There is no conversation, GotSteel. There wasn't ever going to be any, either.
Are the definitions set down in the link provided acceptable to you as definitions of your position?

Your continuation of this line is useless, thompson. Read the sentences you quoted from me and change "wasn't" to "isn't."

So after all the sniviling about the enumerated powers you never had an intention of discussing them?
Thank you for your candor.

No sniveling. I am smart enough to know when I'm being baited into an interrogation. And, I will not choose to enter into that situation.

You say you believe in A Conservative interpretation of the US Constitution. I asked you to discuss that and you brought up the enumerated powers issue and refused to tell me what you felt were the enumerated powers. Steel posted a link to them and now you are unwilling to discuss them.
If you are unwilling or unable to defend your beliefs then why post them?

Of course answering questions about your position (being interogated) would expose the absurdity of that position...I can understand your retisence to suffer the humiliation of having your position exposed for the fabrication that it is.

Proof that there really was no intent to discuss, only to interrogate.
Actually it is proof that you are unwilling or unable to defend your beliefs.

I know my limitations.

Obviously.

I also know when someone is attempting to bait me into an interrogation.



Isn't interrogation the process of discovering information that was previously unknown?
What is it about revealing your interpretation of "enumerated rights" that frightens you?

Your limitation in this is being set by me.




I know you don't want a discussion.


I keep asking you to discuss this and you are the one who refuses. Just how the fuck does that work?



You are unwilling to let it go.

Tell you what take that moronic indefensible shit off your sig line and I will quit asking you to defend it,otherwise you are shit out of luck.
If you post it you fuck-n-a better be able to defend it.


Obviously, you're trying to goad me into more than just a simple discussion.

Omfg, what in the world could be worse than simple discussion on a mother fucking mesg. board

I will not take the bait.

Lemme see that seems to translate into "I am not willing or able to defend my views"

A simple discussion is one thing, but a discussion and an interrogation are not the same. You don't want a discussion. You simply want to interrogate me and badger me. I will not take the bait. Deal with it.

Are you making a claim that hosting a pro sports franchise doesn't aid the local economy?

I'll take a piece of this.
I am a HUGE football and baseball fan (I'm hoping that rugby will catch on in the States, someday). I love the games for different reasons.
I wish every state had two teams for each sport. I really do feel bad for states like South Dakota that have no professional sports teams.
Having said that, why the bloody fuck should tax payers pay to build stadiums for which a small portion will get raped for PSLs, tickets, parking, food, and merchandise?
Fuck sports teams. They're a private business and should get no more consideration than the local print shop.

So, you, too, think that a sports franchise doesn't aid the local economy?

Please don't leave Ohio out of your list of states that need help. Rumor is that there are pro teams here, but I have yet to find one.

Sure the franchises aid the local economy. Every time the Lions play fans everywhere are forced to go out and get drunk to forget the game. Beer distributors just love them.
