Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it looks to me like far from 'wiping the floor' with spacefoestus, you simply embarrased yourself.

*chortle* You keep telling yourself that, Mike. See you in two months. I hope you learn to stop lying about your intention to respect the rules of our website.

I'm glad you think you wonn.
Did any of spacefoetus' arguments make you think at least?

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Good morning Mike,

First, if you think you have won that debate or the debate w/ JB, then you are either deluded or you are unfamiliar with the definition of 'win'.

Second, i can debate a false premise and still win a debate.
Debate solves nothing.
Debate does not equate with truth.

In my opinion, debate serves only two functions. First and formost, it is entertainment.
Secondly, it can be used to look at things from a different perspective / POV... teaching someone critical thinking.

Unfortunately, you are hung up on the entertainment value, and still think that argument ad populum determines truth value.


God Bless you Mike, that you may realise that Jesus loves you, and died for your Sins.

Hey I just had a thought:

Maybe Mike Trite is using the word 'win' here in a new slang sense to mean "Got totally crushed in." Kind of like a few years ago when people would say something was 'bad' to mean it was good.
