I don't just know him, he's a friend. And again, it's not ridiculing the retarded, but rather people who should know better and think they are more important than they actually are.
There are people who take internet posts so serious that they will go into real world stalking and harassment. Some have even assaulted and committed murder over words on the internet.
Where does all that start? Yep, you guessed it, with people thinking that their words are so important and that a free exchange of ideas and discussion is a "debate" that they can "win."
Yes it is - if it weren't then what impact would it have? The implication of your beloved image is that even if you win a internet argument you're still a loser in life and don't even know it.
Again, no one here is contending that this is a "formal debate" or that the this is a world changing discussion.
This is the second time in one day that I've wished that FR had an ignore feature. I also wish you had more things to fill up your day so you wouldn't pollute interesting discussion threads with nonsense.
