Topic: "Don't be so close-minded."
Mr. Parcelan
posted 09-14-2003 05:45:50 AM
The new warcry of the morons that take pride in being a legally-recognized retard. The moan of the fools that are ridiculed for their fetish of humping wall scrolls. The crying of general idiots who would rather not face the awful truth that their entire existance is a scar on humanity.

It's not always close-mindedness. It rarely is. Sometimes an idiot really is just an idiot.

The sooner my words are force-fed into the brains of everyone, the happier we'll be.

There have been several people lately who, when losing an argument badly, whip out the stale, "You'd agree with me if you weren't so closed-minded," as a way to avoid actually defending their point of view.

A "tu quoque" fallacy if I'm not mistaken, yes?

the funny thing is it never seems to work both ways cosndierign hwo easily it could be reversed to "well maybe you should be open minded enough to acept the posibility that what your saying is utter bullshit"

Regret calamities if you can thereby help the sufferer; if not, attend to your own work and allready the evil begins to be repaired

The fact that people often call it when it doesn't apply doesn't mean that people aren't often actually close minded. Stupid people use zounds of different arguments, this is just one of them and not even the most frequently used.
Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Yes, it is. A specific instance of ad hominem arguing.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

oho so clevar...the argument everyone and their grandma has tossed at Lyinar and myself for the past few days. Get a grip, Jens. Or at least get rid of the book of pre-fab barbs you cast. You're about as witty as a clubbed baby seal and about as sharp as a wet blanket. If you mindlessly beat the horse any deader, I fear you may replace Delphi as the "most pointlessly whiny bitch" of the boards.

I think it was you....it was a link to a posting on some Star Wars board iirc, could be confusing you with someone though.
