:doh: He's a moral absolutist, and a crappy one at that.
That is the trouble with closed minds, if you cannot question, you cannot learn. As a child, my Mother would tell me "A day passing in which you haven't learnt something is a wasted day". This is a truism, and I question everything. Ilion has read a book and thinks that is enough.

Ah, but this book is something else entirely! It's the definitive moral compass for all mankind, despite the fact that it is so vague and unintelligible that it requires special training to pretend to have authority on it. Also, much of it is antiquated and completely contrary to reality. Much like Troy's way of thinking, come to think of it. Also, one thing that needs reiterating: Troy is pro-abortion, believe it or not.

Evil is a purely subjective state: that which one culture accepts as everyday ritual may be seen as evil by another. My definition of evil (someone who frustrates others with tedious cryptic puzzles) may not be yours. :-)

Tedious? Don't do them then! :) Evil? I like confounding people, that is not Evil, merely personally satisfying!

I'm only bleating cos I don't want to do them but end up having a go. Use to do cryptic crosswords on the train but being out of practice makes a big difference! Evil: see how subjective that is? :-)

Ah, your Evil is my Good! (And keep practising the CCC's, the methodology will come back to you).

What could be more stupid than someone who posts incessant links, but when people try to discuss what was linked to, runs and hides like a scared little girl ?

How about someone who lies about things, as you are doing?
You're such a liar.

David Warren: Evil & stupidity[^]
... But without further inquiry or thought, the Carleton University Students Association bought into a proposition from one of its members, a certain Donnie Northup, that was both evil and quite superlatively ignorant. "Good intentions" do not excuse them, as their president, Brittany Smyth, has tried to argue with several media callers. Anti-white and anti-male prejudices are not well-intentioned; she should have been corrected publicly on that. And here is how Ms. Smyth dismissed the disgraceful preamble of Mr. Northup's motion, to CTV News: "It's 100 per cent their opinion. Their opinion doesn't have to be fact or anything really. It's just how this individual felt." This remark reveals an extraordinary degree of incuriosity, allied perhaps with lethargy and cowardice, on the part of the student councillors. Political correctness has numbed their brains. How has it done so? By instilling indifference to truth in their souls. ...
I read the article and seemed reasonable until I read this "Many of "Negroid" and "Mongoloid" race also suffer cystic fibrosis, if fewer proportionally. ". Ahhh, racist much and why put these words in quotes. Is he quoting someone or something? Bizarre...

Because he only knows how to Cut and Paste. (and Annoy) (and Irritate) (and How to show himself to the world for what he is, a mindless drone, a human xerox machine, endlessly reproducing others works without creating any of his own, a biased obnoxious shit filterer of the peurile outpourings of crass and banal musings, an intellectually weak and argumentally weaker bearer of unoriginal thought, a novice, a loser, a child who was undoubtedly bullied at school, a self loathing individual whose only 'life' is the sad existance he maintains for himself on websites, a friendless virgin, a sub-educated buffoon puffed with his own delusions of talent and ability, in short, a total gimboid tosser!)

You are a gutless coward, afraid to debate, incapable of original thought, doomed to be disliked on the Net and in person.

Are you really that stupid ? The thread two below this one, from memory, you started, I commented, you responded, I asked you some questions, you ignored me, voted all my posts 1, and then waited to post this new link. So, I am not lying. You start discussions then refuse to pursue them.

I am sick and tired of his constant putting up links, with copied excerpts from the link. If he's going to do that kind of shit, at least say something about it. He engages no dialogue about it what so ever. I.D. is just a sorry sack worth ignoring.
