Worst Argumentative Lines

[supercowmanguy]

I personally always have this strange tendency of getting into scholarly debates when I get plastered, and over the years I've run into some rather odd arguments to support their sides. So I'm curious as to what strange ones everyone here has heard.

In a debate about whether it's appropriate to spank (hit) your children:
"You need to spank children so that you won't scar them emotionally when you yell."

 

[Armored Prayer]

"Your mom."

I cant tell you how many times I argued with others and they used that phrase.

 

[antipunt]

"You just need to go to the army. That'll fix you up!"

 

[BabySinclair]

any argument that doesn't follow a logical form

 

[the_unseen]

allow or even FORCE people to carry loaded guns to stop or reduce gun violence.

 

[El Poncho]

Your Face.

He should of got executed because he did blah blah blah.

Oh yeah well... Your face!

 

[sk0lltap]

some one who contradicts them self, this happens quite a lot around me.

People that just have a big long rant then as soon as you say your opinion they shout over you. ¬¬

 

[cartzo]

"do you have kids" no "well then you dont know what youre talking about"

 

[khaimera]

"do you have kids" no "well then you dont know what youre talking about"

I get that one a lot which is hard because my job is partially to help people become better parents. I get told the same thing about my age, even though I'm in my late 20s.

"you're a drummer, what do you know"
"well maybe you shouldn't have been there in the first place"
"I'm in woman's studies, and I'm the one who takes all the classes, so if I say there's no such thing as the female gaze, then there isn't"

 

[Citrus]

"____________________ like the Nazis."

or

"___________________ like Hitler."

 

[TheMedicated]

"I'm not (whatever) BUT (comment that supports they are)"

example: "I'm not a racist but (insert racist comment)"

 

[BehattedWanderer]

"you're a drummer, what do you know"
"well maybe you shouldn't have been there in the first place"
"I'm in woman's studies, and I'm the one who takes all the classes, so if I say there's no such thing as the female gaze, then there isn't"

But there is a Female Gaze. It implies "You're Retarded", "That's stupid", and "Why am I even talking to you" and several others all in one sinle facial expression.


"Your Face."

Any argument that has little merit, or something said in rage. "...IT IS THE EAST, AND JULIET IS THE SUN!". See? Rage makes everything seem dumb (other than id Software).

 

[crimsonyte]

"Because I said so"
"It's written in a book/newspaper/online/etc"

well that is one fallacy of arguments, emotionally charged language like "Okay Mr. Fuckhead" can usually be tossed out right away (I hear that more than I would like actually), then there is also the opposite. Euphamysm (sp???), like "it is important that we help the citizenshiply challenged find their happy spot in their own nevereverland!"

both can be equally as hilarious

 

[Xero Scythe]

i know you are but what am i?
because i said so.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

When people say 'Can I finish?!' even though they started talking by directly cutting through your sentence.

 

[bodyklok]

"But that's what (insert celebrity here) said, they wouldn't lie to me!"
