To me, the scary thing isn't the 40% who believe in upholding to the absolute the rights and liberties of the individual. It's when someone claims that a right is no longer needed in the "modern era". Well just what other rights aren't needed in the modern era? Speech? Press? Religion? Property? Searches? Privacy? Redress? Protest? I mean, once you open that flood gate of rights no longer being needed, where does it exactly end? Well I know where it ends, horrible Big Brother police state; but it makes me wonder if people actually consider the consequences of their actions.

I have no doubts that a lot of them wouldn't mind such a police state.

Yeah, and that's fine. The problem is that I would mind such a police state.

Mmmm, egotistical arrogance with just a hint of hatred. Yeah, that's who I want limiting the rights and liberties of the People. Someone with an agenda.

Say nothing of three, I guess.

But I -do- have to wonder why, given that D505 is so much smarter, better, stronger and faster than the rest of us.

You'd think he'd be happy to smack the balls out of the park.

So why should someone who hates others be able to set the rights of people? I don't think you're one to talk against others (BTW, didn't you make an entire thread about personal attacks?). With such a condescending, "I'm better than you" attitude you couldn't possibly begin to understand the importance and base nature of rights.

Got that right. I'm slightly picky who I choose to respond to on this forum & .....nuff said. (He shall get no response as he wouldn't know what to do with one anyway).

So what does this comment say about you? You made a whole thread on personal attacks, but they seem to be your forte. Hypocrisy much?

No, I don't. My arguments are consistent and I don't make entire threads about bitching about people making personal attacks against me while reserving the right to do it to others. It's all your hypocrisy not mine. Don't get mad at me because you're inconsistent and practice hypocrisy.

The other thing I find ironic is

In that, who has had the inability to engage in intellectually honest debate? You refuse to answer questions, instead making personal attacks against someone to deflect out of it. It's weak character and nothing more there. So if you are unable to communicate or express intelligent thought, as has been demonstrated; are you applicable to your own condemnation?

Sorry, but all the fault lies on your side on this one. You tried to get into an argument, were losing, and turned to personal attack and insult to get out of it. That's a reflection of your integrity, resolve, and character.

Sure it does. You're pulling something out of whole cloth to fit what you want it to mean -- not what anyone, including the writers of the thing, and the official arbiters of these matters have ever said about it.

So, unless you believe the written word means nothing other than what any given person wants it to mean at the time, then yes, you're incorrect.

Besides, it doesn't even work logically.

You don't see the logically-unassailable nature of the time-honored "I'm right, you're wrong, SHUT UP!!!" debate tool? Obviously, he IS much smarter, then.
