Just stop trying to put others down through language and name calling in an attempt to raise your standing. It doesn't work, it is not fun, and it is not an emotionally deficient reaction to not like it. Useless name taunting does not make your argument any better. It makes your argument mute. Nobody will listen any more. At that point no one listens, it doesn't matter what you think.
He doesn't get it, he doesn't listen. He, well, basically he is an ***, that sums it up.
No, Dutch.
I'm basically someone more interested in getting at the truth.
Bull***, you're interested in flogging your point of view and annoying the *** out of anyone who dares take a different view.
Dutch, how many times have I got to say this?
Acknowledge the R&D issue, and I can't argue with you about which is "better".

I'll acknowledge the obvious, if you give drug companies unlimited money of course they'll do more R&D. But that's not your point, the point you are trying to make is that drug price regulation *guts* R&D, that's a much different statement, and one you have not proven. I have looked up a number of sites on the issue and nobody is saying that.

I know what is best for the species from my view.

It is decidedly NOT best for a species for individual organisms to be immortal.

You can disagree with that. You'll likely die before me, and perhaps immortality comes sooner.

I wouldn't jump to any conclusions, I am in excellent health, have ideal body mass for my height and age, am financially secure, live a stress-free life and have good genes. I could live to be 100.

And forget immortality, OK? Get real.

But when you flat out lie, most probably out of gross ignorance, it makes you ripe for bitch-slaps.

That's contradictory, if one says something out of ignorance then by definition they are not lying.


Most polite discussion avoids the truth. That's why it stays polite.



Baloney, absolute hokum.
No, pure social truth.

Nonsense, the truth is best achieved by people of good will who are willing to constantly rethink and reevaluate their positions as they carry on a debate. Firing off insults constantly is childish self-indulgence that just drowns out the truth with noise.
