Don't they sprinkle fairy dust wherever they go?

Do you have evidence that fairy penguins don't exist?

According to Ayer, isn't that argument a logical fallacy?

Isn't it arguable that your arguments cannot be argued in an argumentally intelligent way?

Wouldn't your response add to the argumentation?

Aren't you the only one here trying to argue?

Why wouldn't others want to argue as well (or nearly as well)?

If we continue this theme long enough won't it become argumentum ad nauseam?

Would that be better or worse than argumentum ad verecundiam?

Shouldn't you be ashamed of even suggesting such a thing?

How could you tell if I was acting or not?

Are we going to be judged on our acting?

How would you prefer to be judged?

Can Howard Stern, Sharon Osborne and Howie Mandel sit there and hit a button that makes a buzz and a big X appear if they don't like what I'm doing?

And if I don't like what you're doing, would you prefer me to put you on 'Ignore' or hit the 'Report Post' button?

Why are people always looking for a button that will do everything for them? What's happened with hard work and honesty?
