You're right Wong, I am an asshole. I'll no longer pollute this board with my stupidity. Please feel free to delete my account and all records of my existence.

Parenting is actually presented as AN alterntive. Not the only one, not the all or nothing, one or the other false dillema you claim here. I claim no false delimma, I am merely pointing out that that was the only alternative presented in that post, and that the third option was not brought up until...

Okay, fucktard. First of all, I see that you didn't bother to read my last post before replying, even though I point out EXACTLY where you have made your strawmen, how you developed then, and your not-so-brilliant tactic of then trying to make it look like I'm the one who made them. So you understoo...

A history of strawmen

I've given you every chance. If you think by snipping your own quotes and changing my name has any relevance then by all means post away. I had hoped for discussion rather than having to keep on playing with you. But you keep making your choice. That failure to realise when you beaten is going to h...

I also appreciate your not bothering to deny that you are attacking me with blatant strawmen. Your sense of honesty may just save you from looking like a complete idiot. I doubt it though.

Mr. Wilson, the sad thing is that you think that your ability to flame me translates to a logical argument. You know, you could try rationally debating for once, or better yet just concede, since you obviously don't have a point.

Mr wilson, I do wish that you would cease making strawmen of my position as well. Mike is already proving himself to be an idiot and an asshole here, you don't need to do it to yourself as well. The parents have no way of ever acertaining it for themselves through observation? There is no way a pare...

While Marla's comments were irritating and tactless, I don't think we should be so quick to ban people just for that. Long term nasty behavior, though, is a...

Mr. Wong, I do wish that you would stop attributing to me a strawman that YOU created. As for the rest of your posts, I do not see fit to dignify them with a response.

Don't YOU be stupid, my point was that the parent has known you for your entire life, and you don't suddenly pull a switch and go 90 degrees left without any signs that were probably apparent for years beforehand. And given that the child has also known the parent for the same amount of time, he wi...

Ah, you speak from the perspective of the teenager who thinks he's more clever than he is, and who mistakes his parents' poor observational skills for some kind of genius deception on his part. Don't be stupid, my POINT was that one doesn't have to be clever in order to avoid transmitting any usefu...

Rob Wilson: Given that you never explicitly stated what your position on the child's responsibility was, and given that you and everybody else is focusing on the parent without even looking at SS's suggestion that maybe you should place the blame on the child, it certainly sounded like you were refu...

Why is Maya's alleged lesbianism a bad thing? :D Because it shows she has horrible taste in women - she likes Ritsuko, remember? The only reason Hikari seems to have no bad qualities is the fact that she rarely appears. You could easily say the same for Maya: but I digress. She has no obvious bad q...

Why isn't Hikari on that list? :evil: What do you see in her? Beauty, sanity, and compassion. Plus, she's the only eva woman with no bad qualities, a major advantage considering the following: Asuka's pride. Rei's lack of personality. Misato's addiction to beer. Ritsuko's broodiness (plus her facin...

Oy vey. You still insist that it is the parent, and not the child, that shares PRIMARY responsibility. Listen to yourself: "Of course the child shares responsibility." NO. Thew child has the full responsibility to obey the fucking law. The parent is only responsible as a ODR (one-degree-re...
