Effective Dialog?
February 20, 2018 at 11:59 pm (This post was last modified: February 21, 2018 at 12:02 am by RoadRunner79.)
WEST LAFAYETTE, IN—According to a recent study released by Purdue University, the most effective way to exchange ideas with another person is to immediately call that person a Nazi.

Just so we're all clear, you do know the Babylon Bee is a satirical news site modeled on The Onion, right?

I disagree! "Fucking Asshole" is far more effective!

You know what else is part of an effective dialog? Not tap dancing and beating around the bush!

Also spelling 'dialogue' correctly.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Lol. Some people sure seem to think so. Same with pointing out logical fallacies, it's actually just a sneaky way of people trying to feel smug and be smarter than the other person, not a dialog tool at all.

It also is something that has sprung almost entirely from the internet, internet forum people seem to think that philosophy and debate consists the of memorizing a list of logical fallacies and then pointing them out as frequently as possible and declaring victory, preferably with a really snarky meme.

Would this have still applied in Nazi Germany though?
