When do you admit to being wrong?

[Phatscotty]

Is Glenn Beck a Community member now? Kind of a sign that the right wing media has gone a little crazy on this case? No? i mean, we're talking about a guy who was fired from Fox news, which we can accept as being right-wing, right? And he was fired for being too extreme. By Fox.

whenever you get around to it Symm...you have some admitting to do. He was not fired.

this isn't semantics, it's sophistry... he specifically went out of his way to prove he was mistaken... I challenge you to do the same

Let me get this right....He went out of his way to prove that he was wrong, in order to show that funky was wrong about him never admitting to be wrong ...................................................................It's too early in the day for this kind of shit!

No it's not.

No it's not.

Prove it.

On matters of opinion, of course, I am never wrong. Only on matters of fact from time to time.

I suppose opinions are subjective enough that one may never be wrong. I feel that my own opinions are sometimes wrong though, just today I admitted to being wrong about olives not being tasty on pizzas.

That's awesome.

Ad Hominem

If you had actually thought of it yourself it would have maybe been clever. A "me too" vote doesn't get you any more credibility Haggis.

I thought we already established that I only skim discussions you're part off.

Anyway, I guess someone already pointed out to you that ad hominem is not the same as name calling?

It can be, depends on the name.

ah, but I guarantee my clock says it's much later than your clock... therefore time in this case is subjective

Not only subjective but irrelevant.
