- stcredzero 8y agoEnforcing Equality of Outcome requires increased government infringement.
- bduerst 8y agoSo is enforcing Child Pornography laws. Is that a bad thing too?
- stcredzero 8y agoNo. So you are saying that you'll only support child pornography laws if you get all the rest of your political agenda? You mean that's a good thing too?
- bduerst 8y agoThat's a straw man. I was just pointing out the flaw in your logic about laws being government infringement.
- stcredzero 8y agoI was just pointing out the flaw in your logic about laws being government infringement. Really? I was parodying your lack of logic. Why is it that you can't enforce child pornography, but still refrain from other kinds of government infringement. Please explain the reasons you so carefully gave above before you started to poison the well by invoking child porn. Provide quotes. Or is there a hole in your logic there?
- bduerst 8y agoNah, you tried to set up a straw man with the "So you are saying {{straw man}}" to knock it down. And giving counter-examples is not poisoning the well, unless you personally have a history with violating child pornography laws that I'm not aware of. Then that would be discrediting you as a pedophile, not your argument, and in which case I apologize for picking such a touchy counter-example for you.
- stcredzero 8y agoNah, you tried to set up a straw man with the "So you are saying {{straw man}}" to knock it down. I was parodying you with a reference to "lobster" logic. And giving counter-examples is not poisoning the well, unless you personally have a history with violating child pornography laws that I'm not aware of. I'm going to be charitable and think you're trolling here, not hilariously lacking self-awareness.
- bduerst 8y agoThanks, I guess? That's still a "lobster" straw man, by your own characterization. Neither is it definitively poisoning the well (unless you're a pedophile); or trolling, since it was you who brought up poisoning the well, making child pornography about your character. This is an awful lot of patronizing and reading into a counter-example to avoid addressing it.
- stcredzero 8y agoYou're the one who failed to come up with the quote I asked for.
- spunker540 8y agoNo it’s just that by saying you oppose feminism and equal opportunity because you want small government it’s implied that in general you don’t think the government should protect people and would probably for the same reason oppose child pornography laws- or really any law. I’m curious- do civil rights laws also go against your small-government principles?
