The listed dialogue is very satirical but you know perfectly well I do not reason like that.
If you say something in which I am in agreement, I shall tell you. I am not a psychotic interested only in conflict.
I also think you are rationalising reasons for claiming arguments are for their own sake. They have a basis of opinion and are therefore reasoned.
Reacting against them as if they are "rows" (your word) is unreasonable.

As for "where I am coming from", I am a man without party searching for a mast to which I can pin my flag. I can not say more than that because there is no more.

Sorry!

Would have made things much clearer if you'd explained it was guessing game from the beginning, Robert!

Robert Edwards

To guess at what? There is no mystery attached to anything I say.
If you tell me the world is not flat but more like a sphere, then I will agree with you.
Simple! :wink:

Sarumano

Nah.

Flat as a pancake. Rests on the back of four well-oiled elephants.

Any fule kno that.

But if I tell you there is no room for discrimination against colour you will not agree with me, strange that?

Robert Edwards

Ah! But I do not discriminate on colour. I have Arab friends of different shades of brown. It does not occur to me that colour should determine worth.
I believe the races are different, having developed that way through the centuries. You can distinguish them by DNA but you can not discriminate and say one is superior to another. Each race, each group of people, each culture has within itself a sense of its own worth and beauty.
Long may this great diversity exist ... and perish the day that we should all become one grey mess.
We should have pride in race ... ALL RACES!
Strange that?
