keith crime 8 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Please - there are at least 15 threads about this in the forum and yet you haughtily decide to start a masters thread with you as the expertSo far you haven't stated a single opinion or added anything other than to act like some Aristotlean proctor leading the forum through a Socratic exercise as if you are direly needed to elevate or level of intellectual discussion. At the same time mocking Daniel as a bad person and questioning his sense of charity in another thread for making a somewhat innopropriate analogyThe only thing any of your posts have done is aggrandize your own ego - you add nothing - so shut up blow me and go away!

Just get out already. I'm not trading barbs with you as much as you'd get off on that. Just asking you to get out of this thread. Just Get Out Of The Thread. Stop Posting in it. You'll notice that I'm not relpying to anything you've actually said, thought you'd clearly like that. No. I'm just telling you to get out. You don't like the thread. Get out. You got nothing to add. Get out. You don't like what I said somewhere else. Well, then just Get Out. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
tryptout 0 Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 As I just explained to Keith via pm, I don't intend to lead discussion as if I'm standing at a lectern. That would be awful. Razor took the time to seriously respond to my post, and I appreciate that. He told me to frame my question better, so I did. If that sounds like I'm trying to lead a seminar, it might have something to do with trolls who keep popping up and muddling everything up. I started the thread, I care about the issue, I really want to know what people think, and I really want to make an effort to develop my own thoughts on the matter. It's possible that now we might actually be able to get some signal to come through the noise. Link to post Share on other sites
Steppin Razor 0 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 <<It is not a question of legislating morality. It is a question of personal freedom and the role of government. In their wisdom, our founding fathers recognized that the government should be inobtrusive in the lives and pursuits of its citizens.>> Razor - this is what you said earlier, so - you object to the legislation because you oppose government's intervention in the personal affairs of its citizens - - is that fair ?In part. This particular legislation is flawed in every respect, so even if I felt the government should be involved in every aspect of their citizens lives, I'd still object to the legislation.Can you see any cases in which there might be valid reasons for government's involvement in the affairs of its citizens?Depends on what you mean by affairs, but obviously anarchy is not a government, so by definition any government involves itself in the affairs of its citizens to some degree. I am not an anarchist most of the time.What if there were a new craze of knife fight parties sweeping the nation? Would you object to government intervention in the personal affairs of the citizens maiming each other in their backyards with butcher knives? Each participant has voluntarily agreed to fight. Let them cut each other up? Or send in the cops and bust up the party?Knife fights are already illegal.Are you committed to the notion that individuals' affairs are absolutely personal? Or would you say that individuals' personal decisions and actions radiate outwards, impacting family, community, city and so forth - ?No one lives in a vacuum. Link to post Share on other sites

You're like the bratty kid who makes farting noises at the table when grown-ups are trying to talk about something important. You just need attention that bad. Apparently you're getting it here, which is probably a good thing. I really wanted to explore some reasoning around the most important issue facing online poker ever. I thought fcp was the place to do it, since it seems to have a lot of members who are willing to think about things. I should have checked the general forum and contributed there first. Anyways, thanks to everyone who tried to participate. My patience is at an end with Keith. Too bad we don't have measures for dealing with forum brats. Link to post Share on other sites
