When you say it is bad to pick up a gun to shoot the working man...

When you watch people year after year pick up a gun and shoot the working man...

Then you plan and then pick up a gun and shoot the working man...

That makes you a hypocrite.

This thread and OP isn't some exercise in relative ethics. I wrote it. The topic is hypocrisy. The hypocrisy here is still crystal clear, despite 120+ posts of people trying to obfuscate it:





All the wiggling in the world won't get you out of this fact...

So basically we spent 150 posts establishing you were wrong on all your facts. That seems like a lot of posts.


If you just wanted to make an abstract point why not make the abstract point instead of making a bunch of statements that turned out to be wrong?

It doesn't matter who passed them. There are gas taxes all over the country and at the federal level. You don't have to tell me who passed them for me to create an argument for them.


Trying to tie that argument to this particular legislative action is just stupid.


If you want to talk progressivity and state taxes I am all for it but when you repeatedly deomstrate ignorance, partisanship, illogical thinking, and a general inability to understand any topic that is put before you it seems pointless to even try.

Because a semantic difference between the single word 'instituted' vs 'passed' is 100% irrelevant to the point and OP. As I've pointed out via innumerable posts leading up to this one.

At least you guys seem to be letting the definition of 'hypocrisy' sink into your skulls, however. That's a good sign.

So the reason you decided to make wrong factual assertions instead of a general point was that you wanted to make a general point and the inaccuracy of your factual assertions didn't matter?

Now we're getting into semantics of "Instituted" vs. "Passed"? Really?

This must be what Paul looks like when he reads this thread -

Not "we" or "me"... Yuki and SoO are spending 40+ posts trying to pretend the semantics of "instituted" vs "passed" matter to this topic. Because I refused to go running off after unrelated topics.

News flash: The semantics they're arguing for pages are STILL irrelevant to the topic.

Why does Abaddon continue to be wrong about the basic facts in this entire discussion?

Probably because his ARGLBARGL point doesn't make any sense if he doesn't make shit up.

I don't even know what the semantic argument over passed came from let alone how it was assigned to anything I said. There is a difference between creating the original tax and tweaking it though and that has nothing to do with either word. As I already pointed out the only reason any of this has come up because AA is a partisan hack who doesn't actually want to talk about the merits of a gas tax and what state taxation should be based on the desire to have a progressive tax structure.

This thread is most clearly about AA trying to call a political party he doesn't like hypocrites. Something he has failed at rather horribly.
