Moiraine Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 7 minutes ago, Landlord said: OH SO TRUMP IS THE SAME AND JUST AS BAD AS STALIN? GIVE ME A BREAK MAN! I have a friend of a friend who uses this type of argument for literally everything. Vaccines, politics, nutrition, etc. She was defensively responding to my friend’s post about a diet being bad for people, and the defense of the diet was it caused weight loss. So I posted an article on the diet which explained how weight loss is not a key measurement of how healthy a diet is and it compared it to some other diet I don’t recall the name of. I’ll say it’s starvation but it wasn’t even crazy weird. And she replies something like “OH SO THE DIET IS LIKE STARVING TO DEATH GIMME A BREAK!” Link to comment

I count two of us here, out of a few dozen posters, who are even willing to to even listen to him and haven’t decided he’s some combination of Satan and Hitler. What passes for “discussion” here is pathetic. My guess is there are discussion boards in North Korea that involve more independent thinking. I did find it surprising that some of the most articulate and unified rejection of Trump came on a Nebraska football fan site. Gives me hope for my home state. But since the numbers don't add up, I'll have to assume Trump supporters feel they've either been chased away or they don't have the stomach for a debate. Again, I would personally prefer that Ric not be banned. Honestly don't recall him abusing the TOS any more than I have. 2 Link to comment

Hey, hey, hey! Let's not be dissing my guy Tevildo here. He's not evil, he's just misunderstood. Link to comment

Stalin killed millions of his own people and millions more from other countries. Trump tweets things you find offensive. So they're identical...good call. 1 Link to comment

Landlord Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 LMAO RIC STILL DID THE FALSE EQUIVALENCY THING AGAIN WHAT ON EARTH HOW IS THIS REAL It'd be unfathomably entertaining if it wasn't so horrifying. Okay, I take that back - it's also hilarious. 2 1 Link to comment

I'm saying the idea that people are being unfair or biased because there aren't an equal number of people supporting/against Trump is not based in reality or on any understanding of what those words mean. I used Stalin as an example because it should be an easy example to help anyone to understand. 1 1 Link to comment
