Man. The way she just lays into him about gravity being just a theory, as if that has any relevance. A font of wisdom this one.

[QUOTE=Zephyrs;51709820]Man. The way she just lays into him about gravity being just a theory, as if that has any relevance.[/QUOTE] If you think gravity doesn't work the way everything man-made is based on, a plane is one of the last places you should be at.

[QUOTE=Trebgarta;51709917]Dont people say "climate change is just a theory" or "evolution is just a theory" ?[/QUOTE] Until the right had to shift to "well maybe we aren't making an impact??!?", "climate change is just a theory!!!!" was their go-to argument for dismissing it. [editline]22nd January 2017[/editline] Though they are still sticking to their religion-driven guns with the "evolution is just a theory!!!". That hasn't changed.

[QUOTE=Trebgarta;51709917]Dont people say "climate change is just a theory" or "evolution is just a theory" ?[/QUOTE] Yes, but that's besides the point. She was literally just spitballing random derogatory shit at him in an attempt to belittle him and appear enlightened/superior. Instead she just outed herself as the drooling retard that she is. That is not how you debate, and people like her make the problem worse because it's a scapegoat that can be pointed to in lieu of discussion. Imagine someone saying something like this: [quote]Pictured here, a liberal outside of its natural habitat. Observe how a creature incapable of rational thought behaves when placed outside of one of its designated 'safe spaces'. It is fortunate that caretakers were on hand to restrain it before any physical damage was done.[/quote] Slap a WWF logo on it, and the comedy practically writes itself. When you are [i]this[/i] easily ridiculed, it doesn't even matter if you are right or not. You look insane, and will be ignored like every other insane person.

tudd stop spamming propaganda in the videos section

[QUOTE=Judas;51710343]tudd stop spamming propaganda in the videos section[/QUOTE] For some reason the Propaganda Ministry keeps on putting out these videos. They really do a good job of making the CGI look real.

It just comes across as disingenuous for you to constantly post solely trump related news. Surely you believe/focus on other realms of newsworthy things, maybe people would be more inclined to appreciate contributions if you did more outside trump politics.

He is nearly the only one posting anything contrary to Literally Hitler (tm).

But I do respect what you say, but I think the news that is on the flip side is quite covered by a whole bunch of other people.

He just got a thing for Trump. That's all.

I just genuinely don't get why anyone's expecting anything good out of the next few years. I'm genuinely assured by Trump and his picks, that Net neutrality, an issue of vast importance to me is going to die.

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;51711283]It's like him and Tudd are antithesis' to each other :v:[/QUOTE] Main difference is I don't cry about how much anti-Trump content there is. It's all pretty fair and I just think it's fair I post content I see on my end. I could always leave to /pol/ and the_donald if I was interested in a echo chamber.

Love it when people bring up "gravity is just a theory" it's a scientific theory, there's a difference it means it's been tested and proven.

[QUOTE=Canary;51711325]Love it when people bring up "gravity is just a theory" it's a scientific theory, there's a difference it means it's been tested and proven.[/QUOTE] Isn't gravity only a theory in name because there's the concept of anti-gravity that hasn't been disprovable, but unprovable at the moment? Compared to thermodynamic laws that are absolute because everything possible has been tested on them?

[QUOTE=Canary;51711325]Love it when people bring up "gravity is just a theory" it's a scientific theory, there's a difference it means it's been tested and proven.[/QUOTE] she said that rhetorically because the man she was talking to is supporting trump who denies climate change and assumes the trump supporter also has the same views. she assumes that the man denies climate change 'because its just a theory' so she brings up gravity, an obviously real thing that is also 'just a theory' to show that they are both obviously real things.

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;51711283]It's like him and Tudd are antithesis' to each other :v:[/QUOTE] I wish they would both quit it tbh It's like smurfy created a void so large that both of them filled it. Arguably Tudd is worse because he thinks he's on a self righteous parade of keeping the forum balanced when he posts videos of the extreme left being the extreme left.

I've seen considerably more people get visibly upset at anything inclined to criticize the left.

"I mean, I don't try to antagonise people. It just happens, and if it happens I'm fine with that." I'm paraphrasing of course. Some of you might of heard me moan in pain when he said that in the background. It was before or after they were discussing how much fp is of a circlejerk when it comes to issues like nuclear power so it stuck in my mind. Tudd doesn't have to try. He just does. He does it by generalizing the left, and posting videos daily about the left being shit. We get it, the left can be garbage. Now what?

[QUOTE=MR-X;51712614]Facepunch used to be a peaceful place[/QUOTE] People always treated FP as a political soapbox looking to rally people to their cause. What isn't good for Judas/Tudd is that a lot of those people end up getting permabanned at some point.

[QUOTE=MR-X;51712614]Facepunch used to be a peaceful place[/QUOTE] At least the left vs right shit isn't leaking into the other sub forums
