You could still argue. Vivien Send a noteboard - 21/09/2011 04:06:51 PM
On the contrary, I think it's a lot of fun to argue with logical people. And there is always going to be plenty to argue about! That's because even if the process is the same, odds are that the starting places are different.

It's only a limited Set of Thought-driven Persons (those who like to classify and organise their internal data feed), inside a larger Set of Population, that have inate ability enough to use these visual maps / structures.

Thank heavens!

Variations in the way we not only think about a subject, but the way we approach thinking about the subject, make the world a much more interesting place to be :)

Who would you have to argue against if everyone was applying common sense left, right and centre? Sheesh!

We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:50:36 AM 1466 Views
Logic classes would be good in schools. Timthetrolloc - 20/09/2011 10:23:56 AM 987 Views
Ugh. Ghavrel - 20/09/2011 11:30:59 AM 1022 Views

Something tells me that no matter who answered your questions you wouldn't believe anyway. everynametaken - 21/09/2011 02:16:52 AM 939 Views
this is a controlled demolition Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:20:09 AM 1078 Views
That is an incredibly stupid argument. Tom - 21/09/2011 01:12:38 AM 1005 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 1020 Views
Asking questions is never wrong. ironclad - 20/09/2011 12:22:22 PM 909 Views

Agreed Camilla - 20/09/2011 01:09:40 PM 946 Views
I've long advocated this for the reasons Tom states as well as others. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:49:28 AM 883 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 1029 Views
There is compelling evidence that 9/11 was not what it seemed Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:06:58 PM 1009 Views
No, there is not. Tom - 20/09/2011 03:19:43 PM 1115 Views
Well, the circumstances were odd at least Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:26:40 PM 987 Views
As far as conspiracies go ... Nate - 20/09/2011 03:36:35 PM 1080 Views
what would be the motive for the US doing something that stupid? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:40:31 PM 884 Views
I'm not sure you got my gist. Nate - 20/09/2011 04:46:28 PM 941 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 956 Views
Um. Well, sure, that would be true. If you ignored all the evidence. Nate - 20/09/2011 05:45:23 PM 1032 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 990 Views
But that's what I DID argue. Nate - 20/09/2011 06:47:17 PM 975 Views
sorry but you need to be more precise in your terms random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:37:36 PM 1026 Views
I've always seen them as separate. Nate - 21/09/2011 03:33:14 PM 839 Views
and that is why I decided to drop it random thoughts - 21/09/2011 04:07:02 PM 1002 Views
Heh. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:15:34 PM 950 Views
And the explicit statement of a Bush Cabinet member. Joel - 21/09/2011 06:59:47 AM 1078 Views
I'm still annoyed. Nate - 21/09/2011 01:58:38 PM 873 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 883 Views
Admitting error is a sign of weakness; Don Draper said so. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:37:31 PM 918 Views
and I pointed that it was was just continuin gthe Clinton policy random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:30:13 PM 957 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 1005 Views
In addition: Nate - 20/09/2011 05:57:33 PM 1089 Views
sorry but that is nothing more than a simple statement of fact random thoughts - 20/09/2011 06:40:51 PM 1014 Views
This is very frustrating. Nate - 20/09/2011 07:05:48 PM 964 Views
For the war on terror? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:49:12 PM 1018 Views
And what was the war on terror supposed to accomplish? random thoughts - 20/09/2011 05:12:11 PM 965 Views
That contradicts the evidence. Tom - 20/09/2011 06:15:48 PM 983 Views
Excuse me? Macharius - 20/09/2011 08:22:21 PM 1046 Views
Huh? Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 08:57:14 PM 1026 Views
the problem with any other theory is the make no sense random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:36:02 PM 954 Views
Contemplate this.... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 04:27:52 PM 980 Views
You just did not go Star Trek on me Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:44:28 PM 1001 Views
And how did you know... Jeordam - 20/09/2011 05:17:10 PM 1059 Views
Re: And how did you know... Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:16:26 AM 1058 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 1025 Views
humans tend to be very bad at critical thinking random thoughts - 20/09/2011 04:58:43 PM 911 Views
Won't help Praziquantel - 20/09/2011 08:15:36 PM 996 Views
Make 'em all take debate. nossy - 20/09/2011 08:23:37 PM 953 Views
Would madam like a cane? Elaine - 20/09/2011 09:19:53 PM 1084 Views
Maybe a walker with tennis balls on the bottom. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 10:33:39 PM 454 Views
Do you think it would help? aerocontrols - 21/09/2011 12:09:42 AM 945 Views
Re: We really need to have Logic as a course in high schools. Timthetrolloc - 21/09/2011 12:10:08 AM 984 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 945 Views
Not actually the best example Isaac - 21/09/2011 01:56:03 AM 946 Views
what about the hole it cut into the frame of the building? random thoughts - 21/09/2011 03:23:07 AM 959 Views
Wouldn't make much difference Isaac - 21/09/2011 04:08:27 AM 973 Views
OK thanks *NM* random thoughts - 21/09/2011 02:55:52 PM 504 Views
The fireproofing was scraped off the steel by the crash, so the beams melted. Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:35:08 PM 1162 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 992 Views
But how else would they fall down? Aeryn - 21/09/2011 07:42:27 PM 865 Views
You would force Euler on to the masses? Two Wongs - 21/09/2011 03:21:40 PM 1009 Views
You could still argue. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:06:51 PM 894 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 906 Views
Eh, nobody uses pure logic all of the time anyway. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:43:51 PM 981 Views
Or they could just do more math. Cold, hard, beautiful math. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:01:05 PM 902 Views
I love geometry proofs. Nate - 21/09/2011 04:10:57 PM 1030 Views
Me too <3 proofs! *NM* LaSombra - 21/09/2011 07:55:38 PM 503 Views
For pure enjoyment, here's a non math version. Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:10:40 PM 939 Views
+1 *NM* Isaac - 21/09/2011 07:59:57 PM 432 Views
Now we are talking... Everyone can benefit from some basic Euclid. jh - 21/09/2011 08:32:17 PM 1168 Views
Ha. Ha. Vivien - 21/09/2011 09:56:38 PM 959 Views
As a follower of Cthulhu, I strongly disagree. Tom - 21/09/2011 11:13:55 PM 1143 Views
I really and truly appreciate your love of pure math for math's sake, but... Tom - 21/09/2011 11:10:03 PM 930 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 956 Views
