Asking questions isn't the socratic method. Modus elenchus is something more than just asking questions as I did here.
It's actually 3 questions, and no I didn't edit the post.
Exactly. And this is why I said that this thread is about Palestine and I asked what the point of comparing it to other conflicts is. Remember that you said "a whole bunch of people get pissed off because they find out that the gross injustice they hate has happened countless times in other countries that they're too ignorant to have heard of." There are other more violent conflicts, so what, we shouldn't be pissed off about the Palestine conflict? This is a way to justify it away. Never mind Palestine, there are 36 other conflicts which are more violent! So stop being pissed off and move along. This is also why I said that this is about Palestine and it is irrelevant to mention that there are many other conflicts. You see how silly your reasoning is?
I don't dispute the evidence. Someone claimed that no one cares and you demonstrated that people do care. I agree with this. My issue is with your trying to diminish the Palestine conflict by comparing it to the 36 other "more violent" conflicts. You said that we were pissed of when there are 36 other conflicts that were more violent. So what? Does it affect the Palestinian conflict? Should we stop being pissed of now?
I agree with this. The Palestine conflict is not the only conflict in the world and it receives a lot of attention. That is as far as I will agree with you.Now, have you though that perhaps it has to do with the fact that Israel is involved, that it is still on going, that human rights and international laws are violated, that Israel is supposed to be a modern democratic state and so on yet it behaves like its neighbouring countries in its treatment of Palestine?
I have no problem with this. My question had to do with the implied consequences of you arguments, your "a whole bunch of people get pissed off because they find out that the gross injustice they hate has happened countless times in other countries that they're too ignorant to have heard of".
Of course I presented 0 arguments, I asked fuking questions bro lol. I wasn't countering your arguments either. You have no clue what this is about it seems. You claimed that there are/have been 36 other conflicts and that people do care about the Palestine conflict. You backed this up with a list of 36 conflicts and showed that there were 3 posts in this forum.
My issue is not with this as I explained above.
1. I am aware of most in the list.
2. Depends on the country you are from or where you go to get your news from.
3. Depends. The Palestine conflict is still ongoing.
4. You don't get it.
5. What points? I asked questions bro.
So your issue is that a person who posts once per day doesn't want to go through the effort to answer all your stupid little questions about an issue he's already stated he doesn't care about after you've been a cunt about it?
Fuck off.
Maybe if you hadn't been a cunt from the beginning I would defer from my average 1 post per day and answer your stupid questions.
But your obsession with Israel being so bad means you lose your shit and act like a cunt then try to claim people not replying to your cunt posts is a coward.
Fuck off. You're full of shit.
Just like your claim of knowing half of these conflicts... lying little shit.
