Actually, you attacked the source, not realzing that this is a guest article appearing in that source. And yes, it does happen a lot around here, but that doesn't make it less of a logical fallacy.
Hey, whatever. You win. Sorry to have upset your fragile little world.
Glad to help you straighten things out.
Bump.
Great article. Fact and figures against the other side's anecdotes and fear-mongering.
Of course, facts and figures don't matter to those who really just can't stand to deal with the reality of the benefits of globalization. "There are none so blind as those who will not see."
I thought the libertarian case for slavery angle was a nice touch.
Yep. Roughly equivalent to trying to refute the conservative writings of William F. Buckley or the commentary of Rush Limbaugh by citing how David Duke likes the KKK.
But, hey, when you've got no logical refutation, I guess posting non sequiturs feels better than doing nothing.
I was thinking the other night that if this had been a pro-protectionism (with a suitably negative or alarmist title) piece, then this thread would've run into the hundreds as the free-traders and protectionists duked it out.
