The roach on our left may be right, or he may really be a jerk. Unless we know what the argument is about and what the relevant facts are, we can’t tell.
There’s an underlying theme here that suggests that if my argument sounds the same as yours to an observer who really doesn’t know what’s going on, then they’re just as valid. But that’s not so. Facts matter.
But you know the old adage: If you say a lie and keep repeating that lie it will eventually become the truth. There’s still people out there who think global warming doesn’t exist despite the evidence to the contrary.
^ good close, Briscoe. (When I first read your toon, I took a moment to try to think if I sounded like that sometimes. I lose patience with people who are slow on the draw, so to speak, while aware that on some issues, I’m probably slow on the draw too.)
Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can’t go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
Think of what you’re saying.
You can get it wrong and still you think that it’s all right.
Think of what I’m saying,
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody’s help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I’m not so self assured,
Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Although your mind’s opaque Try thinking more if just for your own sake The future still looks good And you’ve got time to rectify All the things that you should
Do what you want to do And go where you’re going to Think for yourself ’Cause I won’t be there with you

I applaud you on your first comment, comYics. Well done, you sly bastard. But know this. I will do whatever it takes to destroy you.

comYics people who stay up all night just to get “first posts” are sick no life juveniles. Especially when they brag about it.

Hey! I resemble that remark!
(not Oldle’s, well maybe that one too… but I don’t see the point of commenting on the comment just because it was first)

GaryK, “Facts matter.” Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes and yes!
Isn’t it amazing these days that so many folks discount even indisputable facts.

Oh, you people. If you could grasp the subtle complexities of my cartoon, you’d see things differently. : )

Right, cdward. We’ll all get along very well as soon as you come around to my way of thinking.

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help
Help! I feel a sing-along coming on!

Although your mind’s opaque
Try thinking more if just for your own sake
The future still looks good
And you’ve got time to rectify
All the things that you should
Do what you want to do
And go where you’re going to
Think for yourself
’Cause I won’t be there with you

yes, even our favorite neocons can recite a beetles tune.
churchillwasright said, about 1 month ago
So go away, leave me alone, don’t bother me.
