Calling it stupid isn't an argument. Pretty sure everyone can easily gather that you only skipped over it because you have no argument against it.No, I skipped it because it was stupid, and frankly, repeating it would make us all dumber.
Telling someone that they need a shrink isn't an argument, it's an attempted character assassination.Yes, that's between you and your shrink, I don't get involved.
Character assassination, non-argument, and Occam's razor is a problem-solving principle, not the answer to all of life's problems. Simply stating "Occam's razor" instead of explaining why is should apply in the instance that's being discussed is not an argument.1) The guy is already an emotional mess.
2) If he beleives conmen like Jones, he's already worse than gullible.
3) Again, I'll repeat - OCCAM'S FUCKING RAZOR
Oh, you did attempt to explain. That's out of the ordinary for you, and I can see why.Either one crazy person stole his mommy's guns and killed a bunch of people.
Or thousands of people conspired to stage a drill, realized people took it seriously, and then created a false narrative about a fictional school and fictional victims. This conspiracy would not only involve Federal, State and Local officials, but the entire town of Newtown (Pop 28,000), All of the news networks, including Fox and Talk Radio, and even the NRA!
Firstly, nobody is claiming that it's outside the realm of possibility for one individual to go on a shooting spree, however simply accepting that instead of questioning the validity of given information and investigating for yourself is just intellectual laziness and gullibility. You're also massively over-complicating the steps that would need to be taken in order to create that false narrative.
For example, for the borderline video, all they did was make a fake report for the state-run news media, then proceed to record shaky footage of a person firing off blanks in a mostly empty bar. I also want to point out that sheep-dipping is a practice that the Government has been conducting for years, so fake victims, or hell, letting one of their agents shoot real people and then getting an actor to claim that one of them was her child would be incredibly easy. Besides, as I keep mentioning, Operation North Woods was far more complicated than this, and it was an actual plan of action that the Government would have taken, the document is publicly available.
A small nitpick, but you also specifically said crazy person, yet mentally ill people are LESS likely to commit violent crimes, the narrative that mentally ill people shouldn't be able to defend themselves is a red herring.
Furthermore, it wouldn't require the entire town of Newtown, nor "all of the news networks and talk radio", it would only require the state-run media to run with it, then other stations wanting to report on this piece of news, they only need to repeat the information given. Since through Operation Mockingbird, again something the Government has acknowledged, all of the Mainstream media outlets are Government-run. Beyond that, all that's needed are a few fake witnesses, not an entire town.
Also, the absolute EASIEST condition to fulfill is the Government being corrupt. Monopolies are inherently corrupt, and the Government lies to the citizens on a regular basis. You and yours have even been pointing out that Donald Trump lies frequently, so the fact that you're vouching for the Government to be totally pure and innocent is incredibly laughable. Every single politician is well known for lying, for example, again, Operation North Woods would have been kept secret from the citizens, there was the "Iran has Nuclear weapons" narrative, the "Russia" narrative, and those are just what comes to mind immediately. Your faith in in humans that you've never met before likely impresses all kinds of religious people.
Lastly, the NRA is controlled opposition:
Being simple or not doesn't make something automatically true, it only means your thinking stopped the moment it was easier for you to accept a specific narrative.Now, since the simplest explanation is usually true, which of those is simpler.
You'll have a hard time doing that with text, keyboard warrior.NO, I'm here to reduce assholes to greasy smears on the pavement.
Multiple armed men were sighted at Church Christ, only one was brought before a judge, the others were never mentioned. The shooter's Manifesto was written differently from the post it was attached to, the post being in "Queen's English", the other being in standard english, and the entire thing was filled with points which conflict, as if the post and manifesto were written by different people. You only believe that it wasn't a false flag because you were told it wasn't by the State Media. Even more damning, discussion of the event is being suppressed. I even have a copy of the manifesto, if by some miracle you're interested in information beyond the minimal.Which fact is this? Here's the thing, most mass shootings, you have contradictory early reports, that turn out to not be true.
Cliche non-argument. I could do something just as pathetic; "I no want peoplez to haz gunz cuz they iz scawy". Though, ad-homs, cliche non-arguments, and character assassinations don't lead to honest discussion of ideas, just mud flinging. I suppose that's what you're after, though.Actually, the best argument for gun control is a five minute conversation with a gun nut talking about all the people he wants to shoot.
Oh look, more mud-flinging. Actually, I have a better understanding of logic than you do.You wouldn't know logic if it bit you on the ass.
The foundations of all logic and reason; the Principle of Non-Contradiction: Something cannot be a specific thing, and also not that specific thing at the same time. Likewise, something cannot be one thing and also another at the exact same time, when both are mutually exclusive. So long as the Principle of Non-Contradiction holds, the Consistency Principle does as well: If one can find inconsistency in an idea, that idea must be rejected. For example, if one thing and another are mutually exclusive, and a true dichotomy, falsifying the first is all one needs to do to support the second. The consistency principle itself can be supported in this way; “Consistency is preferable” or “consistency is not preferable”. This is a True Dichotomy, one or the other must be true, but both cannot be at once. If one examines this, “Consistency is not preferable” is a consistent principle, but therefor self-contradictory, by the Principle of Non-Contradiction, it then must be rejected, therefor accepting consistency as being preferable. The Consistency Principle then brings one to the Burden of Proof: There are an infinite number of things that any and every individual is not doing at any one time, it’s therefor impossible to justify all of them at once, causing the burden of proof to fall on the active position, rather than the passive position, as the passive position is the position in which nothing is being done.
If you understood logic, you wouldn't be for gun control, since the position is inherently contradictory.
Alex Jones' lawyer admits the one thing we all already knewAnd the true sign of a conspiracy nut... when they start accusing the other nuts of being in on the conspiracy.
Alex Jones ‘playing a character,’ says lawyer
'It's performance art': Lawyer for Alex Jones says InfoWars founder is 'playing a character'
No, he was admitted to be a "Performance Artist" in court. Also, calling someone a nut isn't an argument.
Whether or not Jones says dumb shit on purpose to steal morons' money has no bearing on the fact that he truly is a delusional,ignorant, angry little sphincter of a human.
