there's a difference between composing an argument and reacting to one. Rather than constantly reacting, how about compose your own counter argument instead?
I like to do line by line quotes so that people can't say I didn't address something. In order to react to an argument, at least on the internet, one would have to compose one. I mean I do retort to your comments thereby inferring that I am disseminating my composed thoughts which can be consider an "argument." Or are you referring to the fact that I am asking a lot of questioning in a manner in which you think is condescending? To that, I like to use the Socratic method. It makes people look foolish and it involves little effort because honestly with these internet discussions people are just going to blow them off anyway. I mean its not like either of you are going to present actual academic evidence to show the decreasing lifespan of pre-colonial and post-industrial Indians. Amirite?!
