Phrases such as "I feel" or "in my opinion", etc., show this.

If you cannot stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. theirs an point to posting that phrase.
Do you understand the implications of posting such and such on a forum. If so how can you tell me to "quit"?
I've repeatably said opinion are equal, as such I ALSO stated that this is an debate.
Example.
I believe that girls are scum. Do I
A. Have the right for people to take my word for it?
B. Have the right for people not to challenge it?
C. Have the right to debase someone?
d. have the right to state my opinion, with the extent of my peers taking my word for it?
I also have stated since the beginning of me joining this forum, you provide evidence to claims or have that claim invalid.
I'll take as evidence towards one of my first posts on water boarding. I stated water boarding was not torture because my opinion was that torture was something that had lasting damage and physiological effects. Well Rohin4hire challenged me on it. Put it simply I fell back on it being my opinion. Point here to make is that your opinion is not protected against being challenged. In this thread I have not said anybodies wrong for having an opinion, I have challenged the contents of that opinion, to which is well within the scope of the site to do so. In conteplation I do regret I used that phrase in that debate.
Those phrases does NOT protect them from being challenged do they not?

Im sure you know what i mean by that name im putting on certain people on the right but you choose to look just at that. Thats okay though. harhar. and yeah it was called for, because its how I feel(My opinion) if you don't like it don't keep quoting me, and finding a reason to complain about what I say. Its what I believe. I will always be what i believe, she was a crappy Governor and she would've been a mucho worse VP. |
Then I really hate to say this,
don't post where there is an debate.
Get the quote right
Do you live in America? You do
know around 80% of the country "says" they are Christians SO how can you call her an "religious right wing extremist"? In light of that information how do you content that around 80% percent of the country is extremists?
Seriously? prancing around talking about there belief like she does? WHEN did it become wrong to have your religion as principle?
I have an biblical quote in my name page, I know the difference. As that is stated you did not back up yourself again.
Labeling is generally bad. "Extremist far right" is also an very bad term, hence the reason why I focus on that.
"It's my opinion" is an fall back. Reason being I can't challenge you having that opinion, as such I can challenge what that opinion is. You want to keep your opinion no one stopping you, just don't think you can freely say what you want without someone challenging it (what's happening here).
I'm tired of this "it's my opinion" tactic and I'm ending it.
