Hardly. You argue well. Very well. Mostly because you are so fucking smart.
You tend to get FAR too frothy and spastic when people become especially obnoxious. You lose the people who are trying to follow along and you become only slightly more effective than Charlie Brown's teacher. You rarely acknowledge the good points people make and just charge ahead in attack mode.
All of those things make you a rather poor debater.
But you have much more important shit to say than I do... I just know it needs to be said.

wrong, rob. it typifies whats wrong with the guy. his 'intelligent camp' consists of people who agree with what he says. he is unable (however much he may erroneously claim) to see that there may be valid points of view that conflict with him. anything that is a conflict is part of whatever hes arguing against.
his is not intelligent because he doesnt want argument, he wants yes-men.
---
He is an intelligent person, because he is an intelligent person. So are you.
The fact he acts like a fucking retard is his own business / downfall / choice.
He has his moments, and THAT was one of them. Despite what some of the rather suspect retards on this site might suggest, I am not on his "team" - nor do I think he is right all the time. If he wants yes men that is unfortunate, but the only one who can safely answer that is him. I doubt it... but then again who wouldn't want minions? Who knows? Not you.
Just because he doesn't want to argue with people doesn't negate his startling intellect.
Although I agree... he definitely needs to develop some better debating skills... but so do a lot of folks.

Most of China is really really poor and I think a lot of the country is still pre-industrial farming area. I'm talking work 20 hours a day and get paid a quarter kind of poor, not white trash, or ghetto poor where you could obviously still afford a two dollar toothbrush. Dental hygiene isn't considered a high priority there. And I doubt their schools have those stupid demonstrations about the *right* way of brushing your teeth which changed every god damn year considering their schools don't even teach most of them to read. Plus they don't eat as much sugar as we do. Really, no country does.
I didn't read the rest of the post, nor do I understand the point of it.

Up until the 1850s, when the general store started stocking provisions, folks made most of their household supplies themselves, including lye soap. Three ingredients went into the making of lye soap: lard, lye, and lots of hard work.
Lard was rendered and saved for soap-making from the annual hog kill that took place at the time of the first hard frost in autumn. Lye was made from the ashes left over from the wood stoves. (Most people kept a wooden bin with a side spigot just outside the house, into which they'd dump their ashes. When it came time to make lye soap, they poured water through the ashes and siphoned off the liquid lye.) The third ingredient of lye soap had to be supplied by a pair of hard working hands.
Lye is an extremely caustic agent, so the soap makers had to be careful to have just the right concentration. Too much lye would cause the soap to burn the skin, and too little would keep the soap from hardening. An old wives' tale held that lye was at the proper strength when depositing a floating egg into the mixture revealed only its tip.
To make lye soap, lard and lye were mixed together over an open fire, and stirred for hours with a long-handled paddle. It is said that when the paddle stuck straight up, the soap was ready. Lye soap was then poured into a metal pan and allowed to dry and harden; a process that could take from two weeks to one month. After the lye soap hardened, it was cut into smaller bars for everyday use. People used lye soap to clean everything from their faces to their laundry.

but dag nab it - now you have Fels Naptha, Borox, and Arm & Hammer ripping you off, even if you make your own laundry detergent!
what to do - what to do!
I know! Make your own lye by running water through hot ashes, and combine it with the bacon grease you've been saving for the last year - that's better!

I love me a good debate. As long as there is no jumping to conclusions - back and forth with this fact vs. that is good stuff.
And after you've examined both the old powder and the new, send me the lab results and I'll look them over and say you're right.

from page 2 of the Boston Globe article:
Holthouse said P&G isn't passing along a price increase with its Tide downsizing because the new, lighter Tide still has the same number of uses. For consumers, he said, nothing has changed.
-----------------------
Look, woman, I KNOW what P&G's fucking PR guy says...but can't you see the very real possibility he might be...*GASP!*...LYING?
Just because the article quotes P&G's side of the issue doesn't mean the fucking issue is dead until someone gets a sample of both the old and new soap under a microscope or in a laundry room and does some serious testing.
This is called SCIENCE. Science is the art of understanding truth. It requires experimentation to arrive at conclusions.
Seriously...do you understand the processes required for determining truth?
Can't you read between the lines? Can ANY of you do that? Do you understand how to think critically and ask yourself appropriate questions like, "Who stands to gain?" "Who has the most to lose?" "WHo has the motive to lie?"
READ BETWEEN THE LINES, PEOPLE!
The truth isn't going to come up and bit you on the nuts...particularly if you're a female.
Open you fucking eyes and understand that people do lie from time to time, particularly people with something to lose or hide.
Do I jump to conclusions sometimes? Absolutely! But I'd pit my preconceived conclusions against any set of conclusions you could possibly draw using your intuition if this is, indeed, an accurate depiction of its powers.

Dozens of manufacturers, from Poland Spring to Frito-Lay to virtually every ice cream and tuna fish company, have used downsizing in the past to slip a price increase by their customers. It's an effective tactic because most consumers remember a product's price, not its net weight.
--------------------
See, take this paragraph you just copied and pasted...
Here they are telling you that the tactic is a purposeful way of slipping a price increase by the consumer. This is in direct opposition to what you said below. That's not "spin", honey, that's black and white REALITY.
You fucked up. Face it. ;)

What I said was - the article states that other manufacturers have done just that - meaning what you've accused Tide of doing.
Yes, they do it. It's there - in your article. The same article that says Tide ISN'T doing that.

from page 2 of the Boston Globe article:
Holthouse said P&G isn't passing along a price increase with its Tide downsizing because the new, lighter Tide still has the same number of uses. For consumers, he said, nothing has changed.
Holthouse said the new formulation increased the cleaning power of Tide's surfactants and allowed P&G to remove inert materials that previously had been included primarily to make the product easier to scoop.
The lighter Tide looks very similar to the old Tide and takes up about the same amount of space. Both boxes contain identical scoopers and have the same recommended usage amounts.

You're twisting the words and slant of the Boston Globe - but you know you're doing that.
Reformulating while not repackaging saves the consumer money while delivering better technology. The Boston Globe was refuting what you are "claiming" here - that the soap company is trying to cheat consumers. Although, further down the article it does say that there are quite a few manufacturers who have done just that.
-------------------------
Dude, you're full of shit. How can you possibly believe that after reading the article? The article is basically stating they are ripping you off "because," they say, "most customers remember the PRICE of items, not the weight."
They even came out and said that most changes such as this are heralded loudly with a new package design and ad campaign, but this is an exception! How you get from that article the bullshit you're stating above, I have no fucking clue.
I hate to assume you're an idiot who is inclined to believe a mega corporation when they say they're not trying to deceive you, but shit, you leave me little choice here, honestly.

So go on with your bad self - you've just proven that some manufacturers are trying to make money.
"With rising energy prices narrowing profit margins at most manufacturers, companies have been busy raising prices. In June, the Consumer Price Index, which tracks inflation at the retail level, rose 0.2 percent from the previous month and was up 4.3 percent compared to a year ago.
Dozens of manufacturers, from Poland Spring to Frito-Lay to virtually every ice cream and tuna fish company, have used downsizing in the past to slip a price increase by their customers. It's an effective tactic because most consumers remember a product's price, not its net weight.
Kimberly-Clark Corp., for example, is famous for its steadily shrinking Scott bathroom tissue. Scott is known for having 1,000 sheets per roll, but the sheets themselves keep getting shorter. They started out at 4.5 inches long, then shrank to 4 inches, and recently fell to 3.7 inches. The net result is a toilet paper roll that costs the same but is 30 feet shorter."

The early history and evolution of the toothbrush has its origin in the "chewingsticks" used by the Babylonians as early as 3500 BC. Ancient Greek and Roman literature even discusses primitive toothpicks that were chewed on to help clean the teeth and mouth.
As the years passed, toothpicks matured into the chew stick which was about the size of a modern pencil. One end was chewed into and became softened and brush-like while the opposite end was pointed and used as a pick to clean food and debris from between the teeth. The twigs used were carefully chosen from aromatic trees that had the ability to clean and freshen the mouth. The earliest literature showing the use of these twigs is found in Chinese literature at around 1600 BC.

Ok, Crystle, now you've crossed the line. I let you go and you went ahead and crossed it didn't you.
Shit. Why'd you have to go and do that? See, I was having such a good day too.
I gave you the fucking facts and it wasn't enough for you.
NPR did report this morning that a majority of Chinese do not brush their fucking teeth. That is not a lie and it is not misleading in any sense whatsoever. It is true. Actually, if you want to fucking nitpick, it was 57% they reported, not the 56% I reported.

as for the thing about Procter and Gamble short-changing consumers on their products, I clearly cited the Boston Globe. Since you seem so fucking ignorant you can't use google to track down the original article, I will link you to it.

"There is nothing sinister in the logo's design, let alone a hidden code that reveals the true intent of the company. P&G's "man in the moon" trademark was adopted in 1851, at a time when goods were more commonly marked with visual trademarks than with companies' names. (The ability to read was not as widespread then as it is now, so companies offering an array of consumer goods rather than just one product had strong reason to devise memorable pictoral logos for their wares.) The thirteen stars were an homage to the original thirteen colonies of the United States of America, and the man in the moon was simply a popular decorative device of the times. (Specific visual motifs often enjoy periods of enthusiastic commercial use and then sink into cultural obscurity. America in the early part of the 20th century was Egypt crazy, but few commercial designs other than the Camels cigarette pack remain to remind us of that fact.)

"This rumor is entirely false and has been harmful to the witness of the gospel as well as unfair to Procter & Gamble. A moon-star symbol was used by the company on many of its products from 1882 to 1985. In this picture, the stars stand for the thirteen original American colonies, and the drawing is a company logo and nothing more."
