You can't do it, can you. I've said in the past that you would benefit from some, any, formal education in debate and logic. Sticking to the topic is the first thing you learn. "Your mother wears army boots" is not considered a great reply except by rather juvenile folks. Who hang around other folks, laughing and scratching over their cleverness.

It's important in formal debates as well as discussions with one's wife or husband to discuss one issue at a time. Wandering all over the map is considered worse than bad form, it's considered bad faith and evidence of thinking problems.

There may be online courses you could attempt, TB, and I think that maybe you aren't able to see the issue, let alone have any interest in correcting it.

A shame, because you have potential.
