OK, this was funny. Unintentionally perhaps, but still funny. =)

You, on others' public opinions: "We need to institute a requirement of some original thought and personal research if you wish to have a public opinion."

Your public opinion: "Carlos Mencia says it best: 'DUHHH-DUH-DUUUUUHH'"

Yep -- that's a mighty fine example of original thought ("DUUUUUHH") and personal research (quoting someone else)!

Thanks for making me laugh out loud this morning! =)

Of course, you are using every single one of the "spin methods" here. Redefine the argument, make your point, keep your opponents from answering.....

It's only talking points if you disagree with them, else they are logical!

People using talking points is almost as bad as people dismissing other people's arguments as talking points.
