To: tpaine; MissAmericanPie
I have been following your 'debate' with MissAmericanPie. Debate isn't the proper term, you have been avoiding her simple, yes that's the proper term, simple questions.
You are truly a professional debater, in your own mind. Fortunately for the audience, you couldn't find your butt with both hands as you have shown repeatedly.
I have tried to give you the "benefit of the doubt" while I read your posts, but my benefit package for fools has run dry.
MissAmericanPie has not been mis-characterizing your comments, you have been refusing to present comprehendable rebuttal. Therefore you have lost this debate hands down. IMO.
"Above all, every good debater must remember one important fact. The ultimate purpose of debate is to win the listener, to bring those in the audience to some desired point of view concerning the question, regardless of the efforts of the opposing speakers. Successful debating is that which accomplishes this purpose, and makes the audience believe the things which the speaker wants believed. The decision of the judges is, after all, a minor matter; throughout the whole period of preparation and presenting of the debate argument, the debater's attention must be centered upon this one vital purpose -- the purpose of persuading the audience."
No, I am not going to separate your argumnts into tiny pieces to show where you failed. Just accept that you have failed to win the heart and mind of this member of the audience.
Have a better day today, than you had yesterday. Take care.

I too have followed many of your socalled debates, and could make the same silly observations you have.
Can accept that you have failed?
[ BTW, in essence your link says that the end, in debate, jusifies any means.]
Rest assured I will have a better day today than you had yesterday, I can guarantee you that.
