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 1394 Views
Logic classes would be good in schools. Timthetrolloc - 20/09/2011 10:23:56 AM 932 Views
Ugh. Ghavrel - 20/09/2011 11:30:59 AM 966 Views
Re: Ugh. Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:03:31 AM 892 Views
Something tells me that no matter who answered your questions you wouldn't believe anyway. everynametaken - 21/09/2011 02:16:52 AM 882 Views
this is a controlled demolition Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:20:09 AM 1011 Views
That is an incredibly stupid argument. Tom - 21/09/2011 01:12:38 AM 943 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 968 Views
Asking questions is never wrong. ironclad - 20/09/2011 12:22:22 PM 851 Views
Re: Asking questions is never wrong. Timthetrolloc - 20/09/2011 11:57:04 PM 1014 Views
Agreed Camilla - 20/09/2011 01:09:40 PM 888 Views
I've long advocated this for the reasons Tom states as well as others. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:49:28 AM 831 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 968 Views
There is compelling evidence that 9/11 was not what it seemed Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:06:58 PM 952 Views
No, there is not. Tom - 20/09/2011 03:19:43 PM 1039 Views
Well, the circumstances were odd at least Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:26:40 PM 928 Views
As far as conspiracies go ... Nate - 20/09/2011 03:36:35 PM 1020 Views
what would be the motive for the US doing something that stupid? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:40:31 PM 831 Views
I'm not sure you got my gist. Nate - 20/09/2011 04:46:28 PM 877 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 896 Views
Um. Well, sure, that would be true. If you ignored all the evidence. Nate - 20/09/2011 05:45:23 PM 962 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 934 Views
But that's what I DID argue. Nate - 20/09/2011 06:47:17 PM 917 Views
sorry but you need to be more precise in your terms random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:37:36 PM 957 Views
I've always seen them as separate. Nate - 21/09/2011 03:33:14 PM 778 Views
and that is why I decided to drop it random thoughts - 21/09/2011 04:07:02 PM 949 Views
Heh. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:15:34 PM 880 Views
And the explicit statement of a Bush Cabinet member. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:59:47 AM 1010 Views
I'm still annoyed. Nate - 21/09/2011 01:58:38 PM 818 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 822 Views
Admitting error is a sign of weakness; Don Draper said so. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:37:31 PM 856 Views
and I pointed that it was was just continuin gthe Clinton policy random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:30:13 PM 902 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 938 Views
In addition: Nate - 20/09/2011 05:57:33 PM 1024 Views
sorry but that is nothing more than a simple statement of fact random thoughts - 20/09/2011 06:40:51 PM 959 Views
This is very frustrating. Nate - 20/09/2011 07:05:48 PM 910 Views
For the war on terror? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:49:12 PM 960 Views
And what was the war on terror supposed to accomplish? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 05:12:11 PM 901 Views
That contradicts the evidence. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:15:48 PM 927 Views
Excuse me? Macharius - 20/09/2011 08:22:21 PM 989 Views
Huh? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 08:57:14 PM 965 Views
the problem with any other theory is the make no sense random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:36:02 PM 881 Views
Contemplate this.... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 04:27:52 PM 909 Views
You just did not go Star Trek on me Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:44:28 PM 927 Views
And how did you know... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 05:17:10 PM 1009 Views
Re: And how did you know... Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:16:26 AM 1004 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 955 Views
humans tend to be very bad at critical thinking random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:58:43 PM 865 Views
Won't help Praziquantel - 20/09/2011 08:15:36 PM 939 Views
Make 'em all take debate. nossy - 20/09/2011 08:23:37 PM 888 Views
Would madam like a cane? Elaine - 20/09/2011 09:19:53 PM 1030 Views
Maybe a walker with tennis balls on the bottom. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 10:33:39 PM 424 Views
Do you think it would help? aerocontrols - 21/09/2011 12:09:42 AM 882 Views
Re: We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:10:08 AM 912 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 893 Views
Not actually the best example Isaac - 21/09/2011 01:56:03 AM 876 Views
what about the hole it cut into the frame of the building? random thoughts - 21/09/2011 03:23:07 AM 905 Views
Wouldn't make much difference Isaac - 21/09/2011 04:08:27 AM 913 Views
OK thanks *NM* random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:55:52 PM 471 Views
The fireproofing was scraped off the steel by the crash, so the beams melted. Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:35:08 PM 1098 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 928 Views
But how else would they fall down? Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:42:27 PM 798 Views
You would force Euler on to the masses? Two Wongs - 21/09/2011 03:21:40 PM 958 Views
You could still argue. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:06:51 PM 831 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 848 Views
Eh, nobody uses pure logic all of the time anyway. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:43:51 PM 923 Views
Or they could just do more math. Cold, hard, beautiful math. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:01:05 PM 838 Views
I love geometry proofs. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:10:57 PM 973 Views
Me too <3 proofs! *NM* LaSombra - 21/09/2011 07:55:38 PM 456 Views
For pure enjoyment, here's a non math version. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:10:40 PM 880 Views
+1 *NM* Isaac - 21/09/2011 07:59:57 PM 397 Views
Now we are talking... Everyone can benefit from some basic Euclid. jh - 21/09/2011 08:32:17 PM 1100 Views
Ha. Ha. Vivien - 21/09/2011 09:56:38 PM 897 Views
As a follower of Cthulhu, I strongly disagree. Tom - 21/09/2011 11:13:55 PM 1083 Views
I really and truly appreciate your love of pure math for math's sake, but... Tom - 21/09/2011 11:10:03 PM 875 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 896 Views
