Haha ok I'll admit that's a good one.

Although,

the humor lies in the irony.


I think you are operating with a misunderstanding of the word "irony".

It isn't Poid's doubt that makes him bad at argument.  If you think that you are probably just an irrational person who settles on having beliefs for emotional comfort. 

Poid sucks at argument when he gets caught trying to defend something of his own and out come the dictionaries.

It's an awesome debate tactic, and if you like to totally get under people's skin, or on their ignore list, you gotta learn this.

Most of you probably learned this on the playground in 6th grade, but here's a refresher....



What? Why?
How can this be true?
Can you explain this to me?
Can you prove this?
So actually, {bla bla bla}
Well, prove me wrong.
So, basically, you can't defend your statement.



It works... Yes. Even you can be successful at it.

Try it out.....


Puppies are so loveable and adorable.
What? Why?
Cuz their cute and cuddly.
How can this be true?
Well, they just are. Their puppies...
Can you explain this to me?
Well... No but most people think that puppies are cute.
Can you prove this?
Well no, But, everyone knows puppies are cute.
So, Actually {bla bla bla}
No, that's not what I'm saying. That's just not true
Well, prove me wrong.
How can I prove you wrong?
So, basically, you can't defend your statement.



I don't know much about Poid. But the OP has a pretty lousy example.

The cuteness of a puppy is supported by research. A lot of young mammals have a measurable effect on people. And if the theory is not understood, you should be able to use empirical evidence. "Everyone knows" is weak.

Call it 6th grade. It's pretty basic for a college freshman. And it shouldn't be so hard to admit you can't explain something as well.

No.  The irony is that Poid is not absolutely correct.

You posted that, genius.

You debate tactics include basically just attempting to find any possible flaw in the aesthetics of an argument without offering any input of your own. Basically you are just a function. We put in an argument and you attempt to break it apart but you don't offer anything.

It seems like you just want to be like orgone conclusion, but you've failed at it.



yeah buddy go to CIA school liek he did and learn some neuro LP and shit dawg you behind the curve fo sho
