Circular citations---two people making the same comment (word for word!), and citing each as the authority. Thank you. Have a nice day.

If you are ever detained and lead away in handcuffs to a detention facility to await processing, I hope the distinction between that and "arrested" gives you comfort.

When that distinction constitutes your entire objection to the validity of a post, the rest of your post, by its absence, sort of endorses the one you seem to object to.

It's all opinion, dearie I'm not going to sweat the semantics

semantics (noun) Linguistics the study or science of meaning of language.
I have to give it to you though, you are a MASTER deBATER, and I really enjoy your posts.

Let me explain something very simple to you, Dearie..

You are in the wrong place. This is a debate forum. Nobody gives a crap what flavor ice cream you like, or any other opinion you may have. When you make a statement here, be prepared to back it up. If it is not a statement of verifiable fact, you will be either challenged or ignored. I've paid you the compliment of challenging you. You know what is next.

I don't care what you think or what flavor of ice cream you like either. I am not impressed with your bullying and blowing everything out of proportion. If you own this website, then kick me off. Your problem is that you don't challlenge anyone you just lose your confidence and then make acusations of their incompetence.

What a loser you are. You act like a child.

That was a really thoughtful contribution to the debate. Mature, too.

I said nothing worse than you said, or have said ever since I came to this website. You are probably ignoring me now, and it won't hurt my feelings one bit. You can't seem to lighten up at all.

There are about 100 forums and subforums here for people to lighten up in, and one for serious discussion.

You back me in a corner and I will get out, one way or another. I haven't digressed to cursing yet. This debate has gone its full circle, more than once I have read your arguments that attack posters not the post. For example:

You don't respect and don't honor and don't even want your right as an American to move about free of suspicion and harassment by authorities, but you still expect me to give my life to defend that right? Do you have any idea how many good men have died for a right that you are now ready to just flick out the window?

Ask your born-in-the-USA friends who don't look like Europeans how they feel about this law. Oh, wait. I bet you don't HAVE any friends who don't look like Europeans.

I don't consider this tactic serious discussion either.
We can agree to disagree and carry on or you can do whatever you feel you need to do and I will to.
