Most annoying argument tactics

[ArneHD]

If your not "pro" or for one thing, then they call you totally the oposite.

"I'm actually pro choice, but"
"BABY KILLER!"

"I think the Soviets where wrong taking the Baltic countries"
"You support Nazi's i get it"

Strawman.

Tenchar.

When people reply to your statement in a completely unrelated manner, I honestly just don't even know how to respond. See the "can you play guitar thread', the bit between merkingball and I, how do you reply to that?

Thats what I'm talking about? I don't even shred, I play Grunge.......which is almost the complete opposite of shred or heavy metal or any of that stuff.

Criticism is unpatriotic and thus bad.

Calling people Liberal or Commie just because they don't like rapid corporate capitalism.

Actually, annoying argument tactics?

I don't mind a real argument - even if they use the odd tactic - it's mostly the people who don't even argue - they beleive religiously and brook no argument.

So, I should say: Most Annoying Argument Tactic = 'God said...' or 'GWB said...' or 'Marx said...'

Assuming that only your opponents use irrational or faulty arguments.

i greatly dislike telling people what their belief/argument is, so you can counter that.
