This is ridiculou, you obviously don't want to discuss anything, you seem bent on picking apart my wordage. Goodbye.

Where have I heard the expression "words mean things" before? What the heck is left to discuss if not ideas!? If we aren't free to test the logic of other people's beliefs and vice-versa, if we aren't free to reference the historical outcomes of espousing certain worldviews, then we are simply ignoring the inevitable while closing our minds to reality. Yet reality will eventually put our beliefs to a relentless test whether we are ready or not.

Bravo for those who aren't afraid to have their views challenged.

Help! We're surrounded by intellectual pansies!!!

#97: "Help! We're surrounded by intellectual pansies!!!"

Emotionally immature relativists believe things because they want to, not because they've arrived at their conclusions after critical examination of the facts.

When challenged to defend their beliefs, they can't. Most either change the subject by setting up straw man, making personal attacks, etc, etc. Others run.
