I think what s/he means by 'tired out' is that the majority of people who hear it are tired of hearing it, even though [whatever problem] needs to be fixed.

nice colors dude.

Crying.

The steps above are, basically, crying (or at least whining) - just in a very long, drawn-out, rhetorical kind of way. It's an extension of "poor me" into "poor us".

Make sweeping generalizations about (mainstream group) that they are all too {afraid / stupid / closed-minded} to accept divergent viewpoints, while ignoring any factual evidence or logic they may present. 5. Exclaim that this is unfair and that (divergent group) should have the same {rights / recognition / freedom} as (mainstream group). 6. Urge opponent not to be a part of the big evil collective of (mainstream group) and to respect their opinion. ---------- Works every time! Guaranteed! The best part is, it even works when the "divergent" group is actually mainstream, as long as it has a past history of being divergent! And even if your opponent doesn't accept your argument, you still get that warm fuzzy feeling knowing that you went down fighting in a valiant attempt to save your fellow (members of divergent group).

you're wrong, thats not the sure way of winning any argument

How to win an argument on this board:

State your initial stance.

When someone rebuts your stance with reasons backed by sources:
A) Say their reply is overly opinionated or biased.
B) Say their sources are also biased or lacking credibility.

Finish with a repeat of your initial stance. Modify it subtly so that it appears you actually rethought and retooled your arguement. In your reply do not directly disprove any of the points brought against your views.

Repeat these steps until those arguing against you become frustrated to the point at which they will no longer reply.

You win.
