(Sorry for the political anecdote, BTW) Okay, so out of the spring of the hyper depressing conneticut shooting, and seeing a butt load of my friends posting why the 2nd amendment of the US constitution should be completely protected, I decided to talk about how I thought the second amendment is antiquated and pointless to keep. That stirred up some of my conservitive friends, and spawned some pretty bad counter-arguments, but my god, there was one so horrid- so idiotic, I just couldn't help but start to think that it was indeed the worst argument I've ever heard.
The person said this: "It's just funny how no one has any problems with firearms, or the second ammendment until something happens."
The responded to this saying "Yeah, it's funny how no one cared about food sanitation until The Jungle Was written, huh?"
So according to this guy, if you are indiffirent towards something or like it, and then find out something really bad about it, or something bad that can come from it, you should still be indiffirent/like it.
Say you were friends with someone and then they tried to murder you and your family for no good reason, it's funny how you don't want to be friends with them now, huh?
I just don't know how that can be an acceptable argument towards anything.
But, I didn't come here for political discussion- I came here to hear what the worst argument you have ever been presented with was. So, what was it?
