Try it! It's fun, it distracts your opponent, and at the very least will give you time to run away and hide.

Why is it that liberals don't understand that answering a question with a question is designed to make them think? Could it be that they know they aren't capable of thought?

Could it be that it's a tactic to be used when the answer is either unknown or is contrary the rubbish already spewed in the debate?

Wasn't there rules established to prevent this type of badgering of a poster in here?

Mon, 03/11/2002 - 9:30 PM Permalink

badgering? if the alleged poster to whom you are referring doesn't like the thread he or she is welcome to ignore it dan. since that's not happening, i don't see what your issue is.

Shouldn't this be phrased as a question?
I.e., If the alleged poster doesn't like the thread, can he or she be welcome to ignore it, Dan? Since that is not happening, what is your issue?

If you ripped the wings off of a fly would you call it a walk?

if you ripped the wings off a fly would you be condemned to hell for killing it by preventing it from eating?

Couldn't it still eat as long as it could walk to it's food ? Does it have to fly to catch it's food? Perhaps you did it a favor cuz now it won't fly into spider webs, did you think of that ?

Hey this is kinda fun.

what happens though if it walks into a spider web?

and isn't it supposed to be "isn't this kinda fun?"?

What if some think it's fun and that's why they always answer with a question ?

what if i can't come up with a question to answer that question with, but feel the need to respond anyway because its probably the truth?
