This is my post. It's obviously primarily about racism and brutality. But again, you seem to be here just to complain about property loss. Got anythin...
Pointing out that some bad things have been done by the protesters is fine as far as it goes. But I presume if police were torturing members of your c...
That sums it up for me and why most of the objections to what's happening are ill-founded. In a situation where there is no justice, there can be no l...
Ah, no, I can imagine the level of intrigue necessary for imagining it's not true in the US today though. It simply means institutional racism, such a...
You can focus on the 'systemic' part if you like. There is no other country in the developed world, for example, where a minority are routinely brutal...
What would really get results is hitting big corporate donors, so they might buy some better politicians. In what way is another question. Anyway, yes...
It was not only murder in the second degree, Floyd was tortured to death in what must be considered a hate crime. The third-degree murder charge is a ...
You're allowed to insult politicians and other public figures, obviously. So, no, it doesn't violate any forum guidelines. That should be clear from r...
Banned @"Syamsu" for his insisting on posting about creationism. Pseudoscience is not welcome here. So, if you are of that persuasion, please keep it ...
Well, peacefully appealing to the moral sentiments of the ruling aristocracy who have made America a systematically racist shithole clearly isn't goin...
If you were any more full of shit, we could give you an enema and stick you in a matchbox. Damn right you needed to apologize. Don't try to pull that ...
It's a fact that minorities have been affected more by COVID. And being affected by COVID has nothing to do with others' expectations of you. It's not...
It's been admitted the arrest was wrong you silly people. "Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has apologized for the "totally unacceptable" arrest of a CNN journ...
They identified themselves. ... Watch now as the liberty freaks embrace authoritarianism and abuse of first amendment rights while even the governor h...
In the post in question, you appealed to the authority of this organization in support of the idea that the lockdown causes more harm than good. There...
I think I've more or less dealt with this, justified suspicion is not enough to refute the claim, but it is enough to dismiss the appeal to authority ...
On the positive side, some interesting conversation here. On the negative side, Hanny is probably ecstatic we've spent so much time on his brain fart....
It wasn't just one bad call, the dudes are a nutty right-wing cult pontificating on a political issue that largely breaks down on right vs left-wing l...
Yeah, thanks, probably the main take away here is just that accusations of an ad hom fallacy (or even, conversely, an argument from authority fallacy)...
Well, I guess I could live with senile creepy Yoda as long as he is given constant access to a teleprompter and stays away from my sister. Anyhow, Tru...
Many of us on both sides of the argument, including me, @"benkei", @"fdrake", @"Isaac" and more have been using data and evidence since the beginning....
On the positive side, we're only arguing over who/what constitutes a legitimate authority here and have got past the "You questioned the legitimacy of...
Without a legitimate appeal to authority or any reliable data or stats that meaningfully compare the damage that an immediate release of the lockdown ...
I've asked my doctor and he denies all knowledge of inventing Drapetomania, whatever the fuck that is. Of course, he might be one of the lizard people...
We can continue to argue about the reliability of the source but it doesn't make what I said an ad hom either way because I'm not claiming the argumen...
Anyway, this is off topic, if you want to argue about sources, do it here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/8368/ad-hom-vs-appeal-to-authorit...
Who says? Source? By your own logic, questioning Wikipedia's reliability is an ad hom. So, how do you escape the contradiction you've trapped yourself...
Another simple way of putting this is that you were attempting an argument from authority, which can't work unless the authority is reliable. "An argu...
When you present a claim as credible based on an authority, you implicitly make the claim that the authority is credible. If the authority is found no...
I'm pretty sure @"Hanover" knows quoting an organization who are known to spread psuedoscience to advance their political objectives disqualifies them...
Lol! It's a matter of credibility not logical argumentation. Any doctor who advises that HIV doesn't cause AIDS should not be considered a reliable fo...
