I guess some people just can't control their own behaviour.
Damn shame, but it seems to be encouraged and flourishing in some circles.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to point fingers at any specific person. Please, allow me to apologize if your ego was bruised in some way. I don't presume to think I or anyone other than you are correct about anything on this site. You have the floor now and always. My bad. I shouldn't have spoken up again.

I see you still have no self control and MUST respond with the last word still. I accepted your "olive branch" you are still being you. There is NO ******* WAY others need to change if you are going to continue the same shit you do that pisses everyone one off. I am not interested in your one sided arguments.

My "olive branch" this time (as were the previous two) was to argue on the merits of the argument, and on facts and evidence, and to leave the name-calling and other ad-hominem out of it.

It took you all of a few days to dive right back in to your former ways. And that's MY fault?
No, I don't think so. You blamed me in the past for your own actions, and I called it BS then. If you can't stick to a plan, that's your own lack of self-control. Own it. Only you can change it.

He is but he also believes that big lie of the parties switching when it comes to racism so its to be expected. That list I posted with confirmed klan members in office was predominantly D with a fair number of R. There will never be 100% consensus in any group no matter how you divide up the individuals.

Interesting. So I wonder if MOST klan members to hold office were D, works like MOST segregation states were controlled by Dems actually means ALL klan members to hold office were D? It's hard to say, Rob can be very flexible when he deems necessary.

Shut up man. I said nothing to you that was an insult. You wanted to claim it like you always do when you take shit personally. If you took that as an insult then you are admitting you have a narrow mind. So what is the problem if I think a person with a narrow mind is a fool? If you are offended by such a soft word maybe you shouldn't talk to other people.

Now, leave me alone.

This is you insulting another member. Are you exempt from the Admins request?

"No proof that Americans were racist? Either you're 10 y.o. and know nothing of the history of our country, or you made it to adulthood without knowing a thing about the history of our country." - RobGMN

You are calling him stupid in your classic sarcastic way. Directly telling him it is either or. I made an indirect statement and you claim it was an insult. Do you have an ulterior motive?

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

I can prove this is a bullshit argument.

Rob, are you a narrow-minded fool?

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

Come on, stick to the merit of the question.

Literally MINUTES after you telling me to leave you alone.
Damn, you're indecisive.

When someone accuses someone of not knowing history, but then clearly shows THEY do not know history, there are two options: They are young and do not know history, or they are old and do not know history.
It's somehat excusable for a child, but not for an adult. Not when it's the specific US history we are talking about.

Can't explain the Louisiana Purchase? OK. Think that racism wasn't prevalent? Pretty pathetic.

Good, it would be dumb to deny your intent when you told him he is stupid.

Jimi inferred it, and I responded to him.
You chose to answer in his stead, but provided examples that do not speak to the challenge.
Close, but no cigar.

You, Thx, Jimi, Slapper, et al, all use that same line of nonsense. yet every time I ask for some shred of evidence of the "proof that was given", the reply is always an evasion, diversion, obfuscation. Oftentimes, done with FAR more typing than simply linking to the post where the "proof" was provided.

Why is that? Why not just do a simple link or a screenshot, instead of a whol paragraph that still doesn't provide any proof?

Yes, I can provide plenty of examples. Want some?

Speaking of changing the goalpost, you just did what you are accusing me of. Here are my words, verbatim: "Can you tell me where in the Democrat platform they are pushing for gov't-owned grocery stores?
Go back as far as Biden's first bid, if you need to."

This was in response to Jimi saying: "Just remember these are the same idiots that claim Trump is Hitler.v2, think rent control will work, want gov't owned grocery stores, believe Trump is a fascist dictator while being allowed to protest said dictator, etc, etc, etc."

Jimi was speaking of the Democrat party and platform as a whole, and I was responding in kind

So again I'll ask: Are we going to discuss the party as a whole, or the use the few as representative of the entire party?
Let's not play the apples and oranges game that some people here are so fond of.
Make the choice.

You mean like repeating the "I already provided proof" mantra enough times that the person uttering it actually believes it? Even when no such proof was ever given?

As the guy who claimed he gave me "the number" multiple times as an answer to a half-dozen questions I asked of him.
This ain't Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy. There is no "the number" that could have answered all my questions.

Ask the guy who has insisted dozens of times that he proved a mono amp has multiple outputs, yet when I ask for evidence that it was "proved", the pat response is "Why? You'd just refuse to believe it anyway.", followed by a paragraph of ad-hominem.

You want "talking loud and saying nothing"? Look at post 25,350

You're full of

You're not a good faith debater.

Rob!!! Are you a narrow-minded fool? Yes or No?

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

Wow... is my question confusing or hard?

 

[ThxOne Premium Member]

I will just respond like Rob does and speak for him.

Yes, I am a narrow-minded fool. <---- you can't be upset over something you admit to being.

No, I am not a narrow-minded fool. <---- then you started this argument for no reason other than to create a spectacle.

These are the only acceptable FACTS as I didn't call you anything and I didn't insult you.
