I knew I'd heard it before, so I found the Snopes page to email to him after I got back to my desk. New thing I see new is "ya can't trust snopes. It's run by shithead lieberals." Aka "your source doesn't validate what I say so it's obviously wrong and you can't use it as proof."

 Going to go through every last one of these: Adam Lanza: Emotionally disturbed kid with mental problems, His mother though seemed to be a bit of a gun nut, and seemed to feed off "right wing" propaganda (Alex Jones) about December 21, 2012 Virginia Tech Shooter (Seung-Hui Cho): Emotionally disturbed kid with mental problems, No remote sign of what his politics are, though it could be argued that his parents could be Republicans due to heavily involvement in a church. James Eagan Holmes: Emotionally disturbed kid with mental problems, Grew up in the middle class, and was involved with a church. Again, could be argued that he could be from a "republican" background. Jared Lee Loughner: Emotionally disturbed kid with mental problems, made very Libertarian like comments about the Gold Standard, etc in class. Ron Paul fan. So, no, not one of those was a democrat (Quite the opposite for at least two of them). What the hell is wrong with the people that make this poo poo?

I kind of wonder if the account itself (@Bidenshairplugs) is some guy trolling "ironically" because there is no way someone could be that...insane. He literally handles people objecting to his blatent racism/sexism/homophobia with really terrible done memes that say stuff like "I don't give a gently caress!". Then again, if he was trolling, he's truly awful a it. He's no @KattWillFerrell, for example (who I'm a fan of).

E-Tank posted:Well, its implied by the fourth amendment. http://www.theonion.com/articles/right-to-privacy-not-guaranteed-by-constitution-sa,2683/ My mom's husband is out of jail and he and his a crazy right-winger and conspiracy theorist.  Today I had to hear about how my attempt to get a job at the postal service was pointless because "poo poo's going down, the government isn't going to last much longer." When I said I hoped it wouldn't be in my lifetime he said "You know China owns the United States, and every other country we owe money too." I then later got to hear a riveting tale about how swine flu was man-made and the government sent people with chemical sprayers down to Cancun to infect people by pretending to be spraying weeds/plants, "Now you've got an airborne virus."Fortunately I'll be moving out of the house soon.

goddamnedtwisto posted:They still passionately believe in the wage/price spiral and no amount of persuasion or actual evidence will ever dissuade them from that. One of the many reasons Austrian/Chicago-school economics are so popular is that it tells lots of nice Just-So stories about macroeconomics that make a sort of sense (and not coincidentally boil down to "More money for us"), which are perfect for using in arguments beginning with the words "Everyone knows that..." or "It's obvious that...". Can't it just be disproved with "they'll have more money to buy the slightly more expensive stuff, dumbass"? Wojtek posted:My dad pointed me to this Quite liked this one.

Tatum Girlparts posted:I can't tell if you're ironically trying to use their retarded logic or not but this is a real dumb rear end post. For sure. The only ones that I'd say have any level of political bend are the ones where the killer explicitly said so. And really beyond the Unitarian shooter, it's more fringe anti-woman/gay/PoC stuff than fully formed political positions. Most people realize that a democratic (gov't type, not party) leader isn't a movement, and assassinating one only serves to further the victim's cause.

I agree, it's loving insane to tie either political party to actions of crazy people. I was trying to frame the argument that everyone of the individuals didn't come from a stereotypical "Liberal" home/environment. But yeah, that was terrible for me to do, and sinking to their level, so my apologies.

Sadly enough though that level of argument is sometimes the only thing that gets through to some of these people. I can quote my dad a thousand statistics on how Obamacare is helping people, but he'll just respond with some stupid anecdote about someone a coworker knows who had their premiums go up infinity percent or whatever. If I stoop to that level and say "Well my friend Steph had her premiums drop by 70% she said" that shuts him up more than anything. Funnily enough the provision that extended my parents' insurance for me until 26 saved me from having an insane amount of medical debt which I never would have been able to afford to pay but my dad still insists that the provision just encourages kids to be "moochers off their hard-working parents".

You're serious? He legit thinks that kids are 'mooching off their hard-working parents'? Umm....Hello? You're a *parent*. That means you take care of your kid. Its not mooching, it's just staying with them. Jesus christ. I'm going to assume you've reminded him that the only reason you're not currently bankrupt is because of said provision, and I have to inquire what his response is. I know I shouldn't mock the mentally disabled, but goddamn that's one hell of a mental twist he's doing there.

Removing the word "registered" just makes the lie fuzzy and hard to prove or disprove.
