Reply #36: Benchley's arguments run pretty much the same in every thread [View All]

[Warren DeMontague]

On flag burning, I mentioned that despicable people, even Nazis have the right to free speech- so, obviously, I'm a Nazi. Benchley put me in my place by telling me "Go hang out with your friends, the Nazis". (Now, compare that with the post above. The beauty of his arguments is, all you have to do is plug in the proper word -exchange "nazi" for "loony lefty" for "libertarian"- and, no matter the thread, you're good to go!)

Ah, all my arguments quiver and shake at the feet of such ironclad logic and insurmountable debating skills as that.

I think we should have a DU Mrbenchley debating prize. With a trophy an' everything.
