When was the last time you seen someone use ad hominem?

I can only think of maybe two or three times I've known somebody to use it ever. This person being one.

When you don't talk like that on a normal basis (like pretty much everyone else) doing so in an argument in an attempt to establish superiority of intelligence through language used is smarmy.

What's worse is they don't do this to appear smarter to the person they are talking to. They do it so they appear smarter to observers and other commentators. Because they know they lost the argument to the person involved so they might as well try and win the crowd.

Smarmy 101

Our former president was the professor of that course.

It means some people feel the need to appear much smarter than they really are in an effort to prove a failed point.

Just amusing to see people use fancy words to get their point across and then you look in their comment history and realize they never speak like that any other time.

Very smarmy

Let's count the times in your previous comment that you were talking about the oil (drug) itself and not the cartridge

>Yeah, but she still knowingly brought drugs into a country

>The decision making process that goes into bringing drugs on an airplane is different than buying a cart from an average drug dealer

>As a smoker myself I have anxiety about just a bit of weed in my pocket when I’m going to the airport.

>Let alone having the courage to bring cartridges on the plane.

>or even got the stuff over there

5

Five times in that comment you were talking about the product in the cartridge

Only once did you mention the actual pen

It's almost as if you realize you were talking out of your ass because I told you you were talking out of your ass and now you're shifting the goal post. Almost

>Also im no way they sell the Pens for carts over there, they are only legally sold everywhere in the usa because or CBD, which is also illegal in russia.

This is completely wrong. You obviously have zero clue how they convert marijuana concentrate, edibles and other forms of THC into flower weight.

They take the amount/potency and convert that into what it would be in similar flower weight. On average a typical cartridge is seen as a quarter ounce of marijuana. This conversion ratio is also the same throughout Europe and other places where marijuana is legalized

Here in Colorado when you visit a shop you're only able to buy 1 oz of product per visit. So if you buy a cartridge you're only allowed to get three quarters of an ounce of actual flower on top of it.

Gain a little bit of knowledge before speaking out of your ass to somebody who has direct information related to the topic at hand

As I explained to somebody else you are basically advocating for long-term imprisonment of Americans through a Russian kangaroo court for political gain.

She received an extremely long sentence compared to what any Russian citizen would have received for the exact same charge and amount of marijuana.

Keep reaching comrade

Clutch those pearls boomer.

She received longest sentence ever received by somebody in Russia for possession of a small amount of marijuana. She was a political prisoner. Thrown in a kangaroo court and handed many many more years than any citizen would have received for the exact same charge.

You are now basically advocating for the Russian judicial system and long-term imprisonment of foreigners for political gain.

Wtf.... You went from being a racist and a self declared homophobe to now being a Russian troll. This has been one heck of a roller coaster

>know more than the fbi agents who worked to catch him

Well now you're talking about the person who was involved in the criminal organizations and tracked and captured by the fbi. Not the person who spent many many years in prison and lost all his connections.

>homophobe

Also I didn't say that part. You said that part. Freudian slip LOL

Tell me you take zoom meetings in front of a bookshelf with big books without telling me that you take zoom meetings in front of a bookshelf with big books

>violent offenders deserve life in prison

FTFY

Fuck rehabilitation am I right? We should go back to branding people. Bring back the Scarlet letters!!!!

A gymnastics take is thinking somebody doesn't need to be released from prison because they are a black person who smokes weed. But we got a ton of those guys locked up over here for that so it makes sense.

Cause let's be realistic here. If she was a white girl that got arrested for public intoxication in Russia it would have been a completely different reaction from conservatives. They would have been just fine with it.

>an arms dealer…

Yes and life is exactly like Hollywood and this guy is going to become the next big evil genius who is going to bring down the world. We need James Bond stat /s

In reality he's an old washed up burnt criminal that's been held in prison for far too long to even be considered a threat. Contacts are all gone, respect is all dried up, his criminal network doesn't exist anymore etc. Any more on who thinks this guy is any kind of problem anymore is truly a class a moron. Fairytale believer

He was a trophy release for Russia just to say that they got to "win". While we got a decent person back in return.

Well...she's a decent person unless you're a bigoted POS. If that is you then I do apologize. I know I'm not going to convince you otherwise.
