You have no debating skill whatsoever. NEVER use a "how would you feel?" example, because what you're really asking him to do is put aside reason in favor of emotion. > As for the masterbating thing, if you have to use this against your > opponents, you have already lost, because that is childish and I can tell > you are most likely a child.

Also, it's just plain ignorant to call him childish, because the fact is, children are more reverent to the law then anyone else. True, they misbehave sometimes, but never in the name of anarchy; they will always believe that the law is the "right" thing to do, even if they don't do it. And so, it takes a VERY mature person to look the law in the face and scream, "Hey! You're just a human like me! Why should I care what you say?" Go read some J.D. Salinger before you start calling anarchy childish.
