[Platt]
No pigs could squeal as loudly as Krimel and Arlo in their
frustration at not being able to mount a cogent argument against my
conservative views regarding PC, government and individual liberty.
[Arlo]
Argument?
1) You made the assertion that I "claim tolerance and sensitivity",
can you point out where?
2) You further made the assumption that I "vehemently defend PC", can
you point out where?
3) In about a dozen posts I've given multiple examples of how
"conservatives" have manipulated and wielded PC with just as much
vigor as those "evil leftists". What is your respond to ANY of those?
(Torture becomes "interrogation techniques", the Dixie Chicks and
Bill Maher are assalted with a venomous PC war from the right).
4) You claim "individual liberty", and have claimed that "every
regulation takes something away from individual liberty". But yet in
those same posts you support laws denying gays the ability to marry
(regulations) and laws that deny a woman the liberty to go topless
(regulations). You have yet to answer to these as well.
5) I've claimed (rightly) that being "against PC" is nothing but
political manure. I've asked for specific examples of where and when
YOU feel YOU have been the victim of PC. What have YOU not been able
to say that you wish you could say?
Since all you've replied with is the same inane talk-radio soundbites
you always do, how can we even have an "argument"? Its just you
spouting ridiculous soundbites. Your latest post here is a sad and
great example of just this. Do you see, Marsha? Does Platt's reply
in-and-of-itself, given the questions asked and not answered, not
demonstrate shameless rhetoric? Did you see any attempt on his part
to answer any ONE of the above five points? Or did you just see post
after post of inane comments about leftists? And now he claims WE
don't make a "cogent argument"? Ai yi yi...
[Platt]
Nothing further needs to be said about Krimel and Arlo.
[Arlo]
A nice attempt to skirt of the side of the stage, hoping that no one
notices that he's been totally unable to do anything but squalk invectives.
But this is not new. In previous posts, Platt had derided emergence
as "oops". To this I had asked him several questions.
1) At some point in the timeline, you've claimed consciousness did
not exist. Then at a latter point it does exist. What changed in
between point A and B to account for this?
2) You say that human consciousness evolves over time, what accounts
for this evolution? If consciousness is not biological or social,
what is the process by which consciousness becomes greater in
subsequent generations?
He also made the comment that "Man" is here by purpose. I asked the following.
1) Where did the "plan" or "intent" to make "man" reside? Was it
subatomic particles getting together and planning to coordinate to
make a chemistry professor? Is it some external "force" that has
manipulated and controlled cosmic events to produce "man"?
2) If the latter, how does this reconcile with the fact that
(supposing subatomic particles lost the ability) these particles at
one point could respond to DQ. If their actions were pre-ordained to
produce "man", then nothing in the cosmos prior to "man" ever
responded to DQ, the entire cosmos is a mechanical process designed
and built as a home for "man". So, how then does the ability to
respond to DQ just suddenly "appear" in man?
I could go on, but I'll hold back for now. You get the idea. Platt
loves to play rhetorical games of evasion and distortion and then
pretend to be some victim when he is called out on it. I call it the
Pee Wee Maneuver, but you can see from this list of ongoing
unanswered and evaded questions what the issue is here.
So what are the chances do you think ANY question on this list will
ever be answered? And what do you think the chances are that Platt
will play, once again, the poor conservative victim to evil leftist oppression?
Yeah. I do to.
