Stop it j2, you're making me blush, I've told you before to keep the gushings to PMs.

So I've opposed you ... as opposed to you having opposed me? Cute! Then you stick me with an anti-capitalist label, which is quite a laugh really as I've never, ever, said anything against capitalists or capitalism.
As to the question of who is opposing whom, I would assert that whoever shows up last in a thread is the opposer.
I would further posit that, nine times out of ten, I post before you do...that makes you the opposer.
Feel free to check it out.

I can't say I've actually kept count of the times you were 'wrong', opinions aside, but you do yourself no favours with your constant quoting of Fox News, which is always wrong, biased and with an unashamed right-wing agenda. As you rarely quote the middle ground it would be pointless arguing a middle ground agenda with you, hence the left-wing bias, as you see it.
While you're confirming my above-stated assertions, you may as well tot up the number of times I actually have quoted Fox News; you will find, I'm guessing, that it would be something less than once or twice out of every ten times I quote anything at all.

I find this the most amusing part of all, as you suggest I actually claim my opinions are not opinions at all, but 'truth'. Do you add a rider to your posts pointing out they are only opinions?
If, while you are attempting to prove my other points wrong, you count the occurrences of the phrases "I think...", or " I believe...", or even "In my opinion...", you will find my posts rife with them.
I challenge you to find, oh, let's set the bar really low...let's say, five instances where you've used any such words, in the entire archive or your posting.
So what was the point of this thread j2? Was it just a little whinge because you don't like opposing views? It seems to me that everything you accuse me of I could quite legitimately claim of you, as I'm sure you'd agree.
