Typical response from Dbl.


the guy thinks many absurd things. Of course he wants corporal punishment of children legal, which is also assault. He wants assault to be legal if someone calls him a nigger. He "wonders" if assault should be legal in cases someone is provoked by words. In words of one famous song: that boy needs therapy. He is crazy in the coconut.

Yeah, calling out gibberish for being gibberish is a thing people typically do after reading gibberish.


Your response is also typical; ignore the point I actually made and pretend the second part is all that was said. It's what dishonest people do.

thats not really any deep question any rational person even asks.


That's literally what the entire legal debate is about, and no legal expert is claiming the answer to be clear cut.


But tell use more Lucy oh great one about what qualifies as rational.


If you are brainless ape, then words can provoke you to act violently.


It really does speak to your inability to understand the world around you that you think this sentence makes sense.


"Brainless apes" cannot be provoked by words because they lack the ability to understand them in any meaningful context. That's the literal difference between us and apes. Words are how ideas are expressed, and ideas are what cause us as human beings to react emotionally. To say that words cannot get an emotional reaction out of you is to say that you lack the capacity to formulate ideas in response to them.


You turn out to be much closer to the brainless ape you paint the attacker as.

Unproved claim.

Response =\= Emotional reaction =\= formulate ideas =\= beating someone up


Try a bit harder next time.

I would love to tell you, but given that you don't believe in objective morality, there is no such thing as "rational behavior" in your playbook, so to you a violent ape is as justified as Immanuel Kant and Aristotele himself.


Of course, I would love to debate you on a lot of topics, but given your absurd positions, I wouldn't have to try very hard to win.

You're a clown. The only reason I interact with you at all is because of the lack of serious candidates to discuss issues with here.

Another example of you not understanding what words mean.

You wouldn't stand a chance and you know it.

Against you? Not much of a challenge, to be honest. Most of your responses are like ramblings of a mentally ill person. But if you are interested in formal debate, sure, I don't mind. Tho topics I debate are probably out of your intellectual range.

But should the assaulter have to worry about consequences of his own for assaulting you? Yes; DUH!

"Duh", indeed.
