    Hmm. That would mean that you proved that every single person wearing a band is shallow.

    Somehow I doubt that.

    I did.

    Or maybe you're just being pedantic about phrases of SP33CH.

    "Who'd you go out with at the weekend?"

    "Everyone."

    "OH WELL ACTUALLY I THINK I'LL BE A SMART ARSE, THE WHOLE WHILE PRETENDING I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN, AND SAY 'SOMEHOW I DON'T THINK EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD WAS OUT WITH YOU KIEZO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111'"

    Capitals don't make you right.

    You did nothing of the sort. Your entire argument revolves around the fact that most people wearing them are doing so for shallow reasons.

    In your own words, your point ....

    I'd really like to buy a band to show what i support and believe in for my benefit. to me, im making people aware as they are bound to ask what does that band support.

    I think that people some are more likely to buy them as they feel that they are getting something for their money. its all about how they are perceived once they have the band- they think they'll be seen as a better person.
    Jus like telling everyone you donate money to charity.

    No point having one if you dont believe in the cause though.
    So not everyone who wears them is shallow, but some are. Every little helps though!!

    Nope, capitals don't make me right, but I think they get accross how frustrating it is THAT PEOPLE CAN'T UNDERSTAND MY SIMPLE POINTS, OR PICK UP ON 'IRONY'.
    You did nothing of the sort.

    I didn't for a second think you'd consider the sentence 'I did.' to be serious. Dear God, even if you were having doubts for a second, surely you'd know I wasn't serious when you realised I'd have to have proved each of the thousands, if not millions of individual people on the planet who wear the bands were shallow.
    Your entire argument revolves around the fact that most people wearing them are doing so for shallow reasons.

    Now you get it! Most people! So, care to prove me wrong?

    I do not care if you do or do not prove your opinion to be right, what I said was that I'll wait for it. If you do happen to, then I might try and disprove it, but I might not.

    It was more the principle that your opinion that everyone wearing the bands is shallow is fact that I was disagreeing with.

    I actually, seriously want to know. How is it that even after that post, you could still have any doubt in your mind that I'm talking about most people (not everyone)? Why is you still thought I meant everyone who wears the bands? Really, why?

    IS IT THAT I WAS RIGHT AND YOU'RE MISSING MY POINT? IS IT SIR?

    No, it's not.

    I understood what you were saying, I am not missing your point.

    It appears though, that somewhere amongst your ranting you missed mine.


    We'll go back to the start

    Yeah I know what your point was seeing as I disproved it last time this thread came up :/

    Now. You may now be talking about most people, but, if you really, as you said, disproved Skive's argument, you must, at some point, have proved that everyone wearing the bands is shallow.

    Either that, or you didn't disprove his argument at all, and his point is still valid.

    Of course, you could say that stuff you're saying about meaning "most" when you talk about "everyone", but that's not what Skive was saying. He was saying that Not everyone who wears them is shallow. The opposite of that is that everyone who wears them is shallow. Not some, not most, but *everyone*.

    You didn't prove that, did you?


    Now, I know that your response to this post won't just be a simple "no, you're right, I didn't prove that" but another argument based around me missing your point that you were only talking about some people, but I don't care that you're only talking about some people now, I care about what was written then.

    Well, to be fair, I don't *really* care that much about any of this, I only got involved in the thread because it looked like a fun little argument.

    Lmao :/ I'm actually laughing so hard right now its hurts. I don't know how to make you see YOU'RE MISSING MY POINT without repeating everything I said aaall over again (check the other thread, I really hate that).

    Right. You said I didn't prove him wrong. I said "I did." the sentence "I did." was not meant in any way to be serious. I have already addressed this point in the last page (I'm not trying to be patronising, but please do try to pay attention. This is getting really frustrating having to repeat myself over and over just because you fail to understand).

    If you still think I'm missing your point, please read that a few more times. Please :/ I really can't be arsed repeating it yet again just because you don't get it.

    Also, as previously mentioned, I was always talking about most people. The term 'everyone' is a somewhat exaggerated phrase of speach - everyone knows that! (LOL SEE WHAT I DID THERE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!111OENEEPOEENEI)
    Either that, or you didn't disprove his argument at all, and his point is still valid.

    Dear God WE KNOW THAT. I couldn't possibly have disproved his argument unless I personally conducted a survey gave everyone on the entire planet who wears these bands a polygraph test. What I said WAS MY OPINION, what don't you understand about that?
    Now, I know that your response to this post won't just be a simple "no, you're right, I didn't prove that" but another argument based around me missing your point

    I like how you try to discredit and disguise the fact you are actually missing my point by doing that comical prediction thing. It's great. Think for a second, IS IT POSSIBLE THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY MISSING IT?
    but I don't care that you're only talking about some people now, I care about what was written then.

    I was always talking about most people. Honestly, how many times do I need to say that before you understand? What is so hard about it? What was written then was A PHRASE OF SPEACH. You've heard of them, right?

    Kiezo kicking off again about these bands...dear dear - have your say then let it rest... :rolleyes: Maturity lads and lasses...

    Promoting awareness, think it's a nice idea :)

    My friend was wearing a grubby, mucky white band. I asked him what it was about, he started telling me about poverty in certain countries and how the band was when he donated and learnt loadsa information about countries debt and stuff. Admittedly he did think that us all wearing them would somehow abolish world poverty and how if enough supporters wear them we might persuade this country to drop what other countries owe us. A nice idea from a sweet, simple lad. Had he not worn it , I wouldn't have asked and wouldn't know what I know now so to me, it served a purpose. It may not make a huge difference but still, it made me more aware of a lesser known charity.

    Malt xxx :)

    I have that one :p Except it's not grubby and mucky, it's shiny white as I only bought it today. I did tell one person about it, but it was one person who said "oh that's another band I can add to my collection".

    *sigh*

    you said you proved his point wrong. so unless everyone who wears them is doing it for shallow reasons then you are wrong.

    because even if MOST people wear them for shallow reasons, that still means NOT EVERYONE is doing it for shallow reasons.

    not that i expect you to admit that you're wrong either.

    Don't worry about it. Apparently he never said that. Or he was joking. Or that wasn't his point. Or something.
