The Internet Arguing checklist--for non-leftists

Internet Arguing Checklist ~Larry Coreia 09.20.13
Do you ever find yourself arguing with liberals on the internet? Are you tired of people telling you about how awesome free healthcare is for the economy? Or how you should just shut up and pay your fair share because crack whores need iPhones too? Or how we should ban the super ultra-deadly assault rifle AR-15 shotgun Glock? Or been asked why do you hate old people, you cismale gendernormative fascist, hatey-McHaterton-hatey-hate-hatemongering racist?

Have you grown frustrated because arguing with the willfully ignorant is like repeatedly punching a really dumb cactus?

Well, I’ve prepared a handy checklist so you can accurately predict what your willfully ignorant statist will spout next! Have fun with this, as you can follow your friends arguments and play bingo with these. If you are new to internet debate, just find any kerfuffle on Facebook and see how long it takes for you to check most of these off. It is fun for the whole family!
But here’s the thing about rights. They’re not actually supposed to be voted on. That’s why they’re called rights. ~Rachel Maddow August 2010

The Second Amendment forms a fourth branch of government (an armed citizenry) in case the government goes mad. ~Larry Nutter

Yeah.

Fact: Progressives are smarter and better educated than Conservatives. So go fuck yourselves with claims of "ignorance". You'd struggle to find a more ignorant person on the planet than a republican, and even more so a republican tea bagger.

Its unfair to argue that applies just to leftists. Most people, whatever their ideology seem to end up working with the same mechanics.

Any civilized nation should be judged on how it treats its weakest members. I also notice that countries with a welfare state become progressively less religious.

Conservatism is basically an ideology based around fear/hate of others. That's pretty much what it boils down to. If you, GS, want to be associated with that, then good luck to you.

Yep. Leftists are so smart, they don't even have a clue what kind of "straw" they're even talking about.

I used to be a "progressive."

I went to graduate school. Did you?

I've got a number of post graduate qualifications, if that's what "graduate school" is. But I do so love a personal anecdote.

Graduate school is a Master's, Ph.D., medical school, law school, etc.

So, I'll take that as a no.

Isn't a Masters in the US a tinpot degree? A Masters here is at least 2 years of full on research/study. I was one subject away from getting my Masters, but took the next degree down as I got a good job before I finished it.

But once again, I'm not sure what personal anecdotes add to the discussion. :coffee:

The irony too subtle for you? Understandable, given it was further obscured by an old ratz in joke.

THE LEFT WING INTERNET ARGUING CHECKLIST

Skim until Offended
Disqualify that Opinion
Attack, Attack, Attack
Disregard Inconvenient facts
Make Shit Up
Resort to Moral Equivalency
Concern Trolling
When all else fails, Racism!
:hehe: Skim until offended, isn't that the truth. :hehe:
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
