@EuropeanSlpr Stuck for 45 minutes in Aachen and now for more than an hour in Münster on the train to Berlin without so much as an update to be found. Airconditioning not working, and berths to sit on while I reserved a chair. Is this the way you treat your customers?

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis AND: where the fuck do I say you are talking about homosexuals after you made your weird South Park reference? I was attacking your definition of the word gay, which by all measures is incorrect and incomplete.

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis And my god, if there is someone of low intelligence, it must be you, for continuing to discount the idea that "gay" primarily means "homosexual". Where the fuck do you think the slur comes from then?

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis NO, it is not clear from your first tweets, as "gay" and "homosexual" are most often used synonymously. And at this point this is NOT what we are debating anymore. We are debating your definition of "gay", which is, again, very narrow and not the most common usage of the word.

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis You incorrectly discount that homosexual and gay are most often used synonymously and use a TV show as a reference to prove your point. If you don't see the logical fallacy in this, there is no point in debating you.

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@Par3stinker90 @otherac14608121 @ClayTravis Ohhh, wooow, look at the strength of this argument! No ad hominems, no statements that have nothing to do with the argument itself! So intelligent! You most certainly have won the debate. You get a gold star, dearie, your mommy will be very proud of you 😘😘😘

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis And, finally, you have not presented me with any evidence as to why my definition is incorrect, you have only kept pushing that your very strict definition is the only correct one, with only one reference that is in itself a fallacy. Why should I change my stance with only that?

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis Additionally, if the topic were my intelligence, you just massively contradicted yourself by calling me a "midwit", which is quite certainly not synonymous to "dumb". Another flaw in your logic, my dear. Maybe we should reassess who the "midwit" is.

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis Haha, by what authority 😂😂😂 Are you going to tell me, an actually gay man, that I don't know what "gay" means? If I define the word "American" to mean "dumb" because I heard it described that way in multiple TV shows, would you agree with this definition?

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis It's funny to me that the US actually working towards breaking up its alliances is something to be proud of. The US is dissolving its own status as a world power and handing the reigns to China, and you don't even notice it. Seems like we have a very different sense of humor.

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis Your South Park reference is a clear Argumentum ab auctoritate fallacy. Another one to add to your list. Additionally, a term wouldn't lose its broader definition if I were to write a popular TV show that uses that term in a much narrower sense. The same applies to South Park.

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis BTW, I am gay BECAUSE it means I am homosexual. Goodness gracious, you don't get to define the word "gay". In its most common usage, these terms are used synonymously, no matter what you tell yourself.

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis Oh dear, Merriam Webster does include derogatory terms. The term "gay" in its derogatory form is NOT the most common use of the word. Maybe it is in your circles, which is very telling about you, but NOT in society as a whole. Please leave your echo chamber if you think otherwise

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis Another logical fallacy - if I don't follow your non-dictionary definition of a word, I must be dumb. No my dear, I disagree, because I have my own knowledge and experience, and because of that I know factually that your definition is at the least fragmentary, if not wrong.

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis Haha, I do enjoy my tax rates because I don't go broke when an illness befalls me, I am not crippled by student debt and if I lose my job, I don't lose my income entirely. And no, your president's actions are actually strengthening the EU unity, that's a certainty.

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis In what world is South Park a conclusive and scientific reference? Don't see that this is yet another logical fallacy? Just because you use a very weird and strict definition of "gay" and some other people who watch a specific TV show do, does not mean society as a whole does.

[Tim Van Geel @TimotheusFlavii]

@otherac14608121 @Par3stinker90 @ClayTravis Additionally, the diagnosis for autism requires a bit more than what you're describing here, and in addition, your own system for diagnosis can also be very much used for how you communicate and how you use a very strict and weird definition of "gay".
