This *has* been your posting style about Columbus as long as I've interacted with you.

5 out of 12 "Gambler's fallacy"

almost half way there.

No I won't ride it. Because it won't be built.

You realize you're not actually saying anything, right?

You responded to a 14-month old post, really?

There is nothing wrong with using 'I' and 'me' if I am clearly stating that is my opinion.

If you want good trains, it has to be subsidized.

I simply stated my approval for such a system. I don't think I'll ever live to see it.

I also didn't say "my own private train," but you know that. Just personalizing things isn't a sound argument. Fail.

Duh. So is making me pay for invasions of other countries and paying for new, but obsolete military equipment and paying for people to have children. Was there a point you had?

Wow, and up to now, I thought you couldn't make a good argument without just hurling insults and petty accusations. Why not just stick to civilized discourse?

There are four sentences here and only the first one isn't outrageous overstatement and fear-mongering/whining.
