Would you call people who are left handed as normal. Why is it taken for granted most are right handed? Because that is normal.

No, that is AVERAGE. I know that being honest will destroy your argument. So, your "appeal to repetition" logical fallacy is noted as a failure. Therefore, since you have failed, and your point is irrelevant, you can stop this foolishness.

Oh please.....seriously....where do you get your information? Its too obvious that you listen to way too much right-wing propoganda.

Look at her voting record. She is HARDLY a liberal. I wish she were...but she is extremely moderate. My only hope is that with a lifetime appointment, maybe there is a liberal side of her that will come out...but based on her history...I doubt it.

She may not be as far left as you are my friend but she is a Liberal, make no mistake about it.....You can't judge everyone by yourself.....

So, you are telling us that you are using the words normal and average synonymously? If that is the case, would you consider being left handed abnormal? Would you consider being black abnormal?

Oh really......please explain how her voting record makes her a "liberal".

Good luck. Her voting record is not even close to being liberal. But it will be fun watching you try. However, knowing your history of running when confronted....I'm not holding my breath here.

LOL......considering that you refer to some of the most conservative people on this site as your "liberal friends"....I think its destroyed any credibility you might have on this particular issue. :doh

Like I said my left wing friend I don't care what it says besides a person name here...I can only assume a lot of liberals are ashamed to be called that but I say when it walks like a duck and talks like a duck then its usually a duck no matter how they list their selves in DP............

Why are you ashamed to admit that you are a Republican Navy?...like you say....if it walks and talks like a duck...its usually a duck no matter how you list yourself. Hey don't sweat it Navy....after what your "great and inspired world leader" did to this country....if I were a Republican, I'd be ashamed to admit it as well.

So, you're telling me, by the same standard, that my red-headed brother is not normal? After all, only a small group of people have red hair.

You must have already met my brother then. It wouldn't matter what color his hair is, he ain't normal.

We hear you quacking Navy.....but we can't quite make it out.

Wait.....oh.....yes....just because you ocassionally vote outside your party...you are still a hardcore Republican...but hey...I understand it is pretty embarrassing to admit it...so call yourself whatever you like.

There is nothing wrong with being red headed but you can not call it the norm because the majority are right handed.......The problem is we are not talking about red haired or left handed are we?

So, if someone is black, they are not normal, correct?

Way to misconstrue the conversation......its not about "the norm" which would be the "average"....we've been using normal v. abnormal.

Yes Navy....we can hear you quacking. At least I'm not afraid to admit what I am and try to portray myself as something that I am not.

If he is using the words normal and average as synonyms, OK. His vocabulary may be problematic, but at least he is consistent. However, if he does NOT view blacks, red-heads, or left handers as ABnormal, than he is being a hypocrite and his position is a complete failure.

That's why he has avoided the issue. He knows that his position is unsupportable. It would be interesting to see him address his inconsistencies though. I doubt we'll see it though.

NP, answer my question... and do NOT change my words... a simple yes or no will suffice: is being black normal?
