@igm,
I don't hate you, i just despise you as a pious fraud, much like your hero the Dalai Lama. I certainly don't hate Buddhists, i just despise pious frauds. According to the CIA world factbook, 69.1% of the population of Sri Lanka are Buddhists, and just over 7% of them are Hindus. The same source reports over 8% of the population as being Tamil . . . hmmm . . . there's a problem with your numbers, there, Bubba.
I have never accused Spade of "not debating up to [my] standards." Either quote me as saying that, or reveal that you are a liar. I have no idea of what this little bit of incoherence is supposed to mean:
Quote:If you want to call someone a pig then don't call others to account when they voice their views and you accuse people like spade of not debating 'up to your standards' what a piece of work you are . . .
You've got an "if clause" there, which implies a condition, and yet you don't provide the condition. Why would you expect me to call others to account when they express their views? As it happens, if someone expresses a view which i consider questionable, i usually do ask for an explanation, or point out any fallacy i see.
What a piece of work you are.
