Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

Do you even know what a "false dilemma" fallacy is?

It's where someone sets up a question as if there is only two choices but there might be more choices. I literally just asked what you think about a government forcibly taking land from a minority population. That is simply asking for your input, I am not only giving you two possible answers. I'm glad you know the names of some fallacies, but at least try to use them properly next time. Thanks.

Your question has only a black/white answer but it's a highly complicated issue and you also haven't referenced S. African history or present day circumstances. The wording of your question also has loaded implications. You use words like "forcibly" and "minority". No matter how you protest, yours is not an honest question.


My question to you is honest and it's open ended enough for you to clarify your answers. It's not a trap and there's no "gotcha".

What are you ideas to solve the land ownership problem in S. Africa? Have you any?

Oh my mistake, am I using too many facts for you to be able to engage in an honest discussion?

You might have a point if the South African government were targeting ALL farm owners, regardless of race. Then the whites just happen to get caught up in the mix. But no, they are specifically targeting whites, which are the minority population. Therefore my use of the word "minority" is spot on. Just because you can't argue against facts doesn't mean my question is asked in bad faith.

Dreaven's two main attacks on here are a. arguing in bad faith and b. structuring 'gotcha' questions.

I honestly don't know you bother engaging.

A third person defending the South African government. My mistake, cwolff. There are more racists on this board than I realize, and it's not the usual Androidpk/time4fun combo.

President Trump’s lawyer said Thursday that US citizens would stage a revolution against their own government if the commander-in-chief were to be impeached.

“You could only impeach him for political reasons and the American people would revolt against that,” Rudy Giuliani told Sky News while in the UK for a golf outing.
