There's more than just measles

Is there anyone here that believes in the vaccinations cause autism thing?

I feel like we are all debating the wrong eay

This is just the lounge, not civil debate

In Aristotle's Rhetoric he makes it clear that debate is to prove a point to an audience not an opposition

Not a debate

I meant because of the <#547645432604393482>

Just look at trials

oH you're talking to them

okay sorry about that

The prosecution and defense aren't convincing each other they are convincing the jury

@Bear. isnt it encephalitis which is inflammation in the brain

Like that is linked to measels

/shrug

XD

For convincing each other there is cognitive behavioral therapy

@Hamburger Guy That doesn't mean debate can't be about convincing opposition, as fruitless as it might be

@Fading that's what I am saying

Question Of The Day #49

Is it against our individual rights and freedoms to make vaccinations mandatory?

We want to know what you think. Speak your mind in the <#484514023698726912> grin

No !!

Lmao i need behavior therapy

Your opposition will never change their mind

jump in vc

@Hamburger Guy my ex girlfriend was a very devout christian and through a lot of debate she eventually chose to be agnostic/atheist. It can happen it's just rare

@Hamburger Guy You can choose not to do it because of the low success rate, but it's still something you can try. I agree, generally useless these days

@Fading cognitive behavioral therapy is more effective

@Hamburger Guy Do you really think you should use CBT on people who have a different opinion to you?

@Fading science is not up for debate but experimentation

@Hamburger Guy Interpretation of results is absolutely up for debate

That should be followed up with more experimentation, of course

And we did

And the earth is round

You know that feeling when you know you are wrong but half of you refuses to accept that?

save the bees!

That doesn't mean debate should be verboeten even if one side is demonstrating sheer idiocy

@Hamburger Guy I agree, Earth is round and flat

@Fading debate is for convincing audiences

@Human Sheeple if it's flat can you walk off it

Aristotle never meant it to be like this

@Hamburger Guy There isn't a rule that says that has to be the case, even if it is the most sensible form of debate
