Well I had an uncle that was really into Diet Soda and Prostitutes, his only vices.

He died of cancer, and I don't think it was the prostitutes. Though they may have contributed to his syphilis.


I am sure that syphilis has nothing to do with the development of cancer either. /sarcasm

EDIT: I want to try that Fitz cream soda now. Looks amazing.

Besides being an asshole move, calling someone a fucktard or ignorant because their opinion on the disgusting-ness of a soda is a logical fallacy. Specifically, argumentum ad hominem - "which consists of criticizing or attacking the person who proposed the argument (personal attack) in an attempt to discredit the argument. It is also used when an opponent is unable to find fault with an argument, yet for various reasons, the opponent disagrees with it."

<sarcasm>Not that this really matters since ben is always right, and everyone else in the world are a bunch of ignorant nubcakes. *rolls eyes* Thank god we have the great Ben Williams to show us just how wrong and ignorant we are when it comes to our favorite soda. What would we do if we couldn't sign into the webforum without at least one person trying to start an argument out of nothing every 6 months? </sarcasm>

Seriously, do you even read? Sorry, let me rephrase. Do you even COMPREHEND what you read? Because I wasn't knocking your stupid favorite soda, I don't even remember what it is, nor do I care. I was knocking your absolutely retarded statement that ALL diet soda is disgusting (in response to Blitz's statement of "I drink diet"). You made a blanket statement for at least dozens of sodas, and not only was the response ignorant but you didn't even phrase it to mean "I think diet soda is disgusting." The way you said it implied "Blitz is disgusting because he drinks diet."

Now, to be fair, if you've tried and hated every single mainstream diet soda, then I guess I'll eat a certain amount of crow, but I sincerely doubt that you have, which makes you ignorant.
Personally, drinking regular soda makes my teeth feel caked in sugar, my stomach hurt, makes me feel jittery, and overall just makes me feel really gross. But then you don't see me telling everyone who drinks regular soda that it's disgusting or they're disgusting.

Oh, and nice inclusion of the logical fallacy, I'll have to remember that next time I'm on an internet forum. You twat.

For what it is worth, I don't think someone should to type "I think" or "I believe" or "it is my opinion that" all the time just to indicate that what they say is clearly not based on complete god-like knowledge of all things in existence.

If companies actually thought diet sodas tasted better they wouldn't advertise that their diet sodas taste more like their regular sodas to get people to drink them. It appears that most diet soda taste creators aspire to be more like their regular counterparts, and making the assumption that companies strive to make their products "better" it is logical to conclude that regular sodas are in fact "better" .

really? I wouldn't have expected that... I suppose I'll have to try it sometime.

<short rant>
Also, in regards to arguments over a person's favorite soda... WHO THE HELL CARES? If someone thinks that diet soda tastes like a pile of dog shit, fine. If someone thinks that diet soda tastes like ambrosia from the heavens, fine. Sure, you can debate with each other on how the other is ignorant or dumb or whatever, but it isn't going to accomplish anything. Here's the truth about the whole thing: Even if you do manage to make a decent argument with plenty of supporting points, the other person isn't going to change his mind just because you say he should. I can understand that you want to validate your position, but getting mad over a discussion over diet vs regular is retarded. Who cares if one tastes better than the other? Everyone has a different idea on what tastes good anyway, so it's not like you can change a person's taste buds to suddenly crave diet/regular soda over the alternative.

To my understanding, the purpose of this thread was to determine who liked what soda and why. I can understand a little bit of challenges between people to see whose soda can beat whose in a fight to the death, but peope just need to relax and realize that it's soda, not politics.

Talk about not reading - I never even said anything about what my favorite soda was - only that drinking diet was gross. Nowhere did i call or imply (unless you want to start imagining things) that blitz was disgusting.

That's disgusting.

Since it was an opinionated thread, its safe to assume that its my opinion that drinking diet soda is disgusting. But hey, you're just a hypocritical douchebag - so I'll let it pass that YOU didn't read what I said.

And since you're being fair, I have, in fact, tried most all mainstream diet sodas. The parentals only buy diet soda. Mom likes pepsi products, Dad likes coke. My house is well stocked in various (and all disgusting) So I think I'm probably better experienced than most when it comes to my diversity in diet sodas.

And the logical fallacy was just for you, ben. You have a certain propensity to provoke internet arguments (as was the case here) that are based purely on your whimsical (and retarded) opinions. You then behave like an asshole and simply resort to calling people who disagree with you names (or sometimes even start off with that). And I just thought that noone gives a flying fuck what you think, or that you assume you are better than them in every way.

So fuck you and your textbook superiority complex, dick.

Wait.......hold on a second.

I have a propensity to start internet arguments?

Let's look back at this thread. What's the title? "What is your favorite brand of soda?" Ah, excellent, right at the top of the page, that was easy.

As you said,
amd2800barton wrote:

Ok, so hmm, let's see.
You wanted to come in the thread and post that diet soda is disgusting, yet contribute nothing more (and not even stay on topic)?

Who's the instigator now?

and I don't know what smoke you've been cracking, but if you look at threads that don't involve you, I actually don't really start many arguments (anymore). It's really just when you're involved, because like it or not, you also have a superiority complex and act like you know everything. Paradoxically, I can't stand this, and we end up butting heads. Thus, it seems to you that I like to argue on the internet when really most of the arguments I start are just in threads you're involved in.
I also find it funny that you call my opinions retarded (by the way, I'd like to know where this comes from) when half the posts of the last page keep saying something to the effect of how everyone's going to have different opinions. I also like to think that in addition to calling people names, I also put forth decent arguments (WHILE calling people names). It really just seems like you see what you want to see.

Anyways, the amusement for this thread seems to have dwindled, so unless you can reignite the passion I think I'm done with it.

I'm going to have to agree with benladen on this one. He puts out his points, rife with sarcasm and insults as emphasis.. not really a personal attack on anyone. barton seems to have gotten his panties in a bit of twist and missed this.
