And it hits much more often then any other range weapon. Post reading fail. Yay, you got the point. Get a reason to whine before whining.

Psychology means 'relating to the mind and body'. Now your trying to argue that 'you can be mentally mature without your brain being mature'. lolwat? I almost hate to break the news to you, but the only thing controlling your maturity is your brain, more specifically your frontal lobes. I'd advise doing a bit of reading on psychology, 'cause your appearing less and less informed by the minute. Because it would be wrong. Fortunately, my statement of 'wildy rants are written by children, not adults' is not, and your argument does not apply. What with all this 'yes, they can' your sounding more like Obama all the time. Too bad I never said that. Nice try, though =D>

Interdependency: When variables each influence each other to some degree. Are they influencing each other to some degree? Yes. Yay, I'm right. If this was a thread on driving test results and you had 50 years of medical studies, facts, and papers to back you up, it would indeed. Not a fact at all, my observation of the Debate Steps. A small off topic discussion within a topic. But your 'fact' had nothing whatsoever to do with it, so it was floating around. Yep. And you can be wrong. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/teenbrain/interviews/todd.html There's half a dozen examples from that interview alone. I can dig up examples of Phineas Gage for further proof. This isn't exactly a medical mystery we're dealing with here :roll:

And wikipedia (along with my article) proved that the two are interdependent, meaning you can't have one without the other. Do you know what psychological means? It's referring to the the mind and behavior. If the mind aint mature, then your not psychologically mature. Your brain, specifically your frontal lobes, control your maturity. Sorry, but wikipedia isn't lying. It makes a great point worth bringing up, namely that wilderness rants are written by immature, short sighted children. A scientifically verifiable fact, one that's relevant to the discussion. My point exactly. It didn't relate to the discussion; therefore, it was just a random fact you threw out there that had nothing whatsoever to do with anything. No need to. If "No, they can't." was the sole factor in the discussion, you would indeed be right. Fortunately, you completely failed to read the previous posts and tried to accuse one out of context quote. The 10 year old is not going to be fully mature, as he has underdeveloped frontal lobes that are directly linked to maturity, including psychological.

So your on here trolling and trying to insult people? Yeah, way to go. And the $17 has a lot to do with it. Not much else to do ATM while this computer scans. Down time at work with nothing else to do = TIF time. I enjoy debating, so who are you to flame me for it? You can say all you want about it, but unless you want to try and prove me wrong I'd advise keeping your nose out of it. Oh, and where the hell does wikiepdia come into it?

Sure. Here's the area I'm talking about, I'm not sure which post about the humiliating movie: Good call, I missed your post when I posted (too many posts!). My responses: So you think a 10 year old is as physically mature as a 30 year old? Go back and read a few of the links I pointed out. As for ageism, you can call it what you like. For that matter, I'm saying the OP is miniclipist for saying that they're worse then us. Sorry, but scientifically proven facts like a weightlifter being stronger then an infant don't really qualify for discrimination :roll: Good to know. That relates how to this debate? Both. "No, they can't" was the culmination of my argument, but the quote itself certainly wasn't the entire argument. The argument, of course, being whether or not a 10 year old was as mature as a 30 year old. You seem to be switching back and forth on this every other post =D>

Wasn't planning on it. Maybe you could point out the line where I said that? I must have overlooked it. Oh, and what happened to the argument? Are you giving up this easily, or simply typing a response? If it's the first, don't fall back on the old 'im giving up cause u wont read my posts and u make no sesnne and ur wrong!!!!' argument, it's a common one in the more abstract debates.

The quotes aren't being repeated, and 1 fact per post is going to make this beat my slayer sucks thread. Look at the above post, it's 9 separate simultaneous arguments :P Nah, the 'No, they can't' line used to be the sole focus of Zero's argument. I've advanced mine to the state of copy and paste arguments with every line backed up by previous debates, so it's slowly circling closer and closer to drawing him into the actual issue :lol: Think whirlpool effect. He's slowly being dragged closer to the swirling vortex know as The Facts, the point at which he simplifies and centers his argument against one point that is irrefutably proven wrong at the last second by me. It's the culmination of any good debate. Wow, I should make a movie.

The question before that is where the 'need' part of it popped up...

We've had tons of agreements. So far you've turned out to agree with everything I said in the first place, albeit through 'persuasive reasoning'. I'm naturally friendly, and I take it you weren't in a good mood. So I was right 8-) Except that was my whole point, so I'm not sensing the correlation.

Not an idiot, just stubborn and bull headed. No assumptions made about your intelligence 8-) Yep. Opinion arugment, so I can't prove anything, but you didn't sound friendly :ugeek: That would indeed be the point. Then again, as mentioned earlier, I've been wrong before and I openly admitted it. Nope. And if "No, they can't." was the sole factor in the discussion, you would indeed be right. Fortunately, you completely failed to read the previous posts and tried to accuse one out of context quote. he 10 year old is not going to be fully mature, as he has underdeveloped frontal lobes that are directly linked to maturity, including psychological.

It's harder to keep straight though. Say he posts 6 different points in response to my argument - do I go through them 1 at a time, or post 6 posts and get (even more) fed up with the flood control? Yeah, I know who your talking about. I thought it was pureprayer, but I guess not. Wonder what my line is...

You were a bit wordier about it then most: Quite a few other examples like "Does being thick on purpose really help your cause?", but it's convincing enough. Multiple exclamation points and capitals generally indicate strong emotions and or anger ;) Many accusations and obvious personal insults also show anger or resentment. No, really? When I'm in an argument I think I'm RIGHT? Gee, what a shocker. Next I'll be making the biased and unfair assumption that I disagree with the person I'm arguing with and even *gasp* think that he's wrong! Because you didn't quite seem to be having a party. You haven't quite reached that step, though. I'll give it a few days. Just referring to backing me up on any debate without fully understanding the issue. It's standard, but not one of the admirable traits. Keeps topics separate, avoids confusion, and prevents overlooked posts. Plus it makes that little number under my avatar look more impressive. Good. I believe I said this, oh, around the second post into this argument.

Since you edited this in, guess I'll respond to it. Yes, and I meant it. The 10 year old is not going to be fully mature, as he has underdeveloped frontal lobes that are directly linked to maturity, including psychological.

Haven't been in a serious argument with you before ;)

*ahem* THE NUMBERS LIE, I TELL YOU! THEY LIE! WHO ARE THESE MEN IN WHITE COATS?

It's developing into a pattern for any first time debater #1: Assume Comp is an idiot #2: Get really, really angry when he keeps arguing #3: Realize he's right, and hate him ever more but give up the argument #4: Slowly realize he was just arguing for fun and wasn't out to get you #5: Treat him as a friend, following him around and making remarks on threads he's debating on At least, that's for relatively mature players. Totally immature players go through #3, then leave TIF forever upon realizing I'm not going to take crap from them. I'm trying to get this down to a science. I love debating :thumbsup:

I wish I had a running counter of arguments won\lost. I only keep track of the lost. The won HAS to be in the thousands :twisted: That being said, I lost twice on a relatively major issue and once on a minor one. I don't even remember the exact debates, but I could probably find them. It's a thorn in the side of an otherwise perfect argument :|

Fastest way to settle it. Would you rather it was 2 pages of 40 posts with 6 issues each, or 12 pages of 240 posts with 1 issue each ;) That being said, the discussion on the first post expired between one and two minutes after it was posted. Since then I've been hard at work looking for anything to argue with in the responses. Behold, the results! (Also, I thought it was pureprayer who said that. Was it really you? :? )

Yeah, 'cause it's only more accurate then the Encyclopedia Britannica. Tight moderation and credentials work wonders.

I'm afraid quite a few different studies dispute your findings. Source please? I'll start off with http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v438/n7070/full/438900a.html That being said, I'm assuming it's *probably* more accurate then either a 32 year old computer consultant or an 18 year old with no outstanding intelligence characteristics.

I'm making $17 an hour right now. What's your excuse?

In the words of a sometimes-wise TIFer, my least favorite mythical creature is the troll.

We did, and we *thought* both agreed it was possible. I'm not sure what your position is on it, so I take it you think differently then I thought? I'm waiting. Already pointed out the spot where you gave up yours, and to my knowledge I haven't dropped an argument yet. Point it out and I'll gladly resume it, I'm positive I haven't been proven wrong on a single statement yet. Of course. Can all kids always think carefully about everything? 'Cause if not, my statement's still correct.

I dunno. Never enjoyed this so much before *points to your rank*. It's kind of addictive. Along with the fact that I can't get nailed for spamming without reporting the tip.it admins 8-)
