lol, people on this site are funny....if you think something, stick to your guns, damn.

Ok, we are bringing this to a close. Final point: I already conceded that you probably did not mean for mentally disabled and other such hard luck cases to be included in your 'leave them to die' plan. However, since your plan includes no way to distinguish the two, then that is in fact what you would be doing. I am sure that you didn't THINK "of it in terms of weeding out those who need the medicine and those who are using this tragedy to create more crime". However, these are the issues that you have to take into account when you are dealing w/people's lives. There is no way for you to magically identify and zap all of the true criminals back to the Superdome and restrain them there. You will have to find someway to sort through the masses, and even then you have to find the police power to put your plan into effect. Now I don't know why you want to argue as if your original plan was responsible or doable, but from here on out, you are arguing w/yourself.

i think the mantra of the site is more coming to an ignorant opinion or making a foolish comment, get blasted for it, then proceeding to make excuses and backpedal.

Really?

Who decides which opinion is "ignorant?"

I ask simply because I hate the use of that specific word.

I would rather argue that an opinion is unfounded -- even wrong.

But that's just my opinion.

the definition of ignorant is not knowing, or uninformed.

You seem to prefer the "take a hardheaded stand, reject all views that even tangentially disagree, then revert to ad hominem attacks on intelligence when assailed" method - but hey, to each his own.

-RC
--"hardheaded" is related to "stubborn" is related to "stupid" is nicer than "ignorant" . . . and doesn't carry the undertones, either!

not quite. it's not my fault that when i choose to take a stand..people can't seem to undermine the logic within. i usually think things out and then argue vs. shooting from the hip. and even when i do that, they still can't diffuse the simple logic. but hey..that's how i discuss.

you're right, i do like to clown. but i do that because i feel like it...and have gotten tired at attempting intelligent discourse, because said subject is ridiculously illogical.

LOL, hey...people have formulated opinions of random screen names. you think i'm an ass....that's not my problem. dont' know you, nor do i care. either way, i do think you are quite dense and live in a bubble.

but that's not the point of this thread, nor would i demean the intentions of this thread by calling you names.
