Spin is getting old

[JockoJohnson]

No, that is not the correct term.

The CBD renders debate all but impossible. Take for instance this term straw man. Rather than take a few minutes to learn what it is and how it is used, you just assume that Moonbeam's post was also a straw man. Why? Why would you assume I would call out cabri's straw man if it was in response to another straw man? That would be hypocritical on my part. How are we supposed to debate anything if people refuse to make sure they even know what they are talking about?

No, that is why I questioned myself. I never assumed that it was a strawman. You assumed that I assumed that.

However, it does not negate the fact that Moonie thread craps with his CBD drivel every chance he gets. Now I see you are buying into the CBD stuff. So, we now know you are just as much of a dumbass as Moonie and we can leave it at that. No point in trying to respond to you any more.


Edit: And please tell me which logical fallacy you and Moonie are using when you decide that anyone who disagrees with you must have CBD? Is it "ad hominem", "dicto simpliciter" or "argumentum ad ignorantiam" or some other that I missed? Remember, assumption is the mother of all fuckups and you have done it twice now.

Yes, you questioned yourself instead of just looking it up. That is what I said. I didn't assume anything, you clearly stated you weren't sure what it meant.

As for the CBD stuff, he is talking about peer-reviewed studies that explain why conservatives think they way they do. Conservatives don't like to acknowledge the science behind the way they act, which is why you dismiss it as an attack instead of a statement of fact.

Please keep in mind when you are dismissing it that the same studies also describe what we call the LBD which explains why liberals think the way they do, so don't think this is a one sided attack against conservatives. We all have our issues to deal with. The difference is that as a liberal, I tend to be open to science explaining what goes on in my brain because I am not afraid to face it while conservatives tend to reject the science. They reject it because they are afraid to face who they are objectively because it is very damaging to the ego. They do this with all science that conflicts with any strongly held belief. The science must be bad because they cannot be wrong.

As for what fallacy, the fallacy is your assumption that everyone who disagrees must have the CBD. That is a straw man as well on your part. Conservatives have the CBD regardless of whether or not they agree. Moonbeams tends to point out the CBD when the subject is displaying classic CBD behavior, not just whenever someone disagrees.

Thank you for clearing it up...and I mean it. No sarcasm.

I am sort of in the middle where I agree with a good mix of liberal/conservative and don't like being labeled as one or the other.

However, back on topic...I understand the cops vs. black men issue but Ferguson was the wrong issue for the media and activists to hang their hat on. The Eric Garner or any of the other ones with video would have been a much better choice. Instead, the media and others picked this instance because it was the first big one in awhile. Twisting and contorting to try and make their point of view legitimate in this case is pathetic.
