#1. Remember; the lowest form of debate; where you know you've lost and don't want to be a good sport about it....is name-calling. I assume agnostics are above that - and more sophisticated than that.
#2.Watch this video;
Don't be like these dogs....don't be a "dog"...

I more called him out, than dissed. He was bashing in his post with misinformation and name calling. I simply pointed out his mistakes and set the record straight in a rather no-nonsense way. I did, however, (why I say I dissed him) use one of the names he used and added that it was "his word, not mine".
I don't even usually do that but used it to drive a particular point home.
I always do my best to use facts ( I do fact check), rather than passing opinion off as fact, and I don't typically resort to name calling either.
His post did get under my skin and I was ready to 'fight' but again, I would use facts.
He hasn't responded, but my post has actually opened up a really good discussion about the differences in Health care in Canada and the US.
So even though I never got my 'fight' I'm very happy I was able to start the discussion.
(edit: yes I did use the term 'jackass' here, but that here...)
@scurry ...and you are from the land that - if only it weren't so cold...I would call home myself.
Your health care is great, your fossil fuel prices are prohibitive (you have a high. tax, we have practically none - so we get more car pollution and more I.C.E. car sales)....and you just legalized Cannabis.....so you're doing what we only wish we could do.
Here's an idea; why don't you blokes buy Puerto Rico? It's a serious fixer-upper...you could then own a tropical island...wow!
@Robecology Now there's an idea!!
I keep reminding myself to keep my acid tongue resting. People get annoyed when the conversation is solely swapping insults.

Perhaps he was smart enough to realize that he was in over his head?

Perhaps, but I was kinda in the mood to take him on. Lol
And I suppose it is redundant in this context, thought might not always be the case.
