You suck at this. Let me help. (nothing left out .. it's all there and in order)
Starting with your first post in this thread (or at least recently).
You have since edited this one, but ...
My response to your's above.
Your response: "You do not discuss the topic, but instead resort to calling me names in order to degrade my reputation and undermine my position." "No, this is totally different than what you said earlier." "Again, you are changing things around, saying I said things totally different from what i said."

It's not name calling. It's merely applying appropriate adjectives.
Neither one of us can be 'wrong' generally speaking, because the debate (at least as I understand it) is whether being charitable is a good thing. Whether more good is done through charities, than bad. I support that more good is done and, as I understand it, you feel more harm is done.
Is there a way to quantify who is wrong or right? I only find it amusing that you think the world would be better off without charity. I assume you feel the reverse is true of me.
Done with this silliness.

That's it, that's the only thing?
That is just a difference of opinion (with your opinion being one you denied having at first, and one admittedly based on blind faith, and by implication without any weighing of evidence.)
Where are all the incorrect or incoherent or delirious statements I made?
So everything else I said is valid?

PKM, honestly, your whole argument is merely conjecture.
You don't get it, do you?
Where is the argument? This whole thing has been about my personal feeling that charity can do good work .. and does, though not always (and never said it always did). I then sinced immense negativity from northeast, not toward me, but toward being charitable.
northeast, you claim my feeling that charity can be good thing is merely blind faith. Are you suggesting that charities create more harm than good is based upon empirical data?

You have got to be the whiniest poster on this forum. You should just go ahead and report me for calling you crusty, hater, incoherent, delirious and get it over with ... assuming you haven't already.

This was a neg rep I got from northeast a few weeks back.
Hack.
Hack.
Since you ask, I do suggest that people are predisposed to thinking that charities are good , without thinking much about the full ramifications of having them, both good and bad. I think that the tax benefits afforded to charities generally do more harm than good.
good lawdy mama Archie moses, I positive repped you to even that up, just so you wouldn't cry anymore , but there you go again. jeeeeeeze. Plus i apologized, and explained I was just joking.

Is that based on the notion that taxing things makes things better in and of itself? I don't really understand what harm you think not taxing something has, unless you are opposed to what the charity does with the extra money.
