True enough, the lady I'm with right now loves my son, the lady I was with before her wasn't to thrilled about it when I had him. Even though she really liked me and I liked her I told her we can't continue if she doesn't like the fact I have a son, so we split

By the way, misusing punctuation in the fashion you did at the end of your post weakens your entire argument and makes it hard to take you seriously.
I don't know what your guys' argument was about, but seriously... that is the definition of a straw man argument.
Have to point out (Since I keep seeing the word "Strawman" being used incorrectly to describe any and all logical fallacies (Which is wrong, and in itself, fallacious), that it's not a strawman.

A strawman is a simplified version of your opponents position which is easier to argue against, rather than their actual view.

What they've done is ad hominem: They've dismissed the argument based on an attribute of the one giving it, in this case, grammar.

There. I've done my part to reduce the constant calls of strawman. My work here is done.
Sorry, but this is incorrect.

A straw man is not simply a simplified version of an opponents position; it just has to be "superficially similar yet unrelated" to quote the wiki (which pulls it's definition from Stuart Chase's "Guides to Straight Thinking"). In this sense, the superficial similarity is that the missing punctuation indicates a lack of intelligence thus refuting the argument.

Of course the term itself has been abused since it's origin, and honestly has no "real" definition.

Enjoy trying to prove things semantically wrong though...

5: Dog hater, I have a husky and also help rescue huskies from bad houses in the area (over the last year I've had about 8 come through)
High five sir! You'll never see my two, but kudos on your good work! It's a mans dog, and doesn't take shit from anyone. It's no wonder so many people can't handle them.

No real deal breakers in a relationship for me, I wouldn't get into a relationship with a person that would tick my rage boxes. Some minor niggles would be if they where messy or didn't respect my property, "cheating" doesn't bother me I prefer casual sexual relationships in the first place. I am not disapproving of drugs or drink but if they get me involved with the law, either they come looking for them or asking me questions they better have a good reason for that.

Fucking cheating. Any person who does that has no soul and should die.

If you are cheating on your partner while reading this, you, good sir/madam, are an asshole and should feel bad about yourself.

-Being crazy. As in emotionally unhinged/unstable crazy, not "I like to dress in silly hats" crazy. Legit untreated mental disorder crazy.

-Cheating. If I can't trust you, it's over. Also If you want someone else so badly, go with them because I don't want to be a part of that.

-Being self destructive. Drug or Alcohol abuse is pretty much covered in this.

-Not having a sense of humor. It's fine if your sense of humor is different but not having one is going to be a problem.

1. Being boring... This is just me as of late. I want to find a girl that's all artsy, deep, brooding and what not. Someone that kinda has their own thing going that I can stand in awe of.

2. Lying... Just, just no. I've been cheated on, it sucked, and I don't know how serious I am about this being a deal breaker but... Good lord, how am I ever expected to trust another human being again?

1: No cheating. It should be rather obvious, but I take an even more negative view than most. Call me old-fashion, but I believe that you should stay with the one you marry for you whole life unless they do something, and while I am not above forgiving cheating if it happens once, I dont want it to be a biweekly thing.

2: No Drugs. Weed, Smokes, all of them. The occasional beer is fine, but you shouldnt be falling over drunk, and you shouldnt see 2 identical mes standing side by side.

God help you if you say you want the war on drugs ended. I am ok with decriminalizing to an extent, but It should all stay illegal. I DONT CARE!!!! if its not as bad as beer or cigarettes. I DONT CARE!!!! if we can tax it. We have enough drugs legal already. We dont need more. If anything, we should be taking the fight to the drug lords in Mexico instead of trying to stop EVERYTHING on this side of the border. Dont want to do it. Then I got 6 words for you: Let me push the F$%^ing Button!

3: If you came expecting sex outside of marriage, you may as well turn around now and leave, because it aint going to happen. As far as I am concerned, sex is something that is only done between married individauls and nothing else will make me change my mind.

4: They cant be overly religious to the point of denouncing science and the like. However, they also can not say that those who are religious are idiots. I come from a very religious family, and while I am not as religious as they are, I am still pretty spirtiual.

5: Sorry, you want to be around me, you are going to have to get used to guns, because I am going to have at least 2 real guns and many "airsoft" model guns to my name.

6: There are afew things you never speak ill of. You dont talk about about my parents. You dont curse the United States (or else you get chased by one angry patriot). In a similar vein, you do not speak ill of the South, and its an even worse idea to speak ill of the Midwest. If you say anything negative about the fact that I drive a pickup truck, you should leave...NOW. You know, the basics.

7: I can take you have different political opinions than me, but there are afew that need to be relatively similiar. On the same note, No bashing of any political party[footnote]Although, calling bull on certain policies is fine as long as it doesnt conflict with the aforementioned "We must agree on afew things." standard[/footnote]. I'm am a very proud Republican, and while I call bull on many things they do (thier emphasis on religion and opposition to gay marriage cheif among them), if you are going to call Republicans "evil" based on afew nuts, you might as well leave. In exchange, I will not talk bad about whatever political party you are a member of, whatever that may be.

And of Course, My girlfriend passes all 7 requirements to a T.
Wow, I almost feel bad for your girlfriend.
I just feel bad.... especially for any rational person he may come across.

Really doesn't help the southern Democratic hating white christian with a gun in a pickup truck stereotype does he? It also seems like he's still trying to figure out that spell checker. Considering I support legalizing marijuana, am an anti-theist, support strict gun laws, am very critical about the United Stats especially the South, think most republican are batshit crazy or suffering from some mental disability, am pro-choice, support birth control with healthcare, and wouldn't be caught dead in a pickup truck, I think if we ever met his head might explode.

Unless of course this is satire than well done good sir.
