No not really. It outlines this formula.
1. Get whooped in an argument.
2. Run away and start another one elsewhere.
3. Make illogical arguments. For example: "You have reason to lie. So you MUST BE LYING!!! mWHAHAAH!!!1`"
4. Have illogical arguments exposed.
5. Slip away in shame.
It's okay, Zylka. We understand.
...and did you submit the correct documentation before using that formula? I hear that use of these wacky new "theories" can often be labeled as dangerous citizen support of new theories. Watch out!Comment

Saying, "you have reason to lie so you must be lying" is a prime example of Poisoning the Well.Originally posted by loinburger
There's nothing even closely resembling that formula on the page that you linked to.
Everything else was in direct reference to Zylka, of course.

Just curious Zylka... have you been to China?
I mean, really been there... not just hallucinated you were there.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

sigh... and just when I was thinking Zylka might be capable of a somewhat reasonable conversation...
stupid me!To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

There's not much to converse, other than - "no, I wasn't hallucinating, smartass" and "go sign up at your local gym"
Was that still not intelligent enough??? SHAME ON ME!Comment

So how do you "know" that China is so bad if you've never been there?To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Perhaps you missed the thread where I explained my trip to China, or the reference to the fact that I "WASN'T HALLUCINATING"; it therefore being a fullblown episode of reality.Comment
-
Well, I have never been to China so therefore everthing I say about it must be incorrect. Thanks Sava for setting me straight.

at thread.
Zylka, Sava, y'all need to team up and form a morning radio show or something.
Plato, you could be the sassy producer.Comment

It'd be fine with me if we weren't allowed to criticize a country if we've never visited it -- the number of ignorant "Lol, it's America's fault" or "Lol, Americans are stupid" posts would suddenly take a nosedive.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures

Re: Are the Chinese political prisoners even behind their own computer screens?
Is UR really that annoying?Originally posted by Zylka
Serious question. I was in an internet cafe the other day, and in debate had some of the stupidest and short sided political misconceptions tossed at me by Chinese internet users. I'm talking downright ignorant and EVASIVE comments beyond anyone of capable mind! The question is, should we really take this gross negligence of reality at face value? Is this a fair reaction of supposedly free westerners behind their own screens???I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
