I think we all need a release from time to time, and I wanted to have an argument. Now I could have posted in the Bible discussion forum, or simply gone to the news forum and said "Donald Trump", but I wanted this to be like a squirt gun fight, a fun spar with the singles forum.

Here are the rules:

The first rule is, of course, you do not talk about fight club.

The next rule is the use of logical fallacies and ad hominem attacks is not only tolerated, but encouraged. (keep it fun though, no one get serious up in my thread)

Last rule: I am right. Get used to it.



Now, here is our texus receptus:

I'm a sailor peg
And I've lost my leg
Climbing up the top sails
I've lost my leg!
I'm shipping up to Boston, whoa
I'm shipping up to Boston, whoa
I'm shipping up to Boston, whoa
I'm shipping off to find my wooden leg



Question for debate. Did he have a wooden leg, and lost it climbing up the topsail? Or, as I like to think,did he lose his flesh-and-blood leg by getting it caught in a rope, therefore requiring him to get a wooden leg made in Boston?

Please discuss.

I'm not exactly sure what we're fighting about in this thread, but I'm totally game for a fight.

After all, I think you just said, in not so many words, that I have a wooden leg, and that totally ticks me off. :mad:

Now I just need 4 anonymous online friends to back me up... :rolleyes:

Put up your dukes, Jim!!! :p

Well said. He obviously had a wooden leg.

*grabs a piece of wood and stands beside seoul*

It's not a leg, but it will do, right?

It looks like so far, I have Abigail and wwjd on my team.

That makes two... halfway there!!!

I'm thinking that now all I need is someone who's good at starting fires...

Oh! And someone who's an expert on the KJV... just to make this all legit, of course! :rolleyes:

Fair enough. Well wooden he have a wooden leg if he was going to Boston to look for it? "My wooden leg," he said. I'm just fishing for some boxing gloves and a mouth guard, then I'm in. Some clown cut in front of me in traffic and I need to work off this rage.:mad: I'm ready to put my life on the line in this....wait....what are we fighting about?

That's the funny thing...

I think most threads that turn into arguments go about it the exact same way.

Everyone goes to run for their boxing gloves and mouth guard... and as they're lacing up the gloves, they decide that THIS IS A FIGHT WORTHY UNTO DEATH!!!

The only problem is...

No one, not even the people in the midst of it, really know what the fight is all about anyway.

You want me to call a friend in the BDF? He would do anything for a friend, he said he would even beat the enemy with his wheelchair. ;)
