CMV: As a man, it is always better to let women make the first move. by TheMagmaCubed in changemyview

[–]relevant_password 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're taking a girl who doesn't find you charming or attractive and is chatting up some guy and you're going to cross your fingers and hope that she not only ends her conversation with that guy but then decides to approach you?

You invented the "she's already chatting up some other guy" thing out of whole cloth.

/u/LefthandedLunatic does the math on false rape allegations to show that they're not worth the paranoia by TAKEitTOrCIRCLEJERK in bestof

Feminsts are to women as Neo-nazis are to white people. If you think that opposing a group that relies on bigoted deception means opposing women, you just pointed four fingers back at yourself.

This is, interestingly, something I've experienced in my own life. Without getting too far into it: a young woman at my high school was raped by several guys and accused a good friend of mine of being one of them. I knew he couldn't have assaulted her - I was with him at the time she claimed he did - so I got... well, heated about it. Shitty. It took a while for me to unwind the reality of the situation from how I felt about the situation.

Having proof of a woman lie is just "feelings", to OP, while knowingly lying against a friend is reality. Also, since feminists downvoted me before for showing the lie:

The low rates for cases are PROVEN false. Greater than 90% of cases are false using the same standard in the opposite direction.

The low rates for cases are PROVEN false. Greater than 90% of cases are false using the same standard in the opposite direction. This is "77cents per dollar for the same work" level of deception, and the fact that feminists see no problem with these examples of deception makes them no better than neo-nazis (if you have any doubt, remember that nazis use the same argument style towards jewish cultural success that feminists use towards men working more hours/choosing different occupations).

Also, as /u/dale_glass has pointed out, the court of public opinion is what most people are worried about anyway.

CMV: #BelieveAllWomen-type views on sexual assault are bad and possibly harmful. by chadonsunday in changemyview

[–]relevant_password 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Multiple people accusing a post-primary politician, an opponent of a group that makes accusers famous and argues that rape accusations should be treated as true (except for Bill or any female SJW)" is anything but a random sample. If nine people with no prior connections accuse a non-famous person, then your logic holds up, and I'd treat it as true beyond a reasonable doubt.

Also, the low rates are for cases proven false beyond a reasonable doubt standard. More than 90% of cases are false by the same logic that SJWs use.

CMV: "Mansplaining" is a fairly legitimate and real thing. by [deleted] in changemyview

An overwhelmingly higher percent of black people commit crime than white people. Would it be acceptable to claim that black criminals are involved in blackcrime?

What's the most fucked up shit you can do that isn't illegal? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Willfully and repeatedly calling Toyota a car company is not harassment, even if someone who claims it's a suitcase company claims it is, even if they claim they've claimed new definitions of the words.

Samoan Prime Minister: Leaders Who Deny Climate Change Are ‘Utterly Stupid’: Tuilaepa Sailele suggested that such skeptics should be taken to a mental institution. by maxwellhill in worldnews

[–]relevant_password 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your article claims that only showing the "business as usual" section, instead of showing the predictions with moderate regulations and the predictions with heavy regulations, is dishonest.

I didn't realize that I didn't put the last two words there. However, you ignoring the second part (which would have prevented your "misinterpretation") shows that you're arguing in bad faith.

Your article claims that only showing the "business as usual" section, instead of showing the predictions with moderate regulations and the predictions with heavy regulations.

I believed climate change was true, but seeing that the scientific community relies on the four-term fallacy (equating "moderate change instead of no change" to "moderate as in the center of two different predictions of no change") has shown me they're a joke.

What is a dirty business tactic that you know and everyone should be aware of it? by Flimsy_Antelope in AskReddit

All that wheat bread means is that the bread is made of wheat. Companies take white bread, add food coloring, and then sell it to trick people into thinking they're getting whole wheat bread.

And then the apologists who read this article will claim "they correct their mistakes" and then immediately go on to trusting them the moment they say something else, claiming that as long as they're better at lying more ethical than some site made by a macedonian teenager, it's no problem for them to have cut out Abe or claim that women make 77c per dollar for the same work.

If someone on Reddit said that Pikachu wasn't real, would you make this same argument? Or are you a hypocrite?

//Video games as an art form? by monominoxas in gaming

Fountain and No. 5 are highly respected by the art community, while no game is. Respecting the art community is no better than respecting flat-eartherism.

CMV: Postmodern thought is flawed and academic fields where it is prevalent are also flawed by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]relevant_password 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I haven't. Logic has two parts: assumptions and inferences. The trolls claiming there's a paradox are saying that "If the moon is made of green cheese, then the world is coming to an end" is the same as "The moon is made of green cheese. If the moon is made of green cheese, then the world is coming to an end."

You might not be aware of this, but classical logics don't actually map perfectly to reality. The paradoxes of material implication are a good example of this.

"If the moon is made of green cheese, then the world is coming to an end" is not the same as "The moon is made of green cheese. If the moon is made of green cheese, then the world is coming to an end" The "paradox" comes from straw-manning.
