That was the whole point of me copy/pasting old quotes, as a joke.  You need to seek help! 

Usually typos don't bother me, but stuff like "speek, entirally, mabey, creationalism, etc" really make me wonder. 

PS. Since you seem to need everything spoon fed to even grasp it for a few minutes, that isn't me in my avatar.

Agreed, It shouldn't matter to me if anyone jumps on the bandwagon, and your right, I should just simply ignore the static and just tune into the signal better, but, notice two of the quotes in my Biased Sarcasm post was from you and Dahang your selves.

Yes, and?

Certainly there was some humor intended in the posts (hopefully there's no harm in that.)  But I would be more interested to know in precisely what way (if any) DaHanG's post and my reply, actually misrepresented the positions of the opposition in this debate?

I mean, if we treat those two posts as a tongue-in-cheek summary of the claims made by the opposition, it should still be possible for the opposition to say, haha, very funny, but you missed the boat on points (a), (b), or (c).... Assuming our two posts did indeed mischaracterize any claims made by the opposition?

As far as the other noise though, I couldn't help but notice that just as I was reading and thinking of a reply to this, guess who pops in with Static ? That funny looking dude with no shirt that wears a gay looking yellow crown that randomly copies and pastes quotes from someone somewhere without any form of credit of the author of said copied matterial or any other additional text letting the reading know it was just a simple copy paste, leading the reading to believe that it was his own belief, only to actually type something for himself later that is completely the opposite of what the reader was originally lead to believe in the first place. Thus completely confusing the reader entirally.

Well... this is sort of what I was getting at when I addressed my having been trolled by ni-ux.  It happens.

Agreed, letting someone know that it is in fact an actual copied/pasted quote in order to be funny would be of great help.
Thanks

Everyone else seemed to get it, how uncharacteristic of you!

Haha, no of course not. At least not by themselves. But when you add them to all the other drops in the bucket from all the other different sources you'll get a full bucket of water every time. After awhile (combined with everything else) it can start to wear on a person after a while.
Especially if that person is passionate and/or sensitive about a particular subject.

But two can play it at that game I suppose. In fact, several times i have started to be sarcastic in a humorous fashion but refrained in fear of insulting or being seen as trying to deliberately offend someone. Maybe I should just lighten up a bit and realize that I’m probably not actually going to piss anyone off. But it's hard for me to go there as I tend to come off as a real asshole sometimes when in actuality I’m really just trying to get my point across though some light humorous sarcasm myself.

Spell check doesn't fix "coarse", because it's a real word..just not the meaning you intended.  DeathStalker strikes again!

Well, speaking for myself, I'd like to think I would look forward for a bucket of ideas to rain down on my preconceived notions.  I mean, that's what this is about, right?  "Bring it on!"

Why not?  Satirizing our positions is something I think everyone here could appreciate.

My bad. Boyfriend ???

I mean, you know, it's ok.

I'm just sayin

In case anyone was wondering.

Pretty clever, are you like 10?  I always pictured you as a dumb redneck from a southern state in his mid 40's..although both would explain the misspelling of easy words..

Almost
Try dumb redneck from a southern state in his late 30s and you've got it.

If you yourself disagreed with Hitchens on specific ideas, I'm interested to know those details.

Actually there we're several times that I could see and understand with compation both of their points.
Other times I couldn't disagree more with either of them.
I'll have to watch it again when i have more time so can more specific. Then i'll post my opinion.

"Bring it on!"

Umm, ok. LOL

[haunted]

Some people didn't hop on the 'dahang and quadz' bandwagon. I chose to quit this little debate when it became fairly obvious that my questions would not get answered and my points would not get addressed.
