Con Duper: Half-Baked

I'm simply engaging in free speech. You indoctrinate.

I'm merely identifying a threat. You level a threat.

There's no such thing as fraud in business. Caveat emptor! Also, "religion" is a fraud and must be rooted from the face of the earth.

I am a religious and political atheist. I am guided only by reason, logic, evidence, common sense, and the infield fly rule.

You don't commit a crime if you hire a hit-man. The hit-man commits the crime. Whether you pay, incite, or in any way encourage him to carry out the hit is irrelevant. Also, if you tell him he'll go to Heaven for carrying out the hit, but go to Hell if he fails to carry out the hit, you indoctrinate him. That is a crime.

Me: "I have reviewed the evidence. I have concluded vaccines aren't safe and effective as billed by the medical establishment."
Con Duper: "Is that why you keep playing up the risks of vaccines and downplaying their benefits?"

Me: "I believe the risks are real and the benefits overstated. I'm not 'playing up' or 'downplaying' anything."
C.D.: "You mean anti-vaxxers have preyed upon your fear of autism and asthma to dissuade you from vaccinating yourself and your kids?"

Me: "You're couching my position in tendentious terms, but for all intents and purposes, yes."
C.D.: "Then it's not voluntary is it? Anti-vaxxers have indoctrinated you."

Me: "I am open to evidence to the contrary. The opposing side has not made its case."
C.D.: "Spoken like a true slave. The anti-vaxxers have brainwashed you. Anti-Vaxxism and State: convincing you they are two different things while using fear to control your mind."
