You twist it up and try to argue without 100% "context", which is just weasel words for "Things I can't demonstrate to exist, might exist, and therefore you don't have a right to reach a conclusion about this topic."
This is blatantly false.
We have enough information to reach a conclusion, so long as we remain willing to change our position when you finally grow a set of balls and put up or shut up.
The reality is that you don't have anything to put up, but rather than shut up, you've decided to plant your flag and to die on Retard Hill on the argument that we should presume more information is available that we simply do not have, therefore we must not reach a conclusion.
Nope. Not a valid argument.
We have plenty of proof to confirm our position. You have zero evidence to support yours. It is that simple. The argument we should withhold judgement for eternity while we wait for your Messiah to come back... I mean while we wait for you to dig up this evidence you wish existed to support your claim, is false.
We have reached a prelimary conclusion based on the available evidence. You disagree with it. The onus is on you to offer evidence to support your positive claim, as we already have evidence to support our positive claim.
Do you have any evidence to support your claim, yes or no?
I thought you were leaving because I embarrassed you again?Evidence that the picture is anything but what it appears to be, some guy giving a presentation on why the white race should be exterminated in a university classroom.
You are claiming that it plausibly could be, and the fact that you eschew any attempt of even trying to justify the claim is all we need from you.Jhodi, you seem confused. I'm not claiming that the presentation is comedic. I don't have to prove that it is.
Your assertion is that this image could be something besides what it appears to be, that it could be tongue in cheek, comedic in nature, or unserious.burden of proof
phrase of burden
1.
the obligation to prove one's assertion.
Here is my stance:If you think my logic is flawed, and you understand burden of proof and positive claims better than me, then by all means:
Give us the syllogistic explanation of why my logic is flawed.
I literally never made this claim. You lie.just like you won't bother supporting your claim that we all need to go live with black families to understand Trayvon's struggles better
I absolutely never made either of these claims. You're full of lies today.the Moon Landing and 9-11 were a hoax
I gave PLENTY of evidence supporting this. Over and over again. It's all still there. You're a lying piece of shit.Anita wasn't talking about Hitman
I don't have to prove that something "could be", and I certainly don't have to prove that a single, context-free image might mean something other than what it superficially appears to be. You're an idiot for suggesting otherwise.and that this image could be anything beyond what it appears to be.
lolWE DON'T KNOW what's going on in that picture. The day you understand that is the day you become an adult.
Goal post shifting fallacy.Here is my stance:
It is foolish to jump to conclusions based on a single, context-free image.
Where the two claims given for the situation are as follows:Matt Dillahunty gives the example of a large jar full of gumballs to illustrate the burden of proof.[13][14] The number of whole gumballs in the jar is either even or odd, but the degree of personal acceptance or rejection of claims about that characteristic may vary. We can choose to consider two claims about the situation, given as:
The number of gumballs is even.
The number of gumballs is odd.
Either claim could be explored separately; however, both claims represent the same proposition and do in fact ask the same question. Odd in this case means "not even" and could be described as a negative claim. Before we have any information about the number of gumballs, we have no means of checking either of the two claims. When we have no evidence to resolve the proposition, we may suspend judgment. From a cognitive sense, when no personal preference toward opposing claims exists, one may be either skeptical of both claims or ambivalent of both claims.[15][16][17] If there is a claim proposed and that claim is disputed, the burden of proof falls onto the proponent of the claim. If there is no agreeably adequate evidence to support a claim, the claim could be considered to be an argument from ignorance.
and thereforenothing else you have to say matters until you put up or shut up on both of these issues, and all the others you have failed to support over the years.circular non-logic
This did catch my eye.I don't have to prove that something "could be"
The fuck? That was always my stance, dipshit. No goalposts have been shifted.Goal post shifting fallacy.
I'm just stating the FACT that it's very easy to misinterpret things due to lack of context.
WE DON'T KNOW what's going on in that picture.
we don't know the context for that image and therefore shouldn't jump to conclusions.
Again, all I suggested is that we don't know the context for that image.
I'm sayingwe don't knowthe context. And I'm saying that that's enough reason not to jump to conclusions about what's happening in that picture.
It's really not, and shame on you for wasting my time with your retarded derail that has fuck all to do with what we're talking about.This situation is functionally equivalent to Matt Dillahunty's example of the jar full of gumballs
See, this is more dishonesty here, Jhodi. My claim isNOTthat the image does not accurately represent the situation in question. My claim is that a single image presented without context does not give us enough information to draw conclusions either way. I like how you keep trying to present this as some Creationist stance when "Let's hold off judgment until we have more evidence" is literally the diametric opposite of Creationism. In Jhodiland, anything means anything!Where the two claims given for the situation are as follows:
1. The image accurately represents the situation in question when the photo was taken
2. The image does not accurately represent the situation in question when the photo was taken
Not at all. Again, you're an idiot. I honestly can't believe you have sunken to this level of ignorant shitposting.You come in and claim that we're all jumping the gun. This means you are making a positive claim for the second position.
No, it's not. You have this terrible, terrible habit of presenting falsehoods as facts. If this is literally your entire argument, then I accept your admission of defeat.Your position is a counter claim to ours.
Your position is a counter claim to ours.
Put up the evidence to support your claim, and put up the syllogistic argument for why my logic is circular and flawed, or shut up.
