And last but not least...the one making the claim? Thank you internet tough guy. Your penis has grown another ten inches. You now can satisfy any woman who merely smells your cock. Your hand feeling proud about it's work?

I never said i actually beat someone up and was sent to prison for it.

I said i dish out the kind of beating that gets people sent to prison.

There is a difference.

And ghost rider, i am very happy with the 6 1/4 inches i have. Wouldn't really want another 10 added to it, as it would probably never get fully erect. Not enough blood in my body. Damn anemia.

And i made the asskicking comment in retaliation to Jay's asskicking claims. So my only fault is letting myself get brought down to his level.

From now on, i will make asskicking claims without mentioning the amount of jailtime said asskicking would incur.

Yes, twice a year.

But it's getting kinda boring, cause i haven't grown at all in the last 9 years.

But it's nice to note, i haven't shrunk any either.

The Saga of DMJay/DMJ/Jay begins here. In these threads/posts you'll find a lot of background on him. I don't know if you'll find mention of what you're looking for, but I've dealt with him before and YES he claims to be some kind of fucking war hero.

Not when they say that a Borg Cube is too big to be destroyed from a Corellian Corvette.
BTW, have they said something like this?

mmm... I don't know... I realize the canon size for the cube is 3km a side, and for the Deathstar is 800km in diameter, but the image just does't look right. I don't have any good measuring tools, but shouldn't the Deathstar look even bigger? I used a ruler and on that image it looks like only 600km. I could be mistaken of course, as I said I dont have good measuring tools.

It's hard to really compare because a good portion of the Death Star is missing from the picture.

I saved the image and tried to look at it with Paint, but its low quality might disrupt the attempt to scale everything. From what I can tell, if the Borg cube is 3km, the Death Star in that picture is about 914 kilometers across.

I got that from just scaling the solid black parts of the cube, but there were some half pixels shaded in which might account for that 114 kilometer variance.

It does look to be about right with that factored in,

A portion of the top and left side is missing, so that might be your problem.

I too feel the need to congratulate you.

As an aside, do you guys think that my arguments are well presented? I can't help but feel that I'm debating defensively. :(

Your arguements are presented fairly well enough. Certainly they are coherent enough to crush any ludicrous rebuttal Phoenix brings forth. When one has proven his arguement as valid repeatedly and has nothing left to prove, only defend, naturally you will be debating defensively.

I found it more effective to constantly project an attitude of calm contempt at my opponents, rather than become irate like DarthServo. It helps to deflect the sheer buffoonery of posters like SteveGojira and TrekkieforAsimov, since I don't care in the slightest what they think of me.

I must admit, that style of debate is rather unsettling. Even when you're wrong, calm contempt is a very effective psychological tactic. Ire has its place, too, especially for fun, but on net nanny boards your method is probably more effective because it will slip through the rules.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Every now and then, when I have time, I like to sharpen my claws by debating on a board with relatively strict rules on flaming. It's really not hard to make your disrespect for their intellectual inferiority clear without actually flaming people.
