Ah. An anecdote and an ad hominem. The perfectly balanced reasoning cocktail known to mankind. The best way to make policy universally.
Anyhow, funny story regarding dead people after a fire. He jumped out of a balcony. The fire was in his apartment. The firefighters were already at the door. It turns out the dude was off his meds. (Or never on them.) Because no one gives a shit about mental health. But maybe let's mandate bars on balconies so people can't jump out.
- pessimizer 5y agoThat's not an ad hominem. Calling someone an idiot because of what they say and do is not an ad hominem, it's literally the only reason to call someone an idiot. Calling what somebody said wrong because they are an idiot is an ad hominem.
