You were shocked, shocked that I imputed to you the position of unrestricted immigration.
That’s not your position, you say.
But that’s bullshit, because the mix of your whacky system of what you think of as morals leads to no other conclusion.
“I’m not in favor of unrestricted immigration, and you can’t prove that I am, because I refuse to tell you my position.”
But whatever it is, it will destroy our society if we implement it. 
Except, of course, in reality. When “liberal” policies are implemented, society improves.
Very true. I’ve had the experience of being genuinely curious about what some forum belligerent meant by some oddly specific insult–but just letting it go because there wasn’t a good option for discovering the answer. I didn’t want to give the belligerent the public stroke of responding in the thread, but I also didn’t want them to be able to say ‘this person harassed me by sending me a pm!’
Meh.
In re the Left versus Right debates that rage: it’s very difficult to find examples of debates that are free of the Straw Man tactic (as with the ‘liberals favor unrestricted immigration’ remarks in the current thread). I doubt it’s even possible to make a list of reasons that The Right Is Bad For The Country or The Left Is Bad For The Country without at least some Straw Men sneaking in.
There are so many topics that should be taught in public schools, but surely a course in “Identifying Logical Fallacies” (the informal kind) would benefit democracies more than almost any other potential field of study.
Please don;t use this term. People who breath thru their moth do not do so due to lack of intelligence, but rather a medical issue. Nor do people who breath thru their moth even* appear* to be stupid.
Palestine can end Israel’s “occupation” anytime it wants, by simply recognizing Israel has a right to exist, that Jews are people too, and by sitting down at a sincere table. They can end the deaths of thousands of Palestinians by simply not killing that one Israeli in a act of terrorism.
I have no sympathy for them, as they can end it anytime they want. But they dont want to, as their leadership is composed of Terrorists not statesmen or politicians, Terrorists who know they will lose power the day the conflict ends and thus want to perpetuated the killing indefinitely to keep that power to themselves, terrorists that dont give a rats-ass about their own people and constituents - just their own personal aggrandizement.
Sure, like the current GOP House is sooo into “compromise”.:rolleyes:
I disagree. Before I ever heard the term, I noticed that my neighbor and his sister would sit gape-mouthed while watching tv, and they were fucking stupid. Not for nothing, he’s a huge tea partier now.
I was thinking more along the lines of how “compromising” the U.S. Senate is under the Democrat Party leadership of Hairy Reid.
I think that this is the breakthrough we were looking for. The nexus of agreement that Bricker and the liberals (except DrDeth ) can build upon to fashion a détente the likes of which have not been seen since Reagan and Gorbachev agreed that the Whopper truly is the king of burgers.
Some people have narrowed nasal passages that make it very difficult to breathe through the nose. It can be a born condition.
I dunno…moth breathing is a gateway to hornet swallowing.
“Gateway” generally refers to something that is likely to be repeated.
First hornet’s free, I understand.
Bad business model since it always brings friends.
Death, where is thy sting?
Oh, right there. Gotcha. Carry on.
Once you add the word “potentially,” it is almost tautologically true.
The worship of Moloch – where children are sacrificed in fire – is one possible form of exposure to organized religion, and it is certainly more harmful to a kid than reading Oglaf.
This is serious business, folks. The future of our Republic depends on it!!
Can we allow RTFirefly Morality be the guiding light of our future? Or, can Bricker provide a more solid foundation?
“Solid”, sure. “Level”? Well, needs work.
As an anal gangbang of Bricker, this thread is made of fail. My anarcho-nihilist politics are in opposition to his, but I can’t side with his opponents in thisthread for they all seem to have a shared desire to lace up their cleats and tap danceall over their pee-pee’s.
