Which poster do you have the biggest difficulties with?

[drake]

No, he certainly doesnt gp......

What also annoys me are posters who just use their precious sources and statistics to do all their talking for them. Yes, such things are relevant in some cases, but damn this isn't a message board for experts or journalists. I want to read opinions and thoughts of individual people, not some writers or "experts".

Even if its the same opinion as someone else, its always nice to have someone explain their own position, the "why's" of their argument.

Basically, people who say nothing original, with thoughts of their own are an incredible bore and take away from the experience of a discussion.

Drake,

I agree with you. I would also add that on a couple of occassions when I could be bothered to do searches to check on arguments advanced by the "argue by amount of stuff dumped" crowd, I was able to find some nice facutal confirmation of holes in their arguments which I had argued for from horse sense and logic.

It's not a problem, Navy.

Everyone knows MarkL is full of it, and we can prove it simply:

MarkL, show any ONE post where I told someone to Suck anybody's (not just OBL'S) member.

You can't because it never happened, just like all the rest of your "facts"

Back on point, Navy, I really don't give a rat's ass about about this.

The kiddies have their fun, but in the real world, they have a hard time coping with the truths of the world, which they vehemetly denouce here.

Our USA hating buddy is a good example.
Typical post by him screams that the USA has no "guts" because it hasn't committed ground forces in a major way.
Having been under fire twice, I find it laughable that a child sitting safly in Holland dares to question other's moral fibre.

Also, this aversion to "mixing it up", feeling that genuine anger (and in my first post in this thread, it was indeed genuine) that leads to profanity equates to maturity level is childishness in the extreme.
See what the langauge is like in the real world, my young, and extremly un-enlightened friend.
Whatever I posted is mild by comparison.

MarkL - we've argued on the same side many times and I agree with you on several issues...but please just stop here. OK?

Slowwhand, very arrogant of you. I'm not a trained psychologist but I hope there is more to you than that.

If you're complaining because residents get paid during "training" but you're not, please bear in mind that residency is very definately a job. It's something you do after graduating and obtaining a license, it's often 70 to 80 hours/week, and the on-call shifts are up to 32 hours long.

Ya, the doctor who lives in my flat told me he works up 140 hours a week as a resident

He also smokes and when I asked him if the other doctors hassled him about that he told me he had been the oncology registrar

You're joking, I'm sure.
You must be joking.
If you were any thinner you'd be invisible.
Go away Bob. Your foaming at the mouth grows tiresome.

No no, not at all. I'm complaining because every red cent I'm using to pay for med school is coming from loans--by the time I'm finished with the actual four-year education, I'll be so deep in the hole I'd get out quicker if I were to just keep digging to the other side of the planet.

[History049]

Slowwhand, I feel pity for you so I'll leave you alone, aight

[DarkCloud]

Ida have to say Blackwidow24- everytime she posted she posted something insulting.

I used to have a problem with Chris 62- now as long as he doesn't have a problem, I dont- same with onepaul.

[orange]

what ever happened to him anyway? Haven't seen him post in a while...

What did Blackwidow say that was offensive, DC?

Well, there needs to be a good mix of both.

You can come on here and spout all the opinion you want, but if you can't back it up with anything to prove why it's right, than the argument has flaws that can easily be shot through, no matter what side of what argument it is for. There has to be some fact to back up opinion.

Generally I think there are some people who tend to just flood you with knowledge, sometimes it pertains to the debate at hand, and sometimes it doesn't. This can work to overwhelm your opponent with stuff he doesn't know enough about to rebut, but it also takes away from the argument and begins changing the focus to God knows what.

I think MtG does this every once in a while, and he can because he knows....EVERYTHING....but it's not always good for the argument, and I often can't tell what side he (or whoever does it) is supporting.
