“I’m not guessing at incentives. An incentive is factual evidence. And people’s reactions to incentives are educated guesses. You can argue that the incentives I have posed are false, or that there are other incentives that I have not considered, but you have yet to do that.”
Factual evidence? Where is it then? Where do you get these “factual” incentives? Yourself? That isn’t a reliable enough source. Where’s that “statistic” you gave me? The bagel guy? Bagels and pirating are different. Since you don’t give any backing up on these, I laugh at this. Seeing how I DO ask for factual evidence and I HAVE, maybe not refuted, but just expressed my reasons for not going with your argument a few posts back, and seeing your silly ass take back what you said when it’s turned against you, then act like all “Well, actually, you’re misquoting me, uh uh uh, yeah, Jethro did it! It’s all his fault!” is really funny.
By the way, my “analogy” may have been poor, but, like I said, it wasn’t supposed to stand for a model as to what you said, I didn’t include the “then not giving any evidence for it” part (My fault :[).
And my exaggeration was a pretty good sum up of what you said, I mean, you were basically claiming Group A (games, movies, mp3) = Not Loyal = Bad, and Group B (books) = Loyal = Good.
But I guess that doesn’t count, since you took that claim back.
‘How could Jethro debunk my posts if he only addressed less than 50% of what I actually posted? He mis-quoted me by quoting tiny sections of what I had written thus taking it way out of context.’
‘The thing that frustrates me about all this is about 90% of the replies to my posts have completely avoided actually addressing anything I have said. They all just spout something criticizing my lack of evidence that looks pretty nice when you pretend my post was actually the tiny section quoted.’
Your denial is hilarious.
‘I guess that makes Jethro a successful troll and you a successful idiot.’
Really? Lol, the only idiot is you, asshole. I can explain why you’re an idiot, but the proof is in the pudding, and the pudding stinks(Sorry for bad pun)!
I criticize your lack of evidence because, hey, I’m skeptical. I mean, I never believed in ghosts existed until a few odd things happened to me, then did I start to say ‘hmm, this needs re-thinking’, and, to this day, I don’t believe in God since, well guess what, lack of evidence.
This isn’t a battle you’re going to win, kid. Think about it, not one single person on this thread even remotely agrees with you. All you’ll do is get even more negativity directed at you. Look, here’s a hint, get out of this mean, nasty forum, and go outside and play! You’ll have so much fun.
Look, there’s some kids out there now! Join them, Garth, you won’t regret it.
