Then you've already lost.
I was under the impression that we were already debating.
Um, yes, I consider most of what's in boards like Philosophy, Ethic & Morality, and Politics to be debates. Some threads start out with people just expressing their thoughts and pondering, but most spin into debates pretty quickly. This one did on page 1.This is called tit for tat chatting on a public internet forum.
Far from a debate my dear....unless that is what you consider a debate....

Yes, a debate.Oh, you mean people arguing back and forth and bouncing from topic to topic......
Ah. Thanks for clarifying. I see the source of our misunderstanding.When I speak of a debate, I am speaking of usually two people, one presenting an argument and the other presenting their argument to an audience of people in strict accordance to a timed, structured format.
That's fine. I prefer to establish premises.And no I am not going to establish a premise that would lead to that question. That would be quite a waste of time.
Yes, a debate.

I like you.... I mean I get the feeling you are here just trying to learn and be a help to others as well as letting us know where you stand on things...
That is cool!
You and Paradoxum are like kind of the only non-Christians that I enjoy conversing with....
The guys here sure could learn a lot from you two!
So you will waste your time on her. I'm hurt. lol.The point is that she is not you.
That is the point.
Now why can you not do that in one short post? And was that positivism, post positivism, or ignosticism today?Although I do wish with every ounce of my being that you would agree to debate me.
I would even be willing to debate you on the merits (or lack thereof) of post positivism and show you why it is absurd.
Well, you did claim to have done stuff that you did not do. Correct?But surely you will reply with some bit about me being a liar
To explore reality through debate is about as sensible as doing it via popular vote.or this or that and how you would not stoop to debate me because it would be a waste of time blah blah blah...
Actually, I have done that, just not in a debate format, and I have provided those links in previous exchanges.So I for the time being, shall just ignore you until you are ready to defend your views in a structured format.
Why not put everyone on ignore and declare victory?Which means you do not have to waste your time and reply to this post. I will not be answering unless it is to accept an invitation to debate you.
As seen by your recent posts in this thread, you should take that advice.Talk less Davian, Say more, Hate Less, Love more
IOW a showfight in which the two persons who have already settled for a conclusion compare their debating skills that they themselves are so impressed with that they feel they deserve a rapt audience.When I speak of a debate, I am speaking of usually two people, one presenting an argument and the other presenting their argument to an audience of people in strict accordance to a timed, structured format.

Nothing more.
That´s about the worst condition for anyone gaining any insight. It´s about defeating the other. I could as well watch a box fight.

Irony isn't just a river in Egypt, you know.
Man interacts with the world and creates meaning through relationships.
Links please.
No need for links.
Yes, I agree.You hit the nail precisely on the head there Quatona.
I think the fact that the post was complimenting me makes me biased.Your ego is big enough for the board.
