You're right Tery, It was my question. I was asking "who pays all these lawyers?" Nothing in the question was directed to which political party used the lawyers or used them first. But, I guess a bit of paranoia set in and the meaning took to the left at the fork in the road. :bang: |

A "lawyer"!? Now I will have to get Zell on you! :laugh: Funny, Chris, but I've been thinking the same of you - I'm serious. We might "win" or "loose" the argument. In this is a certain power - maybe not in your definition of power though. Granted, I'm coming from strictly a textbook definition here. Chris said: I guess I figured those who advocate positions would remember them. Often hard to track for me - that's why I suggested you use the quote function more, as it does a nice job of showing exactly who said what. A couple times you have adamatly attributed things to me, which I didn't say. Thanks for the coaching on the logical fallacy issue. Point taken. I guess I'm assuming that others (you mostly) know what I'm refering to. Ya know, it is facinating to me regarding the issue of communicating electronically. So many of the things that we might pick up in person, or even on the telephone are lost. IMHO that is where many of these miscommunications come from. |

No one has ever won an argument on the Internet that I've ever seen. Here is what I think the Internet is about: Douglas Adams' The Four Ages of Sand. Forgive but don't forget is a motto of mine. |

So maybe it's just an illusion of power.

Where's the oxymoron? Social conservative--definitely an oxymoron. But what in what you quoted is an oxymoron? Dictionary.com: "A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined...." |

Not the most eloquent statement I have ever read, but I DID see the following a year or so ago: "Arguing on the Internet is like being in the Special Olympics - even if you win, you're still retarded."

Lawyers not getting paid - perhaps not in direct monetary ways, but perhaps in power ways (which translates to money). Lighten up - it was a lawyer joke! :tomato: |

Guess I need to give up those ideas about doing a stand-up routine.
