Fox News makes me laugh

Rancid, let me see if I can help clarify with a few specific examples.

A good example of a Straw Man argument is 6thGen?s post #12, ?As for the Falwell death announcement, he is, in effect, the founder of the Religious Right. I assume if anyone was upset about the alert, then they'd also be upset if an alert popped up for, say, Rand, Marx or FDR.?, since clearly Marx or FDR are much larger historical figures.


A good example of a Red Herring would be 6thGen?s response in Post #35, to kathydwells quote regarding greed:

?Maybe if American Indians looked to solutions other than the way of the buffalo, they'd get a handle on their people's problem of alcoholism.?, Since alcoholism was never part of the original discussion.


But my favorite flawed debating tactic is Tunnel Vision Arguments, you know like ?All arabs are violent and war-like, because every war in the mid-east has involved arabs?.? Any guesses as to who is the master of these?

For the first example, that's why I threw in Rand. I'm guessing few know who John Galt is (get it?), but Rand has been rather influential among political philosphers. For all of the hatred of the Religious Right, and the overstating of their importance by many on the left, you'd guess that when the main man behind the curtain passes, there would be some interest. I'm standing behind that one.

For the other red herring example, I wouldn' t go as far as calling it a red herring, but I've addressed my problems with the quote throughout. It was more of a comment on their own problems than anything else.

It stars out the word for an illegitimate child as well, believe me I tried to use it a couple of times.

I wasn't offended, I was just pointing that out. I'm not offended that you think I'm a bastard, either, for the record.

Oh, I see you weren't implying that some of us were "female dogs"? Oh, look, it didn't star out bastard. Guess you caught me in a lie.

Isn't that a rather nuanced response 6thGen? I thought you didn't do nuance either.

I'd say that the fact that you can't type out the word for a female dog without it being starred out sets the standard for what is considered vulgar by the owner of the site.

Funny though that snatch and coochie made it thru. Daddy-O what about bearded clam?

It would seem for someone who should appreciate the idea of "tolerance", you don't seem to have any...You actually seem quite angry...

Surely, the owner never thought that anyone would use that word, or it would have been ***** out, more than likely. I mean, who has the balls to use that P word on here? :funn:


:scratch:Who is John Galt? ;-)

Wow, Miss Kitty...When I read what that person said, I thought it was some kind of inside joke I just didn't get...My sincere apologies on behalf of that hateful person...Red

Well gosh darn and thank you for your kind words! I think it was more of an "outside" joke. ;-) Luckily, I have thick skin (fur?) and while I can just laugh it off, it was uncalled for.

Oh, I see you weren't implying that some of us were "female dogs"? Oh, look, it didn't star out bastard. Guess you caught me in a lie.

No, I was using the word as a verb when it got starred out. Momma didn't raise no fool.

I have been provoking people for years, and I'm obviously flamming.

And yet, much to my disappointment, nobody ever picks on me...........

sorry 30gay, but you are well respected and whatever you say, we listen up and love it! you are quite the little smarty pants though.

this thread is really funny. I know people who actually like and watch fox news. I've had to watch it while visiting certain family members up in Alabama. it was absolutely fascinating to say the least. truly. sometimes I tune in just for funn. tuning into certain talk shows on the radio is equally entertaining. it's reallly a blast.

It stars out the word for an illegitimate child as well, believe me I tried to use it a couple of times.

I think this should be a new sig. line for somebody!
This is great!
