LINKS PLEASE!!!!

[Savor Dam]

Sage advice, Cord. Thank you.

[deer of the dawn]

Nobody got thyme for that! Haven't you read a word! Stop recycling the same lame pseudo-intellectual fallacies while creating straw men neo-con ad hominem false arguments!!

(What were we argu-- I mean, discussing?)

[Cord Hurn]

What are we argu---er, discussing? That is a good question, indeed!

I think we were concerned with pseudo-intellectual fallacies and straw man ad hominems (or "ad spudinems", as the case may be). So your statement is actually quite timely, Deer, thank you! I also like that you threw "neo-con" in there!


And now, to keep uss. happy (which is a relative term for his reactions in this thread, I'll grant you ), I provide the following unsettling link:

The instructional paper on name-calling is particularly illuminating. :p

I have to say that it is subjective opinion like this that has us in the place we're in. The lack of substantive evidence for either the specificity of the paper (e.g. 3D locators, longitude and latitude co-ordinates or even a GPS marker!!!) or the level of illumination (in lumens) leaves me aghast at the depths to which rational debate has degraded in our contemporary society. At the very least you could provide LINKS PLEASE!!!!

[Cord Hurn]

In that case, let's raise rational debate out of the depths once again! I hereby supply The Ten Commandments of Rational Debate:

Are you saying I'm fat?

No. But the lady in your link is fatuous.

[Savor Dam]

Fat, you? Oh, us...

[ussusimiel]

Fat, you? Oh, us...

I totally resent that utterly gratuitous ad hominem attack. It's typical of liberals like yourself whose positions are based on weak-kneed, bleeding-heart hyph-enated half-thought-out -isms with no basis in any principle of any sort, such as, Freedom!

And if you could PLEASE kindly provide LINKS that might in any way support your pathetic assertion!!!!

[deer of the dawn]

Which pathetic assertion are we actually diatribing here anyway?? Potato person, are you not merely throwing up sand using solipsistic logical fallacies?

“When we lose twenty pounds…we may be losing the best twenty pounds we have! We may be losing the pounds that contain our genius, our humanity, our love and honesty.”
- Woody Allen

What if the unicorn lost 20 lbs and it was just a horse?? Misplaced values, people!!

[ussusimiel]

The idea of a 20lb alicorn is just ridiculous. If you don't immediately post a LINK, I am going to call the mod in here. And when Damelon gets here you'll really be in trouble then, so there!!!

[deer of the dawn]

Here you are. Because all truth can be found on the internet. Or so certain neigh-sayers would have us believe. Not drinking that Kool-Aid!!

[ussusimiel]

Not drinking that Kool-Aid!!

Is this a political discussion forum or a place for SPAM!!!

And if it is, I'll meet your Kool-Aid and raise you GATORADE!!!

[deer of the dawn]

Are you implying that you buy into the conspiratorialist fantasy that gators were found in a raid of certain English pubs where world leaders from unnamed countries were meeting secretly off camera in camera?

This is just typical of you types, just when you are on the rhetorical and dialectical ropes you attempt to derail the discussion with an argument ad latinorum. It's pathetic and disgusting (the rhetorical device. Nothing personal of course, they're only words on a screen after all.)

Now listen, young tuber. I didn't use toilet language so don't you "ad latrine" me. If this argument is going scatological, just remember who flung poo first.

[ussusimiel]

...just remember who flung poo first.

Of couse it is typical that you would misquote your source to distract from you pathetic arguments. There is no doubt that it was Hu Flung Dung was the author, and to imply or claim that it was anyone else is a disgrace!

Have you a link to support this spurious claim? Seems to me some fact-checking would show you have been the victim of
cheap sinophobic jokes.

[ussusimiel]

Yep, that's about your level alright, when the going gets tough pull out the racism card. Here is your link (which you could have found yourself with one Google search, but of course you're much happier trying to conjure up some gotcha instead of staying on topic).

Stay classy!
