Well, sir, my hat goes off to you for defending your opinion, and with some well thought out conjecture. While I still find numerous faults with your stance, I can accept it as your belief.

Kudos, few people stick to their beliefs, most merely change stance and fragment their ideology.

I thank you, dear sir. You are a scholar and a gentleman.
There truthfully aren't many people who I've had this conversation with who haven't resorted to name-calling or shouting to try and convince me that I am either wrong, stupid, or crazy. I admit that I may be wrong, or crazy, but stupid I am not, and it is nice to have a philosophical conversation of higher level than "Am not!" "Are too!".
Thank you for considering what I had to say with an open(or at least non-judgemental) mind.

Agreed, proper rhetoric is hard to come by. This conversation would be a flame-war on any forum other than Bonneville Club.

I enjoyed reading this stuff, and I'm glad we keep things very mature around here. As Ryan said, a lot of what we talked about would turn in to a serious heated discussion on many other forums on the net.

I couldn't agree more. I'm very glad to be a part of such a community.

*joins hands and sings* :P

Kumbaya, my Lord, Kumbaya...

So much for the maturity theory!

*sniff* I love you guys!!!
