Life experience is not a source of knowledge

Taking "knowledge" as things we learn about the world, on an individual level, one's life experiences absolutely allow us to gain knowledge about the world around us. They may not always be absolute truths, but are still knowledge.

Life in America has nothing to do with race, but everything to do with culture.

This is such a blanket statement. "kill" in what context? More clarification and proof needed.

In the United States, any citizen should be allowed to own a gun.

Our unusually high number of mass shootings and number of gun-related deaths that are accidents (i.e. Because a gun was not safely stored, shoot-first-ask-later causing deadly misunderstanding etc.).

In the United States, any citizen should be allowed to own a gun.

I agree. But prisons cannot hold someone dangerous for their entire lives all the time, and the justice system is complicated and flawed. We can't say that if someone is not currently in prison, they are not dangerous and are not at risk of reoffending.

Donald Trump constantly contradicts himself and therefore cannot be trusted

Also, for a political figure and a presidential candidate, your word is your bond. (To quote MB haha) There is undeniably a discrepancy between "I'm very against David Duke" and "I know absolutely nothing about him." The latter may be true, but that would mean the first remark was grossly

Donald Trump constantly contradicts himself and therefore cannot be trusted

Yes, Trump may not know Duke personally. However, he must have known enough about him - that he is racist and a part of the KKK - to have make those remarks previously. So while he may not have "lied," he most definitely knowingly evaded the truth, in order to not offend voters who support Duke.

Interesting, but I feel this is no longer on topic for this thread. It'd be awesome if you start a new one. And please provide some sources/specific facts: "it is well established" doesn't cut it.

The Holocaust didn't happen

Bless you for providing so much evidence and shutting the poster down like I never could. Could we copy&paste your post (with credit ofc) to show other people here who say "there is no evidence" ?

The Holocaust didn't happen

True, but that's all blind conjecture without evidence. And I see that another poster has provided evidence- opposing your argument.

The Holocaust didn't happen

There is someone elsewhere on this argument saying that we have no evidence for the Holocaust except eye-witness accounts. I'm no expert on this, but please, go prove him wrong :)

The Holocaust didn't happen

Protesting the fallacy report: OP posted a link to a similar argument thread with more points and evidence. He's not actually attacking without evidence.

The Holocaust didn't happen

We don't decide matters by "do you really believe???" We decide them by evidence. "It reads like fiction because it was"- please. That's the worst argument I've ever heard. Don't assume, show evidence and make arguments based on facts.

Hahaha. Please, tell me what safety training for speech would even entail. Oh, right, there is no such thing as safety for speech, because speech doesn't have the power to compromise safety. Unlike, you know, the weapon a toddler used to shoot her mother in the back because it wasn't safely stored.

Do the words "ideally, yes, but realistically, it's more complicated" mean nothing to you? Freedom of movement is also a right. Why are you not protesting the no-fly list? And no, don't use the words "some anonymous bureaucrat" with its negative connotation to draw

In the United States, any citizen should be allowed to own a gun.

For reference, here's my original argument: "Ideally, yes, but realistically, it's more complicated." We've established that a no-fly list and a no-gun list are fundamentally the same. Yet most people are not against the first. Hence, my point.

In the United States, any citizen should be allowed to own a gun.

That is just off-topic. We were comparing the no-fly list to a no-gun list here. If you have nothing else to say regarding this argument, go start a new premise. I've made my point here.

In the United States, any citizen should be allowed to own a gun.

A no-gun list might not be able to stop someone from buying a gun at a gun show. They're exceptions. The main no-fly list, or a similar no-gun list, makes flying or possessing a gun much more difficult for suspected terrorists, regardless of the small exceptions.

In the United States, any citizen should be allowed to own a gun.

Actually: "The No Fly List is a list, created and maintained by the United States federal government's Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), of people who are prohibited from boarding a commercial aircraft for travel in or out of the United States....the No Fly List, the Selectee List and the

Freedom of movement- US Constitution.

Exactly how does it lead to a police state and our destruction? Fallacy of slippery slope. Are you seriously suggesting that the government doesn't have a responsibility to keep its citizens safe from harm??! Well then, good bye police and firemen. Btw, no one said "guaranteed." Heck, nothing and
