  1. 10:50:13 AM+nemirovskysome moron rapper made an argument like this on the bill maher show
  2. 10:50:19 AM+nemirovskyhe always has moron rappers on his show for some reason
  3. 10:51:00 AM+nemirovskythis moron rapper was against gun restrictions/gun control laws because he thought it would mean more abuse and violations of rights toward black people
  4. 10:51:11 AM Ignoring nemirovsky!*@*
  5. 10:51:18 AM Stopped ignoring nemirovsky!*@*
  6. 10:51:30 AM+OneArgumentManThe Right has showed us that their story about resisting tyranny with guns was always a lie.
  7. 10:51:43 AM+nemirovskybecause, the thinking goes, if you made concealed carry illegal, then cops would rough up black kids on the street searching for concealed guns more, or something
  8. 10:51:49 AM+OneArgumentManThey will, in fact, do nothing -- or help that tyranny -- with their guns, as long as it's the Right kind of tyranny.
  9. 10:51:57 AM+nemirovskytherefore, his thinking goes, it's better that people go around strapped with concealed guns
  10. 10:52:02 AM+OneArgumentManTherefore, I am against the 2nd Amendment.
  11. 10:52:04 AM+nemirovskythis guy is a moron, obviously
  12. 10:52:11 AM+nemirovskyit was the Run The Jeweles
  13. 10:52:12 AM+nemirovskyguy
  14. 10:52:15 AM+nemirovskybig mike or something
  15. 10:52:38 AM+OneArgumentManThe entire idea of needing guns to protect yourself from guns in the society is a positive feedback loop.
  16. 10:52:51 AM+OneArgumentManIf you fear the danger of guns, motivating you to need a gun, then we should ban guns.
  17. 10:54:15 AM+nemirovskylol wut
  18. 10:54:20 AM Ignoring nemirovsky!*@*
  19. 10:54:28 AM+OneArgumentMannemirovsky: I put you on ignore.
  20. 10:54:36 AM+OneArgumentManReason: You said "lol wut", which indicates you're a moron chatter.
  21. 10:55:25 AM+OneArgumentManMy implied thesis: Every chatter who uses "lol" as part of a non-ironical response in a debate is an effective moron.
  22. 10:56:21 AM+OneArgumentManSomebody makes an argument. Here are some possibilities:
  23. 10:56:43 AM+OneArgumentMan1 - You've encountered the argument and it's good. You will not type "lol" as you won't be surprised, and it's a good argument.
  24. 10:58:10 AM+OneArgumentMan2 - You've not encountered the argument, but it's good (according to an Oracle). A moron may feel an impulse of "That's wrong!", since they're unfamiliar with the argument and it might refute a currently held belief. Saying "lol" here means you cannot control your impulses in chat, and you're also violating the entire arc of Western philosophy extending to Socrates about seriously considering ideas you haven't yet encountered. Therefore, effective moron.

  26. 10:58:40 AM→ HRPufnst1f has joined
  27. 10:58:50 AMⓘ Mabus set mode +v HRPufnst1f
  28. 10:59:45 AM+OneArgumentMan3 - You've encountered the argument and it's bad. You might feel exasperated, as you have to deal with a refuted idea, but this doesn't produce amusement. You'll either refute the argument, again, or end the engagement as you're dealing with somebody who might not be your peer on that topic.
  29. 11:01:41 AM+OneArgumentMan4 - You've not encountered the argument, but it's bad (according to an Oracle). How do you know it's bad, though? Philosophy, science, and cultural studies/sociology indicate to us humans have a cognitive bias against the unknown, in many cases. So, you won't immediately know if the perceptions you're having are because it's a bad idea (which it is), or because it's new and your mind doesn't like new things. It's absolutely critical, in this case, to control your impulses so you can do effective reasoning and data collection to honestly evaluate this ultimately wrong claim. Then, you can conclude it is bad with confidence you're not just typing "lol wut" like some effective moron.
