Funny because I though this thread was started with "kitchen sink insults".I just love it when the Libs show up and are rendered so speechless by the topic that they just start tossing in kitchen sink insults.
Now you are just lying. In that particular thread I called your argument a straw man and explained why. You offered your own definition of what a straw man was. I posted a few definitions from various on line sources. Several people told you I was right and you were wrong. You asked for a truth table which is not used to determine if something is a straw man. You clearly don't understand what truth tables are and you clearly have never studied logic.Informal logic is a soft science that is not accepted unanimously as real logic, and instead as theoretical.... This might be because it is complete crap.
As to the straw man fallacy applying to formal logic?? you may need to check on that again.
I am also not a liberal, more of a moderate.
I posted the quote from another post to high light the fact that you do not feel it is necessary to validate your conclusion with relevant evidence. Everyone reading this can take that for what it is.
Whats Fonzi?
This thread should be posted in fiction not politics !!!If one reads the threads in this forum one thing becomes evident. That people on the Left are miserable.
Just about every opinion that comes from those on the Left is some form of complaint, gripe, grievance, beef or hatred.
I have seen few if any threads started by Conservatives about people they hate. But, about every other thread from the Left is about someone they hate. There are probably a dozen threads about hatred of Glenn Beck alone.
And when they are not talking about people they hate, they are bitching about how unfair life is, how corrupt our Government is and how much the World oppresses them and exploits them.
Nobody on the Left ever has anything good to say about America, American prosperity, capitalism or about society in general. Nobody on the Left talks about anything in a positive light or is able to discuss their own success. Nobody on the Left takes credit or responsibility for anything. Instead they only discuss their failures and why these failures are everyone's fault but theirs.
Almost invariably, the conversations here consist of people on the Right defending America, our prosperity, capitalism and our society in general. People on the Right typically wind up taking the positive side of just about every discussion with the Left taking the negative.
Just about everything discussed becomes an issue of the Left claiming that nobody can succeed and the Right arguing that most people can if they try hard.
I for one find it much more productive to have a positive attitude than a negative one. Perhaps the reason Liberals seem to have so much difficulty in their lives has less to do with them being oppressed and exploited and more to do with their self limiting beliefs. Misery seldom brings about happiness.
Just a little something to think about.
Your thread makes no sense...your posting is so stupid i think you might be a NARC!
I know that not a person here is going to, but look at the thread "arguing with leftist". In this thread rick is upset about always losing arguments due to the fact that his opposition asks him to actually support his conclusions with more than just vague statements like, "look all over this board"Now you are just lying. In that particular thread I called your argument a straw man and explained why. You offered your own definition of what a straw man was. I posted a few definitions from various on line sources. Several people told you I was right and you were wrong. You asked for a truth table which is not used to determine if something is a straw man. You clearly don't understand what truth tables are and you clearly have never studied logic.
If you want me to validate my statements made in the OP of this thread, I direct you to the numerous threads in this forum that demonstrate my points perfectly.
If you need the evidence sent to a lab where it can be scientifically qualified, I admit I can't do that.
pwned - double pwnedi know that not a person here is going to, but look at the thread "arguing with leftist".

sounds like you are retarded.
Are millions of jews and christians at war with america? Have buddhists been committing dozens of terror attacks on americans? No, that would be muslims. That is the difference. Man, do you really need this explained to you? Pull your head out of your ass.
millions muslims? Since your already pulling facts out of your ass you ought to pull your head out of there while you are at it!
Dont be such a bigot rick.
You're a fine one to be throwing out accusations concerning hate, Med-'O-Mao. Roughly 90% of your posts are nothing but hate. The other 10% have no concrete ideas other than how great Marxist ideology is ... even though Marxism has been proven an abject failure in every society in which it has been tried.As usual, the conservatives started a hate thread then poured fuel on the fire. This the perfect example of their agenda, divide and conquer. Throw shit at every Idea different than theirs and never, never take time to digest the opposing views to see if maybe, just maybe, there really might be some validity to them.

By the way, how come you're not posting pictures of flagged drapped coffins returning from Afganistan?
I don't think you can find one post that spews hate for universal healthcare. I don't know any conservatives who believe anyone should go without healthcare. Socialized medicine? Hate it. Public option? Hate it. Obamacare? Hate it. Universal healthcare? We should have it and I think we have it now. The problem is the cost structure.Hahaha i can't count the number of posts spewing hate for Obama or universal health care or nancy Pelosi etc, the number of hateful avitars alone could have choked a horse there for a while until I guess enough of you got tired of looking at that stuff and changed them.
And this very thread is mainly only spewing hate itself, lumping people into way overgeneralized and simplified categories and belittling their age or maturity.
Good for you man, follow the party line tactics and know your shit never stinks.
you think we have universal healthcare now? Do you smoke alot of pcp?I don't think you can find one post that spews hate for universal healthcare.
