Buddy, you fail to understand nobody wants to discuss the meaning of words with you.
Then don't. Why are you replying then? xd
Anyway, to refute a piece of information simply based on its source, that is, you saying that you don't care about what dictionaries say on the meaning of the words, because you don't 'identify' with dictionaries: it's called the genetic fallacy. Look it up, do some homework on your own.
The problem is that if you don't want to discuss the meaning of words with me, then no, we won't understand each other. Again, you claim how you win an argument, but that claim in itself is not an argument, no matter how many times you repeat it, and while you may post facts, the conclusions you draw from those facts, and the way you present those facts, is very relevant, because, again, false deductions and misrepresentation may occur, and yes, if you make tons of such fallacies at the same time, you shouldn't talk about winning arguments. Resorting to fallacies is something anyone can do. And when I'm trying to explain it to you, you say it doesn't matter. Again, you don't understand argumentation, that's why I linked you legit sources to learn from. Again, many a times the process of argumentation itself is independent from the validity of the facts you post. You can reach a correct conclusion based on false premises, and you can reach a false conclusion based on true premises. That's why it matters what fallacies you make whilst presenting your arguments.
Also, you say noone wants to discuss the meaning of words with me, but has it ever occured to you that maybe people leave your threads because they don't wanna discuss the topic with you?
IT IS IRRELEVANT to the main topic. You know damn well what is meant by those words, whatever the dictionary says. If you get the message, then stay on topic.
Again, you making assumptions about what I know is not a valid argument.
And what's the message, again? That atheists don't get offended? Which atheists? Coz it seems to me that the Chapel Hall shooter, that I was already referring to but I guess you didn't bother reading my post, was a rather angry atheist.
I'm on topic, it's you bringing up my perosnal life all the time.
Another over-analytic approach on a word. 'wallie'. I see a lot of unnecesary text so I, and others would call it a wallie.
Much of your posts are unnecessary too, especially the parts about you making assumptions about me and my past.
You and others may be wrong. Remember, no matter how many people say smtg stupid, it's still stupid. But keep up the hoard mentality...
Your dictionary, yet again, will not help your cause. The frustrating part is you DO understand me and the words you over-analyze but you need something to work your essay on so you'll go ham on single words that, in a more academic approach, would be used in a different way. We're on an anime forum, not your classroom.
I do understand that you think that religious persons are deluded and aggressive, but I disagree.
I said facts, so personal experiences, based off of not only mine but people spread across the country and national news, 'personal experiences' isn't just a little something that occured to me only. It is nationally accepted here.
Then make claims only about your country, not 1/4 of the world.
Other than that; I, Filosoofis and Hawker would bring facts and statistics on the matter that 'offended' some muslims. It puts their people in a bad spotlight. Yet, the facts remain. You call that bashing, we call that realism.
I never said your statistics are bashing. And I agree that it's stupid to get offended by stats, but the motivation matters much. At least to me. Keep that in mind when talking to me. If you only post 'facts' and 'stats' to look smart and claim how you win the argument, then that's an intellectually dishonest way of discussing.
Fact remains that people see things differently, people may draw different conclusions from the very same stats, just like, f.e. scientists interpret a quantum mechanical phenomenon differently, or just like historicians evaluate a certain event differently. Also, what's the point of making a thread asking 'what do you think of immigration', then when someone doesn't agree that immigration is bad, the person gets bashed ? Again, of course I saw people cussing at you too, but that's no justification for you to do the same- at least if you are insiting that you are so much better.
Fact also remains that 'Eurabia' has been refuted, but as this is rather off topic now, let's just say that there are different polls, different statistics and different estimations/predictions on the matter. Every dice has more sides.
This is but one example of butthurt religious offspring failing to bring a legitimate argument to the table so they dodge.
Just like you are trying to dodge long discussions with me?
So I AM qualified to make that remark. Having gone more in-depth in other threads that later on got deleted because they retorted to cussing due to the severe butthurtness, the rest of the base will never see the proof of which group is cussing.
You've seen me cussing or calling the welfare leeches that prey on european women 'savages'. That's it.
I've seen you calling people retards simply for stating that they believe in God and a holy script. Link in the 'stupid is a flawed concept' thread by ComplexCity.
Feel free to have an academic way of discourse in your classroom. This is an anime forum. Get straight to the point or don't reply at all.
Straight to the point? Ok, I disagre with your simplistic and narrow minded approach. Wow, what an intellectual challenge to make such statments, isn't it?
Anyway, yeah I guess I had better abstain from posting, when kids here admittedly don't care about formulating accurate points. I guess I can't force others to be more demanding towards themselves...
