You are not very smart and trying to have a discussion with you is like trying to have a discussion with a drunk person.  That is why I choose to discontinue this "discussion".  You didn't even seem to have the ability to identify simple concepts like metaphors and rhetoricial questions at times.  This whole thing was a waste of time, teacher.  I request a transfer to another class.

I'm seriously impressed you continued this discussion for so long and still kept being polite, despite dsgrue3's rude behaviour. I think you wrote the best postings in this thread.

@dsgrue3: Maybe you should pause (not really) reading Nietzsche and have a look at Schopenhauer's "The Art of being right" instead. He already pointed out why some people are becoming rude and insulting in discussions: "A last trick is to become personal, insulting, rude, as soon as you perceive that your opponent has the upper hand, and that you are going to come off worst."
