I disagree, and I have stated my reasons for doing so. If you are not making a comparison, then you should at least admit that it was completely non-sequitor to the comment you were responding to.
This is irrelevant, once again you're focusing on a single semantic to avoid trying to refute the actual arguments again. Are you sure you're not a creationist?
What bias are you talking about exactly? That I do not believe that burkas should be legislated against?
Is having any opinion that does not correlate with your own constitute an unreasonable bias now?
Seriously. No fucking around.
You list reason, and logic stating why it should be legislated against, and I will list reasons and logic stating why it should not. For and Against. No requirement to stoop to irrational name calling, just argument vs argument.
You're clearly passionate about the topic, which is great, as I am passionate about the rejection of government legislation on the burka.
The fact that your refusal to engage in a debate was on grounds that I am biased and allegedly illiterate should be all the more reason for you to prove that you can present solid reason and logic behind your own views.
There is no winner or loser in a debate, merely an opportunity for you to clarify your argument in full, and I can do likewise, and serve to express more fully the points raised for and against the motion. As you have stated time and time again, your views should be held entirely up to logic and reason, there is no need to fear the playing field.
Even if I were biased and demonstrated a failure to comprehend the argument, this will only strengthen your case.
Debate Topic: Should the Burka be an illegal item of clothing? For and Against
Definitions;
Burka - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burqa
Illegal - Specifically legislated against by Law. Law of which country to be agreed mutually.
I am willing to accept the replacement of Burka with full facial Hijab for the sake of clarity on the main point of contention.
Personally, I think you're full of hot air, prone to explosive appeals to emotion, personal attacks, endless prevarication on semantics and incapable of conducting yourself in a rational and logical manner in an argument, and this would allow you to at least prove me wrong in that respect.
If you wish to refuse, no hard feelings, I hate it when people use a refusal to debate as an uncontested win, which isn't necessarily the case, and I promise I won't stoop to accuse you of it, but I think it would be a great opportunity for you to display the logic and reason you claim to extol.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
