    If it ever happens I'll let you know. You still don't seem to understand what a debate is, Dude. Debate is a blood sport. I make my points and shoot down yours. You do the same thing. Where do you get this silly notion that I'm supposed to wave a white flag and congratulate you every time you make a point? Do you have some puerile need for my approval?

    You are a persistent debater and you make good points all the time. If I choose to let one stand without challenge, then you've made your point. Do you want a friggin' medal? Get real.

    I make my points and move on. I shoot down your points and move on. You shoot down my points and I move on. I let some of your points stand and I move on. You keep getting hung up on some kind of strange notion that I (never you) must apologize and admit defeat whenever you make a good point. Tell me, who does that? Anybody?

    No, I'm a mass debater. :grin:

    Example?

    Feel better now? Look, who do you think is coming across as a sore loser here? You're getting really personal about an impersonal debate. So I try to defuse it with some humor and it just incenses you and brings on this ridiculous rage.

    If you don't want to debate me, then just don't debate me. No one is putting a gun to your head.

    I guess that explains why so many here come off as rude and intellectually dishonest. I appreciate all who treat FSA as a discussion between friends rather than a winner takes all contest, not to say the later doesn't provide entertainment and challenge.

    I award points to Red for this one. Very nice.

    No one likes to admit when they are stumped on a point. But I cant stand the personal mud slinging, which alot of people resort to. Even myself sometimes, its a natural reaction, but too much is too much.

    i thought the post was to point out some stupid guy that couldnt do math

    85 bil divided by 200 mil is way shy of a whopping $1000.

    honestly, she's worse than quayle and w.

    it really was a riot that the recent SNL skit was largely word for word from that interview.

    im just hoping biden calls her "bimbo". itll hurt obama in the polls, but it would be worth it.

    Stupid me took it at face value.

    I watched it again and it was pretty bad. Wife told me McCain showed up with her to the next interview.

    yeah, that was something. katie threw her a softball when she asked her what newspapers and magazines did she read to keep up with current events and you wouldve thought that katie dropped the $64,000 question. palin just said all of em. katie asked her to name a specific one ---i get my news from a vast variety of sources.
