why isn't this a good argument?
>>674391994
IT'S [insert current year] HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW THIS IS NOT A GOOD ARGUMENT?
>>674391994
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
>>674392231
no im being truthful.
hes normally talking about social issues, as time goes on we progress as a society, thus its [inserts current year] so we should be mean to gay people anymore.
right?
>>674392231
The opposition (you I guess) do exactly the same thing, so whats the problem?
Are you saying you want everyone with an opinion to be silent, is that what that picture is promoting?
>>674392395
*shouldn't
>>674392395
IS THIS A JOKE?
>>674391994
Obviously it's just an appeal to emotion and not an argument at all
Go on being upset and talking about him and pretend that's not exactly what he wanted the entire time.
>>674392407
Not that guy but no that's not what the picture is saying. It's saying form an argument rather than committing a logical fallacy. Pointing out that it's 2016 doesn't make someone's opinion right or yours wrong. Also implying that present > past regarding morality doesn't even make sense
See how I formed an argument relevant to what you said rather than saying "yeah well you guys do it too"
Learn from it
>>674392407
No not at all. This picture only comes at use if the other dude already made himself look like an idiot by using this kind of "argument". One could say it's a strawman but how is it a strawman if that other person said exactly this?
>>674392860
great argument. this just prves its trumpfags that care about this and doesnt make any sense
>>674393020
>trumpfags
not everywhere on this planet is an election this year you retard
>>674393020
A nice example of the people who believe this is an argument. Do you also believe you don't need to explain to people why trump is literally hitler when they ask you?
>>674392776
the implication is that OTHER factors make his opinion right and yours wrong and the year is nothing buy an embarrassing indicator of how backward your opinion is.
>kinda like the flat-earth brigade
are you really too stupid to have understood all that on your own, or are you just being a lame shill?
>>674393340
but trump is literal hitler
>>674393510
>>674392776
>morality and ethics does not progress over time
>which is why capital punishment is still widespread and carried out by townspeople
How about KNOWLEDGE, you dense motherfucker?
It's as valid as it ever was It's just all memey now, so it's cool to follow the leader and shitpost.
>>674393408
Flat earth theory = opinion on Islam in the west
One is a scientific discovery that's objectively true and the other is a matter of morality and your take on current situation of multicultural and society
>>674393782
this. memes get so blown out of proportion.
>>674393782
So never valid?
>>674393874
>Flat earth theory is a scientific discovery that's objectively true
>=, not =/= or |=
>>674393237
Oh, Sorry.
Have fun with your Dictator, Pablo.
>>674394041
valid for making you butthurt, apparently
what exactly did you think he was going for?
>>674394065
Ahh man you're dumb
>>674393719
This literally doesn't mean anything
>>674393237
have fun in your mudhut abdi, enjoy your dad raping your sister
>>674393408
You are just proving him right with that flat earth argument. Black people commit more crime than white people, we have to get them out. It's 2016 come on. How have you not seen it yet?
>>674394146
I just wanted clarification you over caffeinated ass
>>674394302
the earth isnt flat retardo
>>674394167
Because I don't believe flat-earth theory is objectively true?
Or because I didn't intuitively decipher your horrible writing and ignore the embarrassing mistakes?
>>674394512
Are you retarded? I never said it was.
>>674391994
I'm gonna take the bait.
It shows that you base your opinions and values on what is currently the most popular. That you allow your opinions to be decided by current trends.
10 years ago, you would have agreed 100% with the popular thoughts at the time. And in 10 years time you'll change all your principles to what is popular then.
The people saying "it's 2016 blah blah blah" are the people who would have been lynching black people back when it was cool.
>>674394411
You were TROLLED by a lame TV comedian
clear enough?
>>674394662
You really are dumb. It's scientifically proven that the earth is flat. If you are not able to read that out for yourself you are either are retard or just a dumb troll

>These Jews are destroying our country! I mean COME ON, it's 1933!
>How are we not at war with Vietnam yet? I mean COME ON, it's 1955!
>We need to liberate Iraq. I mean, COME ON, it's 2003!
Yes, the implication is that other factors make his opinion right and the opposing sides wrong but it's a stupid, condescending and completely unhelpful way to frame an argument, not to mention irrelevant because if it turns out he's still wrong, the current year doesn't mean shit.
>>674394728
>being this confused by its meaning
>>674394682
You're so fucking dense it's painful
Calling someone BACKWARDS is like calling them Hitler, it's not proof of anything, just a fucking insult.
>every single word must be objectively provable fact, he's not allowed to make fun of us!
You guys don't understand. The argument isn't ''it's current year!!!''. The argument was ''it's 2015!!!!''. It was never current year, it was 2015.
It's no longer 2015. That argument does not work anymore.
The new one is
>Are you kidding me?
>You're fucking a white male!
>>674394802
KEK

That gif is perfect.

>why isn't a fallacy a good argument?
OP a faggot as always

>Vietnam was in 1955
>>674395015
Are you dumb? I'm on your side
>>674392395
>as time goes on we progress as a society
lol biggest fallacy humans have. Progress is relative, there is no linear path to success, evolution doesn't have pre-planned milestones, and nothing says older traditions won't be useful again one day.
India and China suck ass but have already outpaced the average Western country. Get your tard fallacies rekt'd faggot

John Oliver is such a fuckin piece of shit. His show is a fucking disaster, he wishes he was still working for Colbert cause then he wouldn't have to write his own shit material, he's pretty much the definition of a cuck, and tbh he looks like he's just gross. Like he smells.
>>674394766
I guess

You might want to do some research before you make yourself look even more retarded.
