Modern Debate 101

[SaintGeorge]

You can win any debate. Just follow these rules.

Immigration
Call the other person a nativist.

Homosexuality and Same Sex Marriage
Call the other person a homophobe.

Affirmative action
Call the other person a racist.

Abortion
Call the other person a sexist and then say if men could get pregnant abortion would be a sacrament.

Any issue of which the Catholic Church opposes.
Remind the other person of the priestly abuse scandal. Make sure you say pedophile priests at least once.

Minimum Wage
Tell them they are racist and targeting the poor and being in bed with the top one percent.

Islam
Call the other person a racist. Even if you realize that Islam is a religion and not a race, you can still use this. In fact when in doubt on any subject just call the other person a racist - you will rarely go wrong.

Atheism
Say intelligent design is unreasonable. Add that man created religion. Evolution does not need to account for logic, man created that too...oh wait, nevermind. Just call the other person a naive fool who believes in sky faries.

War
Call the other person disillusioned.

And if everything else fails...
Call the other person conservative.

I kind of thought it was just a joke, a funny commentary on liberal society???

I took it as funny too.

 

[Da_Funkey_Gibbon]

Yeah, but you get stock replies on every side of the spectrum, you could just as easily do a conservative version of the OP.

 

[D'Ann]

What is the purpose of your thread George? Just curious.

Yeah, you're totally right. I just thought he was trying to post a funny thread.

We can ask what the point of a lof threads are in OBOB and TAW (in TAW there was a poll on which poll color they liked the best... I think blue one). i've seen others where a funny comic strip was listed.

But, maybe there's something I'm missing here.

Hi John,

I'm just curious as to where George may want to go with his thread. I'm hoping that it's not a political type of thread because it would be nice if we all could go beyond politics. I hope this makes sense.

 

[SaintGeorge]

Guys, it's just a light-hearted funny thread. I'm not all gloom and doom.

 

[Foundthelight]

LOL.

I loved it!

Awesome.

I love your pictures in your signatures. They are beautiful.

 

[WarriorAngel]

I admit, I got a chuckle.

Of course, being in many secular debates...I have seen them all... so its only funny to me that it does happen.
