Abortion

pale is a master at claiming foul, but seems to be blissfully unaware of how often and viciously he belittles others, including many on his own side who commit the unpardonable offense of not agreeing with him 100%. For example, pale skewered Bob, who was 95% in agreement with him.

The right of a woman to control her own body and the contents thereof.


"contents thereof"

Do you mean like when she hides cocaine in there and tries to cross the border?

Or if a woman were to grasp my finger inside of her fist would she have the right to sever her hand at the wrist even though my finger would be a casualty?

The cocaine is not a part of the woman's body, my finger is not a part of the woman's body, and a living human being inside her womb is not a part of her body.

I would no doubt be posting on this thread more often but Pale hits the nail on the head every time in his arguments.

Yes, Pale does complain when there are ad hominem attacks. These kinds of attacks do not logically advance a position.

What Pale does is to belittle people while simultaneously making a logical argument.

He has argued that as long as one makes a logical argument that is ok. He is consistent anyway.

I would prefer that pale be gentle in his arguments feeling that more bystanders would be persuaded. Though it would be illogical for bystanders to be persuaded based on how nicely he makes his points I do believe that will be a factor nevertheless. Were the bystanders purely logical they would have no choice but to admit that Pale is just right.
 
CRS...re-read my posts# 1042, 1048, 1051, once you kept telling me that my POV was irrelevant...you closed the discussion, so don't worry, your still not on the same page as I am about when life begins and you will NEVER EVER BE...so we agree to disagree.

Your post 1042: You argue that because the law can't stop a person from doing a thing, that it is pointless to have law that makes a thing illegal. Clearly flawed reasoning. Do you argue that we should strike all law since no law can prevent someone from doing a thing if they wish? Name one law, just one that has entirely eradicated the behavior that it outlawed. If you are arguing for the eradication of all law then say so. If you are in acceptance of other laws that can not, and do not preven the behavior they outlaw, then by defintion you are in opposition to your own argument. Of what value is such a point of view?

Your post 1048:

"Malice intent/aggressive assault against another 'human being' is what/why the laws are established...I do not believe as you do that the fetus is a 'human being'...for me they haven't been born nor have they taken a life sustaining breath. BUT that's IMO and there will never be any change in that!"

As we have established, it is not "my" opinion that a fetus is a human being. Enough credible evideince has been presented to establish it as a fact. Your complete inability to provide any credible evidence at all suggesting otherwise puts you in a position of arguing an article of faith against hard credible science that states explicitly that you are wrong.

Suggesting that I am arguing my opinion or my believe rather than simply stating a series of facts does not make it so and as such, your argument is dishonest. Of what value is a dishonest argument?

The remainder of the post was just a series of ad hominem attacks and as such really need no rebuttal. You claim that our logic parts ways when the reality is that logic and proof part ways with your faith and since you are unwilling to give up your faith even when hard evidence proves you wrong, your point of view is of no value.

Your post 1051:

"And here is where the rubber meets the road: you can't discuss the difference in opinions...due to your repetitive assumptions that you, and you alone {sans the cheerleader that applauds your every breath} have the knowledge and the factual documentation to prove that I'm wrong and you are justified in telling me that I am Irrelevant. "

Again, you make the claim that we have a difference in opinion when, in fact, you have never heard my opinion. All I have given you is a series of facts which I have substantiated with ample credible material to leave no doubt to their accuracy. You have presented opinion which has been shown to be in direct opposition to known fact. Of what value do you believe such an opinion to be?

The rest is no more than an ad hominem. Never have I suggested that "I alone" am privy to the facts. Anyone has access to them and I see them used by other posters regularly. In the exchange between you and I, I alone am willing to accept facts and argue my position based on them. You disregard all fact in favor of your faith. Of what value do you believe such an argument to be?

And I never said that you were irrelavent. I said that your argument is and since it is in direct opposition to the facts, it can be nothing but irrelavent unless you place some particular value on dishonesty.

I'm PRO-CHOICE and I do not force my POV onto anyone else.

Of course you do. Your point of view has resulted in the deaths of 40 million children and counting in this country alone. The statement in and of itself is a logical fallacy in that you must beg the question and assume that unborns are nobody. Can you offer up any rational argument or proof that supports that assumption? Of course you can't so of what value is it?

The Supreme Court won't be reviewing this issue this year, next year...most likely not for the next 10 years...but this won't change your hyped up attempt to continue to preach your thoughts around the forum. Continue On!!!

Can you prove any of that or is it just more logical fallacy of begging the question on your part?

Poking back at the simplistic belittling that goes on around here is what we do...they poke fun/ridicule and when they get it served right back then it is my fault...NO, I DON'T THINK SO!!! You've just served up another OPINION about me as you have when you keep telling me that I'm IRRELEVENT...so your slurs on my personality and opinion is just as poignant!

As you can see, I have not expressed an opinion about you. I have stated a series of observations and supported them by disproving your arguments. You have no idea what my opinion of you is and I doubt that you ever do as it is not relevantt to the argument. If you want to be relevant, then make relavent arguments. Make arguments that you can prove and substantiate with credible evidence and hard fact. When your opponent is dealing in fact, you must also deal in fact if you wish to be relevant

Unsubstantiated opinion that flies in the face of corroborated fact is, by its very definition, irrellevant.

Refer to the first paragraph of my response...in case your CRS is operating at high speed today.

I understand your arguments perfectly. Perhaps better than you understand them yourself as I am easily able to point out the logical fallacies upon which they are built. Or are you also aware of them and are being deliberately dishonest?

Someone else who mistakes goading for personal attack. I never attack an individual in lieu of making a rational argument in defense of my position. If I am unable to defend my position and switch to personal attacks, then I have lost as is the case with you. I understand your displeasure at being proven wrong, but that is not my fault. You have had the same access to information that I have had but you chose to disregard it in favor of fantasys of your own fabrication.

Bob was wrong and was proven wrong then he ran away. He is the victim of pro choice propaganda and doesn't even know it. Whether we agree or disagree on other topics related to abortion is irrelevant to the issue of plan B pills. In that, he was wrong and made a fool of himself and eventually painted himself into a corner that he could only extricate himself from by running away. Exactly how much respect do you suppose that deserves?

I have tried gentle and it just doesn't work for me. I am a scientist, not a poet. I understand that it is a put off for some, generally those who are on the other side of an argument with me but I make no pretense to be anthing other than what I am. When I tried gentle it came off as disingenuous and my arguments suffered terribly. If one is turned off by brutal honesty, then perhaps one isn't that intersted in the truth anyway.

So you think belittling people differs from ad homninem attacks? Dr Who, you ablity to split hairs astounds me. You would make a excellent Dalek.

Of course it is. By definition it is different. There is no hair splitting there and if you took a moment to actually learn what an ad hominem is, you wouldn't come across as not knowing what you are talking about. Ad hominem is an attack on the person in lieu of a rational argument or defense of your postion. You never see me simply attack the individual instead of making a rational argument or rebuttal.

From the nizkor project:

Description of Ad Hominem
Translated from Latin to English, "Ad Hominem" means "against the man" or "against the person."

An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of "argument" has the following form:


Person A makes claim X.
Person B makes an attack on person A.
Therefore A's claim is false.
The reason why an Ad Hominem (of any kind) is a fallacy is that the character, circumstances, or actions of a person do not (in most cases) have a bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim being made (or the quality of the argument being made).

Example of Ad Hominem

Bill: "I believe that abortion is morally wrong."
Dave: "Of course you would say that, you're a priest."
Bill: "What about the arguments I gave to support my position?"
Dave: "Those don't count. Like I said, you're a priest, so you have to say that abortion is wrong. Further, you are just a lackey to the Pope, so I can't believe what you say."


Review the arguments put forward by your side. A great deal of personal attack but very little rational argument in defense of your position. When your arguments are shot down, you simply attack the person. That is an entirely different thing than goading an opponent while still making rational arguments.
 
and what positive contribution does goading people contribute to the discussion? Are you interested in enlightening those you are engaged in discussion with, or merely 'winning'? Are the people you engage in discussion with merely foils, to be used as aids in presenting your arguments?

Since it is clear that you are not a thinking person and as such are impervious to fact and will never change your position, what difference does it make? Do you believe you deserve some sort of special respect because you reject fact in favor of your fantasy?

A person like yourself can not be enlightened because you have no interest in being enlightened. You don't engage in the argument because you know the facts. You engage in the argument in spite of the facts with the express hope that perhaps you may be able to fool someone who knows less than you into believing you. When it becomes clear that you are not going to be able to fool your opponent, you switch to ad hominem.

It may be that your great purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.
 
Why don't you post on Volconvo any more? They still have an abortion thread running, the same one you posted on to Starboy and others. You apparently were never banned.

If your last post was not an ad hominem attack, then was it purely a personal attack? LOL.

This is sort of strange, I have seen you stand by and see others who share your political view attack without any reason other than they felt like being mean and you said and did nothing except on some occasions added in with attacks of your own.

Yet here you are complaining that Pale Rider “attacks” but every single time he gives facts to back up his argument.

To say something like your opinion is irrelevant in light of the facts is just a fact. Opinion does not ever trump fact. Its not even an insult its just a cold way of saying something factual.

To say something like ... A person like yourself can not be enlightened because you have no interest in being enlightened is probably more of a personal attack but at the same time if a person has openly admitted that they rejected fact over opinion the statement is correct and a logical conclusion...

I find it strange that you are upset at what you feel are attacks from Pale Rider but you have said nothing about others who have attacked for no reason without provocation and the attacks had nothing to do with the argument at hand.

In the end, I agree with you if your thinking is ...... We should ALL be more polite to each other

DITTO...you have so systemically typed exactly what I've been thinking about your ongoing diatribe on this topic :eek:

All you've managed to do is to reinforce my view and thought processes; that it is my body, and it is my choice and you nor your hyped up malingering constant B.S. posts won't change my opinion/belief, POV on that.
I have a firm grasp on what the Supreme Court has ruled on and the knowledgeable legal brains that have waged that verbal war of words...so I'll just leave it in their more then capable hands to continue to do the RIGHT THING...;)

You sir need to get a life or a soap box and preach from the nearest corner of your choice!!!

ODD, STRANGE, CURIOUS, PONDERING THE SAME THING :confused:

You stomp into the topic and admonish me and others when they were going toe to toe/head to head with BOOBtheBuilder and yet you never said a word to him??? Yet, you felt the need to continue your childish negative hits on my 'REPUTATION' and leaving those immature, snidely, whiny comments about my posts...when all you had to do was ignore them but NOOOOO, not the martor/monitor/BIB of this community!!!

'HYPOCRITE' and you wear it well!!! :D

You have no idea who I give positve or negative rep points to. You assume many things but you do not know what I do or do not do. I have on at least 3 occasions said in forum that Bob was over the top, once to Sam and Sara and I can not remember who the other one was to and once to Bob him self, not counting things said in PM's. But at the same time its hard to tell someone to tone it down when another person is blasting them and getting away with it.

I do not expect you to understand what I am talking about, you seem to feel that attacking people on personal levels for the fun of it is ok.
