You are going to hang on that tiny tendril, no matter what.

You are a joke. I am sure you will say the same about me, no matter what — the difference is my logical analysis is apt and your is... um, not.

You have violated 4 logical fallacies and are hoping that the fact I pointed out the argumantum ad absurdium — your conclusion that taking a child in a cart to his car is somehow evil or bad is singularly MOST absurd — will somehow overcome your clear attempt to use a combination of that (now defeated) argument and strawmen (so many I leave it to observers to count).

It is clear you immediately said to yourself “OMG, he used Latin! Let me check on Wikipedia! OH, LOOK, I think he misused this idea! (you are wrong btw)””

Of course any 1st semester logician would see your false dichotomy (which you have forced me to point now on 2 or 3 occasions) fails on many levels.

You can’t win logic arguments if you don’t understand logic. The best you can do, as you have laughably attempted, is mimic the sounds of those who DO know logic. Like a parrot who repeats his master’s words on cue.

But I appreciate your attempts. As MTM’s Murray Slaughter said (paraphrasing) — “it isn’t so high the pig flies, it is that he tried at all.”

Your attempts to throw mud against that which you are unable to address intellectually is understandable, if pitiful.

Next time, go to DU. Those mental midgets are about your level.

Oh, and it was you who said that men and women are treated differently with the same circumstance. All your dancing, and no proof.

So sad.

Couldn't leave it alone, could ya. ;o). I thought you were calling it a night.

Whatever “tiny tendril” could you be referring to? The one where you not only displayed your ignorance of the one “logical fallacy” you identify of the many you accuse me of, but double-down on the error?

I'm still waiting on that reference that supports your “unique” definition of a concept as well known as the Pythagorean Theorem.

I knew you would weasel out of the challenge...I didn't expect you to simply pretend it wasn't there.

As for your asinine assertion I went to Wikipedia to discover rather than cite, suit yourself: what other source would you prefer I use to prove you wrong? They'll all say roughly the same thing.

All I can say is [paraphrase] “Yes Otto, apes do read Nietzsche, they just don't understand him!”

Yeah, yeah. I know you'll try to cook up some clever way to make me the "ape," but you get the point. Besides....

I'm not the one tossing around verbage I clearly don't understand.
