I'm honestly baffled here. I'm not sure what the hell this woman is going on about. It was the typical teacher/socialism post thing, and I used one of the stock responses here...and here I am.

Here it's "if you're pro-choice on abortion, why not on guns?" Or to use the anti-abortion dysphemism for the opposition, if you're pro-death on abortion, why not on guns?

In all seriousness though, that's a perfect example of the kind of person you can't argue with. She has no interest in making any actual point and instead likes to argue in what she imagines to be little morsels of ideology buttoned up in convenient little one liners. "I don't debunk the debunkers." I mean...who the gently caress posts that poo poo?

A girl I know just posted this  poo poo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKc4vduADeU. I know I've seen a rather succinct rebuttal to the "redistribute GPA" line of bullshit but can't find it.

I have to ask, what on earth is up with conservatives hating on the no bacon/pork thing when it comes to Muslims? Look at that! Who cares that they don't eat bacon? You fat greasy fucks. Also Turkey bacon > Pig bacon anyways.

Forced conversion is generally frowned upon in most major religions. It doesn't mean it doesn't happen, in Islam or otherwise. So really yeah singling out Islam for that is pretty dumb.

There have been forced conversions to Buddhism. And to top that off, there's even people who follow Jesus who hate the idea of giving money to the poor. Insane.

What is it with everybody and bacon lately? I mean, people have always loved it (I never did), but it seems like our culture's put it up on this pedestal within just the last couple of years. EDIT: Muslims have never required conversion, if only to guarantee access to that sweet, sweet dhimmi tax money.

Whenever something happens with a Muslim the crazies come out of the wood works and start saying they should water board with bacon grease and bury them in pig poo poo. This is of course after you shoot them with a pork bullet. It's kinda absurd. I suppose it's the same with red meat during Lent for Catholics though.

iamnotcreative posted:I know I've seen a rather succinct rebuttal to the "redistribute GPA" line of bullshit but can't find it. The main line of rebuttal is that there is a maximum grade achievable but there is no maximum amount of money. The disparity between the richest and poorest people is thus orders of magnitude larger than the disparity between highest grade and lowest. So the people who get As are not comparable to the people who have the most money. Also, it is easy to show that the people who work harder in school get better grades, and it is easy to show that the same is not true for money, though people try to claim there is a direct relationship there.

So the people who get As are not comparable to the people who have the most money. In this analogy, yes it is possible to get good grades by working hard, but the overwhelmingly stronger correlation is if your parents own the company that writes and scores the tests.

My new hobby is going on conservative Facebook pages, finding people who are all "I will die for my country the powder is dry the revolution is coming" and say "lol you won't do anything." It's been rewarding so far, I just wish Facebook wasn't garbage so I could be notified when someone responds.

We really need to add the GPA redistribution thing to the OP. Here was my response when a friend posted the Reagan video. It's a mish-mash of responses from this thread.quote:The analogy of wealth to academic grading is fundamentally flawed, and that's why this video doesn't work.

One of my new Facebook friends posted the "And that student was Einstein" story, the one with evil being the absence of God. People you meet at parties, apparently.  She does want a better version, though. I wonder if I should dig up one of the bear ones, or try to pastiche one myself.
