And this is the problem. Whilst adonis says himself that it's subjective what people will consider to be 'caring about the vulnerable', he's got his own standard that GT would never be able to meet unless, I suspect, GT completely realigns his views to be the same as adonis.

I mean, just look at this:

Lightspeed stated an opinion, your opinion differs, but there is insufficient proof to prove either opinion as fact, even if there is such a thing when discussing such subjective material.

That's purely retarded.

CCS just doesn't understand how to construct a proper argument.

Irony!

Agreed. There was some good discussion to start with, and then it turned to shit.

Probably true, what exactly is wrong with that? If it is true, by your own logic, you're basically asking me to do the same. If our world-views really are that different, then the opposite would be required for me to accept HIS side of the argument. You're the one insisting that those opposing his viewpoint accept his benevolent nature. I just want to him to elaborate further in an attempt to understand it, a few anecdotes about how he gives to charity doesn't really tell me jack. I'm under no allusions that either side will accept the other's POV anytime soon.

Your argument has basically been an attempt to shut down the discussion by screaming "OMG YOU'RE WRONG", without any substantiative argument behind it.

No I'm not. That is some imaginary crap you've come up with.

I'm not so concerned about whether you accept his argument or not. The crux of the matter is that you've just dismissed his argument entirely by saying that the examples he's given are not adequate. Fuck explaining what would be acceptable as adequate, eh! Just keep moving those goalposts back!

No, I don't need you to completely realign your views in order to accept his argument. But you'd be a smart guy to accept that the examples he gave have some merit and you'd use that as a platform to build upon rather than outright dismissing his argument.

No, I'm not. Where did you get that from? Imagination Land again?

Quote:

Then you should ask him to do so. Just a though.

More imaginary bullshit. GT has offered up some examples of how he cares about the vulnerable. Lolspeed has not. So it's lolspeed's turn to offer up something substantive.

Anyway, you're pretty thick. I've read some of your posts and not bothered responding because I can see that you're some kind of retard whose ability to think openly is eclipsed by his sound belief that he is always correct. Hey, you're not a uni student are you?

I can't speak for anyone else, but no example would satisfy me, which is why I simply wouldn't ask for any. To me GT is about as sad as a guy who thinks posting on the internet about his fucking his girlfriend proves to everyone that he is a virile male, something he's unfortunately insecure about in himself.

At least you're finally straightforward and honest about something

Look, Nothing summed up the argument quite well a few pages back,

Furthermore, if Lightspeed originally intended to discuss GT's politics (as might reasonably be inferred, given that this is in fact a politics forum), then GT's defence of his politics by providing evidence in the form of charitable donations doesn't really perform the function that you claim it does CCS.

Why would I accept giving charity to the vulnerable as proof of caring for the vulnerable when a person's politics runs so contrary to that goal that such charity can only be viewed with cynicism?

Okay, so you've finally admitted that you're a dick. Thank you.

I see you went with the facepalm rather than the condescending-laugh-smiley for that one... An interesting choice.
