Blatant and Intentional Lie Number One. I specifically mentioned I was responding to no fewer than three separate from you, addressed speciically to me. It does your argument precious little good to be caught out in baldfaced prevarications of this sort.
I suspect that I will walk away from you with information you know to be false, specifically because you opted not to leave me with factual knowledge. The end results are no less deceitful, or pernicious.
It also does profits your argument little to wax (poorly) poetic, at the expense of clear and unambiguous meaning. Try re-stating that in english, if you please. Assuming it meant anything whatsoever, I mean.
This is exactly what you did in response to my question. You, by your own definition, lied. And I can make you do it over and over again.
I haven't seen anyone quite this desperately, heartwrechingly in love with themselves, and their own swaybacked platitudinizing -- and for such scant reason, to boot -- since the last time Hillary addressed an audience on nationwide television. :)
Blatant and Intentional Lie Number Two. Kindly point out to me -- right here, in front of G-d and the FReepers assembled -- where, precisely, I lied to you; and/or where you "made [me] lie." We both know full well neither of these hallucinatory episodes took place, anywhere outside of the confines of your own skull.
What I plainly did say -- and as any /all can readily confirm, simply by referring to the previous postings in question -- is that I most certainly would lie to you, given sufficient cause to do so. This is manifestly not the same thing that you are spuriously, dishonestly claiming.
You mentioned, in response to another poster, earlier, that "[I] most certainly have lied, in the past." Self-evidently, your willingness to do precisely that is on ready and public display, in the present day.
Lying is lying, whether to children, adults, whatever. I even mentioned in one of my posts that it would be just as wrong to lie to an adult as to a child.
In that case: I should rather think you owe me an apology right about now, don't you think...?
If it was indeed hairsplitting, you'd have had no problem answering my question.
Blatant and Intentional Lie Number Three. I have answered every serious question you've put to me, as you well know (and -- again -- as the archived record clearly indicates). You're batting less impressively than the ninth-place hitter for the Yakult Swallows, at this point. I can cope with the public humiliation on your part, certainly, if you can.
If it makes you feel any better, rest assured that I feel that lying to anyone is wrong.
Ahhhh... how I adore cheap irony. :)
Wrong again, and you just showed that you clearly don't understand my point.
Oh, I understand your "point" (poor, palsied thing that it is) a good deal more capably than I think you yourself do, certainly. Let's summarize, shall we? "Lying is always bad, unless it's by omission, in which case it's not bad. Also, lying in buck-toothed attempt to 'win' an online argument is forgivable, so long as said lying is in defense of the point that all lying is bad. Amen."
There. That's pretty much all you've managed to stammer out thus far, once all the spluttering and arm-waving have been taken out of the equation. Why... was there anything else you wanted to add to that, at this late date...?
I'm still waiting for you to deal directly with the question that I asked you, because you did not in this post. A simple, one line response will do nicely.
Blatant and Intentional Lie Number Four. I answered ALL your questions, of course. You're simply in a sulk because my answer(s) weren't of the sort you were hoping, tailored to your increasingly Clinton-esque high school word games and what-have-you. Go back and re-read, if you weren't capable of determining this for yourself, the first time out. Trace the sentences laboriously with one index finger. Move your lips. Whatever helps, ultimately.
In short: give me one good reason to respond to your next posting, if possible.
So far: this has been depressingly like arguing with a liberal: lots and lots of emphasis upon feeeeeeeelings... and no substantial intellectual counter-argument.
Frankly... I'm bored, buttercup. :)
Truly "sick and getting sicker," to quote Bob Grant.
And a very happy whatever , to you. Me? I'll be having a VERY merry Christmas. :-)
Incorrect. That is PRECISELY how we taught our children about Santa Claus. Santa in no way replaced Jesus as the meaning of Christmas.... Santa was Santa because of how much he loved Jesus.
Exactly right, Tam.
