What, the dilemma of trying to get someone to actually commit to intellectual debate? You AREN'T going to help? Well, that's not something to brag about.

How about no, since you're the one that pulled that little bullshit nugget right out of your ass. I am demanding evidence. Provide it or admit you're full of shit.

Evidence to your claims, please, or it didn't happen. This is the same shit we say to religious people. Making a claim doesn't make it fact and if you know a bunch of people who take your claims at face value without questioning it they're as gullible as you are full of shit.

Non-sequitur.

So, we have baseless claims, ad hominems, non-sequiturs, and self-contradictions on top of retarded statements like "we're polluting space." Any other gems of intellectual might you want to bring to bear or am I just going to have to be content with NOT dying of howling laughter?

If you really must know, send me a PM asking for clarification, and I'll tell you. It's a bit of a personal/family thing and it has some very, very deep roots in the way my life has turned out. Didn't mean to "sound" like I was ready to go for your throat [which I realize now that I did] but...yeah, it's THAT deeply rooted. Just for now, believe me when I say; I don't drink the koolaid and they'd have to suck my dick and pay me for it before I'd even look at it first.

Yeah, I know. World Wide Web. That's just a system of interlinked hypertext documents. Yeah, that works well to assist us navigating around the internet. But it's not all that big of a deal in comparison.

You really like to entertain yourself with all your philosophical bullshit, isn't it? Mate!

Once you've wiped the turd of your face, I'd consider feeding you less bullshit. Mate!

OK. See, now... what you did there, is you took the UK and you dropped Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland like so much trash set for a garbage bin.

England is not a synonym of the UK.

So you admit that everything you've said so far is bullshit? Well, as long as we're on the same page.

OK, well instead of referring to U.S. inventors, I'll just stick to California seeing as how that has the biggest population.
