What you're doing now is more or less the same thing as challenging him to basketball, saying that he can have possession at the start, and when he takes the ball at the whistle, you say "hey, wait; the rules say we have to have a tip-off."
LOL, "or less," in fact, oh thanked-less one. much less.

Ah, well, then the only other possibility was that your challenge was disingenuous, and that you were actually NOT willing to debate M14 on the topic of his choice.

I'm sure that you'll now say "I agreed, didn't I"? But if that's the case, then what was the big fuss over to begin with?

LOL, read the thread. there was a discussion about it. there was a progression from then to now, involving several factors. if you now must ask me what those were, then it is clear why you've come here out of the blue and accused me these things of which you have an incomplete understanding. what was the fuss about? you have no idea.

It was a rhetorical question, nifty. The fuss was about your making a challenge that you had to be dragged kicking and screaming to live up to, even after saying M14 would be a "coward" for not accepting it, and then hiding behind a technicality to justify yourself when it didn't go in a direction you particularly cared for.

So, what you're saying is that your original challenge was "You can pick the topic* and I'll argue . . .



*as long as I *agree* to the topic, of course."

A call-out with fine print, I guess.

"kicking and screaming," you're hilarious. "hiding behind a technicality," LOL. the only kicking and screaming going on here is on behalf of sanity. I explained why this is a lame debate topic, and Shooter, nor you, would hear anything about it. so be it. I agreed anyway.

you call it "fine print," because you were unaware of what a private debate is, as was Shooter. the asterisk you insert was present in the sentences I typed before which you purposely omit now.

likewise, you're unaware of so much else. for example, what it is that I must "do research" about in order to find out Liberalism, vis a vis gun politics.

this tiresome "debate" we're having right now, is IMO a thousand times more interesting than a discussion about why there is a national consensus, amongst Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives and Liberals, as to the meaning of the second amendment. *yawn*

but that's what M14 Shooter wanted. and we're about to "debate" it. woohoo.

I just fell of my chair.

There's a -consensus- between Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives and Liberals as to the meaning of the 2nd amendment?



OMFG. You can't be serious.



Have you paid attention at ALL to any of the gun control discussions here, or anywhere else?

LOL, maybe someone will thank you someday for your comments if you could get out of the gutter with these pointless accusations. good luck.

Its pretty clear I'm about to be shown just exactly how little you really know about this issue.

The debate is set up, BTW, and my opening statement is posted.
