Hillary Clinton on Julian Assange - "Why don't we just drone strike this guy?"

No, I'm posted it because I don't think people really care about your opinions anymore, chill it out a bit

you're seriously going to tell me not to dentify hoaxes because 'nobody cares about your opinions'? This is not only counterproductive to the concept of a public forum, it's also dismissive and likely a breach of rules.

You realize you're defending a scam, right? You're contributing to one of the biggest viruses that plagues the industry of journalism.

Do you just hate the right in general or did it abuse you as a kid

a serious majority of my friends and family are right-wing republicans. i can assure you that a distaste for an ideology does not inherently reflect your views upon those who practice it

well bs liberal fabrications are probably going to be less popular on a forum that's, on average, got a much more right-leaning libertarian active userbase

if anything, sites like this prove that there is an astounding market for bullstuff on the internet, and any ideology is equally likely to dip into that market. though i couldn't name any good sources for this off the top of my head as i involve don't myself in many liberal spaces that frequently discuss contentious politics

blf is perhaps a tenth of how frequently i see this sort of thing. it's more common on reddit (in the right-leaning subs) and it seems to have infested my facebook feed. though all of these forums are majority-right, the divide of how frequently i see said articles rarely matches the demographics of the userbase. perhaps its because the liberal minority is more cautious, knowing they will have the public slanted against them from the go, but other signs lead me to believe the right are far more exploitable via conspiratorial or fabricated articles. i've never witnessed an entire website dedicated to liberal hoaxes, but it seems as though sites like TruePundit are focused entirely around this concept. also, a glance through the top 25 trending hoaxes on snopes will almost always show a serious majority of conservative-oriented articles.

This is my last post of the night, but I feel like as though there is a bit more to be said here now that INH is editing his posts.

Stop being so hostile to everyone already you starfish.

I'm perhaps one-fifth as aggressive as McJob, a user you seem to admire (often for good reason), and about one-tenth as aggressive as C, a user you seem ready to defend. Aggressiveness is not a flaw when you are making a genuine case, as McJob usually does. Aggressiveness is a flaw when you are factually wrong, relying on mudslinging to carry your argument, such as the case with many users here, like Akio.

Do you really believe you are in a position to tell me to stop being aggressive? You've quite literally come out the blue to dismiss my factual statement that said article is fake, then say that you were justified because 'nobody cares what I have to say'. You aren't a victim, and you aren't convincing enough to pretend.

False. It's impossible to be Jewish and hate rich people

I wasn't playing victim, I was just saying to stop being so hostile all the time.

Hell once I calmly and nicely asked you in a pm if you really lived in a certain town, and you hopped on my ass and tried to incite an argument in PM by acting like a complete loving know-it-all and wouldn't stop until I had to block you.

If you were less irrational and hostile in these sorts of threads and situations, a lot more people would actually respect you

Also I dont recall ever defending c once, and I only like McJob due to how down-to-earth and how informed he is most of the time. Please don't make up assumptions on me just to mark me up as some guy I'm not, seriously.

I wont continue this further and I suggest you not to either. Yes I was wrong in making that dismissive post and Ilm sorry for it, but it doesn't excuse you for acting like an extremely hostile prick all the time. Learn to keep your cool already.

I need to go to bed now, for real this time. I'll post tomorrow.

It seems as though you're capable of arguing--so do it more often. Post likes "lol okay zealot" and "nobody cares what you have to say" do nothing good for you.

I've literally done nothing but respond to messages you've sent me, until you threw a fit so I stopped responding. You seriously blocked me? That's almost humorous.

I won't make any PMs public unless I get your approval, but you've certainly got mine to post the full logs.

I 100% agree with you lol

I usually don't make PM's public but this will be the only case in which I will, but I'll censor out your town so that there shouldn't be too much of an issue. (If you want a bigger image just click the pictures)















I heard you lived in this one town that's pretty close to me, so I tried to ask in the nicest way I could. What I got in return from you was a know-it-all attitude while you tried to force-lecture me on how my town is a part of yours, even though I never asked in the first place, nor even wanted to hear it at all. I tried to tell you to stop or hint at it, so you kept going, so I told you to "go away" and I blocked you to make sure you actually would.

This type of attitude you strut around with all the time is a major part as to why other users and I really don't like you all that much. I know you can be a good guy and all and I see that in you, just with you near always responding to people or things that differ from your opinions and beliefs with that starfish-ish attitude just irks me and a number of other users as well, which is why I tend to post in such a rude manner to you, even though I don't necessarily mean to.

Nothing really stands out as being "know it all" tbh

I'm using the term "know-it-all" in the bad way. Aka acting like a smartalec and such to other people unwarranted.

yeah, there's literally no need to ever be aggressive, it adds zero substance to your claims and puts people on the defensive. statements are much better-received if they aren't presented with random, frankly unnecessary hostility

One of the most successful tactics that you can do when debating is attack, attack, attack. Never answer another person always be on the offensive and question them. Always turn around their questions. That's why Feminists and SJWs can be so successful in arguments and why Annoying Orange was so successful in the GOP debates.

Although if you're talking about when people like mcZealot insult people in an argument I think it doesn't matter either way. I also like to throw jabs into my arguments as well, and I know Ike and Mcjobless also do that.

sounds like a great way to be a big richardo mcgee guy. going out of your way to be disrespectful and aggressive is no way to have a civil debate. if people randomly sling stuff, then at the very least they shouldn't be surprised when people don't want to listen the things they say

All I do is retort with snark if people escalate an argument with personal attacks, or if I respond to a point while somebody is personally attacking somebody else, I won't try to beat around the bush or mince words on why they're being an starfish.

Calling names doesn't prove your point and if you're among the jerks who argue for no means other than to "win", then I can definitely see how you would think trying to phase your opponents in an argument would be successful.
