Once you stop being impressed with yourself you might figure out which particular part of your attempts to be an intellectual is the mistake.

What are you going on about? It doesn't satisfy your perception of moral superiority enough by attacking everyone who didn't fall for this fairy tale with accusations of sociopathy, you also feel the need to lodge personal attacks on their debating style as well? I guess when you can't defend your position, attacking the person is all you have.

How would you describe the kind of person who would "lodge personal attacks on someone's debating style?"

I would prefer to debate the issue

You haven't yet. The first thing you said to me was a personal attack on my debating style. Then you whined about people who "lodge personal attacks on debating style."

Although, to be fair, your attack on my debating style was so loaded with your attempts to look intellectual that you mischaracterized my debating style and failed to make any point whatsoever. I have no doubt that you didn't fail to impress yourself though.

I think I've made it pretty clear that I don't see as a lack of gullibility or prudence. It's immoral and malevolent. If you aren't moved to compassion when a child says she's been assaulted, you aren't a superior intellect. You're a sociopath.
One can also offer sympathies or whatever as a head of state without getting all self-aggrandizing and casting aspersions on Canada and Canadians by lamenting about how this isn't that kind of country/province blah, blah, blah. At least not until there's some actual details for god's sake.
Particularly when this is FAR from the first time the media, and our politicians who just can't WAIT to find something to virtue signal about, jumped the gun on similar stories that turned out to be hogwash.

What did our head of state say about it?

This story as first told didn't stir any emotional turmoil within me. The young girl wasn't hurt. I just figured it was a lone vigilante getting some payback (in his mind anyways).

Does that make me a sociopath? I don't think so.

I don't remember hearing from her.

Apparently she said 'cast aspirations' at Canada and Canadians. I mean, honestly, why do we still put up with that medieval institution?

sociopath-

'a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience."

Antisocial? I have nearly 2000 posts on this social media forum alone.

You shouldn't be using words that you don't understand the meaning of.

You shouldn't be quoting definitions when you don't understand them. Calling you a sociopath is an exaggeration on my part, but the dictionary definition of sociopath isn't working in your favour. I'm OK leaving it there. You made a better argument for you being a sociopath than I was willing to make. Well done.

This is you Cordy...

Devil's Advocate-

"a person who expresses a contentious opinion in order to provoke debate or test the strength of the opposing arguments."

I don't even think you believe half of the stuff you post.

I actually have.

I actually didn't.

You inability to read and/or comprehend is not everyone else's problem, its yours.

Apparently it doesn't just make you a sociopath, but immoral, malevolent, and completely lacking in compassion. Geez, you sound like a real a**hole.

That's not necessarily inaccurate. You should be your own Devil's Advocate. Usually when I make an argument I try to anticipate arguments against it. Rarely on this forum can anyone argue against me better than I can. It's ****ed up, man.


See, I just see him as another forum clown that you can't talk to without him turning beat red and shitting himself, but I guess just crabby is fine.

Yes, you're a real chess master...a legend in your own mind.

Talk about someone who doesn't fail to impress oneself.
