Stealing the $10 from one person would prolly~ take less time than stealing $1 from all ten people, so you would be "in the wrong" for a lesser amount of time....!?
So, it kinda boils down to how wrong you wanna~ be....? 1) WRONG -or- 2) wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong
Hhhhhmmmmm...... It all looks like it is wrong to me.....

I lost interest in what you are discussing. I'm discussing something else. Nothing personal. I'm interested in the original post.

So you made that analogy for no reason?

No I had a reason. You just don't see it. Which is fine but nothing worth debating over.

Is it that I don't see it or that I noted your reasoning was erroneous? Maybe you should practice that "admitting you are wrong" thing you advocate in your "Hidden quality of debate thread" instead of making childish accusations.

I don't think I am wrong. If I did I would say so. It's not a big deal. Are you pissed about a personal slight you might have imagined?

Regardless of what you think you are obviously wrong now and refusing to admit it. And no you haven't personally wronged me-- I just don't like blatant hypocrisy.

put it in retrospect. If the 1 person had only had 20 dollars and you stole 10 from him, then it becomes worse then stealing 1 dollar from 10 people who all individually had 20 dollars.
Interesting idea but folly

I don't have a problem. I'm not calling anyone a hypocrite.

Do you not know how to read? That is me calling you a hypocrite, not me saying you called someone else a hypocrite.

I know. That was my post mentioning you were calling me hypocrite. That's why you have a problem with this and I do not. You called me a hypocrite and I called you nothing and I could care less about this non-sense.
Do you get it?

Regardless of whether you call me one you still are one. BTW you are taking way too long on the PMs.

Save your personalisms and righteous outrage for PMs.
I'm at work and cannot be at your beck and call. I'll pm you when I can.
