Here you go again with having to make your opinion known and right as always, when I already stated literally what you just said... What's funny is you put words in my mouth to make you more right over me... What you didn't grasp, is the concept I said showing your ignorance.. I said "quite a few"... That doesn't mean all of them did so.. That means a number of them did while a number of them didn't. I simply stated history has shown tyranny and genocide after gun control.. Stop trying to make yourself look more intellectual than you actually are.. Cause you're failing miserably. Besides, this a GUN CONTROL discussion... Stop trying to switch lanes cause I'm fully aware of leaders that committed genocide with or without gun control. I don't need you to tell me this. I knew this long before you did.
I became self aware at an early age. I bet you're still not self aware. I don't need news, media, and television to know what's going on.. I suggest opening that indigo, but don't lose your way.. You'd be surprised the wisdom and knowledge one can achieve through awakening their spirit alone. I don't even need internet for information.. Why should I care about what goes on in other countries? Or why should I care about pointless ideologies that don't benefit the world?
If America came to a downfall for whatever reason... I'm already prepared and got family with land way off the radar. We know how to survive.. We're warriors.
A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent.
1. It's a straw man because you presented yourself in a way as if to suggest that the less armed populace was a major factor when the evidence suggests it clearly isn't. You were trying to give your position legitimacy based on a point that doesn't exist.
2. Disagreeing with you and pointing out your flaws doesn't make me ignorant. In fact, your repeated insistence that me disagreeing with you makes me ignorant is
another strawman since you're building yet another point in your argument out of a fallacy.
3. I'm not putting words in your mouth. Do you know what that phrase means? Remember that debate where you kept saying I was suggesting there's no corruption in America despite that having nothing to do with my point (and being outright false?) That's putting words into someone's mouth. Pointing out you intentionally not acknowledging something because it hurts your poor argument isn't the same thing. It's not even in the same ballpark.
4. "Yourself and only yourself" is a god awful source of information because your own perspective is the single most biased source of information you can possibly rely on. You're totally ignoring anything that suggests you could be wrong or that you don't have the full picture and are living in a fully intentional state of total ignorance that you preach as enlightenment. You have no idea what you're talking about and you like it that way. You just sit there and make up things and decide things for yourself, evidence be damned.
5. You should care about what happens in other countries because we live in a modern era where everything is connected and a significant event in another nature can have a surprising impact on your own. Every time the US screws up their economy or US banks hurt the stock market, as an example, almost every nation on the planet suffers.
You should also care because you can learn from what other countries are doing better. Like education, medicine, science, religious and political freedom, crime rates, personal freedom etc etc. Every one of those things?
6. All human beings are self-aware. You're not special. Hell, several far less intelligent species are self-aware.
7. "Spiritual awakening" is not a source. There's exactly no evidence that a spirit, human or otherwise, exists. I won't rule it out because there's no evidence it doesn't either but I'm pretty sure that you're not so much awakened as you are uneducated, ignorant and kidding yourself.
8. You should care about idealogies because there's a lot that
do help the world and because there's a lot, like yours, that hurt it.
9. I was participating in a gun control debate? How is pointing out a huge strawman in your pro-gun argument switching lanes? Every time I poke a hole in one of your arguments you resort to ad hominem, false accusations and outright lies. It's not helping you.
10. America isn't special. You are not special. your family are not special. None of you are mythical warriors and if for some reason your country fell apart and turned into a warzone the chances are that one or all of you would die. This has nothing to do with gun control and I don't know why you brought it up but like with just about everything else you said you apparently need a wake-up call about that too. But I'm the one switching lanes.
Now if you'd like to address the actual flaw in your argument instead of going off on a crazed tangent again so I don't have to waste my time and the time of anyone reading this to pull yet another one apart, I'll rephrase it as a question.
If you know full well that there's no correlation between gun control and genocide, why bring it up? What relevance does it have to this debate because it clearly doesn't support your argument. Maybe try actually answering the question instead of going on a rant that amounts to nothing more than a personal attack containing no information and bragging about how enlightened and awakened you think you are.
