Now, my Dear AWC or [name deleted at request of OP- JMCJ], how often do you intend to make your hit and run posts?

We all know that you've run away in cowardly silence from every single challenge by me and Ediwino and others to back up your baseless whinging and spineless attempts at weaseling into racialist conclusions. Myself and others (shall I mention Gaspode, Tomndeb, Edwino etc) have shredded your insinuations more than once (actually others but since your insinuations are neither novel nor particularly interesting I don't feel it necessary to differntiate), without a single substantive reply of yours, on the data . O yes, the vague accusations of bias, the implications that somehow there is a silent majority, but grappling with the data ? Heaven forbid. No, we play these little hide and seek games, your drive by post devoid of reflection or much coherent thought altogether.

In short, you are a contemptible and drooling idiot given to the meaningless repition of festered and malconcieved shit. The worst kind of festering ignorance is what you spew forth in your snide little messages -- I don't personaly mind well-founded snideness -- of a kind which utterly run against the purpose of this board. You've displayed since your arrival a dedication to a festering sort of ignorance, all the more loathsome for its tenacity before any kind of real data or considertion. It's hard to describe my contempt for this sort of mental boil, a sort of festering pimple on rational thought. How else to describe a pitiful and desperate attachment to a bankrupt mode of thought?

So my dear dumb motherfucking hypocritical rationally impaired dumbfuck bitch, put up or shut up.

(however, I am afraid that I am off in two weeks so I'm afraid that actual argumentation is limited to this time period)

Errrrrrr.....it sounds like I'd agree with you if I knew the thread referenced, Collunsbury, but I don't think I do, so I'm gonna have to ask for a link.

Thank you very kindly. Having read the thread, I can now agree with you completely. Fuck off, AWC.

Look, I believe that racial differences exist; that smoking causes cancer; and that the holocaust happened. People should feel free to disagree with me - everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I don't feel like debating these issues, but everyone is free to post all the arguments they like. I'm happy to let the readers of this board look at such postings and take them for what they're worth.

People are also free to call me a "dumb motherfucking hypocritical rationally impaired dumbfuck bitch," but such people might ask themselves why they are so upset.

Could it be that they are having trouble convincing themselves of their own agendas?

Eagerly awaiting the 2004 Olympic Games,

Autumn

If you don't want to debate your opinions, don't offer them. The forum is Great Debates. Saying it's just your opinion doesn't give you a "Get Out of Argument Free Card." Posting an inane, borline racist "opinion" and refusing to back it up makes you look like an egotistical jerk who is so certain in the "rightness" of her opinion that she can't be bothered to discuss it with the rest of us peons. Couple this with the fact that the peon you're ignoring shows vastly more experience, knowledge, and training in the field, and is telling you flat-out that you are completley fucking wrong, and you start talking about "agendas"... Well, this just makes you look stupid. Why does this make people so upset? Because you're acting like an asshole. Being around assholes makes people angry. So STOP BEING AN ASSHOLE.

Cute rhetorical technique, listing these things together and thereby equating them.

Sleasy, cheap, and cowardly, but cute.

At least your dim-witted self got the right verb.

Yes, religiously apparently, to the exclusion of considering evidence, and vehemently, to the point of making worthless contributions based on totally unfounded assertions which you know very well have been rebutted time and time again. Here, that's called spreading ignorance.

Quote:
that smoking causes cancer;
Woohoo, the attempted implication that somehow this item is parallel to the prior item: I have noted the difference previously. Indeed, I've pointed out how one can judge the evidence -- you seem to prefer simply 'believing' on some quasi-mystical grounds. No call for that, one can depend on data and evidence as well as --since we can't be expected to personally sift through everything -- the considered opinions of specialists which have been subjected to the peer-review process.

Quote:
and that the holocaust happened.
Ah, trying to link me with holocaust deniers. Not only low, but utterly unfounded. Same as above. Evidence. Considered rational conclusions.


See, you can't quite seem to wrap your puny little pea-brain around this.

People should feel free to disagree with me - everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Quote:

Fine and dandy, don't. But let me observe:
(a) in General Questions answers are to be factual
(b) in other fora one can engage in speculation and what not, however be prepared to support one's opinion.
Quote:

Indeed, that is so.

Because I dislike intellectual dishonesty, hypocrisy, cowardice and generally assholish behaviour.

Quote:

Dunno, is that why you post?

Quote:

Yeah, so?

Dipshit.

I believe that it's okay to go out and rape women.

I believe that lima beans can fly.

I believe that Pepsi is made from the remains of millions of rotting babies.

I believe that races exist.

Are we seeing a trend here?

Marvels in awe at the shiny, brand-new, showroom condition, factory made rectal orifice that Collounsbury has so neatly incised for AWC in the span of one curt post.

I don't know where you get the energy Collounsbury (although indignant rage is probably a good place to start), but thank goodness there is someone here that is willing to perform this vital surgery when necessary.

Hey, Collounsbury, you are coming back, aren't you? I'm going to miss these rants of yours. Pit won't be the same without you.

Dunno, I am finally being Xferred out of Cairo --Thanks be to God and Bacardi and constant politicking and perhaps finally fundamentally annoying the fuck outta of the Evil Swiss Bastard (tm) -- but final contract on new location (Europe? elsewhere?) is not set per se. Hopefully I will not become a compulsory redundancy! But I look forward to having a genuine social life.


(As for the energy, it's probably the copious amounts of rhum I consume while whiling away evenings in Cairo.)

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but, AWC was wrong on 2 out of 3. Smoking doesn't "cause" cancer, but increases your risk for cancer.

We'll give her the Holocaust one though.

Ah, give her a freebie, after all in a prior thread she said she doesn't even understand how or why it does, she just "believes".... sad and pitiful, but what can you do?

Collounsbury: Good luck on the transfer . Now should I be hoping you'll enjoy your new position for your sake or should I be hoping you hate it for ours ? Hate to think you wouldn't be around as much to entertain and enlighten us .

And social life? Bah! Try working graveyard shift for eight years .

I'd suggest that AWC hold her breath until the 2004 Olympics.
