Thank you,

That is all.

Um, no, actually he's talking about two tactics used by you and many of your right-wing pals on a regular basis here.

My 'bread and butter' is calling you on them.

Hey baja:

I have an idea:

Since this is a forum for political and religious debate, why not post a sticky thread with definitions of logical fallacies?

That way, we can just link people like W*GS and cutthemdown to that thread instead of having to point out their straw man arguments and poisoning of the well hundreds of times per day.

Like I said in another thread, if we choose to no longer call a pig a pig, it's still a pig.

Well, i don't know if you can make that claim Baja. You see, we all know that people whom object to this request are really straw-men as it appears.

Bronco Bob · 01-31-2008, 01:18 PM

The real Straw Man arguement.

The ACLU will be picketing outside your home any minute. This is obviously a racist attack on scarecrows.

What, no love even by the ACLU for a heartless tinman?
You'd think they would at least have attempted to make
a case about discriminating against the disabled.

baja · 01-31-2008, 01:55 PM

How about the violations perpetrated by Goldie Locks on the Three Bears in the sanctuary of their own home no less.

Not only that, but the Three Little Pigs is racist.

change.

spdirty · 01-31-2008, 06:33 PM

courage.

JCMElway · 01-31-2008, 08:45 PM

Only if we can replace them with "Straw Foneco" and "Foneco the well."

Or should it be Foneco Man and Poison the Foneco? And what about the Slippery Foneco/Foneco Slope?

alkemical · 01-31-2008, 10:56 PM

I sorta lost the laughs on the foneco thing about 10mins after it was invented.

JCMElway · 01-31-2008, 11:39 PM

Ah, the foneco thing is just dumb enough to keep me entertained until Training Camp.

And perhaps beyond.......
