M.Dancer Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Strawman. This does not address the magnitude of corruption. But it does address the irrelevance of the supposition. Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us
Huston Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 But it does address the irrelevance of the supposition. Which one? Quote
M.Dancer Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Which one? That corruption is somehow inherintly tied to not basing our currency on gold. ...and perhaps every other notion you have tried to float in this thread too ...

Huston Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 That corruption is somehow inherintly tied to not basing our currency on gold. ...and perhaps every other notion you have tried to float in this thread too ... ? Nice strawman. Good try though. Quote
M.Dancer Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 ? Nice strawman. Good try though. That's your strawman....i didn't bring up the corruption irrelevancy... Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us
Huston Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) That's your strawman....i didn't bring up the corruption irrelevancy... No, your strawman is from my comment on state corruption, which was made independantly from gold or fiat. You made it into a gold and fiat issue. You however, did bring up the state, and I commented on the state and it's "civility", which I found absurd. Edited December 18, 2008 by Huston Quote

Post #67 "The modern State is an important institution in making our lives civilized. Live with it." So yes, you are right, and you should know. You brought it up.

And that is incompatible with a secular democracy.

Griz Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 The problem is all the greedy slobs in our society. Every where they bleed you for money just for a handful of fat slobs. Look at Pay N Talk Minutes though Telus as an example. They bleed you for everything such as the longwinded recording that gives you several options but goes up to 7 before they tell you can delete the message. This is their little scam so that people have to keep buying minutes. I honestly hope that all the greedy fat slobs suffer in this economic crisis Quote

M.Dancer Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Hmm... your right. Then MDancer needs to fuck off, as his strawman still stands.

M.Dancer Posted December 18, 2008 Report Posted December 18, 2008 Morris' constant undressing of Huston will soon make Mrs. Dancer jealous. Mrs. Dancer is never jealous because so few can meadure up to her. Okay, she's jealous of Nigela Lawson Saatchi, but mainly for her non plussed cooking skills. Mrs Dancer cuts a better figure...

The only one making irrelevant comments is you. If you have so many things to do, then why take the time to make strawmen? Very weird. Quote

M.Dancer Posted December 19, 2008 Report Posted December 19, 2008 Why do I get the feeling that every time Huston reads something that's over his head he calls it a strawman....? Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us
Huston Posted December 19, 2008 Report Posted December 19, 2008 Why do I get the feeling that every time Huston reads something that's over his head he calls it a strawman....? Ad hominem. You should really stop projecting. Quote
M.Dancer Posted December 20, 2008 Report Posted December 20, 2008 Ad hominem. You should really stop projecting. No...it's just that it isn obvious that you don't know what a straw man is...so hence, I conclude when ever something is presented you call it a stawman, from the time August made his post to now, none of the claims of strawman hold up, and neither do your arguments.

Sure.. Continue to misrepresent my argument and you get the strawman allegation. So until you actually present an argument that actually addressing my argument, you will get the same response. However, I see you are getting into ad hominems as well. You really can't argue your point can you? Come on try, or stop trolling, August at least attempted to. You? You're "dancing" around it. Or is properly substantiating your argument to hard for you? Ah poor you. Stop trolling. Edited December 21, 2008 by Huston Quote
