Firstly and foremostly, you can't disprove his argument by indicting his character. That's some weak bullshit and I know you're smart enough to know better. Attack the idea, not the speaker.(

You assume we're in a rational debate. However, I am engaged with iruinedyourday, which by definition renders the debate irrational. As you can see by my previous post, he engages in personal attacks flagrantly and often, and any/all attempts to inject cool rational debate into the mix just goes straight over his head. As someone smarter than me said "You can't argue someone out of a position that they weren't argued into." He's one of those people who makes decisions based on emotions and feelings. And so I went for that approach by exposing his hypocrisy and lies, to possibly shame him into rethinking his support of state sanctioned theft. Of course, that's probably a silly dream. As we have seen multiple times now, pointing out lies and contradictions in his argument just lead to anger and further ossification of his opinions.
