My argument here is that you're going to believe what you want to believe, and this discussion is pointless. When 2038 rolls around and proves you wrong, then we can talk.

[-] smegforbrains@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

That's not an argument, that's another personal attack.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

The fact that you interpret everything as a personal attack is entirely a you problem. Meanwhile, I'm not here to argue with you. I don't need to convince you of anything, I don't live in your country, and I have no impact on the idiotic policies Germany passes. I'm just here to point out what a clown show it is for people looking from the outside.

I can see that you don't want to have a civil discussion with me, as you do not offer any arguments. You just seem offended that I point this out to you while actually citing sources and offering arguments to support my view.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

I'm not offended by anything, and your sources aren't contradicting anything I've stated.

[-] smegforbrains@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

That's right since you did not state anything that can be understood as an argument to support your point or to undermine mine.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

That's clearly what you believe, hence why there's no point to continue this discussion.

[-] smegforbrains@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

No it's not a discussion since you do not offer any arguments still.

Hers a little primer on the differences of discussion and arguments: https://langeek.co/en/grammar/course/1069/argument-vs-discussion

You were clearly arguing, while I was trying to keep the discussion civil by citing sources and offering data and arguments to support my opinion.

Did you read that? Do you have a counter argument to offer? Are you willing to engage in a civil discussion?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Do you seriously think you're providing some new information I wasn't aware of and that I'm about to have some new revelation here as a result? ๐Ÿ˜‚

[-] smegforbrains@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Yes I do think so. My opinion is that you don't know how to have a civil discussion. I think you should read that very carefully, since you succumb to logical fallacies all the time and do not provide arguments or cite credible sources in support of your opinion.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

My opinion is that you've wasted your whole day trying to have an argument with a stranger on the internet. And that's just not healthy behavior bud.

[-] smegforbrains@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Again I'm not trying to have an argument. I'm trying to convince you to engage in a civil discussion. And I do think it's very healthy to support opinions with arguments and sources instead of evasion and personal attacks.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Again, those were provided to you a long time ago, and then you just kept perseverating. You seem utterly incapable of simply moving on.

[-] smegforbrains@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

I don't think you did. You resorted to personal attacks and evasion, without citing a single source or arguments to support your views or undermine mine.
