into my seeding of the discussion. What you claim I have done in this post is ad hominem in the least. Use simple logical reading skills and you will see what I have written is for discussion. Reading your anger toward the subject into my post only reduces the validity of your position(s), so you can quit with the, "your mother wears army boots" reply.

Please disagree and we can have a proper discussion. I left plenty of loopholes to make it interesting; possibly even thought provoking... If you want to kick the wall, go kick a wall. Since I have to spell it out for clarity, I agree with the post and most points made in the replies to the post.
