Yeah, I thought so, too, but verlch apparently feels more like flinging all-caps crap around. The intent of the moderation was to keep things on-track in order to help verlch get his assertions supported (by being able to simply delete antagonistic replies), but verlch would rather shout "censorship" than take advantage of the opportunity afforded him. Just goes to show that some people won't be satisfied even when the playing field is tilted in their favor.
I'm chalking it up as another "learning experience," at least until verlch himself tells me that he's ready to get serious, in which case I can tidy up this thread, or start yet another one. |

Dave, do you think it's really worth while to start another thread or even try and fix this one? I'm convinced that all we'll ever get out of verlch is more of the same.
Indeed, it's long past reached the point that the only reason I respond to him at all and at such length is for the benefit of any others who might be interested in whatever topic he's fled from. V is a closed door with stuck hinges and a rusty lock, and nothing on the other side.
Let him come and go wherever/whenever he pleases; we'll bat him about at our leasure. Seems fair, no?

I said I would do that if verlch tells me he's ready to start getting serious. Given that his one-and-only attempt at defending 'The words "woman" and "female" derive from womens' innate subservience to men' missed the mark by not offering support for the etymology of the words being based upon an innate subservience (which wouldn't require Biblical "evidence" at all), I'm not sure that verlch can address these arguments in a direct and serious way. All he did was reiterate that he thinks the Bible is correct about women, and further dig himself into the assertion hole by implying that "modern men" get all their information from the Internet, and consider ancient texts to be wrong, always.
I say again, verlch: that isn't "debate." |

Actually, the term "missing link" is obsolete, at best, and a complete misrepresentation of evolutionary theories at worst.

I don't see it happenin', bro. The above three posts demonstrate that that. The man just ain't studyin'.
But, I promised I'd be good, so I'm leaving him, for the nonce, alone. I will mention that I and my brother were raised by a single parent, and my daughters as well, by myself. Oddly, none of us are in jail and my brother is a tenured Professor of Biology at a major university. Go figger that one, verlch.
And no, I'm not saying which U he's at. He gets enough weird shit in the mail as it is.

These questions fail to answer my questions to you, but...
1. Because the precursors to life as we know it wouldn't have fossilized, and the likelihood of finding sedimentary rock goes down the farther back in time one goes.
2. Who says we can't? There are several dozen examples of speciation occuring in the last 100 years or so.

Watch "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." And from the Word Spy:A metrosexual is a clotheshorse wrapped around a dandy fused with a narcissist. Like soccer star David Beckham, who has been known to paint his fingernails, the metrosexual is not afraid to embrace his feminine side. Why "metrosexual"? The metro- (city) prefix indicates this man's purely urban lifestyle, while the -sexual suffix comes from "homosexual," meaning that this man, although he is usually straight, embodies the heightened aesthetic sense often associated with certain types of gay men. I'd like to embrace my feminine side, but it keeps telling me it's got a headache. |

Considering that I'm
1) Male
2) Married
I don't think that will work out.
I base my opinions on real life, son. Sharing the responsibility and discussing the options gives two perspectives to each problem. I've noticed that I got better results and solutions by talking to my wife and going ahead with a solution that we both agree on.
Sounds like you have real trust issues with women. When my first marriage broke up due to infidelity, I had a hard time trusting again. That's normal. Perhaps you could use some professional counseling. |

I find this so hilariously funny.
Making up preconceptions and bogus assertions seems to be his favourite pastime. With a minimal effort he could have investigated Valiant Dancer's sex by looking at his profile, but oh no... It's much more safe and comfortable to Verlch to assume that Val was a woman.
