How to shut up a pretentious prick who thinks their argument is infallible in a second:

Point out all the flaws in their argument. Instead of trying to back up their points they will just give up.

How to shut up those really annoying Republicans who think they know everything.

"Care to elaborate?"

Most of them don't even know what elaborate means.

Now I'm not Republican, though I am Conservative. What you posted is the stereotype of Republicans are stupid and uneducated. Which isn't true. Such a thing wouldn't get me to shut up. I've been in threads "elaborating" until I had to leave because I had more important things to deal with, like going to class or eating.

Elaborate: To explain a subject further with detail.

How to shut a Liberal up in a second.

Tell them to use a non-liberal source of information to disprove your argument.

If they do come back with information they claim isn't liberal, there is a 99.9% chance it is Liberal. Countless times I have looked up sources that Liberals have used after I used my shut up technique, and I have shot down every one.

They usually come back with some obscure source, but when I do research, I find that the trail leads to Liberals. The Liberal that brings the information back, thinks that since I am Conservative and most likely stupid, I won't actually take the time to do the research to disprove his source.

Sorry, double post. Ignore, forum gremlins at work.

I don't need them to shut up, I've stopped caring what people think about what I like. If I did still care I'd have pulled my hair out from the nonsense I hear daily.

The true asshole is the one who cannot respect what one person does like or doesn't like and verbally attacks them on that judgment.

I usually just let them finish and then I just look at them for a moment or two and say my feeling and if they start giving me sass I usually just say what I just said. Opinions are subjective and shouldn't take judgment.

How to shut up an escapist in a second:

You can't. They never stop talking but they never even say anything.

I resent that remark.

Anything.

I say it all the time.

How to shut up a extremist atheist:
Remind him that the scientific process is about always accepting the possibility of being wrong.

Hmm... Then again, that works both ways. Doesn't it?

 

[the clockmaker]

How do you shut up an extreame small l liberal (important distinction in Australia) or hard core atheist.

Be accepting of their beliefs and as polite as possible, back up your points and be intelligent.
It really freaks people who expect their opponents to be thuggish idiots out. (not pointing at anyone in this thread.) (honestly) (you can trust me)

 

[Kurokami]

How to shut up religious zealot in a second.

For example, ask them how someone can really do a good deed if behind each reason for doing a good deed is inherently selfish.

Not sure if I did it right, but I gave it a shot anyway.

That's a very thin argument and I doubt that would work on anyone.

Truth be told I've very little to say to shut a person up, ignoring 'em seems to work fine though it certainly doesn't get me any less worked up if they succeeded in doing that.

If you are going to say something, actually say something that adds to the discussion. I did my part with a well thought out post above.

If I want to be serious, I will be serious.

Ok, then I'll be serious too. Maybe more people would quote conservative studies if 90% of them weren't hilariously biased.

How to shut up religious zealot in a second.

For example, ask them how someone can really do a good deed if behind each reason for doing a good deed is inherently selfish.

Wow. I am religious, but still, fair point.
That is a really good question.

I'm assuming you mean that the reason people do good deeds is to get themselves into Heaven after dying, right?

OT: How to shut up anyone who has just spent ages explaining how their point is better than yours, and, even if they are right, say the same thing you said at the begginning.

That's what me and all my friends use in an arguement against another friend; he follows the PC religiously, and while none of us have Macs, we all just take the piss by saying how we're going to all go buy Macs for Christmas, and burn our PCs.
Then when he sometimes has a mini-rant, just say the same thing again.

How to shut up a extremist atheist:
Remind him that the scientific process is about always accepting the possibility of being wrong.

that's a good one, but on the flip-side, how to shut up a Christian:

'Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?'

Hmm... Then again, that works both ways. Doesn't it?

not really, real faith requires that you be unwavering in your beliefs, i.e not accepting the possibility of being wrong.
