OT America should be ashamed. We don't need Canada to make it obvious.

Something just occurred to me....

SlyPokerDog is our resident troll. You actually don't take yourself seriously about anything....do you? You just like the attention; you don't actually care about logic, facts, reason....any of those inconvenient things, right?

 

Bruh, you swagger around like Clint Eastwood.

 

I figured out how to argue with you. Just copy your style! Getting a taste of your own medicine? (Speaking of that, the 10 a.m. line is short right now, run over there.)

As for you Sly, do either Jade or I look like we're going to whine about our feelings being hurt? Butt out, this is the funnest part of the day for both of us.

 

So Denny can get off reading it and laughing? That's like telling Ali and Frazier to box inside the house. With B.B King singing, "The Thriller is gone."

 

The problem with your logic though is that my original post was

1) not addressed to you
2) not written in any kind of argument

And yet...you chose to make it an argument. You did, not I.

Now, I'm assuming, if I read your posts correctly, that you have a problem with me labeling him on the Left.

Why? It's not even an insult; it's merely an assumption of his political and social leanings.

What's wrong with that?

Perhaps if you explained that, I would have a better understanding of your position.

If you want to debate this like an adult, I'll do that, and we'll have a rational discussion. But really...I didn't set into this thread to argue like a child with anyone. In fact, I never meant to argue with anyone, period.

So if that's all you want to do here, then count me out. I can go back and forth with the best of them, but really...it gets us nowhere. And Sly will never allow proper insults anyways, which is what I'd REALLY like to do.

But if you genuinely want to debate something here, then let's discuss it.

There. That's as nice as I'm going to be, and I think that's a reasonable post without any kind of insult.

So what's it gonna be?

 

Nice act there, appearing calm and rational. Everyone has read your posts. You'll go nuts any moment now. As for you not having started it by making Makeup Kid your political straw man, it started with you posting

You used your divide and conquer technique of pretending the issue is Left vs. Left, and you are above it all, being on the Right. Until you interjected, the issue was stupidity vs. apolitical kid. When I objected, you dove into your usual strawman technique to defend your use of the strawman technique.

I don't think you use your techniques consciously/on purpose. You conjure up these visions subconsciously and actually believe your own rants.

 

Wow. You REALLY ARE mad about this, aren't you? So let's break it down....

It is. And I have proof.

If you look in the link on the first page, you'll plainly see that those who disagreed with his joke are on the Left. Not the Right...the Left.

Cici (@melaninporn on twitter), who is a Leftist BLM-supporting Liberal, said this:

"@jamescharles Instead of listening to your fans from Africa you sass & block them immediately. I know you're 17 but you have to grow up."

And this:

"@jamescharles Not only that but you authentically have fans who lost family members due to the outbreak of ebola."

And Luisa Lorde (@HoneyLuLu_ on twitter) said that she was boycotting Cover Girl because of Charles, and she's also a Leftist Liberal.

And Marina Elena (@PinkChanelSuit) ordered Cover Girl to drop him "or we'll be dropping you", and she's a Leftist Liberal.

As did several others. All of whom are Liberal. Which you would see if you bothered to read the link.

So yes, it IS a Left vs. Left thing. And I actually have proof there of it.

And why shouldn't I be? I don't use Cover Girl products, nor associate in any way with Cover Girl. So why should this be my problem? I can take a joke from Charles and not get my panties in a wad over it. It doesn't bother me.

I see. So you think it was dishonest of me to suggest that he would have to make it up to those on the Left who disagree with him; whereas by saying something like that, I've made it political.

Interesting. I actually hadn't considered that.

Personally, I don't believe the term "Left" is solely a political one. To me, it describes a person's social beliefs, not political ones. If I had said "Democrats", then THAT would be a political label.

However, I don't think it's entirely dishonest to suggest a Left attachment here. Liberals are, after all, the harshest people when it comes to condemning one of their own. And really, my argument was that it wasn't anyone on the Right who he (Charles) would have to make amends with.

And that is entirely true.

I don't think you know the definition of "strawman" argument, since you use a form of it quite often when you're making snide comments and shrouded insults about Conservatives. You do, after all, have a history of this.

I therefore find it quite hypocritical that you should suddenly get offended by this type of thing.

Correct. I assumed you thought otherwise. Had I known you would have a shit flip over my original post, I probably would have chosen my words differently.

Ahem...you mean, like this....

 

No, I was energetic, not mad. When you're mad, you try to win at any cost. Like when Republicans brought impeachment proceedings against Clinton, knowing they were well short of 50 votes when they needed at least 60. That was all ego and bluster for an inevitably losing cause, to damage a president's legacy in revenge for Watergate.

When you're mad you speak without reason, just to win. I wrote a lot of careful sentences, especially when I was joyfully parodying your style. So I didn't write in anger, and you're wrong that I was mad. To control an equal strength, one must keep himself under control. The one here who thinks way too emotionally is you.

 

With respect, I don't buy that for a minute.

If that's truly the case, then I've never been emotional on here in my life. Just energetic.

Yes, like using out-of-the-blue arguments that have no basis on the current topic....

Ahem....

...like that.

LMAO, no you didn't. You wrote a bunch of rambling crap, like the above sentences, that was so bad that Sly had to step in and shut you up.

This is where I don't get you. On one hand, you clearly don't think much of me. Which is fine; nobody has to like anyone here, and if we're being honest, I'm not very fond of you either. I never have been, in fact.

No offense...?

And yet...I also get the impression at times that you're trying to praise me. Like some form of admiration...or even respect. Even if you don't outright say it.

It's truly baffling.

Quite the contrary: if it's anything I've learned in the 2 years or so that I've been on this forum, it's this: that the best way to get your point across to those who are desperate to be validated, is to do so with facts, logic, and reason, without getting emotional.

I wasn't emotional. It was simply frustration that you seemed to find something, in what I thought was an innocent-enough post, to bitch about. And you did so without explaining your position, and instead, made some random claim about me wanting to start an argument....which was never my intention in the first place.

 

i am going to craft a 7 point response to prove how little i care about this.

 

im not pants shitting, you are! i dont even care!

 

It's almost noon and you're posting? Very unjlprk!!

 

SlyPokerDog is a spacey and absent-minded, dude. His attention span is hit-and-miss. He probably sucks at the dog park, too.
