Formulating a rational defense of skepticism (a work in progress)
#35
RE: Formulating a rational defense of skepticism (a work in progress)
That's perfectly fine, but do remember your skepticism may be rendering counterproductive results. Isn't it time for you to be skeptical about your skepticism, or is only one party in this conversation willing to be consistent or rational?

Skepticism isn't really capable of elaborating, is it now? See what I mean about expectations?

(You went off the rails from the very start, "rampant skepticism" amounts to little more than "rampant questioning of claims". You are essentially searching for a rational defense of reason.)
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!
