I don't actually understand what you mean. I know that my name takes two lines, why does that make the thread double spaced? Forgive my ignorance, or maybe my browser.

Not you too going on about people's names. Hoow's your pronounced? Is it ARSE?
"Mike Hunt" is really a sock puppet that i made as a joke. I intended the name to sound like that.
And we never know under which new alias you're going to rear your ugly head. - Tim Craig

Actually, e, as I've stated many times, I don't give a rat's ass whether or not you think my perspective -- or any perspective, for that matter -- is "right", nor would I ever expect you to. Given your inability to distinguish between "right" and "valid" in subjective matters, or to even acknowledge that some matters are subjective, as well as your inability to argue your points without resorting to misdirection, deliberate misinterpretation, and sophistry, I pity the person who holds any hope that they could, with anything short of a power-drill and a turkey baster, inject anything new into that hermetically sealed little mind of yours.

Vincent you are so right. Espeir does not understand the meaning of the word perspective. How can one argue with someone who lacks the intellectual capacity to even understand that the idea that it is obvious that only one perspective can be right is ludicrous. Espeir, if your reading this take a look out of your window and have a little think.

The word "perspective" isn't overly complex. It's the way someone views the world. You're being rather hypocritical in that you're expecting me to not only understand your perspective (which I probably do), but you want me to validate it. You are therefore demanding that I take your relativistic approach and abandon my absolutist approach. In other words...You want me to abandon my perspective in favor of your. That's a bit ironic considering you're chastising me for advocating my own perspective.

No, not really. You obviously don't know that "Mike Hunt" is a euphemism for "My Kunt" (replace K with C).

Your post that I was replying to contained an insult, every post you make before I insult you contains an insult, your sig contains a direct insult -- and has for days -- so I'd say that your attempt to claim any sort of moral high ground, given your behavior in this forum, is an insult to everyone's intelligence.

I insulted you? :~ "Your frustration in my unwillingness to accept your clearly flawed perspective as "right" is really pretty funny to watch." Hmmmmm...So which part was insulting? That I called your perspective flawed (which, of course, is criticism of your argument), or that I think your "frustration" is funny? Frankly, I don't see an insult in that sentence. Perhaps it's a matter of "perspective".

Espeir are you being deliberately obtuse? It's inherent to the meaning of the word perspective that their can be more than one perspective on the same thing. If you don't like relativism why do you use inherently relativistic langueage. Absolutits don't have a perspective on anything. How could they?

If you find criticism of your arguments so "insulting", perhaps the Soapbox isn't for you. That explains your defensive attitude, though.

Oh for god's sake. I'm aware of the joke concerning Mr Hunt. If AHZ isn't a euphamism for ARSE what is it? It's pronounced the same isn't it? Ok maybe the Z is a little softer.

Exactly. Perspective is merely a matter of a way to view something. The fact that I do not "accept" a given perspective only means that I do not agree with it. For example, Islamic extremists believe that I should be violently killed. Obviously I disagree with them and, given the threat that particular perspective poses me, I advocate its destruction.

An absolutist simply doesn't accept that differing perspectives are inherently right. I accept my perspective and will change it if I ever believe it's wrong. If a differing perspective becomes a threat to me and my livelyhood, I will do what I can to ensure it's demise, lest I ensure my own.

Answer the damn question. When was the last time anything was injected into yor mind? When was the lsat time you ever felt compelled to challange your preconcieved opinions? I'm just curious.

Right. Every conversation we've had -- some of them bumping up against the limit on thread depth -- has been built entirely on mutual criticism, and I obviously have no problem with that. I don't even have a problem dealing with your insults -- sometimes witty, mostly only half so -- which I typically enjoy responding to in turn. However, it seems like you have recently developed some kind of mock-sensitivity, which you're trotting out every time you lack a decent response on point. You've ended nearly every recent thread by taking offense at some real or perceived insult, and refusing to respond further. Seems like you're the one who can dish it out, but, for whatever reason, can no longer take it.

What you actually wrote was "I obviously consider all perspectives that differ from my own to be wrong. If I thought a contrary perspective to be right, then I would adopt it as my own." That's a complete misunderstanding of what perspective means. It's inherent to the meaning of the word that more than one perspective can be valid. Perspective is the angle at which you are looking at something. I meant [i]Absolute tits[/i] actually. Sorry.

The last time something was injected into my mind was 5-8 pints of lager followed by an even more indeterminate number of shorts and some rather strange smelling cigarettes. That certainly gave me a different perspective I can tell you?
