> [@Monty](#): > > FTR: Yes, I am both a linguist and an English teacher (not, mind you, “linguist” and “English teacher”). By all means, repeat your claims. As any mildly-simpleminded middle school child will tell you, repetition is a surefire way to exponentially increase a a claim’s truth value! No, sorry, I call bullshit, as the kids say (or used to, anyway). I’m not buying your whole, “But, but, but I’m a linguists and a teacher, so I totally know my stuff!” act. You are an illogical, emotional poster that appears to know little to nothing about either human languages or proper debating. Just off the top of my head: you previously claimed that all languages are equally easy to learn because they are all fundamentally equally complex. You stated that you teach your hypothetical “students” to draw false analogies between completely unrelated political/economic systems (you mentioned several, including NAZI Germany and the USSR). Now, you appear to be utterly perplexed by the idea that ambiguous statements can have more than one interpretation. No, I simply cannot see any self-respecting teacher or linguist acting as you do. It is my belief that this chosen online persona has absolutely nothing to do with you as an actual person. I cannot venture a guess as to what you actually do in the real world, but I can safely say that it has nothing to do with either languages or the institutionalized teaching of other humans. ---

So, how many days are we past the time Commy was supposed to stop trolling and actually articulate an honest position? I was thinking that he’d skink away and come back a few months from now to troll some more. I wonder if the banhammer will come down before the slinking. ---

At the outset, I note that you absolutely failed to address any points made it my previous post. Instead, you have chosen to completely sidestep all the issues under discussion and focus on rather juvenile attempts to mis-characterize my words. > [@Ibn\_Warraq](#): > > Umm… by your definition then Mussolini’s Italy and Nazi Germany were socialist. > > Glad you’ve been willing to come out of the closet. Interesting claim. Now, would you mind backing it up with an argument? Why exactly do you believe that “Mussolini’s Italy and Nazi Germany were socialist?” Or is it asking too much to expect you to support your bizarre positions? > [@](#): > > Thank you for admitting that when it comes to workers’ rights and labor codes the PRC lags far behind the West. > > It’s big of you to admit that you were dumb to suggest otherwise. Is that what I was doing? Huh, that’s news to me… Let’s see: in your last post, you claimed (with absolutely no proof) that only an idiot would think that China has labor codes. I proved to you that China has labor codes, and that your lies lack merit. Your response is to thank me for admitting that Chinese labor codes are worse than Western ones? Way to move your goalposts there, sparky; don’t think that I don’t notice such amateurish debate tactics. > [@](#): > > Translation, it’s only imperialism when done by Europeans, unless those Europeans are Russians who claim to be communists. > > Thank you for admitting your biases. Whatever you say. Now, are you going to address the actual point that I made? To wit, do you or do you not see a difference between China’s border skirmishes with its neighbors and the US’s invasion of Iraq? If you can only respond to an argument by trying to distort your opponent’s words, you have essentially conceded defense. Nevertheless, I will give you one more chance to make a counterargument, if you can. > [@](#): > > So then you have no problems with the discrimination against non-Han Chinese. > > Glad that you’re upfront about being a supporter of discrimination. Once again, you try to dodge my last response to you. Not so fast there: do you stand by your claim that it is white racism to support discrimination against whites (and other non-Han groups)? Obviously, I neither concede your assertion or support racism in any form. I am, however, fascinated by this glaring hole in your, er, logic. > [@](#): > > That does make me feel sorry for you, because in my experience, rich, white kids like yourself who are racist are usually overcompensating for something. You left out the nonsensical “might white” comment, so this rant is not quite as funny as some of your previous ones. Also, I can feel a childish ad hominem diatribe coming up… > [@](#): > > Maybe you’re morbidly obese or maybe you just have really poor social skills and as a result have a difficult time making friends or developing relationships with women(or men if they’re who you’re interested in). > > Either way, I’d recommend seeking professional help. Ooh, I’m hurt. You lose points for neglecting to allege that I live in my parent’s basement, can’t find steady employment, and have never had sex. Bonus points for the homosexual dig, though. Either way, I’ve revised my estimate of your age down a decade or two. Why don’t you come back once you reach high school, and then we’ll talk. Your childish antics are exceedingly banal. ---

Flavor aid. But it’s okay, Commie wouldn’t have drunk it, just pretended to and hoped that it’d annoy people who heard about it later. ---

Commissar’s drink is Coca Cola that he uses to wash down Big Macs while watching American Idol and pretending to be a comunist in the internet. ---

Commissar, I sure hope you’re proud of yourself for your support of [this kind of scum](http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/06/27/3253979.htm). Of course, you’re going to call the people complaining about the government scum. No, it’s the dictatorship and its supporters who are that. ---

He just posted in the Libya thread talking about how great it was that we left the Rwandans alone to their genocide. I haven’t gotten so far as doing a quick-and-dirty factual rebuttal on that one, but I think the sentiment speaks for itself. ---

Guys stop picking on the poor guy. He’s a loser, probably living in his mother’s basement, who’s life is in such horrible shape that the only thrill he gets out of life is trolling this message board and doing an embarrassingly bad job of imitating a communist. Why strip him of his last shred of dignity.
