Today, I learnt that the discussion I created has been deleted.

Oh God, fart jokes. Make it stop. :scream:

I don't care if it's not good enough for you. I don't have to meet your standard. It's an instance of the fallacy because it fits the description. I d...

I think we both know that I haven't actually called you or anyone else on this forum a dingbat. Now, when you've composed yourself, please try to unde...

But your questions suggest that you haven't properly read or understood what I've written, and I don't see it as my duty to come running along to help...

Liberty is not the power of doing what we ought, but the right of doing what we want, and liking it. Except guns.

Those first two minutes and fifteen seconds... :ok: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xHmnuaDFmpQ (There's a good solo around 3:13 that's worth waiting fo...

Huh? Oh, that. That's just a decoy. It's a stuffed animal. Stuffed with the entrails of those who were foolish enough to cross me.

A state of mind in which one is really not sure what is going on is different from there being being a sense of choice with regard to what to believe,...

Oh right, I see. Thanks for that. Are you sure about that? Because I thought that it was of great concern to the pen. Good thing we've you two around ...

No, I didn't buy them, they fell from the clouds.

Yeah, fixed it now.

It's good that you seem to have come around to recognising that without inclusion of its primary purpose as a weapon to kill, injure, or disable live ...

Children flee cinema after seeing trailer for 'year's scariest film'. Funniest thing I've read today. :rofl:

Talking about the various alternative ways in which a tool can be used does not change its primary purpose. And typical use doesn't have to correspond...

I think that only some members would merit a suspension rather than an outright ban, and that's a bit of a problem, because if it was selective, then ...

The moral element would be a shallow reason to stop caring. I'm the kind of person who is interested in the results irrespective of whether they're se...

Yes. We could do this all day. It works with practically anything. What have we had so far? Guns, swords, bombs, cars, toothpicks, fishing poles, cand...

Next to the number '3'.

Next to the number '2'.

Don't worry, amputation is merely an absolute certainty.

https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/slippery-slope I presume you're talking about your own confusion. There is indeed something wrong with someone's "thi...

Amputation.

They're wrong, clearly.

But giving up your precious AR-15 (if you owned one) would be a "punishment", whereas being the victim of a school shooting is apparently something wo...

I agree that there's not much in his recent comment history that jumps out. However, he has a lot of comments to sift through: 3,205 to be precise. Al...

I don't disagree.

I went on to explain why I doubt that it would be productive. You're trying to understate it, as you are wont to do, but one can learn a heck of a lot...

I will miss his unreasonable antagonism towards science and his contrived wisdom.

I would be more inclined to talk about it if I thought that there was a genuine reason behind your request, or if I thought that it would be productiv...

I stand corrected. :lol: And candles were simply designed to produce light. It had nothing whatsoever to do with us wanting to see things better in th...

Because Trump and because easily influenced and because jumping on the band wagon and possibly because this time it was women.

A toothpick is just a tool designed to pick stuff. Whether or not it's used on teeth has nothing to do with its design. And a fishing pole is just a p...

Did he, or did he not, set out to design a gun which could by its rapidity of fire, enable one man to do as much battle duty as a hundred? The answer ...

I thought the point was obvious. He designed a gun, not just to shoot bullets, but to shoot bullets at people. Otherwise none of it would make any sen...

Let's see. Based on what he has said, it seems that his proposal is to either ban people or wait until we can fix them so that they don't try to kill ...

What I gathered from Thorongil is that these are attempts to make our position look absurd by trying to associate it with absurd, half-baked suggestio...

Yeah, let's ban house fires and everyday sickness. Another pointless point. Unless one is being paid by the NRA, I wonder what one gets out of trying ...

Lacks class = lacks my approval. Defenceless! = because woman.

I don't think it is, which I find quite concerning. It shows the extent that some people are willing to go to. Elephant? What elephant? :monkey:

I have a better idea: ban all forms of communication on the forum. It's the only way to purge the forum of insults. It would make it one of those non-...

There'll always be a way around it, bookheads.

Dolphins are interesting? How so? Could you expand upon that a bit?
