Wh... what? This is just a silly ad-hominem fallacy but you can keep digging.
Yeah, lately his posts seem to have lost any purpose beyond introducing a feeling of fremdschämen. A shame, really.

Oh, and my critique of the thread premise still stands, even after all this.
Donald Trump must have hacked jason's account...
My argument wins
There is nothing 'supposed' about the education of Robin, me and others. Its revealing how much you struggle to acknowledge it.whilst the (supposedly) educated among you
Robin has spend decades of his lives curing people and saving lives, that is his interest. Note how in the OP there is no mention of the US, the only individual called by name is British and the articles deal with Pakistan, Congo and global statistics. Yet somehow it is still an attack on the US, you, your values and whatever else you want to drag into it. I hope that one day you can frame a statement you don't immediately agree with (and usually simply do not understand for obvious reasons) in terms beyond "U MY ENEMY I ATTACK YOU!!!!!".When someone with an interest in bashing America for it's healthcare
comes up with something besides an insignificant statistical anomaly
What are you on about? "I had my chance to construct an argument" and I did. My argument wins, due to the fact that I used logic and reason [...]
It was neither ad hominem nor "un-classy," but it was most definitely an ironic word choice on Gregg's part.
It was an ad-hominem simply because it's only premise was merely that I'm a mexican to disqualify what I said. Jason counter = 12.
For starters, I've never seen a poster on this forum engage in more blatant America bashing than our own Mr. Spiritwood, and secondly, I only reverted from "western civ" to "America" in this thread after it became crystal clear from Robyn that that's what he was talking about. Either you missed that gradual morphing, or you're willfully choosing to ignore it.It is interesting how similar the musings of our 'independent thinker' are to the 'Fox News Greatest Hits'. Weird how that goes.
I am afraid that this is, unfortunately, not how a debate works.

He might be a doctor who cures people, but that doesn't mean that's what his interest is. In fact, I'd say that on this forum that was as far from his "interest" as you could get. Oh, and speaking of "dishing it out but not being able to take it:" quit attacking me, and this goes for all of you who engage me on this level, and expecting me not to fight back. My opinions differ from yours but I'm rarely treated with the respect that you yourselves expect. Somebody wants to engage me respectfully when they disagree, then they'll get respectful responses right back. Didn't they teach that to you in the University where you got your psychology degree?
I have not used insults as arguments, Gregg. You might have taken that one comment as an insult, but it had nothing whatsoever to do with my arguments.No Jason, the issue is not being disrepectful, it's using insults as arguments which is what you've been doing for the last page or so.

That's some seriously weak baloney right there my young friend. Also, given your nationality and the mind boggling number of illegal entries from Mexico for the purposes of partaking of our glorious economic system, I find your use of the words "spread across borders" in such a self righteous tone deeply ironic![]()
Yep, and I copped to that one as being insulting and not supporting my argument. Personally, I thought I was just pointing out some really deep irony, but if that's how it's going to be, I guess that's how it's going to be. As to the rest of your comment, though, about me having nothing but insults for the last few pages, that would be incorrect, as I've already pointed out. Nice for you guys that I gave you the necessary tool to turn this into a character piece instead of having to stand behind your weird thread premise.I mean, you don't even keep up with what you say.
In America, I'm not sure there's even been a death attributable to measles in the last two calendar years. How big a problem does that make it?'People are dying needlessly' isn't a weird premise. It is a fact.
