Yesterday I had the pleasure if getting
into an internet debate about equivalency. Now if you're a sane
rational person like I pretend to be most of the time, you know that
the Westboro Baptist Church are not good people. Misguided they may
be, they are also not nearly as bad as say... Chechen Muslim
terrorist who blow up local sporting events.
Because I decided to take the non
popular, but accurate stance that the WBC has never flown planes into
buildings, or strapped suicide vests onto children, I was called a
F%*#@*$ Retard. Which I think we can all agree is a pretty
reasonable and rational response to my argument.
Even with that being said I tried to
use some facts, and to my dismay the “masses” were not swayed.
So in the end I had to relent... and agree that they are pretty
equal.
Let this be a lesson to you, whenever
you debate on anything and you start to lose because you invented
some false equivalent. Just call your opponent a F%*#&@% Retard,
and be unflappable. Then brush you're shoulders off, and walk away
into the sunset.
Its also a good idea to have this
argument near sunset, otherwise you will have to stand there and be
unflappable for a lot longer than you may want.

ReplyDeletelol...
I saw the title and wondered, "Why are White Blood Cells fighting Coronal Mass Ejections?"
ReplyDeleteIt's been that sort of week.
And it's only Tuesday.
Also, I my old college roommate, who, as it turns out, "came out" after graduation, once posted a Facebook thing: "450 species display homosexual behavior, Only one has homophobia."
ReplyDeleteMy reply: "So you think gay men are the moral equivalent of monkeys?"
He deleted the post before I got the opportunity to REALLY dissect the argument.
