Nancy Pelosi is winning in her battle with Trump. Here's why

Yakshi said:
Very good, yes that's pretty close to what debate means. So now you've shown that you can define debate and you can cut and paste the definition of straw man without attribution from another website.

You're doing wonderfully.

Anyone who tells you differently is intimidate by your prowess in debate, which you can define.

Not at all... defining what a debate is is something that average grade school kids can do... what I find alarming is that you think that the fact that I can do this means that I would intimidate others with my prowess..

Perhaps when you can understand what was written then you can begin to make a better challenge... :shrug:

No, you didn't... you showed that I copied something and did not show the source of what I copied.

I said that I use that website all the time... That is not plagiarizing... That is the fact.

You really suck at debating...

Yes, I did show the source. In your rush to post another winning point in the debate, you missed it among your notes.

Ah-ah....and what is the debate in this thread? Go ahead...I have given you your shot at starting around your same circular argument again. So have at it. It will give me a few minutes to join serious discussion.

Trust me, everyone who reads your posts is impressed. Such cutting and pasting. I'll have to learn how to do that someday.

I'm taking notes. Thanks for your service.

I know that you showed the source... I said that your claim that I plagiarized was that I did not show the source of what I copied... I also said that is not plagiarizing.

Pelosi is winning. Thanks for taking a break from teaching us in order to return to the debate.

Numerous polls show that a majority of Americans (1) disapprove of the job Trump is doing, (2) blame Trump for the shutdown, and (3) do not want a wall.

Trump is fighting a losing battle. Pelosi is on the other side of that battle. Therefore, Pelosi is winning.

When providing evidence people cut and paste that evidence... it is part of providing evidence in an online debate format. This also happens in real live courts of law!!

It doesn't matter if you think it is plagiarizing or not. Your feelings don't really matter with regard to your cutting and pasting from websites from which you fail to give attribution.

And now I expect you will back up your argument with "evidence"...

She is about defeating anything Trump first...

Imagine that! A politician who wants to beat the opposition

Look up the definition of "plagiarize" and learn something....

No, it doesn't. A losing point for you. I'm confused. I'm accustomed to seeing so much winning from you . . . when you aren't plagiarizing.

That's a good idea. You do that. I assume that you're just typing stream of consciousness at this point, because you seem so rattled at being caught plagiarizing.

See! You get it... you know sangha, when you come in and in one post do what these other guys can't do in pages and pages? It gives me hope.

Well, it looks like you are giving up trying to prove plagiarism... I understand... it is because your debating skills are seriously lacking.

If you are unaware of this, I don't know what to say.

Apparently you are not reading our back and forth... he is the one that thinks that providing evidence is plagiarizing and that cutting and pasting said evidence into an argument is a weak form of debating... but glad to see you are awake now and trying to learn.

Personally, I'd probably try not to plagiarize in the future. It's a worthy goal. Opinions differ.

Yeah, remember when she said "I can't give in. It would make me look foolish"?

Oh ... wait.

Yeah, she is the self serving one.

You are somebody... not sure who, but you matter... and that is why I would like for you to tell me what point you are trying to make. Thank you.
