Sorry raising Trump seems to scare you or something? Perfectly relevant to compare and contrast two presidents in their approach to resolving a crisis, but I suspect that's a bit beyond your capacity for critical-thinking. Memes and cringe is more your speed, I take it? Are you still in high school?
It's not relevant to compare and contrast presidents no one's defending. See, that's the straw man. I'm not a high schooler but I'm pretty sure one could figure that out
So if you're not a high schooler, then are you either bullshitting me, or are you stoned out of your mind right now? Perhaps drinking?
Contact between the topic and a strawman no one brought up. That's literally not what anyone was talking about. I don't know shit about what would have happened if Kennedy didn't die but you're so bad at making your point I'm inclined to believe the other guy. Do you know what ad hominem fallacies are? They're kinda like strawman fallacies. I'm fascinated by you though
Who said anything about contact? We're talking contrast. Keep up, buddy! I'm so amused at how triggered you became by my raising Trump. Most people would've gone, "Yeah... Trump definitely would've disastrously handled the Cuban Missile Crisis more than JFK," but not you good sir... You seethed so much you had to interject in a discussion between two other users, it upset you that much.... Which tells me all I need to know about you. If you ask me, that's the real cringe.
You could've just stopped at, "I don't know shit" and had a much stronger, more accurate statement.
Hahaha can't figure typos out now? See I'm not worried about making a small mistake, like bringing Trump up out of no where and claiming "no ackshually it's you that's triggered". Oh man I'm starting to feel bad for you. You probably got bullied and picked on a lot. Honestly dude, you were wrong on that one point and it's ok to admit it. Like I'm admitting my auto correct turned into contact not contrast. Doubling down like this is just so embarrassing and gives me the worst kind of satisfaction to make fun of
Oh you little flippant stoner anarchist, you ;)
Still triggered about the mention of Trump, I see. Is he like He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named to you or something? Hahahah
How about you just step aside from the geopolitics for a few more years and just enjoy your bong a little bit longer, buddy?
Literally my whole point is you brought it up out of nowhere and you're embarrassing behavior doubling down in hilarious. I have nothing to say about geo politics in this thread. I'm staying on topic here.
Are you afraid of weed or something? I don't smoke much and some of the smartest engineers I know smoke a ton. That's a really weird ad hominem that doesn't even make sense
Good morning, sunshine. Weed wear off yet or did you already start up again?
I have no problem with weed any more than I do some light social alcohol versus someone who makes it their live or drives under the influence. Similarly arguing under the influence is a no no. Smartest engineers I know definitely aren't coming to work stoned or drunk, but maybe you and I have different standards?
Now I know raising Trump really triggered you for some reason — as I said, most would either just ignore that remark or go, "Yeah Trump would've definitely botched the crisis" — but let's get back to the point:
Yes or No — would Trump have botched the deescalation of the CMC relative to JFK? Who would you prefer in that moment of crisis? Try not to deviate too wildly now, buddy ;)
Yeah Trump would’ve definitely botched the crisis, but no one was talking about him. I don't understand how you can be so embarrassing ignorant. Like, you're devastating to have on your side in an argument. You brought him up out of nowhere as a strawman
Look up the definition of ad hominem bud cause you clearly fundamentally don't understand what you're doing. You can't discredit an argument by attacking the speaker no matter how hard you try, it's a fallacy. You can absolutely argue in any state you want and if the argument has merit it has merit.
Jesus Christ you are just too fucking stupid to know what's going on. I'm having a hard time believing you're real right now. Once again my entire point is that you brought Trump up out of nowhere. What isn't subjective. And that being a straw man is also not subjective. The point is not subjective. You're so fucking weird.
"No one" was? News to me that I wasn't talking about him. We weren't talking about JFK either until I brought him up as well but I don't hear you bitching about that, do I? lol... Do you not understand how comment threads work?
Funny enough, I have a literal poster beside me with the definition. This is not it, buddy. You can definitely recognize someone in an altered mental state not thinking straight when rational thought is not yet possible. It's like trying to get through to someone in an insane asylum. At some point, it becomes fair to wonder if someone is in the right state of mind before proceeding. Ever try to argue with a drunkard while sober? lol!
I can discredit the argument when I won on substance and now you move to deflection and irrational thought.
Now that's an Ad Hominem! I see you practice what you preach, is that right buddy?
Once again I raised JFK out of nowhere yet I don't see you crying, moping, seething over that — funny how that is?
I'll raise Trump a thousand more times if it pisses you off this much with glee. Ironically, you still couldn't get back to the point LOL.
Anyways, this has been amusing. Bystander audience sees you lost so I rest my case.
I will graciously oblige you with the final response.
You'll need it.
Ad hominem: (of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.
I don't doubt that for a second. You clearly don't absorb information in front of you
That's me trying to reason how you can possibly be this consistently ignorant, it's not my argument in the way you trying to say "you're just stoned so you're argument isn't valid". Read your poster.
You can't be serious. Do you even know what a strawman is? You weren't imposing that on someone's argument when you did. How can you not see how fundamentally different that is?
Go for it, I'll agree with it if when it fits the context. I hate Trump. I hate strawman arguments even more and I'm disappointed in this echo chamber that enables you
God damn school must have been rough on you edge lord
