Idiotic Debating Tactics

Perfect example (but please don't ask me why this was my first choice bag:

Here is the 2nd paragraph (right after intro) of the wikipedia listing for radio station Star94 in Atlanta. This really sounds like it hits the main focal points of its 45-year existence, doesn't it?? 🙄

In keeping with this more pop and rock based top 40, Star often edits rap songs out of nationally syndicated programs such as American Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest (they also edited out rap songs during Casey Kasem's reign.) Star has even gone so far as edit out the #1 songs in these broadcasts: for example, in 1994, Star edited "Another Night" by Real McCoy, a dance/rap song, out of Casey's Top 40 when it was airing. As said above, Star has recently added some R&B/Hip-Hop songs to their playlist, but they continue to edit out hardcore rap songs from ever airing.

Everything that's been used on page 37 - 39 on the Isreal vs. Lebanon thread, including my own.

^^ Well said. That thread is almost as much of a lost cause as finding peace between the two nations.

Bad Debating Tactic Tip from John Edwards...

Don't bring up the sexuality of your opponents daughter in a debate especially if your facing an angry bald man who already hates you 😆

loaded question/veiled duplicate topics

you know, the typical is the abortion topic.
someone feels unhappy with a two sided discussion along with
an open question, so they make a new thread with a loaded and logically flawed question.

"which is more evil: killing fetuses or torturing puppies?"
"why is it that godless liberals hate babies so much?"

things of this nature

Regardless of what adjectives are being used to describe anything, I think making a new thread PERIOD (just because you think your point was overlooked inside a thread and may never be seen by those logging on at a later time) is pretty tacky. If they see it, they see it. If they don't, who cares?

Well, I don't know how you could hate smilies. 😐

They hardly make any sense. they are for people who are unable to present their emotions through their writing (i.e. you).

people who punctuate their sentences with "😐" are douchebags. there i said it. report me.
