ORIGINAL: luckydawg "Right. So by that logic, the government forces me to shovel my sidewalk, wear a seatbelt, and put a smoke detector in my house on pain of death. " Thats your first statement, where you changed what I said, because that is what trolls do. "on pain of death" means the death penalty, which is not even close to what I said. " if you fight back you may be killed." Hten in post 52 you switch to" " if you fight back you may be killed." which is indeed very different Ahhhh..... so that's it. Like any expression, the phrase "on pain of" has multiple meanings - most commonly, "subject to" or "at risk of." If you're only aware of one meaning of the phrase - or if you just decided to jerk your knee and consider only that one meaning - that's not my problem. Maybe you should get out more, read some books - try to become a little more literate. It might save you from embarrassing yourself like this in future debates. quote:
ORIGINAL: luckydawg Futher more, this is a lie on your part..."You're complaining about health care reform because you say people will be forced by threat of death to pay for the health care of lazy people. And that's an absolutely stunningly ridiculous argument. " proving you are nothing but a troll....With no intellectuall integrity... And more name-calling. What are we, in 5th grade? What happened to you? You used to be a guy you could at least have a conversation with, even if you disagreed. A guy I took seriously and had a lot of respect for as a poster. I don't know what the heck I was thinking. But anyway, as to the substance of this latest hissy fit, that's exactly what you said, although not in those words. You said - quote:
failure of the bill would mean you'd actually have to pay your own way in this world as opposed to someone else being forced through the action of government fines, jail time and eventual violence to do what you should do for yourself. And, in later posts, you acknowledged that when you are speaking of "eventual violence," it includes the possibility of the government killing you for refusing to comply with the law. So I ask again - do you even understand anything that you say, or do you just blurt out whatever shit happens to be drifting through your head at any given moment and then spend the rest of the day clenching your little fists, stomping your little foot, and whining that that wasn't what you meant?
