Why does everyone always run away!?

[A random person]

On the internet, arguments boil down to opinions that can't really be disproved. This makes the argument essentially pointless hostility, and keeping it up would be an unnecessary pain. That's my guess, anyway, and I was in a few recently so that colored my opinion.

Indeed you did! Love the format, there. *applause*

Nice formatting can do wonders. Thank heavens I took a class on HTML sophomore year, else half my posts would look moronic. >.>

I'm a senior and trust, me it's going to be like this for a while, just be glad that you don't have teacher that every time you win a debate, you get called a retard for it...I hated my sophomore english teacher...stupid *****.

My god... We may have had the same teacher... My 6th hour teacher loved me my first few weeks in her class... We'd talk before and after class, and I'm certain she appreciated the fact that she had a non-moronic student. Then she discovered that I was smart and disagreed with her. Then I found out exactly how fascist a reign she could bestow upon the room.

Maybe we did, do you go to BBCHS?

No, no I did not. Which is sad, because now I realize there are two versions of that ***** out there, not just one.

People run because they're insecure, and as a result afraid. People who run tend to be people who mentally can't handle criticism, and so they just avoid it.

 

[Lord Thodin]

Well I wouldnt know about this as, i dont let people who im arguing with run away from the argument. They either stop or i chase them down and beat them with a stick till the issue is resolved. I controlled my 11th grade chem class with debates and smart ass comments. I also controlled my 10th grade english class.

 

[Robert632]

I block people on youtube the moment they start saying things such as "Doesn't afraid of anything", but I noramly stand by what I say and debate it. If I didn't want to talk I shouldn't post, at the escapist at least.

ok so i ask you to stop attacking me,bassicaly admitting, "yeah i acted like an idiot". so what it's not the worst thing i've done, and i asked nicley for you all to stop,and what do i get? more self rightous pricks(sorry for saying that, but most of you are acting like that.) who think, just because they've been on here longer, means they can disregard my asking to stop this stupid flame war .

You are the one talking about join date not anybody else.
I'll be blunt.
1) Nobody was attacking you.
2) You were punished for how you talked, not that you talked.
3) If you truely wish it to stop then don't post in this thread, you don't need to respond and if they keep pressing the issue then its them not you at fault.

EDIT: Please use better grammar, because "cus" is very annoying.

#1 when i admit i'm wrong(which i have.) and ask nicley for you people to stop(which i have.), then you should not post stuff saying how much of a mistake i've made, and so the attacking bit.
#2i've admitted i was wrong. shut up about it.
#3 no i won't. it's my way of writing,but thanks for the suggestion anyway.

I'm guessing they didn't even watch the movie. People who don't defend their opinion don't usually have a reason behind it. They just follow it blindly and know nothing about it.

Its actually kinda humorous. Her's was(still is at the moment) the Member Review of the Day, the qualifications for being that must be quite daunting *sarcasm*. She mostly complained about how a character pulled out Dubble Bubble Gum and when a character logged onto a computer, Norton Anti-Virus popped up for 0.5 of a second. She said it was "blatant advertising".

Ha! I hope you made note of the excessive advertising in Transformers 2, I think there is like a 4 minute youtube video detailing it.

I'm with you on the topic sentence. I love arguing but most of people I argue with either avoid the topic or resort to name calling whenever I start winning.

Damn, well, the ***** at my school had to quit because she got pregnant and the school refused to have a pregnant, unmarried woman teaching kids...I find that hilarious...go school!

But seriously, she gave me a D+ on a paper I wrote about how gaming doesn't lead to violence. I showed the paper to another teacher that I liked and she said she would have given me an A on it...more proof that the ***** was just out to get me.

okay last time i'm asking nicley please you 7-8 people. I'm sorry for being an asssole .drop it. i will stop if you stop replying.

Please don't tell me to shup up, that is attacking. You didn't ask nicely, you more or less demanded people leave you alone after making a suspect post.

My friend refuses to believe that Ulster wants to remain Ulster, and not part of Ireland, somehow the concept of people whom he has never met, dont share the same opinion as him, its "oooohh shut up we all know there voices are being oppresses" or "Its becoming a catholic country again" or "if they ever voted to see if they wanted to be part of ireland it would be rigged"

I doubt GB really gives a fuck to be honest.

ohhhhh is there a fight going on in this thread? FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! 20 euro on the man with the higher post count!

seriously lads calm down

 

[YYZed]

because they realise that anything you say will not change their opinion and anything they say will not change your opinion so they dont waste their time.

either that or they are scared you will go TwiTard on their ass and threaten to slit their throat or something so they run the hell away. (i'm not hating on people who like Twilight just the really rabid ones, there is a difference between a twilight fan and a twitard)

i would get all nasty about how i've siad to please stop in several of my post's, but you'd just say something along the lines "no you started it, so if you admit you were wrong then we just have to continue it.

also i was just telling all you people to shut up/drop it, so don't think i've just singeled you.

Maybe they're clones of each other! I wrote a huge-ass paper on free speech (several smaller topics, but most were along the lines of "is symbolic speech still speech?" (yes) and "Is an amendment banning flag-burning okay?" (no)),and she actually commented on it while I was typing it, saying it was good, told me to correct one or two things...

And then, when I turned it in, gave me a C-. The coup de gras? Two of the things she corrected me on, she marked "wrong", and claimed I misinterpreted what she said when I called her on it. Despite the fact that she physically erased and retyped the parts-in-question.

You did not admit you were wrong. You claimed you admitted you were wrong. You didn't ask nicely (though you may have asked "nicley", I'm not sure what that word means), you demanded. And claiming that it's your way of writing does not make it acceptable unless it's a quality of it other than "wrong". If I punched you in the cock instead of shaking your hand, claiming that it's "just my way of greeting people" does not in any way justify the fact that I just punched you in the cock.

And that's what you're doing, by the way. Punching the English language in the cock.

Damn, that's just cold...I honestly think that she just marked me down cause it was topic that she had no real knowledge on, and it was also our term paper, which is 25% of our semester grade for english...I still managed to pass...and I rubbed that in her face. I'm glad our final is 40% of our grade, otherwise I would have been...royally fucked

I should feel better becaue you are being a jerk to everybody? That makes it worse to me. Here's a fact, nobody is attacking you. No one. What people are doing is disagreeing with you, which you seem to think is a personal attack.

They are saying "What he did was bad" not "What he is is bad".

It looks like you simply wish to have the last word, otherwise why continue posting in this thread?

 

[Kiutu]

It depends. When I keep arguing with some, it just becomes shots at eachother or something. I also am less likely to continue an argument when in the end we both will definatly be thinking the same exact way. Some people just hound me and I will not bother anymore with them. Sometimes its not running away, but saving time.

 

[Srkkl]

Just recently I proved this guy on this site that RE5 wasn't rascist and why, after my long and winning argument he put in all caps "LEAVE ME ALONE.....blah blah blah." It was quite funny in my oppinion although I spent all that time explaining my point for nothing, so frustrating at the same time. In conclusion I think it's because of that deadly sin called pride, people just don't like being proven wrong.

 

[Ajna]

i am a gambler, what are the odds on the newcommer?

Zero. Though that does mean a bet of 20 Euros would net you a solid E20x10^Infinity Euros, which is a relatively high amount. I wouldn't consider it a good idea though.

No, no I did not. Which is sad, because now I realize there are two versions of that ***** out there, not just one.

Why the slashthrough on "Royally Fucked"?

I'm in the same boat. After the paper, I was down to a C (from a B), but the exam managed to pull me up to a B-. Though a "C" doesn't sound that bad, bare (shit, is it "bare" or "bear" in this case?) in mind, I plan on going into a career in English (E.G.: Teaching/Writing), and applied for an A.P. class Junior year. If I didn't have a B as a minimum, I wasn't going to get in. Period.

#1 when i admit i'm wrong(which i have.) and ask nicley for you people to stop(which i have.), then you should not post stuff saying how much of a mistake i've made, and so the attacking bit.
#2i've admitted i was wrong. shut up about it.
#3 no i won't. it's my way of writing,but thanks for the suggestion anyway.

And that's what you're doing, by the way. Punching the English language in the cock.

so your saying i should just conform and not write how i feel comfortable, not caring about spelling or grammer to the point were i look over ever post i write several times before posting.
i didn't demand, i just keep insisting it in the hope you people will realize maybe i regret attacking someone, but no. you all probably think i'm the god damn worst thing here because i made a mistake. and before you just repeat your cock thing again, yes, it does justify me saying this post, but not most of the things i've said before.i realize this. now let me leave in peace. stop fucking quoting me, cus then you just start mocking me. i don't care what you do when i'm off this thread, just quit talking to me, and i will leave you alone.ok?

Edit:also note how i just poilielty say no to changing how i write.
