Reply #80: i didn't say it was a strawman [View All]

[paulsby]

i said it was an old trope.

try to keep up

do you support your local fire dept.? THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU APPLY?

do you support your local police? ""

do you support ? etc.

it's a silly argument. it's as silly as the race card. if the only people who can support a war, are the people who volunteer to serve in it, it gives you a nice easy out vs. actually discussing the issues.

it's an old trope.

but it's not a strawman

and actually, as best i can tell i used the word trope wrong.

my bad.

but it's definitely not a strawman.
