You're not being entirely accurate here. Often the third party is referenced to provide expert testimony.

The problem is that often yours, mine, or most anyone else's reasoning on this board is completely irrelevant. My reasoning on whether the LHC presents a significant threat or not is meaningless. I do not have the qualifications to opine on that topic. The best I can do is cite the commentary of physicists working on the project. It is not only a completely valid way to argue, but is honestly the only way we could have a meaningful discussion on the topic.

Many discussions had in the Asylum are basically a battle of expert testimony. Each side presents witnesses, and the opposing side questions the validity of the witnesses' testimony.

Hahahhhahhahhaaa. Sometimes I can't figure out if a really bad troll, or you truly believe what you type.

You believe you are a complete expert on every subject ever posted on here, and are always right.

Pass what you are smoking.

Well only a soulless and totally evil person who glorifies work as an end in itself instead of a necessary means to the ends of current living wouldn't answer that way, so yes, I expected that.



That says much more about you than about me.



If we want to make wild and untrained psychological evaluations of each other, I'll engage in speculation and posit that you feel the need to intuit a devious motive in any question that I've asked you, ever, because you have a deep inability to trust other people, which would grant a ton of legitimacy and consistency to most of the points you talk about concerning government.

That is, I would say something like that if I was to engage in baseless and untrained speculation.

Otherwise, you can translate a rhetorical question into a declarative statement like anyone else and read it as, "Government and personal economics are not the same, for many reasons, and this is why we have entirely different ways of thinking about them. Whereas a person must save and invest so he can participate in local economics, a government has no such obligation, because the concepts of money and value are even more transparent and meaningless than they already were."

To be fair, I wasn't around for that. And if I was, it would have been the same situation as now, where I fell asleep at the beginning of his post and woke up somewhere in Smash's.

I'll revise that statement to "finally, relatively concisely, admits."

that's a pretty bold statement that you're not willing to back up. I'll counter it with my own unproven musings. I think enough of those caught in generational poverty have found there way out, exclusively due to 'entitlements' to offset all those you claim have ended up in generational poverty because of entitlements.

Ya. Big govt programs have worked so well right?

SSI is in debt and so is medicare. Not just a little, but to the tune of trillions.

Is this what you are relying on for your medical future?
