   While I agree that the Usenet does not normally host "formal debates", it    
   is still considered good form to provide support to your statements when    
   asked to do so.  Put up or shut up, if you will.  However, it seems    
   obvious that you are refusing to do either one.

   Ah, ok.  Then that settles it, you were just talking out of your ass.    
   Thank you for clearing that question up for us.   
      
   Skinny people are all asshole communists trying to take over the world by    
   murdering capitalists.  Not true?  Oh, well I didn't really mean it as an    
   absolute truth...  ;)
