Democrats playing the race card, again!

You want to know if I mean it or not?

Really now? You sound all the world like a naive schoolgirl in the back of a car at the drive-in.

This is really funny. You do not know the slightest thing about debate.
You make allegations without one shred of evidence.
When repeatedly challenged to produce any, you are impotent to do so.
And now you ask me if I mean it?

Well , this is indeed a first. :lamo:mrgreen:

Uh sorry Haymarket-I don't agree that you are the only expert on debating here

Absolutely not. But Turtle, now really....... you know darn well that if somebody challenges you and makes accusations about you and you state what your position is and they tell you is false, the responsibility is upon them to put up or shut up.

You and I go round and round on stuff but neither one of us has ever resorted to silliness like this.

You call that debate?

Provide a single post replicating your stated position. You have your entire posting history in your user profile. I do not have the time or inclination to disprove something because it means so much to YOU. It doesnt mean **** to me, so if its got your boxers in a twist, providing some data to me ought to be pretty easy for you.

The fact you have not speaks pretty loudly.

@ OP:

Although it doesn't make much sense in this scenario, a statement like 'Democrats playing the race card, again!' sounds like a decontextualization to other, more relevant scenarios that go beyond skin color.

Do you understand that if YOU accuse me of being a hypocrite and taking a contrary position other than the one I state now, it is YOUR responsibility to prove it with quotes from me?

That is called debate.

If you are too lazy to do a simple search - and it takes only seconds - just ask my friend Turtle. We oppose each other constantly but he is honest and he can tell you what my position is on this as stated with him time after time after time after time in many different threads.

But really, you should learn to use the search feature and do your own work. Its part of learning how to debate and use the tools here. That is what the search tool is for - use it.

I cannot really look deep into your eyes and prove to you that "I really mean it".

You are now ignored Haymarket, let me know when you grow some credibility.

What you have ignored is the proper steps involved in debate. You seem frustrated that you boxed yourself into a corner and now cannot get out.

OC - it would be very very east for me to provide statements that you so crave. It took me but seconds to find several. But then what would you learn? I taught for over 33 years. One thing you learn as a teacher is to not always give the easy answer. It is often better for the student to go through all the necessary steps to figure it out for themselves. Its the old give a man a fish and he eats for a day - teach him to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

You have to learn to use the search feature. You have to learn how to back up your claims and allegations with evidence. You have to learn that the responsibility is on the accuser to prove their accusations.

I hope you can do this and look forward to seeing you armed with new skills that make you a better debater.
