    Who said it was for all ages?  You’re on a streak. Keep that fallacy coming. 

    This comment is impressive in its ignorance. It was arguing a point without having the slightest clue about the laws meaning, wording, or it's impact. Truly to believe you "won" the argument is based entirely in pretending your beliefs are real when no articles from the last two years support you.

    Who said anything about the killing fields or brokeback mountain?  You posted the definition of straw man but didn’t comprehend it. I’m not sure I understand your awkward prose either. 
     

    But here’s a list of banned classics. Steinbeck and Huxley stand out.

    You are so easily mislead. Catch 22 is one of the books my daughter is allowed to read for  her English class project so this list is for the younger kids. You don't have the list seperated by age range but you believe it is for all ages. Seriously your commitment to ignorance is hilarious.

    The other conclusion is the correct one:  That I'm arguing that books that are not sexually explicit, especially those that have a political or religious stance outside of conservative arbitrary red lines, are forbidden.

     

    So what about your straw man that attempted to validate by going thru it.  Lord, I hope you're not a teacher.

    So you think elementary schoolers should be discussing the killing fields? Or how about brokeback mountain? Your lack of knowledge of the actual situation is pathetic. I will ask  what book that has been rejected is a bad rejection?

    you argued using the premise of me supporting porn or sexually explicit books for children.  I don't and I never said I did.

     

    But you "went through it".  Wtf does that mean and how does it relate to your straw man argument against something I never said?

    You are arguing against the law that restricts adults having sexual discussions with children, what other conclusion could be reached? Since this is not a new law to argue almost anything else is just admitting you are proud of your ignorance of a 3 year old law.

    You’re an idiot. I really pray you’re not really a teacher. 

    The definition of a straw man argument:

    A straw man argument is a logical fallacy where someone misrepresents or distorts an opponent's argument into an exaggerated, weaker, or false version of itself, and then argues against that distorted version instead of the original one

     

    I pointed out a real incident, not false or distorted, so actually knowing the definition of words makes me  "an idiot".  If you had called it anecdotal you would have been close but exactly correct but your statement is indefensible so you resort to name calling. Truly you are so easily duped I feel bad for you

    Strawman. I’ve never mentioned books on open marriage. There are plenty of banned books that have nothing to do with sex. The sexes.however are a concern of mine. Why do you think a book about subjugation of women like “The Handmaids Tale” should be banned?  Plenty of other examples of banned books that are benign and harmless other than to present varied ideas on non sexual subject. 

    Since I want through it it is the opposite of a straw man you illiterate moron. Saying strawman when I went through it is the most disingenuous response possible.  I have not read the handmaids tales but it has a very sexual nature with sexual scenes. I ask again why do you want to discuss sex with a middle schooler so much? You keep acting like no one wants to discuss sex with an 11 year old but you get upset when we make it illegal.

    They are banned in schools.   Not enough for you?

    why are you so adamant that 7th grader learns what an open marriage is? This is something I had to deal with for my 7th grade daughter, not a hypothetical.

    call me out when i use fallacies.  That's not how I desire to debate.  Maybe you're talking about my appeals to authority.  That's not a fallacy if the authority is widely recognized as one.  For example, it's not a fallacy to note that a Harvard dean in a relevant dept supports the idea that tylenol has an effect on fetal neurodevelopment.

    Joe you have become as much a troll as anything recently. If you want to be taken seriously you gotta cut that crap out.

    This is not about one particular issue.  It's about absolutes.  Are there any?  Does logic exist?  Does truth exist?  Is it important?

    We all use logical fallacies in our arguments, some more than others.  But would it be preferable to avoid them or not purposefully use them at all?

     

    I think there are absolutes and that logic exists and is vital towards the search for truth which we all should want.

    A common fallacy deployed here lately has been "everyone does it so it's ok for he/me to do it".  I think this is a variation on #7 in the above link.  Ad hominems, appeals to authority, straw men and non sequiturs are in abundance here as well, from both sides..  Would it make for better debate if we tried to avoid these?  Or is that unrealistic or simply wrong?

    Since you are the #1 purveyor of these "tricks" it surprised me that you started this thread but admitting it is a good first step.

    yeah.  it would be awful for the president to actually be a decent leader and try to fix what's going on.  you know...like his job.   to keep this level of divide really is what's best for him.  he feeds into a certain group of his followers who completely eat it up because this nonsense team based politics.  if i ever hear either side use the phrases: trolling, owning, fafo, etc, i know exactly the type of person i'm dealing with.  

     

    on top of that, whether or anyone wants to admit this...a ton of this is trumps doing. 

     

    You make one major mistake here, he doesn't troll to impress his followers he trolls to distract people like Roundy and Tibs so he can accomplish what he wants. I don't like it but I understand it.

    Yeah, you haven’t been around enough to see the other side of the systemic racism coin.  I agree that, at some point, AA has to go away.   But to call it evil or what have you simply reflects a lack of real life experience.  Misused, perhaps, but certainly not of ill intent. 

    What would make you think that Affirmative Action has been effective?

    Cant wait for Nuremberg II for these psychopaths 

     Truly think about how easily you are fooled with anything that could be considered Anti Trump. This was obviously a lie and you went with it.

    CORRECTION (Sept. 23, 2025): An earlier version of this article mischaracterized the activities of ICE agents in the video. The article has been updated.

    So let me get this straight: you’re apparently too lazy and incurious to do a basic keyword search in a prominent science journal, but I should somehow believe that you’ll take the time to carefully peruse the highly cited peer-reviewed research papers that I would have taken the time to arrange for you??

     

    This was always a “gotcha!” situation, really, because anyone genuinely open-minded about this subject would have already done the individual inquiries to arrive at the same scientific determination that other learned people have already done.

     

    I’ll reiterate and (drastically) simplify the science with new words: gender identity is a neurobiological construct. Transgender people are those whose brain scans show female-looking brains inside male bodies, and vice versa. Understanding what causes this incongruency (prenatal development, genetics, etc.) is an active area of research. The main scientific takeaway here is that “T” is no more a mental illness than are “LGB.”

    You mean after giving people hormones their brain changed? There is no common evidence that they are any different before the hormones. But you called Kirk "psychotic" for believing that every life should be protected but this is psychotic to me, having a meeting where no one is allowed to disagree. Truly pathetic and guaranteed to lead to more murders of people can't hear an opinion they disagree with
