] - 11:24pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#110 of 135) No. He usually gets all flustered and fake cries for pity. [ Brett in NYC ] - 11:26pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#111 of 135) Oh Sirley....I like you, you're silly. [ Philip II ] - 11:26pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#112 of 135) Marvelous. More insults. Don't you folks know what "debate" means? [ Surely you are joking ] - 11:28pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#113 of 135) I took a Public Speaking class in ninth grade, and we had a debate over the contamination of ground water. I was anti-groundwater contamination. [ Philip II ] - 11:29pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#114 of 135) That's nice. I don't like groundwater contamination either. [ Brett in NYC ] - 11:29pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#115 of 135) "I was anti-groundwater contamination" . Clearly, history has proven you wrong. ;-) [ Surely you are joking ] - 11:30pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#116 of 135) Yes it has. :) [ Philip II ] - 11:37pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#117 of 135) This is incredible. Now you "rationalists" are insisting ground water contamination is a good thing? [ billytea ] - 11:44pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#118 of 135) "Marvelous. More insults. Don't you folks know what "debate" means?" Bugger, I knew I should have paid attention in English. Phil, do you know what 'pointless' means? "Now you "rationalists" are insisting ground water contamination is a good thing?" Not at all, just that lack of ground water contamination is a bad thing. It's an important distinction. Phil Debates with Brett on the merits of groundwater contamination some more on another thread. [ Philip II ] - 11:51pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#1106 of 1145) Annoying, too? You're the one who thinks contaminated ground water is good, Brett. [ Brett in NYC ] - 11:54pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#1107 of 1145) No, as william said, I think the lack of ground contamination water is bad. [ Philip II ] - 11:55pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#1108 of 1145) See how illogical that sounds? What's wrong with you? Doesn't your brain work? [ Brett in NYC ] - 11:56pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#1109 of 1145) You just don't get it. [ Philip II ] - 11:59pm Jun 12, 2000 EST (#1110 of 1145) No, I think you're the one who doesn't get it. Any fool, any cretin knows that bad water is bad. How much simpler can you get? [ Brett in NYC ] - 12:01am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1111 of 1145) You see...you did it again. You assumed that the contamination of the water was bad. [ Philip II ] - 12:02am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1112 of 1145) It is bad. There nothing wrong with assuming such an obvious thing. [ Brett in NYC ] - 12:04am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1113 of 1145) What if the water was contaminated with Floride? [ Philip II ] - 12:05am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1114 of 1145) Florinations was a communist plot to taint our bodily fluids. Now that the cold war is over, all of a sudden they find out it may not be so good after all. Coincidence? I think not. [ Brett in NYC ] - 12:06am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1115 of 1145) No more soup for you. NEXT! [ Philip II ] - 12:08am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1116 of 1145) What are you talking about. No one mentioned soup. Just read all of the labels on a toothpaste container. Fluoride is a bit suspect after taking a look at all that. [ billytea ] - 12:09am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1117 of 1145) "Billy, there is a difference between silliness and absurdity. I had this in mind when I posted. You seem to have missed this, however." It's the difference that I'm complaining about, Phil. I can't believe you're going all limp on me. Don't make me get the air pump. "Right now, you're being silly. You know perfectly well what logic is, and I am sure that you are aware that logic dictates one side is correct. Specifically, mine." Look, Cop-A-Phil, I like shooting fish in a barrel as much as the next man, but I'd like them to at least be moving. D'you think you could at least grab the tail and jiggle it back and forth a bit? "And finally, are you threatening me? Is another "rationalist" debating technique?" Yeah, right up there with "Do you know who you're pickin'", "So's your Mother" and "You know I'm right". I've always enjoyed the Net Threat. It's that feeling of impotence that lets me know I'm living my life right. [ Philip II ] - 12:11am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1118 of 1145) Fish in a barrel? Your delusions of grandeur are such that you view any discourse with another person as such? Get help, Billy. Please. [ billytea ] - 12:26am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1119 of 1145) "Fish in a barrel? Your delusions of grandeur are such that you view any discourse with another person as such? Get help, Billy. Please." Ok, anyone else want to help here? Oh well, looks like it's just me. Phil, I can only speculate how you get from me referring to one comment of yours as shooting fish in a barrel to any discourse with any person. I'm guessing that it's being told you're other people too. You may have started to believe your own press releases. My little mate Phil one unique guy. He funniest thing to happen to me all day. I treat him special. [ Surely you are joking ] - 12:26am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1120 of 1145) Well, I was going to watch Being John Malkovich. For all the good I've heard about it, I can't tear myself away from this to go watch it. [ Philip II ] - 12:29am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1121 of 1145) Look, I don't know what you think you have to gain by making weak attempts at making fun of me. Nor do I know why you find it necessary to insinuate that I am mentally ill. The only logical conclusions is that your beliefs are built on sinking sand, and you are desperately clawing at whatever you think might postpone the inevitable. Can't you wake up and see reality. Just once? [ Surely you are joking ] - 12:31am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1122 of 1145) I think that's got something to do with the movie I'm trying to watch. [ Philip II ] - 12:32am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1123 of 1145) What movie is that? Some asinine "rationalist" flick? [ KAM1953F ] - 12:32am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1124 of 1145) Phillip, the first thing a teacher needs to know is to curtail his assumption that he knows all and the student knows nothing. Otherwise, instead of imparting knowledge, he just comes across as a pompous ass. Why not take a deep breath, and try to muster a little respect for the people you are bickering with? You don't even know us, and you are making many poor assumptions. [ billytea ] - 12:33am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1125 of 1145) “Can't you wake up and see reality. Just once?” You know, I thought it was just the mirror I had installed on my bedroom ceiling. “Look, I don't know what you think you have to gain by making weak attempts at making fun of me.” Cheap laughs. I kind of hoped it was obvious. “Nor do I know why you find it necessary to insinuate that I am mentally ill.” Desperation, Wild Phil Hickock. It's the only way I can disguise my mad passion for you. Phil, you're a truly funny guy, and I hope one day you get comfortable enough with your beliefs that you don't have to play school bully to prop them up. Until then, have a good one, and stay away from sharp objects. [ Philip II ] - 12:34am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1127 of 1145) Muster respect? How can I do that? They’re all wrong! They know nothing. How am I supposed to respect such squalid ignorance. Love the sinner, hate the sin. [ KAM1953F ] - 12:45am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1132 of 1145) “Muster respect? How can I do that? Their all wrong! They know nothing.” Okay. Suggestion, Phil--if you stop talking like a know-it-all, people will stop confusing you with other posters who also talk like know-it-alls. [ Philip II ] - 12:47am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1133 of 1145) I'm not a know-it-all. Nor do I claim to be. I'm just ordinary. The problem lies with everyone else, who are sub-ordinary. [ billytea ] - 12:48am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1134 of 1145) “Jamaica was great, William. At least the resort was. Seeing the country itself is a bit depressing for a pinko like myself.” A common problem with travel. Still, I'm glad you had fun. As you can tell, it's business as usual here. [ KAM1953F ] - 12:52am Jun 13, 2000 EST (#1135 of 1145) “As you can tell, it's business as usual here.” The more things change, the more they stay the same. Intro***Part 1***Part 2***Part 3***Part 4 |
