I have seen her glasses yes.

You gotta cut it out with those strawman arguments, JWB.

frownland demonstrating that he still doesn't understand most of the wikipedia articles he reads

Maybe. I just think that saying something and thinking it are a little bit different. Must just be me though.

stop strawmanning, frowny

I would but the Jews won't let me stop.

No idea what you're going on about. I think you just like saying "strawman". Well, argument ad naseam. See, I can list arbitrary logical fallacies too.

it's cool, bro. just don't ever in your life think you can namedrop jwb without eliciting a belligerent response from me.

Say that your uncle starts saying really racist **** only when he drinks. When he's sober he doesn't say anything of the sort. He was always racist. Lil is not exclusively horny for Jim Morrisson or David Bowie when she's drunk, but she doesn't go around posting about it on MB when she's sober. Surprised I have to explain this to you.

Sorry for comparing you to a racist uncle, lil, but it was appropriate.

hey frownland.. you realize nothing that you just said has anything to do with the strawman fallacy, right?

you basically just disagreed with batlord's theory on the correlation between lil's sexual drive and her alcoholic intake (which read like sort of a joke to me), and then carelessly labelled it a strawman, rather than just saying nah you're wrong.

thus making you guilty of creating an actual strawman argument (setting up a false argument for the purpose of being defeated and applying it to your opponent).

@Frownland: Why's he gotta be racist?

Because it's a common situation and I'm secretly racist are the two biggest reasons.

So where in my post did I say that lil is never horny when she's sober?

Hello, Roxy. Is it possible to stop thinking?

Question the Oracle.

I thought I was.

where in batlord's post did he attribute this 'argument' to you?

he was using your post as a platform to expound with his own ideas and take a couple side jabs at lil.

you will not defeat me, frownland. i learned how to logic in public school.

Reply hazy.

I realize his intent behind using a strawman but the fallacy is still present.

And public school, nice! That's where I picked up critical thinking and a good understanding of safe sex.

Purple?

this is incoherent nonsense

it's not a strawman

learn to be wrong once in a while, my friend

Saying "strawman" is to pseudo-intellectual college kids what "CIS" is to tumblr feminists. It's just word crack to them and they can't help but say it.

^Those pesky ass logical motherfuckers.

@JWB When I said this

He said this

So where exactly in my post did I say she would never fuck anyone sober? Nowhere. Strawman. Or is posting about fucking someone the same as actually fucking someone? If that's the case I want to bang Heather Graham. I did misword it a little bit when I asked this question before though.

Wait, why am I explaining this to you? We've been down this road before and you can't seem to understand whichever wiki page you read about strawman fallacies

Oh please. That strawman is just a strawman for the real strawman.

You do realize I wasn't sarcastically disagreeing with you, right? I have to be disagreeing with you for it to be a strawman.

:laughing:

so cause he replied to your post, you assume he was trying to represent your argument?

he can't just reply to your post with his own thoughts?

come one frownland, you know i'm right

Do you really or are you moving the goalposts now?

Oooh ja, a fallacy within a fallacy. That makes me hard.

from wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

so to answer your question: yes. not only does he have to disagree with you, he has to attribute those statements to your argument. neither of which were implicit in his post.

frownland loses

Bro now you're strawmanning the definition of a strawman argument.

bro i'm just applying my wiki wisdom to crush your psuedo-logic

Guys, these strawmen are getting out of hand. They must be burned.

I thought you learned logic in a public school?

public school taught me that it's not ok to cite wiki in a formal paper but it is ok to cite wiki on an internet message board

Dude which school did you go to? My high school didn't have any tips on forum etiquette.

lake worth high school

Well they did a bad job on the whole strawman thing but I guess they're not bad in all fields.

yea, they never taught me to just impulsively say strawman whenever i disagree with someone

this is why i hate my parents for not sending me to private school

Neither did mine, I picked that gem all up on my own.

Also, suggesting that I disagree with someone just for pointing out a fallacy is a, you guessed it, strawman fallacy in itself.

This is starting to get pretty meta.

Strawmen 4 life.

yea... i thought about this before posting that but i figured since your strawman detection equipment is miscalibrated, i might as well just use real strawmen arguments since you seemingly can't tell the difference anyway

Just because I post something doesn't mean I really think that way. Strawman.
