Google CEO Sundar Pichai to Meet with Top GOP Lawmakers

That's a straw man. I was just pointing out the flaw in your logic about laws being government infringement.

Really? I was parodying your lack of logic. Why is it that you can't enforce child pornography, but still refrain from other kinds of government infringement. Please explain the reasons you so carefully gave above before you started to poison the well by invoking child porn. Provide quotes. Or is there a hole in your logic there?

Nah, you tried to set up a straw man with the "So you are saying {{straw man}}" to knock it down.

And giving counter-examples is not poisoning the well, unless you personally have a history with violating child pornography laws that I'm not aware of. Then that would be discrediting you as a pedophile, not your argument, and in which case I apologize for picking such a touchy counter-example for you.

I was parodying you with a reference to "lobster" logic.

I'm going to be charitable and think you're trolling here, not hilariously lacking self-awareness.

Thanks, I guess? That's still a "lobster" straw man, by your own characterization. Neither is it definitively poisoning the well (unless you're a pedophile); or trolling, since it was you who brought up poisoning the well, making child pornography about your character. This is an awful lot of patronizing and reading into a counter-example to avoid addressing it.

You're the one who failed to come up with the quote I asked for.

No it’s just that by saying you oppose feminism and equal opportunity because you want small government it’s implied that in general you don’t think the government should protect people and would probably for the same reason oppose child pornography laws- or really any law. I’m curious- do civil rights laws also go against your small-government principles?
