the favorite logic flaw for avoidance

Recommended Posts

My two favorites for avoiding discussing a topic.

1- If you want to avoid discussing a particular incident,
merely start discussing another.

2- The best one is deny the validity of the discussion by
pointing out group membership of the poster.

"Sure, it seems racist, but you can't talk about it because
you are white." :S

It seems to be used a lot. "The (insert membership) did it first." Sure, 60 years ago, somebody did something. Ok. If you want to discuss that, start your
own thread.

Using this stupid argument, nothing can ever be discussed. It is the first sure sign of a week argument.

The membership can be so broad as to be meaningless.
Country, race, ethnicity, gender...

It implies that someone is responsible for the actions
of the other members of any group that we join or
end up in. It implies their agreement with any decisions
made by those persons.

Yes, but you're a skydiver. What the fuck do you know about logic?



I love that. Like, when someone accuses me of lacking common sense, my first thought, what's your point? I'm a skydiver.
Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
