At which point I will get up on a soapbox, preach a bit while ingoring everything you’ve said, even if it’s actually something worth talking about. I will then end with a hopeful note that you can find the truth if you just open your heart (or some such phrase) and that I pity you.

Wait, so if someone anoynymosly is a jackass on the internet, other people will actually take the jackasses opinions as their own?

It’s time that someone had the courage to stand up and say, “I’m against those things everybody hates!”

Now, I respect my opponent. He’s a good man, but frankly, I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING HE JUST SAID!

I say your two cent titanium tax goes too far!

And I say your two cent titanium tax doesn’t go too far enough!

I will seize on one tiny portion of your post, deliberately misinterpret that and set up a straw-man which I will then proceed to beat up on, while ignoring approximately 97.3% of your argument.

I will now belittle your beliefs, because they do not rigidly conform to mine. I will find some small inconsistency, and rabidly apply it to all other parts.

Dietram A. Scheufele has some other seriously brainy/interesting research as well, that you can find via Google’s scholarly papers search. http://scholar.google.com/citations?sortby=pubdate&hl=en&user=j2-5w_AAAAAJ&view_op=list_works

For those wanting to read the original study by Scheufele, here’s a link. http://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=j2-5w_AAAAAJ&sortby=pubdate&citation_for_view=j2-5w_AAAAAJ:kRWSkSYxWN8C

Slippery-slope argument with hints of self-aggrandized statements! And a personal attack citing your appearance and your faith!

(*snirks* Yeah… The misspellings were a wonderful touch. I winced in sympathy.)

I tried to click through to find the original study, and the link here is not to it directly but to an article on live science. Although that article has many links, none are to the source study. Very frustrating.

And then I attack your unimpeachable sources by telling you that I’m right, because the Bible says so.

God, you idiots will do anything you’re told, won’t you? You just bend over and ask for more like good little sheeple! You’re told to make faux-aggressive comments dripping with forced sarcasm, and you do it without question like the unoriginal baboons that you are!

… Wait a minute…

I oppose everything you stand for! Except for those things that I’ll re-word in a combative manner to make it seem like I’m opposing you even though I agree if you actually examine the things I said, which I won’t.

My sources are unimpeachable, but yours are merely mouthpieces of a vast conglomeration of small minded fools.
