I began to notice that most people do not argue or debate with any thought of Socrates, or getting to the truth, or improving their understanding of the issue under debate. Rather, they argue to "win," to notch their gun, to make the other fellow feel small. And they argue to impress some audience whose approval is hard currency to their soft personalities. 

The percentage of people on this board who argue for edification is likely larger than the percentage who do so in most ivy league universities. And that is a poor commentary on the state of modern culture - especially given that only a handful on this board argue for edification.

Only in a country where the vast majority care more about feelings and fitting-in could the gender gaslighting have any hope of success. All of Christendom has lost its way - we are well and truly ****.

Anyone with even a fleeting comprehension of 20th century history understands that a mighty purge is coming - a reckoning. Its unavoidable. Even A.I. is not going to save the jackals who are nipping away in the darkness at society's moral underbelly. 2 plus 2 is four, and "because I said so" is a fallacy - not science.
Unfortunately, I can find no point to argue on. :evil:   :evil:   :evil:   :evil:   :evil:   :evil:

Arguing is no longer a mutual exchange of ideas.
People who don't feel heard shout the loudest.
the insults, and the all caps are the first things that let me know what kind of a person I am dealing with, and where their pain lies.
People who are secure in their beliefs don't feel the need to go on and on and on about them, and beat others over the head with them.
That just wears people down, it doesn't win anything.
Even Winston Smith eventually agreed that 2 + 2 = 5. Not because he believed it, but because he wanted it to stop.

You argue for edification as much as anyone else on this board, Cannonpointer.  Here I am, living proof that after receiving 4 Covid jabs, I'm alive, well, healthy and without any symptoms of whatever horrid ailments you claim people like me should have.  Oh, eventually something will kill me.  But, it won't be from the jabs.

It's not that I completely disagree with what you've said.  This is a political forum open for debate, after all.  More than that even, its a NHB political forum, so taking sides and arguing a point is to be expected.  It's just that I find your statement to be a bit hypocritical, since you're in the fray with the rest of us, that's all.

Lord, I hope not!  If you're looking for someone to suck your black dick, maybe you should try Pastafarian - he rolls that way.  My dick is white and doesn't like being anywhere near men or even manly looking primates with pussies.Image

The meek will be the richest of all because they truly understands what matters.
What truly matters is not of this Earthly existence.
While we are here, we should be doing our best to love all and help where we can.

You're are surely a homosexual, or at least have a tendency toward getting aroused by men.  Most everything you write has to do with some form of homosexuality, dick-sucking, ball licking, tranny-fornicating, etc. Image

Do you believe that meek people do their best to love all and help where they can?  Meek people are typically scared of their own shadow.  They are afraid to take risks in life.  They never achieve all that they can, not even close to it.  They prefer to cower in solitude and obscurity, because that is safer than pursuing life with purpose and vigor.  The meek shall inherit nothing.

HOWEVER, Matthew 5:5 is a lesson in humility, not meekness.  Those who are humble of heart, and who serve God, shall inherit the earth.  That is the correct meaning.  And, humility should never be confused with meekness.

One track mantra doesn't work exponential compounding developing series parallel results such as ancestral lineages of reproductions changing populations here now always changing form since arriving a fertilized cell.

Death just reverses the cellular generation changing forms shaped as conceived carrying total sum combinations left alive now.

You replay the 2 +2 = 5 intellectual misdirection as usual, but life actually evolves through combinations combining previous chromosomes into lifetimes never duplicated when conceived to replace those made the combinations happen.

but as a reproduction I studied universal constants that leave nothing the same as arrived in original form be it molecular elements of a periodic table in three states of gaseous, liquid, mineral changing thresholds when combined to form inorganic objects occupying time inhabiting space.

Now how does this relate to this thread about arguing for argument sakes. Debating what else could cause evolving doesn't lead back to how evolving actually occurs.

Isn't that the root of reverse psychology coming out of philosophies about living should be more than genetics eternally separating numbers here now starting a social premise nobody knew?

Original intellectual sin. that would make Socrates a founding father to the origin of reasonable doubt in western civilization.

Always remember: Israel is the only democracy in the middle east. Lebanon doesn't exist. Neither does Tunisia or Turkey. I was pretty fucing sure Iraq HAD to be a democracy - we made sure of it. But apparently, not so much. So that was lies. 

Also, they are our besties. Like, total, total good best friends - friends to the end.
