When I first heard about it while still a teen I thought it was just a money making scheme. The morticians had a very powerful lobby back then.
Then later, back in the mid 1990s, there was a massive flood in the southern part of the state nearly 500 coffins were forced out of what was supposed to have been their final resting places in two cemeteries by pressure from underground streams on land already over-saturated with water.
Suddenly heavier caskets sorta made sense.

In this instance, it's all about finding creative ways to dehumanize those that disagree with you.

Jim
insulting someone is not an "ad hominem" if it isn't used to dismiss their argument. MM merely made a snide remark about people in general. He was not rejecting anyone's argument and was in fact just responding to a snide comment YOU made. So it was not ad hominem. Therefore Charles's comment was non sequitur.
Happy?

Some of my coworkers were laughing about this at lunch yesterday until I informed them that Trump never actually said it. They looked at me in stunned silence and said, "He didn't?" I said, "No, go track down the original story. There's zero substantiation. It's nothing but a 'sources say' rumor."
The ironic thing is that just a few minutes earlier, they were laughing about how only gullible people are fooled by fake news.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostWell yes. TDS is nothing more than an attempt to dehumanize and trivialize the concerns of people that disagree with you about Trump. It's juvenile, and its degrading. And you all love doing it oh so much.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostIt's easy to make people look stupid if you purposefully mislead them.
Most people are not expecting to be set up to be mocked by the people that are talking to them.
Sorry you think that is a funny thing to do.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostSo, yeah, back to the "everybody's being mean to me" routine, during which you make juvenile, degrading false accusations.
What is sad is you dragging this out, which is pure ad hominem.
It is a simple fact that the use of TDS is degrading and dehumanizing, and it is used here constantly as a means to dismiss legitimate comments made by people known to have a poor opinion of Trump. Why not ditch it and actually come up with a fact based, logically sound rebuttal for whatever was said that was dismissed as "TDS"?
