Fascinating. Carve out some time to listen to the video.

Learned this a long time ago. Is it even taught in schools anymore?

This guy is worried about improperly accusing his opponents of logical fallacies and respecting their opinions, while the other side brings feces in jars to throw in protest.

Doesn’t seem like there is any potential for a meeting of the minds

I like lib logic when debating a pro lifer. I agree with them. Then I tell them that since liberal dems get abortions while conservatives have our babies my side wins in 2 generations.

Makes them freak out.

Another approach I use when responding to fallacies, after there most often ridiculous comment, don’t use the word “BUT” when responding, rather use the word “AND” as if you are adding to their comment, your “and” statement can be completely opposite what they said, yet they are more willing to listen.

“But” has a negative aspect to their comment, “And” adds a positive aspect to the communication process.

Two things will happen with this technique, they will appreciate and think about your comment and ideally agree with you, or they will stare at you like an old mule, looking at a new gate.

I thought this was so good, and then I looked to see who posted it: YOU!

(Sigh.)
