Yes. Driving while extremely tired is legally recklessly driving and can get you arrested if you're judged to be impaired. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
It seems like you are ok with with whistleblowing as long as it matches your arbitrary idea of what is morally acceptable. Isn't that a bit hypocritical? | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
At what point do your ownership rights cease? When your body starts to decay? Your last breath? When you're entirely broken down? The ownership over body arguments have their flaws in the donation debate | Rational Persuasion | Persuasive Inquiry |
It's rather disingenuous to believe feminism's narrative about rape victims has nothing to do with their willingness to believe unskeptically. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
Except it doesn't and claims purports these problems to be inconsequential, a result of the 'patriarchy', and so on. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
Honest question: why would *anyone* agree to pay child support when the government would fund it? I would rather have a gentleman's agreement with my GF, reject all claims of parenthood to my son so that we can collect government benefits/wellfare for my fatherless son. EDIT: yes, it is fraud. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
No? You are a good example of what I am talking about. A white person is far more likely than anyone else to possibly argue that skin color is irrelevant in the world and honestly mean it or think that noticing the effects of racism is itself racist. | Manipulation | Othering |
I don't think Facebook stockholders would agree with you. Facebook is a business and a business caters to its customers interests. It's that simple. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
Just because you don't know who an artist is doesn't mean they aren't influential. No one knew who The Pixies were for years, but they were a huge influence on shitloads of bands. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
If it's your preference why don't you just ask if they are cis? Is this woman supposed to be a mind reader? If you don't make your preferences clear your really don't have anyone to blame but yourself if your standards aren't met. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
We can't take a brain and say "yup, this brain is female". The differences and similarities we are talking about are statistical, i.e. the overall characteristics are closer to the cis control group of the identified gender, but only statistically | Rational Persuasion | Empirical Evidence |
Because unlike all those other groups you list, being nerdy doesn't result in structural economic and political disenfranchisement. You can complain all you want about whatever you want, but your love life is not a political issue. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
Surrogacy is not allowed in California because of anything concerning rights- it allowed based on public policy. In states where it is illegal, that law cannot be challenged on the grounds of bodily autonomy, as it is the commercial transaction that is being regulated, not the medical procedures. | Rational Persuasion | Empirical Evidence |
And there, gold doesn't do much other than make you a target for angry looters. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
While you may have some good points - no way they vote republican en mass. She may have some problems in the primaries from those groups, but not up against a whiter male that the republicans will probably have running. | Manipulation | Othering |
Its one of the most(if not the most) profitable models IF you can pull it off. Its extremely risky but everyone wants to be valve and roit. | Manipulation | Social Conformity |
I've found that McDonald's unquestionably wins in $/cal, at least with local McDonald's. McDoubles and McChickens are $1 and 360 calories, while junior roast beers are only 210/$. | Rational Persuasion | Empirical Evidence |
Are you arguing with me or Osama bin Laden? These are clearly examples of u.s. foreign intervention no matter what caveats you want to claim. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
Not to comment on the effectiveness of the American prison system, but <4% of inmates are held in private prisons. It's a big issue, but you should qualify it instead of stating it like all inmates are working in for-profit private prisons. | Rational Persuasion | Empirical Evidence |
And does the modern reason not apply to women? Why are they exempt from what is a very basic health & safety consideration? | Rational Persuasion | Persuasive Inquiry |
I don't understand what you could have possibly thought it was doing up to this point. Did you not think that hiring practices that favor men have a negative affect on women and the industry at large? Have you just not thought about it before? | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
Can I ask how you've come to the conclusion that tradition is not a worthwhile end but progress is? Progress has a positive connotation, but it isn't actually always positive. | Rational Persuasion | Persuasive Inquiry |
Color / race / gender / etc. exist - socially if not biologically. Acting as though it doesn't exist teaches kids (inadvertently) that it is a taboo subject, and thus there is something wrong with it. By ignoring race we actually "teach" kids that racial differences are bad. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
Meaning is a human construct. Humans are part of life. Therefore life has meaning. More accurately, life *creates* meaning. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
I think it should be apparent that the story is more important than you believe (as far as "the public" is concerned). Even Portal, widely acclaimed as some of the most innovative gameplay at its time, is remembered more for its story than the gameplay. Storytelling is just plain important. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
To go further, I'm going to make a reasonable guess that you haven't dedicated your life and everything you own to charity work. If you really would sacrifice one person to help two others, you should really start mailing your food to Africa. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
Did you look at the graph? It has a line for total compensation, and it's not rising at anywhere near the rate of productivity. I'm not saying your wrong, but your comment is in dispute with his source which you haven't seemed to realize. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
This response is my favorite because it's more or less pointing out the fallacies in the post. Corporate ladder doesn't exist and becoming a young billionaire requires being a founder or inventor. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
I would put handcuffs on her and take her to jail if I witnessed it. Vigilante justice doesn't exist here in the US. A criminal is a criminal. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
There are no urinals for MtFs to use, while FtMs have to go in the stall, anyway. So, to answer your question, because no one will see them, anyway. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
My evil twin, ex girlfriend, boyfriend, hacker, friend, enemy, stranger, father, or maybe my mother figured out my password (123456) and posted that incriminating evidence. Prove me wrong. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
If Ayn Rand was your mother, you could leave out the commas altogether (they're for moochers anyway). | Manipulation | Others |
1. If you give them money, they will no longer have nothing! 2. Life is inherently good. I know it sounds cheesy, but like I said: anyone who tells you something's more important than life doesn't understand the true value of life (or rather, the true meaning of death). | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
I think we should judge it on a case by case basis. For example *Annie*. When Little Orphan Annie first came out in the 1930s, she was a little Irish girl, because the Irish in that time were treated very poorly. That just wouldn't work in 2014, so they made the character black. | Rational Persuasion | Empirical Evidence |
No. Not at the hands of the state when we can just as easily put them into a box for the rest of their lives. | Rational Persuasion | Others |
You better not eat any food then, the US has massive agricultural subsidies... | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
Because the Word of God‚Ñ¢ has a nasty habit of resembling (read: exactly the same as) the pre-held beliefs of the person interpreting them. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
What exactly is your view? The movements exist that is a fact. The views of the movements aren't accepted by the scientific community as a whole, that is also a fact. These movements admit to that freely, they just claim for whatever reason the research has been biased/corrupted. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
haha. Try getting the dishes done by a toddler? You will need new plates, probably a visit to ER and a professional crew to clean up your kitchen. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
Are these workers beaten if they underperform? Does Samsung sell their children to Apple? Can management rape the workers willy-nilly? | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
What's even worse are the english teachers who, after learning that the author intended no such symbols, go on to claim that authorial intent is irrelevant and that the interpretation being taught is obviously correct. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
The free market will "solve" the problem, as long as you believe that the solution in WI is a low-quality, cheap education system. Good teachers will get jobs in other professions and in other states. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
In a democracy, your ability to influence a decision is equal to all others ability. One person, one vote. In capitalism, the ability to influence the market depends upon money. The more money you have, the more you can 'vote'. This is inherently undemocratic. | Rational Persuasion | Empirical Evidence |
Oh, I know. In fact I assume anyone reading my post knows that. My purpose was to point out how anti-discrimination principles are unevenly applied, and the principle xdrenched was suggesting(discrimination is okay if based on "objective" factors) was incorrect. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
Why would you get leather seats, which are more expensive than cloth, and then cover them with cloth (which probably don't fit very well and look stupid)? Your "solution" solves a problem that shouldn't even exist. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
Not necessarily, grooming can take place over decades. A parent can groom their kid until they're legal and then take advantage of them. | Manipulation | Others |
Isn't 3d animation a hell of a lot more resource intensive to produce than anime? I think it'd be better to compare anime to cartoons and, yes, we have a ton of adult-themed cartoons (south park, family guy, R&M...) that explore the issues you mentioned. | Rational Persuasion | Empirical Evidence |
Failing to show would result in the possibility of you being found in contempt of court and being ordered to pay additional fines and costs. You could be arrested. And still have to appear for the creditor's exam. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
And did you know: Dihydrogen Monoxide is a major component of acid rain? And it's found in cancer tumors! | Rational Persuasion | Others |
Wouldn't this make it too easy to exploit asylum seekers? If I know they fear execution for committing a crime, I have extremely powerful leverage over them. That would enable me to get away with all kinds of labor violations. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
But there's no such thing as "microevolution" and "macroevolution." They're both the same thing, just on different timescales, so if one is true then the other must be as well. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
Civilians are likely to enter mustard gassed areas. Also, why the assumption of "no wind"? I may as well assume that no civilian will ever walk on landmines I throw down. | Manipulation | Others |
Yes, deterrence against invasion is a large part of why they'd want a nuke. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
It only harms the child because everyone tells them that they should be traumatised by it. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
Sure, but that's the point. They like excess, and are willing to spend for it. It's simply a different set of values than you have, no scam involved. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
I'm straight and I think their argument is very objectively sound, purely based on all of the statistics and historical examples they provided. It's really hard to argue with. | Rational Persuasion | Others |
Im sure if you pay him for travel costs, that story could elevate his career. So send him some cash to go to Afghanistan. He works for a local paper. | Rational Persuasion | Others |
The risk/reward of this is just unreasonable. Dog owners get happiness, the rest of us get feces, allergies, urine, and the risk of dog bites which can happen when a dog is on a leash. I just don't care about your bonus dog time enough to risk any of that. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
Additionally, how often do you find yourself going to con's for things that don't interest you? Because there is probably some confirmation bias going on. You are far more likely to notice the negative aspects of a con you attended than one you didn't. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
Maybe in nudist colonies where everyone agrees on the rules of the colony. Good luck convincing the lunatics on the public transit in new York city for example to all follow this unwritten moral code. Spoiler: they won't. They're crazy. They don't care about what you frown upon. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
I don't understand how energy conservation is doing nothing. Nearly everyone in the USA has the capability to dramatically reduce the amount of energy we use, which would do a great deal to reduce carbon emissions if we all did it. That's not "nothing". | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
If a child can be produced by an artificial womb, a woman's life is no longer at risk, her health is no longer at risk, her bodily autonomy remains intact. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
Right, but why spend a ton of money to take out the garbage to the special dump when you can just place it in the garbage can behind your house for "free"? | Manipulation | Others |
By that abstract reasoning there is literally no selfless act that can be done, and therefore the concept of selfish/selfless become null. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
Right, but whoever's reading your post is pretty likely to be rich and educated by global standards. And more importantly: you're saying everybody should have less children; I'm saying no, the rich should have more, and the poor, less. | Manipulation | Othering |
A computer has the experience of every other computer in the world at its disposal. A computer can analyze all of the data and find a solution in the time it takes for you to tell your story. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
What about advertising that, no matter how entertaining, leads you believe something contrary to reality? | Rational Persuasion | Persuasive Inquiry |
Actually the USA is the only one with America in the country's name, so it's totally valid to say it that way, literally everyone knows what you are talking about with zero chance of confusion. North, Central, and South America are regions. The only country with the name America is the USA. | Rational Persuasion | Empirical Evidence |
Saying "There is no justification for hate" and "Anti-theism is equivalent to anti-semitism" are two vastly different things. If you're going to edit anything, I would start there. An apology for making such an inflammatory, insensitive, and baseless remark wouldn't be unwarranted either. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
Should me and my buddies be able to take your house by force? Land has changed hands over and over again throughout history. If you have a problem with it you can resist through force. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
You are wrong, Israel wasn't supported by foreign countries over their Arabic neighbors until 1967, when they won an overwhelming victory against the Arabs in 6 days, and it became clear that they are the predominant power in the region and its better to support them. | Manipulation | Othering |
If only they had some form of official document where you could state your wishes if you ever ended up in this type of situation hmmmm...nah I'm sure your hastily scribbled wishes in your notebook will suffice! | Manipulation | Others |
So how much would it cost if your home is a pepper spray awfulness place and how much will it cost if squirrels eat your house? Way more than one professional removal. Just bite the bullet don't pepper spray your house. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
Even better if they just made separate swimming pools for blacks and whites. I'm sure they'll spend the maintenance money evenly... | Manipulation | Othering |
So you're going to stick with your view despite the fact that a black man did recently kill a white man and was successfully able to claim self defense? A fact that completely discredits your view. | Manipulation | Othering |
It would basically be an incentive for law enforcment to behave illegaly in order to obtain evidence and then cover up who exactly was responsible for it. "We can't determine exactly *who* forged the signature on the phone surveillance warrant, but here's the tape." | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
Why? You haven't provided any reasons for this assertion besides your intuition. You can't simply say something is self-evident. Let's suppose I disagree. Now what? | Rational Persuasion | Persuasive Inquiry |
I should go out and play the lottery tomorrow. Either I win or I don't, so I have a 50% chance of becoming a multimillionaire! | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
How are you understanding the term "exploitation" in this context? Surely the mere fact that someone is being paid more than they otherwise would have been is not sufficient to show that they are not being exploited, especially if you stipulate that the wage is not as high as the worker deserves. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
While that's better than what I usually hear, it's not "without a heavy accent". You're out of tune which makes you sound foreign. You roll the Rs a tiny bit too much but you roll them in the right places. If I'd have to guess, I'd say you're Russian or something else in that region. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
Does this really challenge the point though? This makes the reasons for privatization even worse in my eyes, only strengthening the view. | Rational Persuasion | Persuasive Inquiry |
To be honest, it doesn't sound like her relationship was or is fake. More likely she told you that to keep you interested while she was making up her mind between you and the other guy. You need to let this one go for your own sake. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
wrong, children that grow up in households where they are ignored grow up defective. what you need is risk minimization not avoidance | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
If it's impossible for a homeless guy to get a job that's worth more than free meals, isn't he clearly better off getting the free meals from charity? | Rational Persuasion | Persuasive Inquiry |
The best predictor of an individual's future success or lack thereof is their *parent's* income at the time of the individual's birth. This fact alone should be enough to demonstrate that the perception that individual success is due entirely due to individual drive is a myth. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
I think you underestimate Assad's confidence in non-intervention. He's always been a guy to push the limits of what other nations will tolerate. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
The presence of civilians does not protect a military target from being attacked. That's in the Geneva Conventions. | Rational Persuasion | Empirical Evidence |
Liberal bias can exist without exceeding the biases of a conservative news network. You don't have to be worse than Harding to be a bad president. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
Your definition of a real number is incorrect. You are thinking of the set of integers and the set of integers is not dense. You can think of a real number as any number that can be represented in decimal form. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
The wiggle room never seems to work in anyone's favor and only seems to encourage that laziness. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
plus it has been shown that smokers are cheaper because they die younger and dont ever get to the expensive end of life care of an older person. dying at 50 instead of 90 saves us 40 years of health costs. | Rational Persuasion | Empirical Evidence |
You didn't hear? The Scandinavian countries are literally socialist paradises where everybody is middle class, crime is nonexistent, and there are no social problems. | Rational Persuasion | Others |
Many customers like to interact with a person, not a machine, and don't care about Chipotle making more money. It would hurt communities a lot because currently along with getting burritos we also get a bunch of jobs, so money is going back into the local economy. With robots, we would lose that. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
It's a shaming tactic. If you have someone feeling guilty, you can manipulate them. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
If photography is so easy and there are some very wealthy, respected photographers, why aren't you doing it? It's something you only need functional hands to do, so you should be able to knock out some National Geographic worthy pictures over a weekend and start raking in some of that cash. | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
Um, yes it is. The frequency at which a system fails and the severity of a failure are absolutely arguments against that system. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
That's a good point, because a woman who wears the hijab may give the impression that she is 'submissive and obedient' and certain men may feel therefore it's safe to harass her | Manipulation | Othering |
"What if I don't let this totally awesome thing kill me? What if I live out my life and then get killed by tripping on dirty laundry and falling down a flight of stairs? This is my chance to get killed by something truly awesome. I can't pass that up." | Manipulation | Negative Emotional Appeal |
Without being able to challenge your premises taken on faith, there is no point in challenging the idea of young earth. If God exists and is all-powerful then it is entirely possible that he created the universe to look aged. Why he would do so is unknowable. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
To be good at something you really need good personal feedback. Youtube videos, books, singing alone etc you get no feedback to learn what you are doing wrong, what you are doing right and how to correct it. | Rational Persuasion | Logical Appeal |
