So who won the Leader's Debate?

[skitzee2k]

Whaddya mean "Your problem"?

Your "problem" is that you don't read the text nor see the messages and arguments being stated and prefer instead to go off on your flights of fancy without developing and evolving. Maybe you need a few years for things to sink in - some of us on here don't need to take that long

I'll try again though - following your argument through to its natural conclusion, why bother ever having an election. After all, it can sometimes take centuries for a process to fully develop, so why pull the plug after an arbitrary 4 or 5 years.

On the other hand, as it is arbitrary, why not 4 months before having a serious stopcheck on progress so far.

...deep breath.

How long does it take for an apple tree to grow? it would be a bit silly to start questioning the growers skills after 3-4 months wouldn't it, based on growth.
Does that mean we would have to wait centuries before we can say if the grower did well?? No, 4 or 5 years is a perfect time.The same with policies. Which is why it was decided to make it 5 years the maximum term without re-/election.


I am starting to seriously doubt if you are who you claim to be..Dex never was this ...daft

Your problem skitz is that you keep on dipping into your ego within your arguments.

.....that doesn't make any sense, I know we are quite loose with language here, but if you have a point say it don't hide behind ...well nonsense

Once you start using terms such as "Your problem" and "daft" and

The big difference between me and a lot of people on here is I say : I disagree
You lot say : You're wrong!

...then you have degraded your argument from being logical or reasoned, down to personal and ego based. Shame really, 'cos you're clearly a smart cookie. So if you could refrain from this "chip on your shoulder" tendency then I for one would appreciate it.

 

[skitzee2k]

Dex, if it is you, why have you become so sensitive? The 'your problem' was meant as 'the problem which causes me to disagree with that line of reasoning (comparing a job we might do with running a country of 60 million people)'...but I thought we have spoken often enough to be able to shorten things for the benefit of time.

I still stand by the disagree instead of wrong thing.
This is my attempt to get away from this type of this....

"Person A) I think this is good.
Person B) That's because you're sh7t"
....which we see often here.
If I was talking to someone I had never spoke to I would make sure I made ever reply OBVIOUSLY 'reasonable', but when I have spoken to someone often enough I tend to drop into a more informal approach to the language I use.

 

[dexdeloup]

Skitz, you are quite aware of who I am, or was.

If you browse trhough some of your responses on say the first 2 or 3 pages of the "wasted vote" thread you opened, then there are a few examples of replies made by yourself which contradict the very thing you purport to be trying to avoid. You have a habit of becoming desultory, which detracts from the discussion.

I wish you would stop it, 'cos I'm interested in developing an argument rather than a battle of wills or egos. If the line I choose to take holds water then fine, if not then fine also.

So now we are going to page 1,2 and 3 of another thread? What wasted vote thread?...you mean the 'people that don't vote' one? Give me a for instance.

Blas, I was quite happy talking about referendums and frequency of public interference into matters of government when Dex started geting personal.

...I didn't bring those up...though on a thread about politics it isn't hard to see why they did come up...not all of us can be chatting up shelf fixers in other threads.

With respect, you bandy words like "your problem" and "daft", then that's personal. With regard to your becoming desultory elsewhere' here's a few that seem to fit the bill:

the CORRECT analogy would be, .

By which we deduce that the other contributor was "wrong" (and not your "I disagree" stance)

Maybe you should leave the reasoning to the politicians after all ay.

Straight unecessary insult

I will repeat in small sentences so even you can understand.

Again, also implying that you feel that you are so "superior" that you can talk down to a poster in such tones.

 

[skitzee2k]

Dex, in my defence...the first one was an incorrect analogy...in the same way that saying "a bird that flies is like a monkey that flies." is an incorrect analogy. Wasn't an insult...but was obviously wrong...I even suggested how they might make their analogy more relevant.

The second was more of a general reply to the all answerers that were posting comments calling me an idiot while posting odd posts themselves.

The third was a reply to Life for his comment calling out 'my stupidity' by posting this "

on the paedophile/forces thread you had so much to say, i.e. you voiced your opinions. well, since we established that you are not in the forces, does that mean that you are a paedo?

Maybe I reply in kind from time to time....again, If I was going around swearing at people like some on here I would understand your comments, but I think this is more a smoke screen to hide the fact you have no comeback.
