ALTRAV,

At least you've admitted that I am wasting my time
in trying to have a dialogue with you. That's
something. Perhaps something will sink in and
you'll stop being so predaceous.

Foxy, I feel quite good about being called predaceous.
I accept the title, as if a badge of honour.
It asserts me as a man.
Where the modern 'man' of today would be better described as effeminate, amongst other things, you have in fact finally confirmed just one account of why men and women are NOT equal.
And why I am proud to be a MAN!
Thank you Foxy

ALTRAV,

I could tell you that -

Acting like a dick
won't make yours any bigger.

But that would be inappropriate, so I won't.

However -
I'm a female
FE = Iron
Male = Man

Therefore,
I am Iron Man!

Touche', not bad, now let me see, give me a sec' while I conjure up a come-back.............................................................
Ah, got it, Ok Fe, I'll accept as iron, but hmmm, not sure about 'male'.
I'd have to challenge that one on the basis that 'male' is still 'male' unless, like Fe being short for Ferrous or iron, where-as male could be argued is still male, which would therefore make it 'Iron-male'.
Maybe? Yes? No?
Ahh it was worth a try.

ALTRAV,

Good try.

Which proves my belief that most of us don't
really have closed or open minds - I like
to think that most of us - have minds with
openable windows.

Hi Tristan Ewins,
I'm going to say it again, I think all your agruments are flawed.

I also think you lack the ability to even argue based on merit the reasons why you support socialism and the left.

I think this shows a greater problem in universities; - that because you lack the ability to argue on merit what it is that you stand for;

- That you've never really faced having your beliefs challenged and tested on their own merits.

And that make me think that Universities therefere are not a place where you go to learn things and expand your mind;

- But are instead a sick cancerous echo chamber of like-minded lunatics.

And honestly I'm offended.
Many people here are older Australians, and many did not have the opportunity to have a University education in air-con paid for as part of the 'social wage'.
And these people contributed the taxes towards your education despite the fact that they could never enjoy that same benefit for themselves.

You got a benefit many here didn't;
I want you to explain to all of us, how the taxes WE paid to fund your education;
effectively HOW OUR INVESTMENT IN YOU IS PAYING A RETURN.

I mean after all you're proposing a completely different political ideology than what currently exists;
- It's right there on your blog - COMRADE

Our investment in you;
Can you not explain why you think your beliefs are better than what currently exists?

If you can't, then our investment in you was wasted.
Is that not logical and reasonable?

You made a logical argument about 'mansplaining' so I'm assuming you do have the ability to reason.

And by the way, Guy Standing is a proponent of UBI - the same as Richard Cloward and Francis Piven.

- I'm saying there's better ways than your socialist ideology and that your arguments are flawed, - and you need to answer these flaws to prove your ideology is superior to other ideologies.

That's how real progress works.
