Probably, I don't know why that surprises you - Edit 1

View original posti think we are just going to have to leave this where it is, because it's becoming increasingly difficult to continue having a reasoned dialogue when anything i could possibly say on the subject is met with "typical left response" or "that's a favorite of the liberals".

When that applies it is what I'm going to say. You don't claim that the things I said are untrue or that they aren't common arguments from the left, you just object to me calling a spade a spade. Well I have heard these arguments I labeled as common quite frequently, some are new, or new-ish, common thought thread but different flavor, and I don't label them, and label or not I explained my objections.


View original postfor the record, my opinions on how to deal with the gun culture in this country are from years of my own musings on the subject, and my own experiences with actual street level violence, and any similarity to any "official" positions you disagree with are probably due to others reaching similar conclusions.

Most people feel that way, not sure how true it really is or that its an admirable thing. Anecdotal experience is often a very bad basis for drawing conclusions off of, and certainly bad to prove cases from.


i could easily go through all of your posts here and add "that's a favorite argument from right wing gun nuts" but i don't think it accomplishes anything other than denigrating your opinions out of hand without actually considering whether they have merit. if that is how this is going to go, then i am ending it now. good day...

You wouldn't need to, you regularly insulted various right wing beliefs and I outright said I agreed with them, I am very unclear on why it is deemed offensive to use 'common arguments'. I called out one of yours on the grounds that it was common and used what I consider to be very flawed logic, which I explained. I happen to believe life begins at conception, more or less, you wouldn't offend me by saying that was a common right wing argument. I'd object to the 'gun nuts' bit, I don't recall having said anything equivalent but I might have.

Still I agree this is a good place to call it quits. As I said a long way back I didn't expect us to make any real headway, you can exit when you please and this is probably as good a time as any other.
