Quote:Eh... It's whatever. It's not the first time he's disappeared from a thread or ignored a post rather than just admitting being wrong. It's some weird kind of conservative pride I guess. Never admit you are wrong or allow your stance to be challenged. It's one of the biggest differences between conservatives and liberals. Liberals are willing to accept evidence and admit they are wrong. Conservatives' reality shatters should they do that.
Damn, you broke my bull [BLEEP] meter with that one.

Well obviously Freedom is more important to those who gain it. Also happening several hundred years before I was even born makes me not too upset over it.
Saying that with the state of your politicians, maybe you should hand over control back and enjoy a British lifestyle :thumbsup:

I'd rather live in the US, thanks.

So link me to a few threads you admit to being wrong in.
Wow, this thread was seriously derailed. Now we have to explain why we have pride for our anthem and flag to an Aussie and a bunch of lefties and once it was explained they still keep on keeping on about it? Some of you folks were, whats that phrase the young one use, triggered?
I wouldn't call pointing out the stupid hypocrisy of a particular poster who has jumped the shark a triggered event.
Though you are right, this thread has gone completely off topic of the original post. :-)
Are we all happy Lochte respected the anthem enough? Got some sensitive snowflakes around

Clearly I've touched a nerve.
I've mentioned my changed stance on guns here multiple times for one.

That's a jagibelieve phrase now.

Actually, did you ever stop to think that I "disappeared" from the thread because I have other things to do? If/when I am ever wrong I do admit it. In this case I'm not wrong about anything that I've stated. Some liberals like TAM like to use my term(s) that describe them against me... terms actually made up and used by liberals all of the time.
Regarding liberals willing to accept evidence and admit that they are wrong... I don't believe that ever happens and if it does it's extremely rare. However, that's a whole other subject.

At least you didn't try to pretend this would be the first time. The real funny part about this? You tried to call me out for the same thing (not replying quickly) and you actually ran away from that post.
I literally just gave an example of me admitting I was wrong. Sometimes you astound me with your ability to just willfully ignore words right in front of your screen.

LOL!
I admitted I was wrong directly to him in another thread I started by saying I had used hyperbolic language. And he still kept trying to make me say I was wrong, when I had already said I was wrong.
I think it's a psychological thing with him.. He get's a pre-concieved thought in his head, and then he cannot see any other words than what he's already projected onto his computer screen. It's very fascinating to watch. But also rather off putting, because it's like you're talking to someone that isn't quite fully grasping reality. He's seeing the words on the screen, but the meaning of the words are distorted into his own narrative that he's placed upon you as a poster.

Link me to some threads you've admitted you were wrong in.
"Liberals are willing to accept evidence and admit they are wrong"
......so it should be easy to link a few.

There is one right here. In this very thread. You need a link to read a post a few above this one? Or is this another example of the right needing a long form version of a thing and even then can't admit when they are wrong, proving my point again?
You know I used to think some of your ilk just pretended to be dumb to troll away. I am starting to think it's not pretending anymore.

Did you not read my post? I did say that when a liberal admits that they're wrong it's extremely rare. Your situation happens to be one of those rare occasions. Does that make you feel better?

So you're saying that you're a liberal?

You mean the one about your stance on guns?
Quote:You mean the one about your stance on guns?
Yes, I used to be the parody of the ultra left's position on guns. Conversations with people on here have convinced me I was just wrong in my thinking on the matter. I am now much more in the conservative camp on gun ownership from a rights standpoint though I still don't personally like them.

I don't need a long form. I'm just asking for a link to a thread where you admitted you were wrong. Why can't you find one?

Because there is one why right here. Why can't you read? Do you not know who to scroll up or go back a page? Do you find it that hard to internet? Your local community college probably has computer classes you could take.
