No, you're accusing them of hypocrisy because you believe that they secretly desire him. But on what grounds do you base this accusation/belief? On th...

So who are you referring to when you say "the world hates Trump"? And who are you referring to when you say "the world voted for Trump"? Because it's ...

You made a disparaging remark about the women on TV on the basis that they're women. That's sexism.

What? It is a fact that Trump received 46.1% of the votes. That's not a majority. Furthermore, the vast majority of the people who hate and criticise ...

No, a majority didn't vote for Trump. There are 7 billion people in the world, 323 million people in the United States, 231 million eligible voters in...

The world didn't vote for Trump. 62,979,879 people voted for Trump. And I'm sure a good number of those voted for Trump only because he was a Republic...

Parts of it were sexist. Parts of it weren't. Seems reasonable to then claim that the post was sexist. Just as if I were to say "London is the capital...

But you did say "The women on TV pretend they are disgusted by what Trump does to them. But secretly, they all desire it, and wish they were the ones....

I believe his claim was just that you don't know that all the women on TV who claim to be disgusted by Trump are just pretending and secretly desire w...

I'm pretty regular here, so it never went away.

If he was arguing with me, are you sure he wasn't just being sexyist?
August 14, 2017 at 23:14
It's OK, I said Obama.
August 14, 2017 at 23:13
Why?
August 14, 2017 at 22:33
Nah, Obama should replace Trump.

Incorrect politically right wing views.

How can he PM if he forgot his password and so can't log in? Edit: guess you meant PM on a temp new account?

Political affiliation doesn't make a difference. If he's some sort of naive realist, though, then his days are numbered.

Merriam-Webster has examples going back to 1890.

Arguably all theocracies.

Socrates (or Plato) would disagree (see Crito). Also Jesus (in some verses at least).

Unless it is immoral to break the law, in which case murder need always be immoral.

Explains why SX's discussions are so short.

Was murder immoral before the first murder?

So start a discussion titled "Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain on Earth?" or whatever it was. ;)
August 08, 2017 at 11:12
This one already is (excluding the Shoutbox, of course).
August 08, 2017 at 11:06
Again with the whataboutism. You asked for an example of Trump's malevolency. I provided it. What's the relevance of responding with an example of ano...
August 08, 2017 at 10:35
Saying that you should kill the family of terrorists is a pretty malevolent thing to say. And if he's being honest then it shows him to be pretty male...

You're a failed abortion whose birth certificate is an apology from the condom factory.

Jokes with anticlimactic punchlines work best if they're long. The humour is in the build up of expectation that is never satisfied. It just doesn't w...

How do you confuse a blond? Paint yourself green and throw forks at her. An Irishman walks out of a bar.

Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me? Zeno walks halfway into a bar.

A competition between runners, horses, vehicles, etc. to see which is the fastest in covering a set course.

You ruined it with the hyphens.
August 05, 2017 at 11:33
What are you going on about now? Doesn't seem at all related to what we were discussing. So let's add a red herring to your list of fallacies.
August 03, 2017 at 19:06
Of course they want them. That's why they push for equality and against discrimination. That's why they're by-and-large pro-choice rather than pro-lif...

Again, this is just a slippery slope fallacy. You might as well argue that the conservative desire to stop homosexuals from marrying will inevitably l...

Yes, I said that. That's one slippery slope.
