I find this entire discussion absolutely hilarious. TyrReborn Send a noteboard - 15/06/2015 04:19:31 PM

The whole argument has been a textbook example of how liberals attack anyone for stating a dissenting opinion.

"Oh look," says the left, "this guy has a problem with how terrible we are at fair application of facts."

"Well," says the left, "we'll just ignore his thesis and nitpick his arguments, and try to make him out to be an ignorant and petty person."

I guess the funny thing to me, is that these people think that that is a legitimate debate defense. It's not. If you ignore the whole point, then you have no right to discuss the supporting evidence.

So, to those attacking Cannoli and his point, kindly shut up unless you're actually going to argue about his thesis, which none of you has done.

The issue is science, and you respond with ...feelings? The point called, and it misses you too. Cannoli - 05/06/2015 09:31:09 PM 665 Views
Are you seriously claiming your post is motivated by science? Legolas - 05/06/2015 10:39:01 PM 520 Views
No, by hypocrites citing science as a trump card when it suits them & ignoring it on other issues Cannoli - 06/06/2015 12:33:53 AM 640 Views
If you want to accuse liberals of ignoring science there so many better examples random thoughts - 09/06/2015 04:35:58 PM 641 Views

So? My point is that liberals would not allow you to teach that in a public school Cannoli - 15/06/2015 01:43:43 PM 458 Views
