I am what I am - not trying to be something else. I'm an honest person, trying hard to analyze intellectual problems in a sincere and passionate way. Now please shut up. I won't respond to your senseless replies any longer.

Ok. Does anyone want to refute any of my points? Because i have typed a lot of arguments up here and not one has been even touched. I'll consider the argument won in my favor then.
