Meh, I'm not too worried about whether or not you think I'm a poor debater Paul. We haven't been having a debate, after all. Is my ability to debate, btw, somehow relevant to your opinion (however hard you try to distance yourself from it) that white privilege doesn't exist? Am I, or anything I've offered...the -reason- you don't think it exists? Or is it easier to babble about me than it is to own and explain your own opinions?
Will winning a debate...that we're not having, against an opponent that you feel is sub-par..... make white privilege disappear in a puff of poor logic?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I was watching a video about phrases and techniques people who are really bad at forming logical arguments and debating use, adding "full stop" at the end of the point your making is another box ticked in the long list of boxes ticked mentioned in that video
"I saw some video where it was said that using a certain phrase is often fallacious therefore you're wrong even though what you're saying is still a quantifiable demonstrable fact and I'm overgeneralising like a sillyface just cuz I saw a video."

Out of curiosity, when was the last time in 32 pages that a black person responded to this thread?

When was the last time a black person intentionally wandered into what sounded suspiciously like a fucking klan rally?

Rant? Shouted down? What the fuck? Someone can't express their own opinions back to someone else without being told they're ranting or "shouting down" now?
My opinion is you're full of shit.
On the contrary. Lostys arguments have been ok in this thread. However, when they go off on one simply because they have their own personal agenda, it needs to be brought up. Furthermore, she disliked the idea of an individual having his own opinion because it contradicted her own. If she cannot open her mind to other possibilities, then it isn't his problem and not mine either. This is typical of liberalism at its finest, the very same people who love to criticise Christianism and then in the same breath, stop people from criticising Islam when they are as both as bad as the other. If she cannot debate without opening up other avenues just as Paul did, then that means she can't be great at debating. I am an amateur by the way, but I know when people are either subjective, objective and full of shit. 
My opinion is that you are full of yourself....

On the subject of white privilege, no one is arguing opinion. There's no need.

What is my personal agenda?
Please quote when I told Paul to shut up or otherwise insinuated that he shouldn't express his opinions.
This isn't a debate. It's a discussion. Your points are made up and they don't even matter. Am I being punk'd on whose line is it anyways?
