No, your appeal to ridicule took place when you dismissed his opinion, implying that he was somehow inferior and thus to be ignored.

We, as a species - as a single entity entitled 'the human race' - discovered the secret of powered flight. What other species has? None, except the human species. His usage of the phrase is quite correct, and I still argue that are committing the fallacy of equivocation.

Then you must provide proof, as per your own definition of a fact.

 

Those of European descent would appear to be those "Certain people" you're referring to, when the sentence is formed as you wrote it.

 

lol I picture you as like Jim Belushi... Yeah, I think this is more the real you here too. I'll guess that you're sitting with a beer and watching the game. I was into sports too.

I'm European... Am I one of the dreaded ones you were referring too? :excited:

 

Baller, I really didn't know you in the past... I do agree that people should form their own opinions and start with a clean slate. I am doing that now, Baller...

You should know something about me... I never take anything in the forum to a personal level and if I get into a discussion the outcome will not effect how I feel personally about someone.

 

Now THAT is a compliment I'll stand behind Baller.

 

Lol Jim Belushi? I'm 6'4, 175-180 lbs, the majority of which is muscle, and that's without lifting any weights. In a month or so, I'll be around 200-205 with a 12 pack most likely. I play basketball. That's where the name "baller" comes from. Around here it means somebody who's good at basketball. Really, the only actor I can think of off the top of my head that has my body type would be Ted Danson. I did go to school with a kid who I swear has to be exactly like Jim Belushi was growing up though. I couldn't watch According to Jim without thinking Jim Belushi was the future him. I don't drink alcohol at all unless I'm out with friends/with a girl or girls. I have to watch that stuff.

Well you're Ukranian, so no. Eastern Europeans are a lot tougher/superior to their Western counterparts. Like I said though, it's not so much race as it is experience. The Europeans from England, France, Spain, etc etc who never experienced the kind of reality that people in the Amazon or in Africa or elsewhere have experienced would obviously be inferior to the people who have. People who live comfortable lives over generations tend to end up looking like people who lived comfortable lives. I'd take a fit Zulu in a fight to the death over a "soft-bodied" Englishman any day of the week.

 

Well since you're telling me something I should know about you, I'm going to tell you something you should know about me.

I don't feel anything for or towards anyone on here or in real life until they stand out to me for either a good or a bad reason. If they stand out to me for a bad reason, I simply go about neutralizing the annoyance they cause and stopping them from doing so to me or others. If they stand out for a good reason, then I want everybody to see the good in that person and I don't ever forget what that person is and I let that person into my life.

Some people who used to talk to me from here know that. This is like a video game to me. I type things into a screen, responding either to a thread or to a person, and keep typing words into a screen against any challenge or opposition that may appear, much like beating a "boss" in a level of a video game. Nobody is more than this game to me until I recognize them as such and stop seeing them as a part of it.

So, in other words, don't worry about me taking anything personally or getting offended. I respond to what is said, not to the person who says it.

 

I've got you figured out. You're one of those "polite" douches. You're all about honoring certain rules of communication/human interaction(as evidenced by your "rant" threads) and because you do this, your doucheyness goes undetected to those who don't know how to spot it like I do.

You outed yourself and showed your true colors when you started with your catty little digs towards me though.

 

Still the same old baller, blah blah, I'm tough and strong and a great the greatest ball player there is blah blah I'm no leaving for good, blah blah douchey blah blah fagot blah blah you all live in the suburbs and don't know how tough it is in the ghetto, blah blah if I say it is true.

Well for fuck sake son get on the baller train and go already, I had forgot how boring your tirades could be, you self centred prick.

 

I love how ballerbitch just slyly ignores you because he has no rebuttal. It's almost as if... if he doesn't respond then you never said anything in the first place. It's like "they can't see me if I can't see them", except with words and a retard at the wheel.

-SOOD

 

Holy fuck! Catch up!

 

I get the impression that ballerbaby thinks he could be dropped in the middle of a rain forest and survive with a flint and a rock as his only tools, I contend the man (should this be boy) strike man and insert boy lives in a perpetual dream world not unlike that of Walter Mitty or Billy Liar.
The 6'4" super ball player who so far as failed at life, you have achieved nothing and will continue in life this way because your attitude of always being correct will just stand in the way of any progress.
And good luck in that jungle son, we will send in a couple of real jungle experts to find your empty husk of a body in about a week.

Twat.

 

what a joke,if you don't like what people you run to the mods,Chunky in particular and bawl like a baby,, I'VE GOTTEN ON YOUR ASS SO MUCH YOU DON'T ANSWER ME , so who are you going to cry to now retard ??,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

Billy boy, he got on the baller train and has left, last Fuckwit Central. He says he aint coming back.

Take odds on that anyone?

 

It's okay.

Everyone else can see he is ignoring them, and that's really what counts. There are one or two other such posts where I have firmly, politely, and completely refuted him, and he has ignored them, too.

 

Gods.. Incubus.. that made me larf.

Taking bets he left? I doubt it.. last time he said he was only on here to check PM's and that's it. I will bet it is more likely he is lurking.

What is truly telling of his character is how x_orion and carrie_j tried to have a calm rational discussion with him and he simply snubbed it. To the point where he tried to promote himself as the victim here.

They even offered him sound, solid advice as to how proceed on here. Completely ignored.

 

Infortunately, Baller's discussions always seem to reduce to him defining common terms increasingly narrowly, until his opponent is unable to accept them because, while they are, in a specific case, bearing out Baller's conclusions, the real meaning of the term contains a variety of connotations, nuances and other such vagaries that leave his conclusions untenable.

 

Wordsmiths abound..

In other words he spouts too much shit to be able to read what he's trying to say.
IF I'm reading what your saying correctly.

 

Sorry, my post was a little obtuse...

It's not specifically that he 'spouts shit' - though he has been shown to be wrong on both definitions and concepts a number of times - it's that he uses a term, is challenged upon it, and then begins to define the term increasingly narrowly in order that it support his conclusion.

He moves very rapidly from meaningful, general cases, to narrow, very specific ones. His logic may or may not be sound - that's certainly open to debate, and my analysis of it can be seen over the last page or so - but one has to question the real worth of a discussion that revolves around an impossibly narrow definition of some term.

Better?
