Loki, so you're proud of yourself for "winning"?
Naah, with that comment, I'm just being an ass. I don't see what I do as a win/lose proposition. You see winning a "debate" on a message board is like winning in the special olympics. At the end of the day, you're still retarded.
I don't set out to "win" anything online. I simply set out to hold a dark mirror up to others and show them the ridiculousness of the things they say. To do that, I often have to take opposite and equally ridiculous sides.
She made some whiny posts (which you called valid points vs. my 'temper tantrum'...we'll just circle back to that). In response to her whiny posts, I made some posts which shot holes in her "valid points" (such as the ludicrous acronym for "yield" which isn't a "fact" as she claimed it was.

All that happened was she showed enough class to walk away from a disagreement she saw no point in continuing.
Yes, but it takes away from the class of such an act when you've already been involved in the fracas, don't you think? They say "It takes a bigger person to walk away from a fight" yet you can't claim to be the "bigger person" if both of you already have bloody noses from throwing and taking punches, now can you?

But from what I've read here, LadiTrukDriver made some valid points and you pretty much threw a temper tantrum.
Now we circle back to this little gem. Her points were not all that valid. Some were her opinion, some were half-truths and some were out-right wrong. Even when Greedy tried to help, she only made it worse. You see, I've done a fair amount of freeway driving just today since this little 'debate' began. And not once, on ANY freeway I was on, did I see a "yield" sign on the ON-ramp. I saw at least *2* per OFF-ramp, but none on the on-ramps.
The rest of her "valid points" as you put it was her own "temper tantrum" from being a frustrated truck driver. To which I counter-pointed that stupid drivers drive ANY type of vehicle and that it does no good to whine about one and not the others (as several past threads and posts on this site have attempted to do). Also, throwing out the bit about truckers missing their families was a nice touch, or would have been, had there not been whole groups of people who go through the same shit or worse.

Of course there are people who have it worse than her in the world. That is a silly argument. And one that does not take away her right to talk about what she sees and experiences.
Of course it doesn't. Just like her posts don't take away my right to talk about what *I* have seen that is contrary to what she has seen and to point out the flaws in her logic. Ahhhh the First Amendment....ain't it grand? :)

I've just reread the whole thread, trying to find where you had made a valid point in rebuttal. Couldn't find any. Did I miss it maybe?
It would certainly seem so. However, considering your screen name, I can't say I'm surprised. Your namesake was the single most dim-witted, whiny, annoying gash on television. So, assuming you took that name for a reason, I am certainly not a bit surprised that you missed my valid points. It's likely also due to the whole "sisterhood" thing. You see a female poster arguing with a male poster and you immediately jump to her defense against me -- the big, bad man.
It's a common enough occurrence, especially in our society. I personally couldn't give a fuck....so don't let it get you down.
