    Youre getting angry now i think. Whatever fruit this may have borne has withered. Last salvo and ill be finished:

    I honestly want you to read about false premise, and i (selfishly) want proof that you have bettered yourself. If you don’t want to (and frankly, i don’t blame you) then would you at least pinky swear you’ll read it later?

    (Spoiler: ‘false premises’ don’t necessarily invalidate an argument, just make the ground is on shakier. ) There’s a lot to read, and a lot to learn. Here, i’ll link it. It’s real. Go check it out.

    Believe it or not, reading thru the definition will make you better at defending this point in the future. Youre gonna all the tools available if youre going with this stance, and that’s what you want, right? You’re not just coming on this forum to run your mouth, right? Your comments have purpose, yes? You will need tools to convince, and you are in dire need of a toolbox

      I’m not angry. I haven’t even thought about what you said before, even after you just mentioned it.

      I’m not doing anything you ask me to because I know what a false premise is, I know what ad hominem is, and I know what a straw man is. You haven’t actually provided any kind of argument against what I said so I know you’re not being honest. Since you’re not willing to be honest, there is no point in continuing discussion with you.

            Again, I don’t care. You’re still starving.

            Ha, This was a lot of keystrokes to not care. And yes, this is delicious dessert after my morning coffee.

                Not really. I’m a fast typer. Still don’t care.

                Not sure what is funnier, that you think this is a counterpoint or that you care that people think you don’t care about a topic you have made the greatest amount of comments in.

                  I don’t care what’s funnier. I’m just glad you’re having a laugh in an otherwise dreary life that you lead.

                  PS. There’s an actual ad-hominem.
