church of global warming - there is no such thing, it is a filament of someone's imagination.

google is not God - noone believes such a thing, it would be filament as well.

magical property of creating energy out of nothing - noone believes such a thing, it would also be a filament of someone's imagination.

the election wasn't stolen - there are many people that believe it was but this is also a filament of someone's imagination.

if someone has too many filaments, let me suggest that they see Dr. Frasier Crane or Dr. Niles Crane, or maybe Roz in seattle. Actually they are aren't real people, just filaments. They aren't real psychiatrists either but maybe if one uses one's imagination ...

Question - how many filaments does it take to make a delusion?

The Christian church is not a building, It is a group of people with a common faith, with a common goal of converting more people to said faith and changing lives. Exactly the same as the Church of Global Warming.

Problem is, there are people like you that believe only Google and God have all the correct answers.

If your religion says temperature can increase without additional energy, then you most certainly do believe such a thing.

All religions are based on some initial circular argument with arguments extending from that.
The Church of Global Warming is a religion. It is a fundamentalist based religion. It is not a light bulb.

You treat Google like God. The Church of Google is a real thing also. It is not a light bulb.

It was. You can't make the evidence disappear by referring to filaments or light bulbs.

Deuteronomy 32:17 - They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

2 Peter 2:1 - But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 - Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Revelation 19:20 - And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

This is a fallacy within a fallacy. Nested fallacies! Nice.

Your false premise fallacy, i.e. that there is something wrong with Into the Night's education, itself contains Fallacy 12, i.e. Accusation of Deficient Education or Pretense Someone is Unable to Understand

@Into the Night - I noticed that the Official Mantra List contains no "false premise" fallacy, i.e. an argument by which the very wording implies, or explicitly states, a premise that is false, as in keepit's fallacy above. In this case, he doesn't merely imply the false premise, he openly states it, but that's irrelevant, and the stated false premise happens to be one on the list.

The Mantra you are looking for in this case is 22h. He is combining it with Mantra 22i.

He is simply saying 'something is wrong'. He won't state what. That's a void argument.

The same thing happens when 'Trump is a criminal', without stating what the crime was or the law or statute that was broken. A void argument fallacy. Mantra 22h.

However, I've found it's time to update my list to include elements coming from the Church of Covid, election fraud, and the hoplophobic among us.

The List is getting larger. Many of these idiots are attempting to change the Constitution to discard it.

Indeed it is... It is quite an impressive list of mantras. It goes to show just how common mindlessly parroting fallacious BS really is...

My 'Lispy Leftist List of Linguistic Lunacy' keeps growing as well, and I am likewise impressed by that list. That list goes to show just how many NPCs there are, mindlessly performing buzzword.exe ...

Well, the only reason the List is expanding is because of the introduction of the Church of Covid. I should've expanded it long ago for the hoplophobic twits. I also haven't touched it since the fall of the United States or any of the events leading up to it.

Who takes over the task of thinking for you when a Google search reveals conflicting "expert" opinion?

Example Google search on Covid being airborne:
Experts are divided on how often the virus spreads through the airborne route and how much it contributes to the pandemic

Google sucks! My kitchen stove burned up yesterday. Figured it was time to replace it this time (over 30 years old...). The broiler element burned like a fuse. Nothing I could do, but watch... I could probably find a replacement, but it was tough last time. Lot of other issues, that weren't worth fixing. Anyhow, I Googled, hoping to find a simple/basic oven. Google, kept pushing a bunch of over-complicated crap, probably barely last the warranty. Why do you need WIFI or Alexa? Pretty stupid to leave the stove on unattended. At least be in the house, to hear smoke alarms... WTF does 'energy-effecient' mean, with a stove? You convert electricity to thermal energy to cook food. Still takes the same energy. And good god, if you are wasting a lot of escaped heat, you'll probably burn down a house or two. Digital temperature control, convection fans... Just more crap to fail, and need replacing, if you can find parts. Most likely, only available through their service department, and installed by their 'technicians'. Most like cost over half, of what the damn thing cost to begin with.

Haven't you noticed that the old folks think differently than modern man? Watch old cowboy movies and you'll get an inkling of what i'm talking about.
You're right that you have detected that i don't think conservatively but nevertheless i've arrived at many conservative views.

Also, re your claim that i don't think for myself. As i've said, i have several conservative views. Can you tell the forum some of your liberal views if you have any or are you pigeonholed into strictly conservative thinking?

No, you aren't... You are totally DEPENDENT (on "authoritative sources" to do your thinking FOR you).

There's always time to start doing your own thinking and to start voting for conservatives!


keepit wrote:

Define "you young folks". --- "Thinking differently" would require you to be thinking in the first place, something that you don't do because you outsource it to "authoritative sources".

Define "old folks". Define "modern man". No coherent thought presented.

That will solve nothing. You need to present coherent thoughts.

I have detected that you don't think AT ALL. You outsource your thinking to "authoritative sources".

keepit wrote:

You don't think, therefore you haven't arrived at ANY views. You simply parrot the views of "authoritative sources". There's good reason for using the term "NPC" with regard to such people.

It's not that people think any differently, liberals, just don't care who knows what they think anymore. They don't think they've decayed decent morals and values enough, to come out of the 'closet'. There dirty little secrets, aren't whispers and giggles anymore, but demands for equality, and acceptance. Openly preaching socialism, and other immoral things, use to get them a beating, or worse.

If there is an allegation it can be "proven" in court. That is to the satisfaction of the court. When something, like election fraud, cannot be proven in court it is probably not true.

PEER REVIEW in scientific research

Peer reviewed scientific publications. In every branch of science and technology there is a peer review process where work can be published. Fellow scientists review the work and methodology and judge not if they agree with the conclusions but if they find the work competent, and if proper procedures were followed.

gun rights,

The word 'gun' does not appear anywhere in the Constitution. The word is 'Arms'. That means ANY weapon. It can be a baseball bat, a knife of any kind or style (including swords and various switchblades), any type of projectile weapon such as a crossbow, longbow, compound bow, any type of gun (including fully automatic actions, and including a magazine capacity of any size), any type of artillery (including cannon, mobile artillery such as tanks), any type of explosive (including nuclear bombs), or any type of rocket (including black powder, perchlorate or chlorate based formulas, and liquid fuels), or any other weapon.

You have already argued for limits (bans) on certain types of guns.

keepit wrote:

Unconstitutional. The federal government is specifically prohibited from curtailing free speech.

Who decides whether something is 'misinformation'? You? Me? Some other random shmoe that happens to hold a college degree? The government?

That said, social media sites (including this one) enjoy the protections of Title 47, $230. This law protects social media sites from the opinions expressed by their users (the users themselves may face slander charges though!).

The moment a site imposes their own opinion in the name of the users, by either controlling their users opinions, or treating users unfairly due to their opinion (including dereferencing them, banning them, or limiting their access), they have LOST THE PROTECTION of $230. They are open to misrepresentation and slander lawsuits, and they should be sued.

The only exceptions are those actions used to keep the site free of spam, porn, breaking the law (only constitutional laws), slander, or posts that serve no purpose (denial of service attack...what a troll does) other than to harass or stalk.

People are free to leave Facebook for something like Parler (an equivalence type of service with no censorship), leave Youtube for something like Rumble (a video playback service with no censorship), leave Twitter for something like Gab (a twitter like service that has no censorship).

And people are doing just that. Facebook and Twitter is failing financially. They are quickly becoming as irrelevant as the printed newspaper.

Both Facebook and Twitter are open to slander suits as well as misrepresentation suits. They have both lost the protections of $230.

GoFundMe is open to lawsuits and criminal charges of fraud. They have collected money are are withholding it, not allowing the fundee to receive payments, and not giving funders their money back.

Fortunately, it too has been replaced by other crowd funding sites that do not censor.

The question am I, or are they, perceiving reality, is a good one.

Our society has addressed this issue:

The RULE OF LAW

If there is an allegation it can be "proven" in court. That is to the satisfaction of the court. When something, like election fraud, cannot be proven in court it is probably not true.

The existence of evidence does not require a court.
You cannot just wish the evidence of election fraud away.

PEER REVIEW in scientific research

Peer reviewed scientific publications. In every branch of science and technology there is a peer review process where work can be published.

Consensus is not used in science. Mantra 36a. There is no Elite voting body in science. A theory is not required to be published.

No such test. There is no voting bloc in science.

Science is a set of falsifiable theories. The only requirement for any theory of science is that it be falsifiable.

So what process/method/mechanism would be appropriate/effective in your view?

In the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA how should something like that get figured out?

A crime...hmmmm...how could the commission of a crime be established beyond a reasonable doubt...?

Got to be something in our great country for that one.

No convictions here:

Convicted of voter fraud!!! (it does happen):

If you have a better way, other than the rule of law, I'd love to hear it.

If so for what?

Are you kidding me? Are you really going to rehash your argument that We the People shouldn't think for ourselves and instead should adopt the opinions the government (e.g. court) directs us to believe?

I bet your argument hasn't improved any.

It sounds like you're 100% party line although i'm not sure which party.
Nevertheless, someone that is 100% party line doesn't think for them selves.

I do not support any political party. Both major parties here in the States are corrupt beyond repair (and Canada has the same issue).

Here in the States, the strategy of addressing this issue is to "cleanse" the Republican Party of all the RINOs within it (for example, in Washington's 3rd Congressional District, the goal is to cause Joe Kent (MAGA-WA) to defeat Jaime Beutler (Uniparty-DC) in the primary election (and then cause Joe to win the general election).

In Canada, the strategy of addressing this issue is to form a new political party altogether (called the People's Party of Canada). The PPC is Canada's version of the "MAGA movement".

I am a Conservative (and I am unified with the MAGA movement) ... I am NOT a Republican, even though I have exclusively voted for Republicans ever since I have been eligible to vote.

Ron Johnson (MAGA-WI) has my full support and vote for DC Senator come November. I will also make sure to vote for Kevin Nicholson (MAGA-WI) for State Governor in our upcoming primary election because I do NOT want Rebecca Kleefisch to win it (since she was endorsed by our worthless RINO State Assembly leader Robin Vos, and because Robin Vos told Kevin Nicholson to not run for Governor... **** Robin Vos... Kevin Nicholson has my full support now).

Apparently auto insurance doesn't fall within your "anti mandates" stance, eh? Who are you to command me to purchase auto liability insurance?

There is no such law. It is perfectly legal to holler 'fire' in a theatre.

This alone makes you a flaming liberal. You wish to censor opposing viewpoints.

Indeed. GoFundMe has dug their own grave with how they rejected the Trucker Freedom campaign but were perfectly fine with the BLM "mostly peaceful protest" campaign. It is criminal what they did with regard to "withholding funds and requiring a request for refund or else the money goes wherever THEY want it to go". People got pissed off about that and are choosing to instead do charge backs because that will cost GoFundMe money for each charge back. GoFundMe subsequently changed their policy and are now going to automatically return the funds (instead of forcing people to request for a return), probably because of all the charge backs.

The Trucker Freedom campaign has since moved over to GiveSendGo and has already raised well over $5 million, making it the largest campaign that GiveSendGo has ever had on their platform. In fact, over $4 million of that amount was raised in the first 24 hours alone. Between all of the people wanting to donate (and liberal bots causing havoc), the servers have been overwhelmed, but that's to be expected and is being addressed.

Then, the Trudeau Government, in all of their stupidity, got super pissy about Americans donating to the cause, which obviously caused A BUNCH of Americans to either start donating to it or even to "double down" and donate ANOTHER round of money to the cause. You don't tell freedom loving Americans to NOT do something, dude... They'll just double down on it.

itn,
Your interpretations of the constitution don't ring true to me.
Interpretations have changed through the years, sometimes based on the scotus' view of necessity and expediency.

Just because i agree with some censorship doesn't make me a flaming liberal. I wouldn't want to be a liberal. AOC is full of it if you ask me.

Try to calm down.

Do you welcome my right to make all my posts?

I just read some of your recent posts and it sounds to me that you are an AMATEUR.

Gas,
Words don't start civil wars. Weapons do. Who ever fires first starts it.
It's kind of like guns don't kill people, people do.
This might become clearer if russia and ukraine start fighting. The difference between words and guns as a trigger won't seem very relevant though, once the fighting starts.
I don't think china will be loyal to russia. china is loyal to itself. I think we should become friends with russia someday. We might need them. i wouldn't give them comfort right now though, until we stop being enemies.

You said, "many good men have fought and died for you right to say stupid shit."
Were you one of them?
