The HTLM Worm ! Half-truth virus corrupts human logic !
You can show your teacher this one, perhaps you can teach them a thing a two about logic, and how it can be corrupted.
Here are some classic examples of how logic has been corrupted by the "half-truth logical" worm; The HTLM worm.
------
1. Child Abuse - "Men who abuse, women and children victims" (HTLM Worm #1)
That should be some men, some women and some children who abuse and children victims, including children who abuse themselves. The model of abuse is not only based on part of the truth, ie men who abuse, but the statement is false, because it includes women who abuse, and we are dealing with child abuse.
------
2. Family Violence - "Stop Violence against Women" (HTLM Worm # 2)
That should be "Stop abuse" This includes men, women and children. Violence is merely one form of abuse, and stopping violence against women polarizes the issue, deceptively so. Daughters who abuse their mothers ? Recently a woman kidnaped and killed a woman, and cut out her unborn child.
Stop Abuse (men, women and children).
------
3. Discrimination is wrong ! (HTLM Worm # 3)
That should be 'some' discrimination is wrong, because it is based on immoral, illogical and negative discriminatory reasoning.
Some discrimination is wrong !
------
4. Equality - "We are all equal " (HTLM Worm # 4)
That should be 'we are all equal if we are equal'. According to a law of justice, people should be treated equally if they are equal, and we should treat people unequally if they are unequal.
We are equal is some things. We are equal before God. We are equal before the Law.
-----------
5. Marriage the union of two people. (HTLM Worm # 5)
That should be marriage is the union of two people of the opposite gender, and of legal age.
The exclusion of the other discriminatory parameters takes a common sense truth and manipulates it to form a half-truth - literal half of a truth.
------
There you have it, the proliferation of this HTLM Worm through our society, while based on some aspect of truth, forms destructive lies that are based on the manipulation of logic and truth. Caesar J. B. Squitti
