And even if they did, what you just pulled in your last little post is the ultimate example of the kettle calling the pot black.

Way to go, Biff!

It's a college level elective offered by Thomas Aquinas University. When I try to convince someone, I'm smart enough to realize it's easier to catch flies with honey than with vinegar, and so i don't try to insult them on a personal level. That only increases animosity and encourages the debate to devolve into senseless name-calling, which all too many have with you.

Yeah, sure. Thomas Aquinas [sic] my butt. You can't even spell it. Why do you think I'll believe you're taking classes there?


So what point are you trying to make, that hasn't repeatedly been PROVEN wrong?

YOU are the one who's out of control mad, not me. YOU are the one who is being repeatedly proven wrong, not me.

Au contraire I have been proven wrong, but not by you. If I ever found you to be right about something I have such a strong conviction against, I'd probably shoot myself.

Oh, and it IS spelled A-Q-U-I-N-A-S. It's not at the college, but a course offered by the college. You still pay money and are taught by a teacher certified by the school, but it's in a regular 44 minute time slot, just like any other class at my school. You obviously have little understanding of higher level courses in high school.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Thomas Aquinas

What better than a Catholic encyclopedia to confirm the spelling of a catholic saint's name?

The fact, Jefferson, that you think insulting is a part of debating only tells us volumes about your character. To think that I'm calling for banning because "I don't have balls" is simply inane and immature. I don't know if it's your custom, but debating doesn't involve flame wars, and it's against the rules.

If there is any weakness that has been showed here, it is your inability to debate the issues without reverting to personal attacks. Obviously you're not going to change...so I'm done with you.

Why not offer something worth talking about. Of course, you COULD come up with another one of those "oh-so-original" avatars...

Wel, am I right on Aquinas? Even your article contained the "misspelling." My guess is that it was a typo on their part.
