Watching a Straw-Man Fallacy Being Used to Usher in a Strange, Amusing, Masturbatory Self-Debate

The following debate originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “NaturalNews.com“…

"Overmedicated and undereducated is exactly how they want us."

“Over-medicated and under-educated is exactly how they want us.”

Murilo M.: Well, I know that to the uninformed it may seem creepy the idea that lots of people, including children, take medication, but if you take your time to study neurology and psychiatry you will understand the reasons behind it. There are good reasons why lots of people are medicated. The only problem is that unfortunately some people are misdiagnosed and end up taking the wrong medication.

Murilo M.: Mental problems are more common than people think, and medication can be of great help. I say that because I know how much the substance Mirtazapine has helped me, it has made magic. And also because I know people with ADHD and I know how much Ritalin has helped them.

Rayn: The artwork says “overmedicated,” and you appear to have formulated your very own personal definition of what that means to you. You’re arguing against a straw-man you created, and simultaneously calling your imagined opponent “uninformed.” Quite amusing, actually.

Murilo M.: My entire point was to criticize people who believe ADHD is a myth and medicating children with Ritalin is wrong. The same applies to people who think depression is just sadness and anti-depressants are dangerous.

Americans May Be Forced to Pay a Second Time for War of Aggression Against Iraq

This is What they Were Afraid Of — Iraqis Use ‘Sue the Saudis’ 9/11 Bill to Sue US for 2003 Invasion:

(Matt Agorist) The warmongers in the US government have just had their fears realized as Iraq plans to use the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA), aka Sue the Saudis Bill, to demand compensation for the US invasion of Iraq.

Last month, the U.S. House of Representatives, following the lead of the Senate, passed a bill allowing Americans to sue Saudi Arabia over 9/11. When the bill made it to the President’s desk, however, Obama quickly showed his loyalty to Saudi Arabia and vetoed it. However, that was only the beginning of the rollercoaster.

Days after his despicable veto, the Senate stepped up and overwhelmingly voted to override it.

The reason the for the veto was obvious as this bill would, in theory, open up a venue and allow lawsuits against the U.S. for alleged sponsorship of terrorist activities in their own countries – a Pandora’s Box that President Obama, and the CIA most certainly do not want to open with the world watching. However, it appears, for now, that Pandora’s Box is open.

My Commentary: It’s about time… Too bad most Americans didn’t disavow the criminal government alleging to represent them, and hence, deserve a major share in the blame, now. Enjoy paying twice, tax-slaves: once for the wars of aggression and crimes against humanity your government committed, and a second time, when you are held accountable for them. Complacency is complicity. Always has been, and always will be. Perhaps, you’ll pay a third time, when some other country decides to invade the US for sponsoring terrorism. And, maybe, you’ll even pay a fourth time, on Judgment Day… Who knows what the future holds?

Hopeful That Wikileaks Will End Hillary’s Presidential Campaign, and More!

I originally posted the following information and commentary onto my Facebook wall…

As the political campaigns of both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump continue in the United States, the battle for presidency has begun to resemble reality television more than genuine politics.

Statements are made, stances taken, and arguments ignited that all seem far too scripted and controversial to have occurred organically. Whether or not this is the case, we as a collective have fully bought into it, as this first presidential debate broke viewership records, with 84 million tuning in to the “interesting” spar, according to Nielsen.

While both presidential hopefuls have already endured significant scrutiny, it appears as though Hillary Clinton may be in line for the next devastating blow, though she has already been victimized by the stealthy work of Julian Assange on several occasions:

My Commentary: Sweet!!! Can they end Trump’s, while they’re at it?

The Nobel Peace Prize is Absolutely Meaningless, and Represents Pure Political Theater

I originally posted the following commentary onto my Facebook wall after receiving an automated “Tell Your Friends” about the upcoming Nobel Prizes from the social network…

Facebook:

"Congratulations Are in Order This year's Nobel Prize winners will be announced this week, honoring those who have dedicated their lives to making the world more open and connected through science, literature and the pursuit of peace."

“Congratulations Are in Order
This year’s Nobel Prize winners will be announced this week, honoring those who have dedicated their lives to making the world more open and connected through science, literature and the pursuit of peace.”

My Commentary: *sigh* Barack Obama, the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner, was really just a War Criminal, who proceeded to continue engaging in Wars of aggression, and committing Crimes against humanity for eight solid years. He also became the first Nobel Peace Prize winner to bomb another Nobel Peace Prize winner, too… A regular trend-setter.

Doctors Without Borders Awarded Nobel Peace Prize in 1999:

So… either “WAR IS PEACE,” and we’ve been living in 1984 for almost a decade…

Or, alternatively… if you still have any morals, principles and a conscience left…

THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE is ABSOLUTELY MEANINGLESS, and merely represents PURE POLITICAL THEATER!

Statism is the World’s Most Popular Religion!

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, Claudia C…

"A new perpsective on global religion: More than half the people on the planet call themselves Christian or Muslim, making their faiths the largest in at least 200 countries. Looking beyond the majority, however, reveals patters of belief indicative of former connections and future developments."
