Teh Umpteenth Annual June Stundie Nominations

[Alareth]

It's that time again kids and it looks like Travis isn't around to get things going so somebody else has to.

The rules are simple:

• All nominations require a link or a screenshot
• Try to keep it short. Overly long paragraphs of text or elaborate setups and explainations detract for the purity of the humor.

Nominate away.

 

[Childlike Empress]

I nominate this nomination.

 

[TSR]

I nominate this nomination.

Perhaps you don't understand what a Stundie is?

Perhaps you don't understand what a Stundie is?

Most likely better than you.

I see. No wonder no arrests have been made. Which of the Bilderberg's plans have come to fruition?

No idea. I have no access to that data. Duh. What a dull question.

It's a very pertinent question. How do you know that this data exists?

Because they are meeting. There is data about what they do, and which consequences that has. Both is not available to me. You confuse me with a "New World Order" believer. This was directed at you, as you well understood. Read it. kthxbye.

Where can I find this data?

Read it. If it's not a global cabal, then what are you talking about?

CE, you gave "Because they are meeting." as the justification. You are claiming data exists, and you know it exists because of these meetings. You claim there's data about the Bilderberg plans, yet admit you don't actually have it.

 

[Childlike Empress]

You claim there's data about the Bilderberg plans

Where?

There is data about what they do

Do you need me to jump on your chest and start you breathing, too?

I don't see anything about "plans" there. I see "do". If you want to continue this petty argument, go read where the "conversation" starts (click the "This" link in the quote).

I for one am happy that after all those years I was finally nominated for a Stundie.

 

[TSR]

So a chest jump is required.

Your initial response in that subthread was to a request for information about the plans. Your response(s) indicated that you *believe* that such data exists, and that you believe such data exists because the group was meeting, which is apparently what they do, even though you had no access to that data.

Had you written, for example "I have no idea whether such data exists" there likely would have been no continuation of that subthread, and thus no nom.

But you didn't.

There is no stundie in pointing out your own leap of "logic" that because they were meeting, there must be data on which of their plans had actually been realized.

Yours was a self-nom this time.

Just to make it official, I nominate CE's "contribution" to this thread.

 

[dafydd]

Where?

You said that there were data. We will take it that you have no idea if such data exists, or what the data is, if it does exist.

 

[Childlike Empress]

Your initial response in that subthread was to a request for information about the plans.

That "subthread" started much earlier with a preemptive self-quote by me to avoid petty straw man arguments i'm not interested in. Followed by a series of empty little quips by dafydd mistaking me (and Jon Ronson) for Alex Jones fans who think that inside that meeting the decimation of world-population and the latest chemicals to put in the trails are planned. At the time when dafydd repeated his clueless question, I was already making fun of him. I neither know if they are making specific plans of any kind, nor if any of those plans have been successful, and that's what I was telling him before closing the loop.

Hope you at least enjoyed my educational link about Stundie.

Have fun, folks.

Most likely better than you.

Empress is right, she's been nominated for more of them than you have.

In addition to CE's entire tap dance above ("I'm only pretending to believe in the things in which I believe!"), I would like to submit this one from FaceBook.

When asked why there are no peer reviewed 911 Truther papers:

Michael Fullerton: Hmm...basic science vs some science-illiterate guy posting appeal to authority logical fallacies on the Internet...which to chose?

Bill Nada: A peer reviewed study isn't an appeal to authority. Keep swinging for the fences.

Michael Fullerton: Bill, claiming a study is a fact simply because it has been "peer reviewed" definitely is an appeal to authority. Peer review merely helps uncover errors it does not completely validate the work. This simple fact is something science illiterates consistently have trouble with.

You could probably drop the the upper 1/3 [of one of the Twin Towers] from 50 feet and you wouldn't get a like result.

Clay Moore, everyone.

Clay Moore, everyone.

Going right along with ergo's "moon-sized field of rubble" that has become so infamous around these parts. Birds of a feather, etc., etc.

I don't think it's a requirement that the nominee understands why he/she has been nominated, so I wouldn't bother trying to explain it.

I'll take a shot at outlining the nature of CE's logic problem

Asked what BG plans had come to pass , the response was that the data on that was unavailabe.
Follow up query is to question how it was deduced that such data exists, to which the response was essentially that since the BG exists and meets then the data must exist even though CE, and by extension, no one outside of the BG can have that data on plans or their consequences/outcome.

CE's logic problem therefore is that there is nothing more than bald speculation to back a claim of nefarious intent by this group. I have the same amount of evidence to back a claim that the BG gather as they do for a backgammon tournament

 

[Travis]

I'd like to thank Alareth for getting this going while I was absent.

I will try to get the May finals up tomorrow.
