the debate, or argument, call it what you will, on the privatization of universities has become too long drawn out. Indi thinks i am ‘bowing out after trashing Chanuka roundly for being rich and speaking.’ and you know what? he is spot on.

i AM bowing out after trashing chanuka for being rich and speaking. although my intention wasn’t to trash him because he’s rich and speaking. i wanted to knock (or try knocking) some sense into a guy who it seemed to me was vehemently delusional and snobbish. i won’t trash anyone who’s rich and speaks their mind. i have lots of friends who are rich and speak their minds, but in speaking their minds they never undermine the value of free education like chanuka did.

indi seems a smart guy, and talks a lot of sense sometimes. but none of them seem to know when something becomes old. no one seems to know that at some point in time, you can overstay your invitation. my advice to everyone involved in this debate? retire now, while everyone likes and respects you.

this is a never ending, circular argument. of course, to whatever morquendi says, indi will have the perfect retaliation. this is natural, because of the obvious clash of opinions taking place here. they are too deep into it to surrender, and they will keep clinging to the flimsiest arguments and points to bring one another down. who, at the end of the day, is right and wrong, is also subjective, depending on how you decide to look at it. you can argue about it till the cows come home boys, but it’s never going to stop, and you are never going to come to a conclusions that satisfies everyone. it will go around and around in maddening circles, because none of you will admit defeat, nor will you broaden your minds to the fact that their might be some truth in what the other is saying. such is human nature. which is why i fail to see ANY logic in chanuka’s argument. niether one of you is going to give up, or in.

i believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion. i also believe that no one reserves the right to enforce their opinions on others. i don’t want to enforce my opinion on chanuka, or indi, or anyone. so yes, i’m bowing out. i’m bowing out because to me, my opinion is right, and it doesn’t really affect me whatever anyone else thinks. i’m bowing out because i don’t want to get dragged into this, thank you very much.

for those who are interested though, i highly recommend you check out the questions left for indi by morquendi here, and also the responses that indi has come up with for all ten questions here.

although i admire both indi and morq for their persistence with the relentless arguing, and how well they’ve both held their stands unwavered, yes, i am bowing out. NOT because i agree with chanuka, or indi, but simply because this argument is not worth my time.
