| ... this discussion has derailed from its original topic. Wasn't that your plan all along? By introducing those spurious diversionary claims of your own (hypocrisy much?) you seem to have successfully diverted this thread from its original topic. Congratulations. Actually, no. I simply realized tha... |

| @Fnord: Wouldn't that make you just as bad for perpetuating BS and falsehoods, like you are doing in this thread? Where is your moral high ground, because you seem to be standing in the same swamp you claim Trump is. Ahh ... a Classic "Ad Hominem" with a "Tu Quoque" thrown in ..... |

| That's Appeal to Ignorance, Appeal to Emotion, a Red Herring, circular logic, Bandwagon Fallacy and a Hasty Generalization. Man you really packed those fallacious argument tactics in that one. Or to put it another way, PROVE IT, not by over-inflated media coverage, but by actual, peer-reviewed scie... |

| The biggest point of contention seems to be whether or not wearing a MAGA-hat is equivalent to having a swastika tattooed on your forehead. No, it's that our worst fears about MAGA being a racist dog whistle have been confirmed by the behavior of those who wear it. That's Appeal to Ignorance, Appea... |

| Well then , I will 'Appeal to Hypocrisy' and point out you are using 'Appeal to Ignorance' And me posting a list of fallacious argument techniques isn't actually hypocrisy nor is it an appeal to ignorance. Instead it is me pointing out that there are many arguments being used(mostly by goldfish) th... |

To an extent, yes, though it also seems to be about the pleasure certain users seem to be getting by putting down these kids and using fallacious arguments to ... |

| Almost NO ONE is going to watch the news and then go fact check everything reported. Like WTF? It's reporters' jobs to present the facts, not just make s**t up. Are we supposed to watch some news about war and then go fly to a conflict zone and see if it's accurate? Like get f*****g real. That's yo... |

| :roll: The kid isn't autistic. He's a racist fake Christian. (or at least likes to wear their hats & present himself as such right down to the smug look of superiority on his face.) How do you know that? Last I checked, I don't have 'Autistic' written on my forehead. Would've saved me a lot of ... |

| ^^^so you are saying that if a smart-alecky little twit sneered at you and used dominant body language at you, you wouldn't be offended? you're a better person than I then. I guess I am. Again, you are assuming the intent based on an out of context video clip. The video I watched was 36 minutes lon... |

| If you make it a point to do some fact-checking, the media companies that ran that story ended up being proven wrong by a video of the entire incident. I will not link the video here because there are many racial slurs in the video being thrown at the students, and I don't want to promote such overt... |

It was suggested that I consider this by my counselor, likely because I keep showing up to my appointment with her bearing article-length papers I wrote explaining and talking about a bunch of things, mostly about au... |

| Hi, I am new to Wrong Planet, and have only recently(past 3-4 months) really started delving into the world of Autism. So I will apologize in advance if I accidentally step on a social landmine. If ya'll want to know a bit more about me, ask here, I guess. Oh, I guess if it wasn't obvious, I am a Br... |
