My opinion about this matter has not been expressed in writing in this thread. If you search around, you'll find that I have, however, shared those feelings. In fact, I shared them in direct reply to you in another thread and you chose to ignore them.

Instead, I spoke only of your awful writing. You may fancy yourself to be an adept, intelligent debater, but it's apparent that you are not. Your arguments, thus far, are peppered with childish remarks and irrelevant complaints that stem from your own inability to clearly and concisely defend yourself.

Honestly, I don't care enough about you or your opinion on this matter to enter into a debate about it. As far as I am concerned, and making judgement based upon your behavior on these forums, I consider you to be a self-righteous, arrogant, sad person. If other people wish to continue to engage you, that is their prerogative. However, the least you can do is make a better effort at appreciating the effort they put into their arguments, as well as putting in a little yourself. When you can show that you've intelligently considered your position by writing in a collected, coherent, persuasive manner, perhaps you'll change some of our opinions.

That is what you're trying to do, after all? Surely, you wouldn't do this to stroke your ego, right?

Well, you've got me mostly pegged. Although I apologize, I meant someone else, and your name came to mind (not entirely sure why, as your argument had only been partially said by someone else--porper person now cited).
And no, I don't put as much effort as I could into my arguments. I'm not exactly writing an English essay here--I get enough of that. And yes, if you'll note, I made a clear distinction between sacrifice and risk. Twice. Then emphasized it the third.

Okay let me get this straight, Risking your life is okay, but in doing so he/she dies, that would become a sacrafice, and that person in your eyes becomes moronic, <sarcasam>nice!!!!!!</sarcasam>

What you need to understand, is that when someone is trying to save another person, not much is running through their heads, I dont think a fire fighter is thinking as he rushes into a buring building, Gee is this persons life really worth it, i mean i am WAY more important than this person, NO I dont think so. All that is going through the persons mind is how is he/she gonna save them.

People dont become Police Officers, EMTs or Figherfighter to just let everyone die because its moronic, They in most cases belive that Other people's lives are precious and that they are going to save them in any way possible, not just say to them... ehhhh i dont want to save you, i dont know you

I under stand that people have thier own opinion and that they have a right to that, but please don't make me seem foolish for voicing my own opinion by saying it has been said already, it is childish and doesnt need to be involved in a debate like this.

Thank Have a Nice Day I request that this Thread be closed, the chat has gotten out of hand, and if it continues i think that peoples feelings will be hurt

I would agree, for this thread has degenerated from its original point of debate into a childish feud for opinion. I vote that this thread be locked

Sounds good to me.

Everybody has gotten their 2nd & 3rd final pokes in. Any others can be taken up via email or something.
