I am not sure what happens when you follow someone. Yeah there are definitely some distasteful topics on this forum. It is like the Wild West!

I look forward to reading your posts!

What I find surprising is that in the not so distant past, right wing men didn't express blatant misogynistic opinions. I could read between the lines and know that's how they felt, but they denied that they held those views.
I think they imagine that feminists are bothered with what that bunch of ultracrepidarians think of women.
I have a feeling they don't talk like that in person. They just meet on the internet and lick their wounds inflicted by having to compete with women.

Warning: There are many misogynists and racists here.

True Dat.

Just about all the Democrats here want men to beat up women in sports and favor discrimination against Asians and Jews in College admissions and Job placement.

This is an introductory thread. Keep the conversation to greetings and salutations and no insulting.

And why are we discussing socks? I've even checked slang dictionaries and have no idea why people on this forum call each other a sock.

Your feigned ignorance isn’t persuasive.

 

[BackAgain]

This is my argument: If you make a statement, you should be prepared to defend it with facts. It's not up to the rest of the world to prove you wrong.
Edit: I just found out that you and your friend as using the burden of proof falacy.

Burden of proof isn’t a fallacy.

I'm not feigning anything. And I don't give a fraction of a flying fig whether you are persuaded about anything.

Pay attention. He used a fallacy called "burden of proof fallacy."

Yes, there is such a fallacy. It's the one where you insist that the person must prove you wrong.

you haven't proven any of your claims yet.

The burden of proof belongs to the proponent.

So if you claim “x” and I respond with a demand to prove it, the burden of proof is entirely on you.

It’s not a fallacy.

If you demand that I explain my disagreement, you are attempting to shift the burden. That’s a fallacy.

Pay attention to details.

you haven't proven any of your claims yet.

Whoever I was talking to said that I had to prove he was wrong instead of him proving he's right. He's wrong of course. So I posted something ugly about Trump so that using his "logic" he would be required to prove it wrong, which of course he could not do.

The burden of proof fallacy (also known as
shifting the burden of proof) is a logical error where the person making an assertion fails to provide evidence, instead demanding that their opponent disprove the claim, essentially saying, "Prove me wrong!". It's fallacious because the responsibility to prove a claim rests with the person making it, not the one questioning it, especially for extraordinary or unsubstantiated ideas, meaning an inability to disprove something doesn't make it true.

So stop trying to shift the burden of proof.

You now have no excuse like “well, I didn’t know.” You do at long last.

I'm not trying to shift the burden of proof. I'm asking you to stop telling me to prove you wrong.
I'm beginning to suspect something is wrong with you, and I'm starting to feel like a bully trying to discuss things with you. It's kind of how I would feel trying to discuss issues with a child.

I haven’t made any such application.

If you make a claim and I deny your claim, I am perfectly entitled to demand that you prove me wrong. It’s still your burden, pal.

I am indifferent to your defense mechanism. Learn what you’re talking about and you may prove to be a worthwhile argyle.
