You just made my point for me without me having to say another word.
I will never understand your hostility for a civil discussion. You have finally won in that you proven yourself incapable of discussing anything. And I thought I had staying power.

Saying you made my point for me isn't being hostile. It's being honest. Nevertheless take it as you wish. You will anyway.

It is in effect hostile, because nobody but yourself would agree any point was proven under traditional and acceptable rhetorical standards.

It's okay for you to believe that. You've got a B.S. response for everything, so no matter what I say or how prove my point, you'll come up with another way to say it.

Just try once filtering things through a truth machine, you might find it refreshing.

I'd love to find this mythical truth machine, but it ain't you. Your determination that something is BS doesn't rate very high with anybody.

Basically, your rhetorical response is this: if somebody states something you're incapable of disputing, you determine it's BS. That's not the traditional view in the world of rhetoric and debate.

You're obsessed with getting the last word. You win.

Wasserstrom? Impressive person.

Did you just post another post about getting in the last word (making your post the new last word)?

No, I would like you to improve your ability to articulate a reasoned position. Simply calling another person a liar is not a reasoned position.

Let's start by examining your statement that lawyers are liars.

In fact, we can be sanctioned under law and by courts if we lie.

What is a lie? It is an intentional misrepresentation of a known false proposition for a false proposition. Lawyers may indeed make mistakes, but that is not a lie. Lawyer may argue positions that others do not accept, that is not a lie.

You also like the term BS, and you must be using it figuratively, as BS, excrement coming for a bovine male is not literally thrown a lawyer, at least not usually. So you are using the term loosely to refer to anything you don't like.

Look, Rocky, if you're going to engage in verbal discussions, you'll need to become more adept at language, its structure and how to use it, if you want to be taken seriously.

You claim to know truth. How? I can list two or three ways people can learn and know truth. One is through reason and thinking. People can be trained to reason. Another is empirical events, i.e., learning through doing. And some believe they can learn through metaphysical transfers. How have you learned truth? Answer these questions, because you seem to repeat your tactics in every discussion but you don't make your points very well.

What is your profession, what rules of honesty does your profession have?
