You're welcome. I simply can't compete with this level of debate. You win the argument - well done Sir.
A key component of being able to debate is a degree of empathy. Whilst TMQ sometimes has a marginal deficit in that regard, you have a total absence to the point that you convey a pathological condition.
You seem almost completely unable to appreciate others' points of view and perspectives on a wide range of subjects. It is a way of thinking which has lead to a great deal of suffering in this world.
Whilst I value and respect your opinion, I would point to the first paragraph of my reply to paphos_mcfc on page 56 as proof that I do appreciate others' point of view, as long as they are happy to have a sensible debate and not resort to frankly childish insults and insinuations. I'm referring to the likes of nijinsky's fetlocks, swp's back and skashion who seem intent on insulting me in reply to every post I make rather than engaging in debate. I do understand why they use this discrediting tactic - it nicely deflects attention from a post they don't agree with but can't effectively argue against, and at the same time they feel as smug as a school bully backed up by their mates. 'Right-wing nutjob; cretin; idiot; waste of oxygen' - liberal use of these means they don't have to answer tricky questions or admit to flaws in their thinking. At least the likes of Damocles, whose views are pretty much diametrically opposed to mine, has the decency to engage in sensible debate - which is what I thought this off topic forum was all about.
Roll on the next load of insults from the usual suspects. Go on SWP's back, I'm sure you can improve on your last 'procreate' jibe...
