Know what amuses me?, People who can't argue... Options

[*Steven*]

So they resort to personal insults. Lol @ them. In my opinion, it basically says "Oh I couldn't think of anything smart or logical in response to you, so I think I'm going to go try to find something completely stupid to insult you over!"

Well, to all of you who resort to personal insults, a big "Ha ha." Oh also, it's great when the people doing the insulting don't let others know what they look like. When that happens, I either think they're
A: Ugly so they don't want to post a pic
B: Insecure
C: Lazy

Most often, I bet it's choice A or B.



Anyways :)

[dustbunny]

or they're just plain stupid.

[*karmakiller*]

What you look like has to do with how well you resort to personal insults?

I dunno, I guess it depends on what I was arguing with someone about. Usually, I don't remember that many personal things about people to make a personal insult.

And... stop making fun of ugly people like me.

[*Steven*]

Err, for instance:

X: *says something smart that shut's down Y's argument*
Y: You're so ugly no one would ever wanna tap that (even if it's a damn beautiful person).

[EddieV]

In some cases personal insults can also be part of the argument.

[*Steven*]

I'm talking about arguments that are more intellectual and not personal.

[*alovesopure*]

Well.... YOU KNOW WHAT STEVEN!?



YOU'RE TALL AND NASTY! So...there!

I'm talking about arguments that are more intellectual and not personal.

Personal assaults can lead to something having to do with someone else intellect though.

[*Steven*]

I understand that, but I'm talking about people who lose arguments or debates over some issue or morality or fact or what have you, and resort to personal insults instead of debating the debate at hand.

[*Insurmountable*]

or they just don't give a damn about this place and just want to piss people off so they resort to anything they can think of to make them mad

Thats another possibility.

But I agree, its pretty lame. Makes me think of the debate forums.

[*Sandraaa*]

I HATE WHEN PEOPLE ROLL EYES AND MAKE WEIRD FACES BECAUSE THE 'debate' ISN'T GOING IN THEIR FAVOUR!!!

Oh my God! It happens A LOT. Debating doesn't mean changing opinions / facts rather exchanging! I hate when they say 'you're not going to make me change my mind so stop trying'. Dude, just get the fcuk out.

[*souperstition*]

You see this happen around here a lot, and quite often from both sides of the argument. Pretty sad..

[*IVIike*]

it happens when people are really immature and just hang around her to piss people off. or when you reject their layout and the resort to telling you something along the lines of "omgeeee ar3 you fukkking blind thiszz lay0ut ruleszz wtf u muszt have n0o0 life" i just tend to lol when i get that

mad because someone insulted michelle?

[lilsnoopy]

So annoying, when people call you stupid or dumb just because you dont agree with them....
Or they fail to understand something you said and it went over their head
-_-"

[*stephinika*]

Yes! Oh my goodness..personal insults are whatever..but if its completely off topic from the debate or argument at hand, its just annoying.

[*Steven*]

mad because someone insulted michelle?

Oh rofl nah. Michelle is more than capable of handling herself. Also, why get mad over cB?

[*Programmer*]

hmmm....i agree

[RAWRstephishere]

Or they fail to understand something you said and it went over their head
-_-"

Agreed.

Once this guy I didnt like asked this guy to ask me what my name was, and I was like "Why do you care?" and he was like "I dont" and he and all of his started laughing..

Im just like wtf dumb asses, thats not even funny

Wouldn't you get upset though if things don't go in your favor?

[NoSex]

Yeah, argumentum ad hominem is lame.

[queen]

^ most of the logical fallacies are.

[EddieV]

Sometimes the reverse role is annoying as well, whereas two people are having personal insults each other and one person starts talking about another's intelligence. I actually see that a lot here.

[*Sandraaa*]

Wouldn't you get upset though if things don't go in your favor?

No, I won't. I'd only get upset when the person kept on missunderstanding my point. But I'd never resort to eyes rolling or weird noise making or any childish behavior of that sort. In debates, we agree to disagree not force our opinions down others' throats.

[bat19]

Yeah, argumentum ad hominem is lame.

^Well Calculatus Eliminatus to you.

Though I proceeded to call Steven a "douchebag" several times in another thread, I think I made my point across just fine with the added flair of insults. So unless you disagree, I'd say those types of situations would be the exceptions that prove the rule.

Oh also, it's great when the people doing the insulting don't let others know what they look like. When that happens, I either think they're

That's quite understandable, it does suck though when you know you're idea is the best, and people don't go by it and things go wrong, but that's a whole new story.

There is a difference between arguing from an insult and merely insulting someone. I think we can all tell the difference, jackass. It is no exception to the rule, because it has nothing to do with the rule.

[bat19]

^ Dude, there is no f**kin way you're gonna sit there and try lecturing me on insulting people. Almost all your posts in the troops thread are calling that one kid an idiot and stupid and a moron for being completely right. You're a douche, you're a f**kin retarded little pissant who's gonna die a hermit virgin and no one will go to your funeral because no one likes you. The Blair Witch Project sucked ass, ask anyone with an opinion that actually matters, e.g. anyone who isn't you.

Oh, woe is me!
You've convinced me of my evil ways!
I must convert, convert!

[*Uronacid*]

I peed in your soup Steven.

Oh, woe is me!
You've convinced me of my evil ways!
I must convert, convert!

*preforms surgical exorcism*
Look a vagina. Cool, I never saw one of those before! :D

You're comparing Hitler to Saddam Hussein.
You're comparing the German Army to... what exactly?
You f**king idiot.

You f**king idiot.

fucking idiot.

What about this one?

P.S. All your arguments suck. What "Supporting the Troops" is is really relative to the desires and wishes of the troops. If the troops want to stay, supporting them would be letting them stay. If they want to leave, supporting them would be helping them leave. It's not that hard to figure, you f**k heads.

P.S. All your arguments suck, you f**k heads.

you fuck heads.

Yeah, you never use argumentum ad hominem. You're a fuckin Angel. That's what you are, an Angel. xD

Dude, you weren't even calling him a douche bag for the argument's sake. You were doing it because he warned you, and it was lame. You weren't even debating when you did it.

[bat19]

No, I was referring to a PM argument me and steven had, where I continuosly called him a douchebag, but still made my point clear.

Yeah, you're good at stuff.
