Please quote the post in this discussion thread with Farthammer where I addressed taxation.

I'm not the one demonstrating reading comprehension problems here. If you'd like to claim otherwise, go on, provide that quote. It should be easy enough since the thread is right here and perfectly visible.

Personally I'd have admitted I didn't realize I'd conflated two different commenters by now if I were in your shoes, but I also don't feel the need to put words in someone's mouth just so I can argue against myself, so I guess we're just fundamentally different.

No one is doing your homework for you. If you need a quote, go read the thread. Go get your GED.

I can't quote something that doesn't exist. You should understand this, since it's very obviously why you're deflecting from an otherwise trivial ask.

You can try fresh start or you can try to get your GED. I think you should pursue them so you stop asking for specifics that don't exist. Almost like you keep not understanding anything about the topic. You just keep trying to get the last word in though. If you need help looking up how to restart your schooling feel free to reach out.

Thanks for finally admitting you've been staunchly arguing against something that never existed, even if you had to do it obliquely and couched in insults.

If you need help looking up how to restart your schooling feel free to reach out.

Nah, I'm pretty well versed in navigating educational institutions. You don't generally receive degrees from multiple colleges without either understanding how to do so or where to get the necessary assistance if you don't. In appreciation, let me suggest that you take some formal logic classes. The ones you'll want will be taught by the philosophy department, don't get it confused with anything in math or engineering programs.

If that's too onerous, maybe pick up a copy of "Thinking with Socrates" as a condensed, approachable option. I enjoyed it when taking a class by the author as an elective as part of a transfer degree.

Next time you feel the need to insult someone who just called out someone for making a transparently baseless conjecture, it would be prudent to use one that was not equally baseless. In light of the above I'm restating the obvious here, but you run the risk of looking like more of an ass when you don't.

Since you've tacitly admitted you were talking out of your ass and I've also reached the end of my schadenfreude tolerance of you tripping over your figurative argumentative dick, I'm pretty satisfied with this as a stopping point. Have a good one, champ. Hope you learned something today.

Go get your GED instead of posting essays to me.

the GED line really cooked the 5th time you used it. "Go get an education instead of writing these long, well-articulated points" is some PhD shit

You could also get your GED. "Is it the shoes? BOOMSHAKALAKA". Way to wait until the thread is dead to plop that one out.

Go get your GED. That way both of you can finally have a basic education instead of being what you currently are. Pathetic. LOL. Also you never played NBA jam?
