247. Tap...Tap....Tap....Is this thing on?

Believe it or not those two things are not mutually exclusive. Claiming I'm not for worker's rights and then proceeding to argue on that basis is the epitome of strawman. In fact it's even more ridiculous because you couldn't be more wrong, not that it matters because even if you weren't the very best you'd have is still strawman gibberish. Do you understand what strawman rhetoric is and why it's bullshit? It's not as if you don't employ that strategy on a daily basis and others haven't explained it to you. At some point one has to believe it's intentional, or at least hope so. The best you can say about any of it is it's a worthless red herring distraction that doesn't come within a cab ride of the central point, but if you want to start a separate thread about worker's rights, please do so and send me the link. I'll be happy to discuss it. I have quite a bit of knowledge in the area and I'd wager considerably more than you so you might learn a thing or two. I can let you know exactly how it relates to sex workers and what the opportunities and rights are under the law. However, somehow I don't think you really care about anything other than the red herring opportunity it presents so I'm not going to hold my breath waiting.

A straw man, also known in the UK as an Aunt Sally,[1][2] is a common type of argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[3] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man&quot , and to refute it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.[3][4] This technique has been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly in arguments about highly charged, emotional issues. In those cases the false victory is often loudly or conspicuously celebrated.
