Good afternoon, son, 'nother day 'nother hollar I guess.

Quote:
That is not what I meant, and you know it.
Then clarify what you meant, lets see what you wrote.

Bible Humper: Well, limiting change in these two things would lead to consequences that you haven't considered thanks to your youthful naivete.

Vir: And that you have not mentioned thanks to your ignorance.

Bible Humper: The very next bit you quoted was an example of this. My, what a short memory, junior.

Vir: That is not what I meant, and you know it.

Like I said during this exchange, I mentioned soviet agriculture as an example of this right below the bit you quoted. The meaning of "and you have not mentioned thanks to your ignorance" seems clear, junior, so what the heck are you squawking about?

Quote:
How does this relate to your inability to refute it? The overt ad homimen you are endlessly displaying does not refute the fact that MY totalitarian regime will work. Repeatedly asserting that I am ignorant does not make you any the more intelligent, nor does it make your argument any stronger; it only proves that you lack the knowledge and the inclination for a decent rebuttal.
Are you reading what I write, or are you too busy thinking of what to say next to give it your attention?

I mentioned the gross inefficiencies of totalitarian regimes in the very paragraph you quoted here, what didn't you understand?

Now you proclaim that your own regime would somehow not suffer from all of the inefficiencies that plagued all of it's cousins throughout history, and tell me to prove that it won't. You haven't yet offered any explanation of how you would accomplish these feats so what are you asking for? Should I guess how you would try to do it?

Quote:
I would rather get a Communist perspective. I suggest you do the same, if you value historical accuracy, that is.
When I read things like this I suspect that you are just trolling. Historical accuracy regarding soviet communism from a soviet communist? Duh?

Quote:
You know that is not what I meant!! I said the form of government could be applied to ANY LOCATION WITH ENOUGH ROOM, but I will choose Trebaxia, and only my Trebaxia, to be in a space colony--to eliminate the prospect of American imperialism!! Do you understand this, man? It quite simply means that Trebaxianism does not equal an "Iron Curtain"!--only I want this! Trebaxianism can be applied to an island, Americans can do whatever they want. Avoiding American imperialism is something completely unrelated to Trebaxianism.
Well, just like the other aspect of your philosophy that you dumped out of embarrassment for getting it from a video game, I suspect that you are trying to do a little damage control here after you realised how goofy your idea was. Let's see...

Quote:
I said it could be applied anywhere (with enough room)! This includes an ISLAND (I never said undersea), the Soviet Union, Australia, Cuba, a space colony. It is not science fiction! Why did I choose a space colony? you might ask. To eliminate the prospect of unwanted American imperialism!!
Duh? Forgetful, aren't ya? Not surprising since you are most likely pulling most of your "philosophy" out of your ass as you go along anyway.

Your doctrine includes the concept of Lebensraum in space, so what was your objection again?

Anyway, how would a space colony help? Are you dreaming of single handedly kicking America's ass in the space race? Duh?

Quote:
I could not care less about the Nazis! I hate the Nazis! This is irrelevant!! All I said was, if that quote were true, then it would apply to EVERY totalitarian regime!!
Which totalitarian regime was efficient? Since you weren't talking about the Soviets here I assumed that you meant the Nazis. What other regime had any kind of success that even approximates the Nazis and Soviets? Hoxha?

Since you decided to claim that a totalitarian regime was efficient, but not identify which regime, which did you expect me to assume you meant?

Quote:
[1] From the quote, we can come to the conclusion that Einstein had no brain.
[2] Einstein had a brain.
Holy shit, you're just too clever for me Vir. If you consider this to be a legitimate objection why not just say "Well, since nobody can live without a brain to regulate their bodily functions, this quotation thus means that anyone who is a communist at age thirty is dead. Since there are communists that have lived to be older than thirty, you're obviously wrong". <img src="graemlins/banghead.gif" border="0" alt="[Bang Head]" />

Quote:
Oh yes, a typical idealist youth! I "typical" idealist youth that had millions of political ideas at age seven, and later discovers the same brilliant ideas in Plato's Reblublic.
ROFL, you must be world famous, junior, seven years old and you reinvented the philosophies of Plato! I'm shocked that I haven't heard of the boy supergenius!

The fact that you have no clue what you're talking about seven years later suggests that this is just more teenage fantasy. The fact that you are homeschooled rather than part of the gifted program is another clue that you are full of shit.

Quote:
Oh yes, "typical". You do not know anything about me.
Your idealism and excessive fantasizing are "typical", I am well aware that in other ways you are anything but "typical". Abnormal yes, typical no.

Quote:
You do not even know if I am fourteen or not. I say that I am older than I actually am more often than not.
Well, if you are actually younger than you claimed then I would be more understanding of your fantasies, but I'm not convinced of this. Nothing you say about yourself can be trusted, you have already demonstrated that yourself.

When you first appeared, your first posts were nothing but trolling. First your advocacy of atrocities and brutal dictatorship, which incidentally you later claimed was merely being used to "sharpen your debating skills", and that you didn't actually advocate it. Here you are today still spewing the same crap though. Duh?

The next phase was your "I'm a mentally ill kid so pity me" garbage. I already called you out in one of those old threads, you were way too obvious in the way that you tried to rub everyone's noses in the "evidence" that you were ill, such as that idiotic little comic story you claimed was typical of what you write. You were also very particular about informing us all about how you "never leave my house, and only very rarely my room", making sure to emphasize your isolation including wierd extra details like "not playing video games with friends because it will make you a stupid smoker". Duh?


When you were finished with that game, you changed your handle a couple times without realising that your new name is then displayed on your old posts, duh. One of the names you used, Minute man or Tintin, had "christian" in the profile to describe your beliefs. You weren't planning on a little trolling when you did that, and before you were called on it, were you junior? duh?

Troll, troll, troll your boat, gently down the stream.

Why do not you just lock this topic? It is now, thanks to Bible Humper, just another "me" thread. How many of these do we need?</strong>
Why do I not lock this topic? It is now, thanks to you, just another run-of-the-mill argument started by a troll. How many of these do we need?
