Interesting list and honestly...great examples...

I also noticed how almost every politician (repubs and conservs included) and MSM agency is guilty of all 11 of those every second their mouth is open...

Fact is, its extremely hard to be convincing to the populace and not use some of those listed "tactics"....people are so conditioned to being swayed by those tactics (because we live in a propaganda sustained society) for so many years now that if you don't use them...people just don't "get" what your trying to say...

I see these tactics being used and get annoyed as well...unfortunately I know that I also "unknowingly" probably use some of these tactics as well...they are that ingrained into our debate culture its almost involuntary...

good post though...

My top pet peeve is someone who says they have 10 (as in TEN, or one higher than nine) petty complaints and then lists ELEVEN.




FINALLY!!!! I wondered how long it would go... Well, you've discovered my little "joke"...

You get the chocolate factory.

I generally have a nice time on here. UNTIL some jerk is a jerk to me when Im attempting to be nice even though they are a jerk and then I get a jerky mod response.Ive resolved not to be nice anymore.. and when called on it I will forward the private message I received.


It is funny how some can say whatever they want, but some can say nothing horrible at all and be threatened with a post ban. Must be a conspiracy.


Fallacies.. fallacies.. there are a LOT of fallacies.


You're avatar is hot. You can be a jerk to me, and I like jerky - tough to chew but it sure is yummy!

Can I send a private message to your avatar or will it be forwarded because I'm being a jerk?

You're not very nice btw.


LOL!! I wasnt the jerk, I was the "behavior not becoming an illustrious ATS member" person... the other guy was the jerk. Im soft and squishy.

Youre not nice either. Im gonna Foe you.. dont tempt me. Then there will be that whole stalking thing and the restraining orders.. court appearances.. itchy electronic ankle monitors that dont match ANYTHING in my closet...


I feel like saying something whitty and coy now... How about "the game is afoot!"

Nothing says I

Use a better example than "Obama is a Marxist", because he is indeed a Marxist, and there is almost 4 years of economic, redistributive proof to back it up.


You missed the point. One ill-truth about him does not discredit all things he says.

Example: Obama the dirty Marxist days "GNCNEW is the sexiest poster on ATS."

You can't ignore that simply because he wears Karl underwear.

Sigh... What a boring "well reasoned" post. Especially because you utterly agreed with me... I'll go yawn some more now.

P.s.
Thanks, appreciate it, and I get what your saying about our society... Very true - maybe we are all just well trained?

Excellent and well thought out rant

I thought you gave us a bonus rant with number 11


I truly love the TPTB arguments because WE THE PEOPLE are truly the TPTB. We can exercise our right to vote and vote out of office any politician who does not listen to his constituents but too many people don't pay any attention to what is going on in Washington.

In November you will have the chance to be TPTB and exercise your right to vote....So go exercise your power !!!!!

Well color me confused. Your ambiguous statement leaves much to imagination.

Or was that the point? To make an unsubstantiated and undefinable claim that shows you dot like my shoes?

I dont only post rants, just the occasional one here and there...

So you're saying I should stop coming here because one of my 100's of brilliant posts wasn't to your liking? Hmm, seems a bit unfair to me!

Hundreds of brilliant posts hmmmm,Be aware of yourself so you know you exist

You seem to be quite the dandy. It's not really working for ya brother. You are trying too hard to sound smart. It is clear to see that you are a full body hair growing big feeted cave dwelling being.

I'm not sure if it's hundreds or tens... Inget those darn zeros interposed all the time.

And my ego is a direct (and proportionally accurate) reflection of my....

Wait for it

Cock-e-ness.

Hahaha!

Oh, I've got a cramp from laughing.
