> [@Morgyn](#): > > . I knew those two were spewing nonsense, but I didn’t have the knowledge (or the patience) to refute them. Fascinating that you first made your decision about which side of the argument was wrong and then acquired the knowledge to support that decision (ETA: Or at least think you have knowledge supporting your position.) Not that you are unique – unfortunately a lot of people think this way. ---

I would say **fortunately**. Ok guys, time to go somewhere, lets leave the nowhere man to run around happily in his shrinking circles. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wn_BTkoZo0) ---

Was that **brazil** ’s response to my post? I’ve had ol’ **bs** on ignore for some time now. However, since \*\*Gyrate \*\*was kind enough to quote it, I’ll respond. Sweetie, what I had before I read this thread was a decent background in science, training in logic, and a brain capable of reason. I’ve read quite a few things about evolution and genetics beyond what I was taught in high school and college because the subjects interested me, so I had enough familiarity with them to come to a conclusion long ago. What I’ve gotten here was a great deal of in-depth knowledge from experts, almost a master’s class in evolution, genetics, and debate. To be clear: _this thread has given me resources that are an addition to information I had already acquired and on which I had based a conclusion_. You, however, are simply deluded. Nothing you’ve cited (some of which I actually looked at before I decided to ignore you because, _damn_, boy, the idiocy **burns** ) bears any resemblance to science. I suspect that the irony of your statement that I’d reached a conclusion and then looked for evidence to support it is completely lost on you, too. And now I shall happily go back to ignoring the delusional lackwit and following up on some more links, because this stuff is just fascinating. ---

> [@Morgyn](#): > > To be clear: _this thread has given me resources that are an addition to information I had already acquired and on which I had based a conclusion_. Lol, nice weasel. What you said before was that you had lacked the knowledge (or patience) to refute my “nonsense.” And yet you pre-judged it to be “nonsense.” > [@](#): > > You, however, are simply deluded. Nothing you’ve cited (some of which I actually looked at before I decided to ignore you because, _damn_, boy, the idiocy **burns** ) bears any resemblance to science. Please show me an example of something I cited which does not bear any resemblance to science. And we’ll see who’s deluded. > [@](#): > > irony of your statement that I’d reached a conclusion and then looked for evidence to support it is completely lost on you, too. I’m pretty confident that you are deluded enough to think I’m the one who’s reasoning backwards. It will be interesting to see if you are willing or able to back your claim about things I have cited. Most likely you will invent some rationalization for failing to do so. Which suggests that you are the one who is deluded. ---

Why is it insensitive to say someone is “retarded”, but you call somebody a “libertarian”, and nobody bats an eye? ---

It will be interesting to see if you are willing or able to back your claim about things I have cited. Most likely you will invent some rationalization for failing to do so. Which suggests that you are the one who is deluded. I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything, but then again I was thinking about nothing. And then my mom came in, and I didn’t even know she was there. She called my name and I didn’t hear her and then she started screaming “ **brazil84** , **brazil84**!” And I go “what? What’s the matter?” She goes “what’s the matter with you?” I go “there’s nothing wrong, mom.” Shes all “don’t tell me that! You’re on drugs!” I go “no mom, I’m not on drugs. I’m ok, I’m just thinking, you know? Why don’t you get me a Pepsi?” She goes “No! You’re on drugs!” I go “mom, I’m ok. I’m just thinking.” She goes “No! You’re not thinking, you’re on drugs! Normal people don’t be acting that way!” I go “mom, just get me a Pepsi! Please, all I want is a Pepsi!” And she wouldn’t give it to me! All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn’t give it to me! Just a Pepsi! ---

> [@Sage Rat](#): > > If those slaves had been members of the voting public, would they have voted to free the slaves? Possibly, but if that’s not because of reasoned and moral logic, then adding them to the voting pool just means that when it comes time to allow women to vote or to allow homosexuals to marry, you might have just diluted the voting pool of people who would have voted intelligently. Sorry to have to resurrect the thread, but I thought [this latest](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15335219&postcount=21) from the elections forum deserved a pitting. ---

You should wholeheartedly support literacy tests, since you think the voters need the government’s “help” deciding what speech to hear in making informed decisions. ---
