Now we just need to figure out why you can't win a debate on the substance, when your entire career is supposed to be about doing just that
Wrong sir.

Science is about winning a debate on substance. Lawyering is about just winning.

Hodj said dumb shit in this thread, why attack him instead of the message? Weak sauce.
Because they lost on the substance like....7 pages ago.

Anyway, it seems silly to keep saying I'm an undergrad when I have already completed one bachelor's degree.

Otherwise UK needs to start charging me undergrad rates for my classes again.

You might have a point there.

I dont know if they lost. Anthropology being the glue that connects everything is pants on head retarded in my opinion but focusing on your choice of studies instead of the actual message is even worse.

I'd say I feel bad for your clients but nah.

They get the product that they pay for.
Funny, the millions of dollars my clients get make them quite happy.

And you refused to address the actual substance of the issue, and instead wanted to post links to the UN? Pardon if I do not engage in 28 pages of back and forth nonsense with you when you can't state a point in less than 8 paragraphs with 2 cut and pasted unrelated articles.

Sorry if I can't summarize my thoughts in 140 characters or less for your convenience. If that's what you need I suggestTwitter

Their goal isn't to make cogent points. Their goal is to goad me into another Kentucky thread.

The fact that they still haven't figured out the Kentucky thread was a joke and an excuse to break away from something that was distracting me from more important things at the time does them no credit.

See, like Tanoomba, you just want to spew enough bullshit that whomever is talking to you will stop, so you can claim victory. Just like him, you claim to have "rebutted my arguments in totality" and if I don't respond with another multiquote war, then I "lose."

The issue is really simple, and one you STILL haven't addressed at all: What makes your ethical guidelines apply to researchers in China?

Do you think the cruel and unusual punishment standards we have in the US apply in China? Do you think the abortion laws and ethics we have in the US apply in China? What makes you think research ethics apply in China? Why don't the Chinese get to make up their own fucking minds about what they're going to do?

I'm sorry my answer to you would exceed 140 characters, and that makes you too confused, so I'm incapable of continuing this debate with you for that reason.

Says the guy who couldn't win on the substance, and had to cry about me being made a moderator as a result.

Laughing about someone as dumb and unstable as you being made a mod in no way implies me crying about it. I surely wouldn't have made you a mod.

So complain to Tuco about it in the Ask A Mod thread.

Cause complaining to me when my input wasn't asked on the decision and I'd only been back for a total of about three weeks when it happened is pretty much just completely meaningless.

Someone count and see if I passed 140 characters with this post, I don't want Cad to get confused by too many words.

You're smart to avoid the actual issue at this point I guess, if I had started off with an argument as dumb as you did, I'd try to avoid it again too. Any walking it back now will just make you look worse. Bravo, I guess.

Not sure why this is even a debate. Before Cad's patience wore thin literally everyone but Hodj agreed that Cad was correct.

Hodj returning the next week to try to claim a victory is pretty laughable.

Probably because the best argument you guys keep coming up with is a demonstrable fallacy

Argumentum ad populum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And the fact that people can't get over something that's out of my control.

For the 100th time you're completely free to unmod me at any time that you feel like doing so.

Or they could get over it. One way or the other. No skin off my back either way.

I wonder if hodj can take a step from from his dissonance to realize he is the Tanoomba of this thread.

I'm guessing not. Come on hodj, make yet another infantile THIS IS MY LAST POST post! DO IT
