Stop spamming this shit

I'd rather have him spam nonsense than constantly complain about something

It's against the rules though!

Using anecdotal evidence to generalize about all men and women is against the rules?

Nobody mentioned spanish or journalism (and in any case, I doubt you can prove either of those claims, at least if by Spanish you mean Spanish literature or linguistics, not just learning how to speak). You are arguing in bad faith by consistently ignoring my questions and coming up with false comparisons, as well as changing your claims when I challenge their veracity.

I don't care for your statements, show me arguments and facts backing them up. If you can't, then just shut up.

I bet she was a failed comedian who gets paid a lot of money to tell jokes that don't make you laugh. Hard to tell a decent joke with sand in your teeth.

Umeo:

Could you PLEASE waste hours and days of your life trying to answer my dozens of bad-faith questions which I already know the answers to?

If you don't respond to me, you admit you're in the wrong. If you do respond to me, the discussion never ends.

Oh, you don't want to continue the discussion? Haha, I guess I win again. Next time don't make a claim if you're not ready to prove it, bucko :)


Yeah, okay, pal.

Typical. How is it bad faith to ask you to clarify the meaning of cognitive load? Especially since you claim it's not related to being more intelligent. Why do you post on a forum anyways if you're bot willing to engage in debate? You know it's a discussion platform, right? If you want to preach, find a church or write a newspaper column.

It's always the same with you as well haha. There's like 10 other threads in which you continuously refuse to answer the questions that matter and rely on strawmen in order to distract from that.

Lejend: bunch of unsubstantiated claims
Umeu: explain it and prove it
Lejend: why you ask questions?
Umeu: just answer the questions?
Lejend: you act in bad faith!
Umeu: just answer the questions...
Lejend: Here are memes because i'm such an honest debater!

In all this time you're looking for memes and failing at trying to be funny, you could've answered my questions, twice. So much for wasting hours and hours. I guess you can't handle the cognitive load...

I can ignore him without that np, but I don't want him to get away with spreading his crap all over this wall without some resistance.

The resistance seems to be working quite well

@Riotcoke
I know we see things differently, and you hold up Milton Freedman as some kind of guru.
I will post this video, where one of my favorite economy professor Richard Wolff is interviewed. He has the fortune of looking back on history, and how the "Freedman" doctrine that fueled the neoliberalism of Reagen and Thatcher, that resulted in the catastrophic inequality we have today. I mean, the inequality was a serious problem back then, but the Freedman doctrine was to get even more greedy, and then the trickle-down from the stinking rich, would benefit us all. Today, we know better (don't we?)
