Would madam like a cane? Elaine Send a noteboard - 20/09/2011 09:19:53 PM
I would like a "we all assume the following items are common sense, but it turns out there is no such thing" course. Kids need to start learning how to handle their own personal economies and how to keep a job by doing even just the smallest amount of PAYING ATTENTION. I don't care so much about the inability to form a coherent argument. I need them to sit down, shut up, open their eyes and pay attention to me, not talk my ear off or flop aimlessly around the garden center.


I'll get you one that has a flick blade in it and then you just watch those whippersnappers hop :D

We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:50:36 AM 1306 Views
Logic classes would be good in schools. Timthetrolloc - 20/09/2011 10:23:56 AM 850 Views
Ugh. Ghavrel - 20/09/2011 11:30:59 AM 878 Views
Re: Ugh. Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:03:31 AM 806 Views
Something tells me that no matter who answered your questions you wouldn't believe anyway. everynametaken - 21/09/2011 02:16:52 AM 812 Views
this is a controlled demolition Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:20:09 AM 925 Views
That is an incredibly stupid argument. Tom - 21/09/2011 01:12:38 AM 860 Views
I've seen controlled demolitions in person. They happen in the opposite order of the WTC collapses. Ghavrel - 21/09/2011 03:54:35 AM 860 Views
Asking questions is never wrong. ironclad - 20/09/2011 12:22:22 PM 758 Views
Re: Asking questions is never wrong. Timthetrolloc - 20/09/2011 11:57:04 PM 923 Views
Agreed Camilla - 20/09/2011 01:09:40 PM 797 Views
I've long advocated this for the reasons Tom states as well as others. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:49:28 AM 757 Views
I don't know if the Internet is degrading skills, or just giving stupid people a voice beetnemesis - 20/09/2011 02:33:24 PM 867 Views
There is compelling evidence that 9/11 was not what it seemed Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:06:58 PM 853 Views
No, there is not. Tom - 20/09/2011 03:19:43 PM 954 Views
Well, the circumstances were odd at least Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:26:40 PM 839 Views
As far as conspiracies go ... Nate - 20/09/2011 03:36:35 PM 910 Views
what would be the motive for the US doing something that stupid? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:40:31 PM 750 Views
I'm not sure you got my gist. Nate - 20/09/2011 04:46:28 PM 765 Views
I don't think there is any evidience that Bush wanted to attack Iraq before 9-11 random thoughts - 20/09/2011 05:21:09 PM 816 Views
Um. Well, sure, that would be true. If you ignored all the evidence. Nate - 20/09/2011 05:45:23 PM 872 Views
Well if you had argued that some Bush advisers wanted to attack Iraq I would have agreed random thoughts - 20/09/2011 06:35:07 PM 855 Views
But that's what I DID argue. Nate - 20/09/2011 06:47:17 PM 837 Views
sorry but you need to be more precise in your terms random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:37:36 PM 843 Views
I've always seen them as separate. Nate - 21/09/2011 03:33:14 PM 703 Views
and that is why I decided to drop it random thoughts - 21/09/2011 04:07:02 PM 847 Views
Heh. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:15:34 PM 806 Views
And the explicit statement of a Bush Cabinet member. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:59:47 AM 911 Views
I'm still annoyed. Nate - 21/09/2011 01:58:38 PM 744 Views
I stopped responfding when suddenly realized I didn't want to be in a Bush Iraq war debate random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:53:29 PM 743 Views
Admitting error is a sign of weakness; Don Draper said so. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:37:31 PM 771 Views
and I pointed that it was was just continuin gthe Clinton policy random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:30:13 PM 811 Views
Even if that were true, it would still be flip flopping on a central Bush platform plank. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:45:10 PM 852 Views
In addition: Nate - 20/09/2011 05:57:33 PM 916 Views
sorry but that is nothing more than a simple statement of fact random thoughts - 20/09/2011 06:40:51 PM 884 Views
This is very frustrating. Nate - 20/09/2011 07:05:48 PM 834 Views
For the war on terror? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:49:12 PM 867 Views
And what was the war on terror supposed to accomplish? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 05:12:11 PM 815 Views
That contradicts the evidence. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:15:48 PM 843 Views
Excuse me? Macharius - 20/09/2011 08:22:21 PM 884 Views
Huh? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 08:57:14 PM 883 Views
the problem with any other theory is the make no sense random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:36:02 PM 811 Views
Contemplate this.... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 04:27:52 PM 833 Views
You just did not go Star Trek on me Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:44:28 PM 830 Views
And how did you know... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 05:17:10 PM 926 Views
Re: And how did you know... Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:16:26 AM 916 Views
You should watch the pilot episode of the X-Files spin-off series The Lone Gunmen. TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 08:19:15 PM 857 Views
humans tend to be very bad at critical thinking random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:58:43 PM 770 Views
Won't help Praziquantel - 20/09/2011 08:15:36 PM 840 Views
Make 'em all take debate. nossy - 20/09/2011 08:23:37 PM 806 Views
Would madam like a cane? Elaine - 20/09/2011 09:19:53 PM 925 Views
Maybe a walker with tennis balls on the bottom. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 10:33:39 PM 385 Views
Do you think it would help? aerocontrols - 21/09/2011 12:09:42 AM 780 Views
Re: We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:10:08 AM 817 Views
Yeah, and the 100,000 pounds of sudden extra weight slammed into the towers at 400 mph...? Tom - 21/09/2011 01:05:18 AM 799 Views
Not actually the best example Isaac - 21/09/2011 01:56:03 AM 791 Views
what about the hole it cut into the frame of the building? random thoughts - 21/09/2011 03:23:07 AM 836 Views
Wouldn't make much difference Isaac - 21/09/2011 04:08:27 AM 814 Views
OK thanks *NM* random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:55:52 PM 424 Views
The fireproofing was scraped off the steel by the crash, so the beams melted. Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:35:08 PM 1015 Views
Re: Yeah, and the 100,000 pounds of sudden extra weight slammed into the towers at 400 mph...? Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 03:02:19 AM 853 Views
But how else would they fall down? Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:42:27 PM 712 Views
You would force Euler on to the masses? Two Wongs - 21/09/2011 03:21:40 PM 880 Views
You could still argue. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:06:51 PM 744 Views
I didn't mean to imply that it is no fun to argue with a like-minded person Two Wongs - 21/09/2011 04:15:47 PM 779 Views
Eh, nobody uses pure logic all of the time anyway. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:43:51 PM 824 Views
Or they could just do more math. Cold, hard, beautiful math. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:01:05 PM 754 Views
I love geometry proofs. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:10:57 PM 877 Views
Me too <3 proofs! *NM* LaSombra - 21/09/2011 07:55:38 PM 421 Views
For pure enjoyment, here's a non math version. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:10:40 PM 773 Views
+1 *NM* Isaac - 21/09/2011 07:59:57 PM 341 Views
Now we are talking... Everyone can benefit from some basic Euclid. jh - 21/09/2011 08:32:17 PM 1017 Views
Ha. Ha. Vivien - 21/09/2011 09:56:38 PM 816 Views
As a follower of Cthulhu, I strongly disagree. Tom - 21/09/2011 11:13:55 PM 984 Views
I really and truly appreciate your love of pure math for math's sake, but... Tom - 21/09/2011 11:10:03 PM 794 Views
Well, it requires a lot more science to really dispute things than HS can give someone Isaac - 21/09/2011 11:28:29 PM 789 Views
