WordInterrupted said:My dear, if you had the capacity to best me in debate, we would still be debating the death penalty. You stopped debating and started these lame attacks because you aren't capable of standing up to me.
I have to stand up to TQ because people like you are incapable of it. You should be thanking me for keeping the gang of neonazis on this board in their place.

I'm not debating you because you presented nothing that could be debated. For once, you responded to a call for evidence on my part with evidence that actually does back one of your claims. In a debate between us, that's a first on your part.
WordInterrupted said:It may be the first time that you've accepted that I've beat you, but it's not the first time. I recall a discussion of health care and immigration, in particular, where I presented statistics proving that the U.S. healthcare system is inferior to socialized systems and debunked your claims about the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S, and you just refused to acknowledge that you were wrong.
In the first example, you're debating with Buttons, not me, you goof. In the second, you cite the U.S. Census Bureau, which maintains that the Mexican immigrant population in the United States more than doubled between 1990 and 2000, increasing from 4.3 million to 9.2 million. source. That's not a debunking on your part, that's just throwing a citation out there that doesn't say what you claim it does, which (as I said previously) has been par for your course when you can be bothered to cite sources at all.
Oh, you don't even want to start the "neo-nazi" name-calling again, Wordin, because that's an argument where I thrash you like a recalcitrant schoolboy every time you open your metaphorical mouth.
WordInterrupted said:Try reading the thread, my dear. When I mentioned that 45 million people didn't have health insurance, you said that there were "45 million people too many." I used the census data to demonstrate that there were only 9 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., not 45 million. As per usual, you refused to acknowldeged your false, uninformed statements, and started editing your posts to cover for yourself. Now, if you want to stop squirming and prevaricating as you have in the past and start acknowledgeing that I'm right as you have in this thread, I think that's a very positive development.
WordInterrupted said:If you don't like the label, quit apologizing for Hitler.
I'm only going to acknowledge that you're right when you actually are right. That's happened once so far. But you've unwisely refused to heed my advice and avoid stroking your own ego over it, which makes it less and less likely that I'll be inclined to acknowledge it again even under the rare circumstance in which it might occur.
And I've shown, more than once, your habit of lazily throwing citations about that fail to meet that criterion.
WordInterrupted said:I'm sure you wish that were true, but it's simply a fact that I proved you wrong about the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S.
