Too lazy to debate
September 6, 2016 at 9:31 pm
I have a cousin who loves to go into people's fb posts and argue. I'm way past my debating stage. Two or three years ago, bring it. I loved it. Now I just don't see the fun in it. I'm just going to get annoyed by the same ol' arguments, same questions, same "personal experiences".
So, here I am on a debate forum telling you I'm too lazy to debate.
Are you still debating theists? How do you find the drive to continue to answer to the same things over and over again?

Meh. I've tried in real life, but if I were able bodied and had some fat gimp on crutches arguing with me over this kind of stuf, I'd probably just put a $20 and a God pamphlet in his pants pocket and run away. Cripple can't get me!
On fora like this, I find I'm just not very well-read. I just started rereading Catcher in the Rye. That bad. I'd just type a sentence and a half and then just start silently headbitching about the choco-flan the taco people didn't give me.

Thank you for this. Lol!

I used to debate a lot.
Now, if someone posts religious bullshit, especially creationism, I either just ignore and block their posts on FB or tell them they're fucking idiots.
Patience is something that happens to other people.

Yeah. Maybe it's not just laziness. Maybe I lack patience, too.

I have very little patience, so I tend to go from willing to debate to "WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING STUPID?!?!" in 2-3 posts. I don't like getting that angry, so I just don't bother most of the time.

I think I go straight to "why are you so fucking stupid" immediately. No time wasted.

I try not to debate with anyone, on anything pretty much. Not that it always works out.

Meh. I try not to debate outside of AF.
I'm probably going to dial back my activity in the debate threads though.

Having them use the same old stupid arguments makes it easier to shoot them down.
Bring it on, mo'fo's.
