Why the USA is a disgrace

[paulpablo]

EP there was no argument, or strawman argument.  The thread got to the point where a conversation about where people would rather live had arisen, then someone explained they would rather live in America than a lot of other places in the world even though it isn't perfect.

You made a strawman argument by saying the world isn't divided between hellish countries and the USA, which no one said was the case to begin with.

You're basically saying hey your statement is too simplistic so I'm going to purposefully misinterpret it to mean things you never said, claim you were arguing about something you weren't, then argue against the points you never made.

No, I didn't. I just stated my opinion on the matter, same as her. I never said she made that argument. If I'm to be accused of anything its of wrongly accusing her of the same.

No, I'm not saying that. Now look who's straw manning me. So you're going to call me out on something only to do it yourself not two seconds later? So, then, make your mind about it. Is it O.K. to do it or not?

No because you didn't just make that one statement, you followed "The world isn't just America and the rest of the world a hell hole" up by saying "It sounds as if you think the USA is special, well guess what, it's not."  Which was directed at nymphs argument, both statements were fairly obviously directed at nymphs argument but if you want to be awkward and childish and pretend the first one wasn't it doesn't matter either way, the second statement clearly was you making claims it SOUNDS like she's making then arguing against that claim yourself.
