Must be so... Victor said so. We all know he's the only one who can present 'real' information.

If I posted a link to sesame street to try to explain quantum theory you have every right to say it isn't real information...

True. While simplistic, sesame street at least properly structures an argument.

Well, the subjects in the videos seem to have better credentials than "producer of children's show".

You're acting a lot like tonygraz lately... attacking the source, and not the message. *shrug*

When it comes to Prager u I will attack the source. The video I saw was so horribly done, with so little critical thinking and so clearly designed to only appeal to someone who already was thinking that way (as in, "watch this, feel good about your already preconceived notions, forward it on to all your facebook friends, spread the stupid") that there is no way I will watch another. The video was so stupid that there is no way that anyone with any "message" of value would associate themselves with that site (and since when is the point to have a "message"? It should be a critical argument, not a cheerleading "message"... but I'm assuming you used the term colloquially).

I have no idea what was in your Prager u link. There is no way in hell ill allow myself to be made dumber by watching another one of those things. Anything with that name associated is categorically thrown out.

Paraphrase: I did not watch the video. In conclusion, the contents of the video I did not watch are absolute hogwash.

Another false comparison. Damn, bro!! You'ze on a roll today!

Did you not sleep well this weekend? I mean, you're usually a little sharper.

That'd be like saying Einstein got a couple things wrong early on... he's a quack so nothing else he says is right. (even if he did turn out to be right about the wrong thing)

Macs. I gave you an opportunity to try to sell me on another Prager u video. I specifically told you to find one and sell me on why that one is good where the one I saw was an aberration.

You said you didn't have the time. I certainly am not going to waste my time on an information source which has so far proven to be 100% incorrect when I've looked at it... you expect me to waste my time when you aren't willing to waste yours.

You say it's 100% incorrect, yet never refuted any information.

Tbh - I don't even remember which video it was, but you can't just say it's 100% wrong and not say why. That's called an opinion. Sure, you're entitled to it, but don't act like it's fact.

I already posted a link to that discussion. You said you didn't have time to read it. Well I don't have time to retype everything I already typed.

I was shown a video... it was crap. So much craptacularness that I have no reason to ever see another by that individual. 2 girls 1 cup had less crap in it. I explained how it was so crappy and devoid of intelligence there.

If you're so hell bent on using Prager u videos as an argument, and want me to think they are a valid argument (you don't need my approval... the video I saw certainly wasn't designed to get anyone's approval who doesn't already believe what it is saying... you can go on with your bad self posting those links all you want)... then you will need to sell me on the basic idea that even one of their videos can be of any value.

Or we can continue on with you posting a link to Prager u and me not watching it and posting that Prager u isn't real information. That works for me too. ..

Again... one video is bad (in your opinion) so immediately all the rest of them are dismissed.

Dunno why this is so hard to understand. Some things are bad enough that you don't need to try twice.

If you smoke a white owl grape... are you going to take someone seriously when they tell you the cherry is different? No.. you know the same crap level of raw material went into it. You would need a certain amount of convincing to be willing to try another flavor.

well, to be fair, the two girls SHARED one cup, so there was really only half as much crap as one had a right to expect...

The new muppet is a red headed and autistic, perhaps she can tell MACS what is wrong with that Prager U. video. Drafter saw her boobs when he was looking for Bert.

Statistically unsound.

you eat one bad oyster you won't eat another. One is enough. We get it. But don't think for one moment that it's logical. It just "is what it is". Not sure why you'd want to make it appear like it's sound advice.

I never said it was statistically sound tail. It's expedient.
Just like I only have so many cigars to smoke in my lifetime and I'm not going to waste time trying out the entire flavor collection of white owls, I only have so much time in my life remaining. There's a lot of idiots posting dumb information from bad sources. Why wouldn't I do this? I'm not going to watch 25 videos of this Prager ass just to get a statistically relevant number. 1 is enough for me to judge him.

Haven't done a statistical sample in decades, but one would have to randomly select a sample of a size sufficient to get the desired percentage of validity. On the other hand, one White Owl is enough sometimes and one Prager as well.

Ya know what's hilarious to me, though? The fact you'd be jumping all over the false equivalencies if someone else did it. Yet... here you are, doing it.

If it's the first Monte #2 you ever smoked? Sure.
The first Cuban I ever smoked didn't wow me. The prices were high compared to domestics I liked. I didn't smoke Cubans again for a couple years. It was only because enough BOTL who's opinions I trusted on that topic suggested I try others that I gave them a try.

I have said... multiple times... that I'm willing to watch another if you take the time to convince me that its worthwhile. You've said multiple times that you don't think it's worth your time. That's fine. Maybe a couple years will go by and someone will convince me.

I think the moral of the story is bomb MACS with every white owl and gas station cigar you can find. He will continue to try them just in case the ones he smoked previously were the exception not the rule.

Perhaps it's a question of taste. Victor has tried the Prager on the menu and didn't like the taste at all. MACS doesn't have the time to take a bite. I don't like red beets and never had another portion after the first. Golden beets are OK- they don't taste quite as much like dirt- Trump must love them.

Prager U is not an accredited institution of higher education. It is a source of opinions that are clearly conservative, and sponsored by an oil company whose primary business is fracking. Some critics say it is staffed by mostly old white conservatives, and is designed to indoctrinate middle school and high school aged students. Other critics say meaner things about its content...

...and beets are never discussed at PragerU...
