Tired Of Arguing With Ignorant, Dogmatic Nitwits

That is all. Forever. Thank you very much. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I too am tired of dogmatic nitwits.

However, in the last thread where I tangled with a nitwit, I may have seen a chink of light entering said nitwits "brain". So I shall keep trucking.

I choose to bear the cross, the decision is not taken lightly. Perhaps seventy virgins await me in my martyrdom.

I don't think you could handle seventy virgins.

ACPlayer · #4 07-16-2005, 05:10 PM

I have an open mind. I would give it a good try.

Good.

Maybe you taking some time off would be a good idea.

Imagine if you took all the time that you spent on 2+2 and put that into exercise. You would put a new man, MMMMMM. I might not like you very much, but I don't want you to die either.

Think about it.

Thank you, Dead.

I don't think I could handle one virgin.

Well, John, I am sure you have read the old saying, and I daresay it seems applicable here:

"If Ned never tries, Ned never does".

M, here's a line from Spencer Tracy in Bad Day at Black Rock that may come in handy: "You're not only wrong; you're wrong at the top of your voice."

I like you MMMMMM. You treat everyone with respect, at least from what I've seen. That's highly admirable. I know I often fail at treating everyone with the dignity they deserve. Not only that, you're posts are coherent, contain thought, etc. Combine that with your respectful nature and I think you're a great poster.

That having been said, I think you should tone down your expectations. It sounds like you're frustrated about your inability to persuade others. I've seen empirical evidence that showed political persuasion is nearly impossible. This isn't to say you shouldn't try to persuade; but I wouldn't let it bother you if you fail (at least I wouldn't let it bother me).

So, I think you should stick around. Maybe there's some hidden sarcasm in your OP that I missed and you plan on sticking around anyway. In that case, ignore this.
