11 Lies being taught to American children

http://www.salon.com/2013/03/13/11_heinous_lies_conservatives_are_teaching_americas_school_children_partner/ I don't know why I'm surprised at any of this but I still find it amazing that an enlightened society can be so backwards especially when it comes to education their youth. Revisionism and social blindness is alive…

Its funny Poptech, I only mentioned that Gish Gallop phenomena in relation to the list itself, but I realise now that is what you have turned this discussion into. You release a deluge of automatic contradictions to everything said. You even drag out every point with almost the same format:
"LIE!/STRAWMAN!/SUBJECTIVE Quote where I, Poptech, said [something that I, Mark Hamill, never said you said]. You clearly don't understand X because of [Painfully awkward twisting of simple concept/clear English]"

Its funny quite how much this undermines how seriously you can be taken as a genuine debater. The extent to which you will contradict something that doesn't really even undermine your arguments (eg how long you have defended the list) makes it painfully honest that you are hear to dispute but not discuss.

Yes, you have made these Nazi like propaganda statements already.

Really? "Nazi like propaganda"?

You know, I really don't need to respond to your posts any more. Anything you post, I can just point to this accusation, this laughably forced godwin. I doubt anyone is actually following our discussion in this thread, but if anyone is, this is all they need to see to see the level of discussion you bring.
