Silence is neither consent nor complicity, you stupid piece of shit.

Boru

Boru you're attempting to argue with a fanatic. One who goes on unhinged rants and then gets pissy at you for not indulging in their nonsense.

So who’s arguing?

Boru

Maybe you're right. Did you know my spirit pal Steven Crowder says he worries about his bisexual past showing its' ugly head again? Did you know my spirit besty Gavin McInnes has an antifa tattoo from his youthful days before he became something very different. Kinda like me going from a Trudeau voter, to planning on voting for someone Helios calls fascist. My turn is almost fully complete muhahahaha. Fascism here we come.

I knew you were nearly finished baking the moment you started trying out your disseminating personality on us here my dude.

Silence or non-answers often speak volumes. If Chomsky is asked if when chilling with Epstein, was there underaged girls being raped, and Chomsky's answer was that I can neither confirm nor deny that I witnessed any of that, then that denial of giving an answer would speak volumes.

I'm going by what's more likely based on logic. Helios likely refused to indulge me in my thought experiment and give an answer because he would not consider taking away the right to alcohol. If someone was willing to take away the right to alcohol to save tens of thousands of lives, there would be no reason for them to hide that fact from the forum by refusing to answer, like Boru just freely and willingly answered the thought experiment with no issue. Now, if someone doesn't want the alcohol banned, then refusing to answer gives them plausible deniability and protects them from being confirmed as a hypocrite. It makes perfect sense.

The conspiracist mindset at work.

Sorry, but that is a misapplication of the law of the excluded middle as there are more than two possibilities here. This is why people with shit for brains shouldn't try to apply logic. Fail again.

And as everyone else has said it's easy to pay a price with other people's lives.

You do realize, that by not answering my thought experiment, you have answered my thought experiment. I can now confirm that you would not be willing to give up your alcohol, to save thousands or tens of thousand of innocent lives, but you are happily willing to give up other people's rights (guns), that they own to hunt and protect their own families from intruders who would mean to do them harm.

You make a fair point. I mean, who are we to deny the freedom of a 58 year old man to shoot a 14 year old girl in the head for playing hide and seek in his garden?

Nope, I have stated the reason I would not indulge in your thought experiment and that is all that it says everything you have just written is a narrative you have invented whole cloth from nothing.

Nope, I stated why I wasn't going to waste time indulging your thought experiment. Everything you have written here is just baseless conjecture.

It's also an Argument From Silence Fallacy. Indeed logic fail.

I wouldn't quite raise it to the level of conspiracy. Those generally require a little more evidence.
