[QUOTE="Flipx99, post: 3546560, member: 562352"] See, he actually can have an intelligent discussion. If you didn't notice what happened between me and faulkton, I will explain. I was attempting to get him to quanitfy the value of a thief. I'll admit, I did a poor job,...but I could trip him if I could get him to put a number on it. If he puts a number on it, then I oould propose a situation where it would be just for the racist to kill the thief. If we try to argue numbers, I'll use data from various places (although I think he has access to many of the same studies)...but it puts me at a better advantage IMO. If we stay on the "social" side of things, he has the advantage because he can label me. It's all in good fun either way. I couldn't even get him to admit that the life of a theif was less than that of a normal citizen. Because he knew the next move in my strategy. That's what is problematic when you have a "2 move ahead" thinker vs. a person better adept in realizing the consequences of his replies. Oftentimes, you don't think of what you are saying in advance, or what kind of path you would be drawn down. [/QUOTE]
