Um guys, you DO know that Andrew doesn't live in the U.S., right? Sure, he should know it anyway since it was made into a running gag all over the place, but still... Also, there is a definition for "common knowledge", the one I was taught in journalism was "if you can find it from three or more relaible sources, it's common knowledge."
Andrew doesnt in live in the US?
Neither do I.
Dun dun dun! *trill scream*
:p
Ah, come on, he lives in America Jr., he should know better.Quote:

Thats my point, he lives just north, I live in a different continent thousands of miles away.
I've already made my point and degraded this thread using your ignorance far better then I myself ever could.
You continually ignored my post above about proof, claim, fact and rebuttal, which is relevant in any debate and called me names. Sounds like the response of someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. :lol: I simply asked for a resource for your claim. Great 'arguement' you have here children.
Again, gratifying.
That must be why every single person in it - who all, coincidentally happen to know that Gore got more votes than Bush - is telling you you're an idiot.Quote:

He gave the exact place to find thousands of references to what you're looking for, including THE ORIGINAL SOURCE, which is far more than you deserved. And no, he doesn't have to provide a link - you'll notice real debates don't require a debator to hand his opponent the book he read something in or drive him to the library. You're just too lazy to look - do your own damned research. You don't have the right to waste everyone's time repeatedly demanding links to websites that show that the sky is, in fact, blue.Quote:

Notice that Gore beat out Bush by nearly a half-million in the popular vote.
I think the child is the one desperately trying to change the subject when he knows he has no clue. Go back and check - you started with the insults. If you're so awesome at research, find me these rules of debate which allow you to have no background knowledge of the field you're discussing, and can insult people who do and demand answers to frivolous and stupid questions.Quote:

You can ask for a point of information (which you got, btw), but if it's a point that makes you look stupid, you've pretty much lost the debate - especially if you continue to hammer at it and try and derail the debate save face. Notice how nobody here thinks you're winning, even the guys who should be on your side?
By the way - I live in the same city as Andrew does, and it was all over the news and front pages here, too.
Anyway...Bush's tax plan...risky, isn't it? And am I the only one who wonders whether, whatever he says publicly - Bush suggested to Sharon he wouldn't really mind if Hamas was out of the picture? (Sorry, we needed a good Right Wing Conspiracy allegation to get this thread back on track, heh)
How you can live in Canada and not know a little bit about American politics is beyond me.
I don't know who you're talking about, but I didn't ignore your post, I quoted directly from it. I don't know whose ignorance we're talking about here: everybody who has responded to you has not only shown that Gore got more votes than Bush, but they've also given much more in examples and followups. You clearly did not know that Gore got at least 500,000 votes more than Bush and instead of saying, "Sorry, my bad," you're insulting everyone who corrected you. And now you're talking around us and making odd statements which have no basis.Quote:

1) I've already made my point and degraded this thread using your ignorance far better then I myself ever could.
How? We've already shown that none of us are ignorant by posting FACTS and clear responses to OTHER POSTERS.
2) You continually ignored my post above about proof, claim, fact and rebuttal, which is relevant in any debate and called me names.
We didn't ignore your posts about proof, etc. We all stated that it was common knowledge and proved it. As for the names, Almaci did call you a "twat", but then, with his command of spelling, how do we know he didn't mean, "twit"?
3) Sounds like the response of someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.
Who are you speaking to? All of us?
4) I simply asked for a resource for your claim.
AND YOU GOT A RESOURCE! Just because you didn't look at it or didn't search properly is not your fault. YOU DON'T NEED RESOURCES FOR COMMON KNOWLEDGE! This has been proven by Stone, StriderKyo, myself, and pretty much everyone in the thread.
Be quiet.
Of course Bush wants Hamas out of the picture - everyone ought to want Hamas out of the picture. Terrorism needs to be stamped out.Quote:

As far as Bush's tax plan - what about it do you think is risky?
Plus, when do you guys think the Dow is going to be back over 10,000? 200 point gain today.
