[Platt] I didn't answer stupid questions. [Arlo] Why is this a stupid question? Again, I ask, what if she had said "the only reason the republicans had nominated McCain is that he is a white man"? What would your response have been? Would you have considered this remark "racist"?
It doesn't surprise me that you won't answer it, of course. [Platt] Social considerations which apparently you happily ignore when it suits your convenience. Shameful. [Arlo] Such as? Let's have some examples here. I can logically defend all my positions, something I have no qualms doing. I don't have to resort on deceit and evasion to skirt hypocrisy as you do. [Platt] So you refuse to answer my question. [Arlo] Which question was that, whether or not I "won't pay for those who are dedicated to defending your country from its enemies and willing to give up their lives to do so? Sure sounds like it. " Sure I will. Happily. I have many friends who are serving, mostly marine corps. But my question stands, why is it moral for you to force me to pay for a war I may not believe in? Why is it moral for you to use the guns of government to steal my income to fund your war? Is it out of arrogance? You talk so much about how it is so immoral for government to "redistribute wealth", a topic YOU interjected again here, let me remind you, when you avoided my questions and instead offered some idiotic talk-radio rubbish. But you seem perfectly happy to steal my wealth when it suits your purposes, don't you? But let's get back to the topic at hand... [Arlo had asked] Hmm. So passing a law to prohibit others from invading my home with a "smell" is "stupid". But passing such a law to prohibit others from invading my home with a "sound" is "sane"? What's the distinction? [Platt] If you don't know ask the people who passed muffler laws. [Arlo] I'm asking you, since you say one is "stupid" and the other "not". Or is this just another case of talk-radio evasion because you can't defend your own moronic assertions? I mean, its blazingly evident why you won't answer. [Platt] So your answer is, "That's just the way it goes." Wow. Let's all etch that baby in stone for posterity. [Arlo] You disagree with my premise that balancing freedom and social responsibility, in this case the amount of noise my tailpipes can make, will not leave some on either side unhappy? What solution do you propose that will make everyone happy? [Arlo had asked] So once again I've done my best to avoid your talk-radio idiocy. Will you return that by answering my questions? Or will it just be more of the same? [Platt] My answer is "That's just the way it goes." I've learned that from the master of double-talk and smoke-blowing. [Arlo] Ah, you mean Limbaugh. Yes, I know you get your tactics from him. What's funny is that you mean to paint me as "double-talk" and yet in seven posts I've done nothing but ask direct questions to which the only replies have been moronic evasions, deceitful rhetoric and the usual talk-radio rubbish. What double-talk have I given? What "smoke blowing" have I done? Can you give some examples? No, you can't. But it's another good Pee-Wee. And since the score is now Dialogue 0, Moronic Talk-Radio Rubbish 7, I happily bow out. You've already proven again that all you offer are ridiculous (and hypocritic) one-liners, and when challenged can only offer the moronic rhetoric of talk-radio. Kudos!
