Cigarette Smoking In Public: Why You're Opinion Is Wrong

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 26 Jun 2006 22:04

Is it really neccessary to resort to personal insults to try and win an arguement? Why are people so incapable of debating the topic instead of the personal traits of the people opposing them?

My apologies for that post, it came across completely different to how I intended because I didn't think about how it would be read. It was meant to be poking fun at the fact that he'd called me a dickhead but oh well...

and lol lauri

No strawman arguments... I don't know what the fuck a strawman argument is...

But god damn, why aren't they allowed? Because they make sense? Because it actually proves that you are wrong and that we are right? Because it's unfair in your opinion to lose your argument because someone gave you straight fucking facts?

No strawman arguments because they dont make sense.

All elephants are grey.
That koala is grey.
Therefore that koala must be an elephant

Strawman argument.

Lauri was making a joke.

Maybe you should find out what strawman arguments are before ranting, although I understand the misunderstanding. Is that possible? Understand a misunderstanding? Either way, scones with cream really rock.

Everyone continues to avoid the points I have brought up repeatedly in this thread, and use the same hashed out arguments that don't counter what I'm saying.

Not trying to be glib, just the truth as I see it.

I have seen no strawman arguments in this topic by your definition. Which means those accussing are rather stupid and should go jump off a bridge, lol.

And it is possible to understand my misunderstanding. You were understanding that I was having a situation with understanding the definition of a word. Now... it might be a little different if you were understanding your own misuderstanding, but then again. That would just be you understanding the reasons as to why you had a misunderstanding yourself.

But yea... there are no strawman arguments here so all yall idiots accussing people of using "bullshit" and strawman arguments... go die...

And yes, 1337 speak is teh suxxorz, however it is sometimes funny when used in small doses. Full topics that you see on game sites is just... annoying.

Yea, getting off topic.

Peace,
Fred.

This relates to smoking how?

And yes, I do occasionally get pms about that. Fuckin pub.

And I'm actually quite happy with my life. Became engaged during my time away from the site. Have a new job, and looking into some good college programs for my future. Yea, future, something you won't have because you're a pot smoking loser who stays and home on the computer all day trying to come up with witty insults to people who are obviously superior to you. Act like a child more? Cry less? Just because I have some common sense in my head doesnt mean you need to cry and come up with stupid sayings like the one quoted above my message. Pub.

Peace,
Fred.

Quit getting off topic you dick.

Btw... I didn't mean to offend others that smoke mary. I have no problem with pot smokers, I'm just not one, and when you combine loser status with pot smoking... well. You come up with Dan Feary. So yea, no offense intended towards you healthy happy pot smokers out there... Just don't over do it, lol.

Peace,
Fred.

Damnit.. we need to be able to edit on here... I keep double posting without meaning to.

What arguments have you even presented for me to admit defeat to? As far as I can tell you blabbered on about misunderstandings and then apologized to weed smokers and then said you didn't know what a strawman argument was ect ect. If you want to look back, if been presenting my arguments althroughout this thread, and none of you're last 4-5 posts have anything to do with them.

I wrote "lol" because I was laughing at you. If you want to debate my points go ahead, but you should probably find out what a strawman argument is and stop making personal rants about me first.

It's spelt 'grey' in my country.

Hurling abuse at someone is not an argument and the only response can be to laugh at it.

Sorry about quoting my own quote, but reading this again just makes me realize that all you people who claim to be against Bush and his encroachments on privacy and his empowering of the federal branch, really don't know what it is you do. Despite all of my negativity, I really just hope you guys think about your actions and how stepping on the minority is actually stepping on yourselves.

There's just a simple fact that makes all your arguments pointless. Smoking is hazardous to other's health, that is a fact. You smoking in public is effecting someone else's health. Shooting someone is also effecting someone else's health. And because of that, you can't legally shoot someone. It technically should be no different for smoking. Smoking in public is the same thing as killing people.

All of those facts make it possible for the government to make what god damn choice they want to make no whether you can or can not smoke in public. It's the exact same fucking thing as smoking pot. It's not the government having too much power, it's you wanting the power to be allowed to kill other people so you can have a pathetic 5 minute orgasmn in your brain.

I gtg, got a few errands to run.

Peace,
Fred.
