Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I followed your conversation there and agree with your labelling the strawman arguments. You can say stuff like "Democrats are retards" and everyone will give you an amen. Nobody is gonna say, "Yeah, but not ALL Democrats are retards!" and then attempt to draw some stupid Venn diagram that only detracts from the original point. Nobody does that. But if you mention Israel, you get the "b-b-but not ALL Israelis!" crap that just wastes time.
It's always the same style of arguments. It's easier to just directly point out the tactics instead of arguing back anymore. Showing others what they do seems to be the optimal approach.
You had way more patience responding to that person than I would have. Straw man arguments indeed! After Christ's resurrection, the evil rabbis only double-downed with their depravity and hatred, and came up with the Talmud. I knew it had some raunchy stuff in there, but earlier this year when I found the verses equating raping a 3 year old girl to poking her in the eye with a finger, that just about did it for me. Yes, not all Jews do that, and perhaps many don't even know it's in there. It still doesn't negate the fact that the Talmud is rotten to the core. If anyone wonders why Israel gives asylum to convicted pedos with dual citizenship, just take a look at the Talmud.
It concerns me how much power we have ceded to them. I try my best to have faith in the plan, but every day I think more and more all this may end in bloodshed. It seems everyone that is in power is compromised.
