I'm up to my third Annoying Orange sign

[Akio-]

they're saying nobody likes hearing about it when it's unprompted.

its not funny, its true, people who vandalize or steal are petty and immature

that is true, but in my opinion, so are people telegraph any political discussion/support in unfit situations. those situations being basically nowhere but a voting booth.

not sure what you're getting at

not sure what you're getting at

what im getting at is that his post literally says people who have political discussion outside of a voting booth is immature and petty

i'm sure he didn't mean that literally. it's generally agreed upon that bringing up political discussion in a situation that has nothing to do with that is annoying and uncalled for, and im pretty sure that was the point he was trying to make.

for example:
"hello sir, how's everything going?"
"bad, i can't stop thinking about how much i hate hillary clinton. what do you think about hillary clinton?"
"sir i am just a waiter at Chili's i don't have time for this"

honestly I feel that people who have to post signs about which candidate they are voting for are the worst, mainly because it's a statement that you care more about politics than anything else

who the forget pays $10 to advertise a candidate anyway

and finally, this is independent of any of my political opinions - i don't care if it's hillary or Annoying Orange, yard signs of either candidate are handicapped

ok but i was responding to his post was saying in literal terms

it's not hard to find out that he wasn't saying "voting booths are the only place to discuss politics." he said "basically nowhere but a voting booth," implying that there are other places for it to be discussed, but it was left open-ended because nobody is going to list off every single place where political discussion is appropriate. what you're doing is essentially reducing his argument to its barest possible meaning with no regard for the semi-obvious connotations it came with in order to make it easier to knock down.

i responded the point that his post literally said, which was handicapped. his point was very clearly defined, i dont know why you are going off on a tangent like "no! thats not what it says!~ you are trying to put him down~!" even though it says exactly that

im saying this because you're ignoring the connotation of what he said in favor of being able to attack a much easier argument, even though that's not the actual meaning of the post. it's sorta like someone posting "lmao im dead" and responding "You can't laugh if you are dead. I have won this argument." in the way that it's ignoring the fact that it wasn't meant to be taken exactly as it was worded.

might i add that

you are going off on a tangent like "no! thats not what it says!~ you are trying to put him down~!"

is an example of the same exact fallacy? you are, again, misrepresenting an argument in order to make it easier to take down.

as much as you want to live in the fantasy of me trying to viciously attack donnie,

are you saying political discussion is petty and immature

i asked him if this is what he meant, you said, "no he means x" and i disagree.

you are, again, misrepresenting an argument in order to make it easier to take down.

i dont see what kind of argument i was instigating or trying to take down..

you are crazy kimon. not everything is a political argument where the conservative is brutally attacking the other side

as much as you want to live in the fantasy of me trying to viciously attack donnie

again, you're creating an argument that isn't there so that it's easy to rebut. at no point was i trying to say you were "viciously attacking him"

i asked him if this is what he meant, you said, "no he means x" and i disagree

thanks for the recap? you asked what he meant and i clarified.

i dont see what kind of argument i was instigating or trying to take down..

you just said you disagreed with my clarification. AKA, you are insistent on the argument that he thinks you can only discuss politics in a voting booth.

you are crazy kimon. not everything is a political argument where the conservative is brutally attacking the other side

this has jack stuff to do with anything.

if you care that much just pm donnie and ask him what he meant. this isn't really going anywhere.

[Akio-]

it was done when i said i was responding to him in literal terms

you asked what he meant and i clarified.

you arent donnie, and i dont recall asking you what he meant.

you just said you disagreed with my clarification. AKA, you are insistent on the argument that he thinks you can only discuss politics in a voting booth.

AKA, I don't know what Donnie was saying, so I asked him. Again, I responded to what his post LITERALLY SAYS.

if you care that much just pm donnie and ask him what he meant. this isn't really going anywhere.

why do you think i asked him in the first place? you imposed yourself here

Get a camera pointed at the sign to catch whoever is stealing your signs. I don't care what your belief is, stealing stuff from people's property makes you a grade A cunt no matter what
