Dholly, if you were actually a woman I'd be staring at your boobs long before I got through paragraph 1 of your post whereas if I was standing next to Smoke I would be staring at him because he is a boob.
Thank God my mouse has one of those scroll wheels on it

You guys are both bringing home the bacon. One guy's posts are too damn long to look through and the other has some pretty vile spelling, either way I'm just trying to make a point.
dholly, lets team up against him
Not so fast, GZire has a valid point. Your spelling has serious room for improvement.

You said: ok, now according to the verb definition of debate, it means "to turn over in one's mind." so what does this tell you dholly? there cannot be a debate unless there is an attempt to change mindframes of the opposer. PERIOD."
Lol, here's what it tells me. When I first read this, I laughed out loud... because it makes zero sense contextually as stated in your example. But since it was easy enough to cite a specific example of a debate that effectively shot down your "cannot be a debate unless there is an attempt to change mindframes of the opposer" assertion, I figured I'd give you a break. That is, until you actually posted the explanation for everyone to see!
SmokeClue1: 1 a : to argue about b : to engage (an opponent) in debate defines debating with another, ie., more than one person; 2 : to turn over in one's mind defines debating with oneself ie., 'mulling' it over in one's own mind.
You used the definition of debating with one in an example that required an opponent!?
- Attempting to use a goofy, easily rebutted arguement... $.01
- Incorrectly quoting Merriam-Webster's Dictionary... $.01
- Actually posting the definitions so everybody can see your Fup ... PRICELESS!
BAAHAHAHHh
btw, thank you for that useless explanation of mathematical theorems.
You're welcome. SmokeClue2: That "useless explanation of mathematical theorems" thoroughly owned your puny little "CANNOT be an OPINION. for it is a PROVEN THEOREM already. so what are you trying to say?"
