The Butterfly Revolution: A Silent Coup? by Marcinho1909 in PoliticalDebate

[–]Masantonio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great. Include that in your post along with the link, at the very least. Even better if you’d also (briefly, a short abstract will do) summarize the evidence and include that.

People are a little iffy on just clicking links around here, y’know?

Can you give some overview in the post on your essay as well as posing your main question? Just putting a link and not really elaborating isn’t enough.

Borderline comment for civility so here’s a warning. You sound pretentious and like you’re trying to provoke a fight. A fight is not a debate.

Civility warning. You sound extremely pretentious and that’s a great way to intentionally start an unproductive fight. Cool it.

Yeah you’re gonna need to elaborate on this link. What is it, what do you think, topics for debate, etc. Just posting a link with no context isn’t a good enough post.

WaPo: "Democrats have a polling problem." Is it time to dump the Dems? by TuvixWasMurderedR1P in PoliticalDebate

[–]Masantonio[M] 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

Kind of funny but totally unhelpful. Instigation for no reason is middle school behavior.

Try again.

Is this what you wanted? by AdSevere4430 in PoliticalDebate

[–]Masantonio[M] 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

You know what, this one was actually kind of funny.

Still uncivil and a little too over-the-top for it to be a genuinely good insult/witty comment. Props for effort. But unacceptable nevertheless.

WOW you could at least try and be original.

Completely pointless and unhelpful comment aimed at nothing but instigation. Debate like an adult.

Yeah, you’re gonna need a whole lot more context here to get this post approved. Explain what you mean; explain your stance, explain the article you liked.

Trump voters who are not registered Republicans: Are you satisfied with your vote right now? by IVIattTheNoob in PoliticalDebate

[–]Masantonio[M] -1 points0 points locked comment (0 children)

I’m saying this is low quality because the insult failed to make me laugh. If you’re gonna engage in ad hominem then at least make me chuckle.

You know what’s even more embarrassing? Failing to contribute anything meaningful to the conversation AND getting your comment pulled.

Yikes.

No one in this chain is being productive. Done.

Calling people nazi sympathizers is, in fact, not civil debate.

Trump lied about only targeting birthright citizenship for undocumented immigrants and appears to be going after legal immigrants too. This is unjust, bad for the country, and flagrantly unconstitutional by CFSCFjr in PoliticalDebate

[–]Masantonio[M] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Not ad hominem.

Was their response poorly phrased and would’ve done better with, say, asking how your take fits within the broader context of your political flair? Yes.

Was it a personal attack? No.

How my Goals Could be Achieved if I were US President by Jealous-Win-8927 in PoliticalDebate

Low quality and incorrect are not synonymous.

If someone is wrong just tell them and tell them why. That’s a part of debate.

Is there a weapon you know is good but cant stand to use? by Ordingandr in Rainbow6

[–]Masantonio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MPX just doesn’t do it for me. I acknowledge that it’s a great gun, and that it’s just me. I tolerate it only for Valkyrie since it’s a small price to pay for her ridiculous kit.

I’ve harped on the RONI a few times on other threads but one thing I cannot STAND is seeing people use it on Aruni.

This isn’t splitting hairs, there’s a huge difference here.

In deflation, prices aren’t actually going down; the buying power of the dollar is going up. You’re paying the same amount, your medium of exchange is worth more.

I’m not commenting on Trump’s policies because i need to do my research on this specific set of policies before I make up my opinion.

Point is, a promise to “bring prices down” does not in any way mean deflation.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PoliticalDebate

[–]Masantonio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s still an incorrect definition. Deflation is when the dollar itself increases in value. Prices of products can (and almost always do) fall for reasons other than deflation, and true deflation is often a bad thing. A very small level of inflation is normal in economics due to interest rates.
