I can't resist throwing my two cents in here. I have found anyone who gets in a discussion with me and speaks as if their opinion is an absolute, I automatically try to figure out a way to show they are full of crap. Perhaps that is why mullahs bug me.
For example. "Going on a mission is a commandment and I will prove it by backing it up with what the Prophet said." What a load of crap. What makes anyone think I would take their interpretation of what the Prophet said. That is an individual thing, unless clearly stated. Anyone on here that wants to debate whether going on a mission is a commandment or not, show me where the Prophet stated it was a commandment. Back to my point. There are very few absolutes in the world. When you come out stating something as an absolute from the beginning it is my opinion you are just setting yourself up for a fall. For example, Indy the other day your comment on all players being lost to Utah only happening for two reasons. That was an absolute statement and you had to back down from it. If you had indicated most instead of "all", you certainly wouldn't have gotten any argument from me. |

It wasn't a prediction of future outcomes, nor was it a description of how our head-to-head recruiting has fared prior to Bronco. http://cougarguard.com/forum/showpos...79&postcount=8 Thus, your comment here helps underscore what I've been trying to say all along. Too many people aren't reading what is actually said carefully enough, and then ascribe a more extreme interpretation to what was said than is justified. |

IMHO, even your statement about now not losing any recruits to Utah other than for academic or honor codes reasons is assinine and shows an inability to deal in reality at times. |

Indeed, debates here are not "friendly sparing" in the bar after hours, but more like cross-examinations on the witness stand. |

Believe me that shit about academics and honor code gets old with not only Ute fans but a lot of BYU fans. Keep putting yourself (speaking of the my shit don't stink crowd) high on this lofty pedastal of morality, academics and people just lie in wait to knock you down. If it is that good you don't have to ram it down people's throats. They will see it. |
