a) you just committed selection bias, go read the entire thread and my repeated explanation of the difference between the textbook definition and what we can plainly see demonstrated.
b) i didn't call "slippery slope" a logical fallacy. it's an argument style.
Weren't you going to explain...
Hey brother.. I am by no means saying I'm the smartest person registered on this forum. What I *am* saying is that this thread isn't a shining example of intellect and higher debate.
Well I'd call you out on using the slippery slope argument... but you might judge me for having used it incorrectly.
Unfortunately I understand that:
a) I haven't used them incorrectly
b) That you won't point out where I have because you understand this fact as well.
c) You also realize...
I think I have a new approach here...
They took our jobs!
King Obama really just wants to run our lives!
Pretty soon we'll be frying them Jews just like the Nazis!
I just need a way to escape this thread at this point.. does that get me an exit?
To get back to the OP... by all means, just...
I think our founders were brilliant and wise beyond their time, and certainly well beyond your understanding of a quote that barely applies to this particular legislation. They took education very seriously and would probably be appalled at half the **** posted on this forum. They were the...
Joe, I've looked at your profile and scanned through your posts. While I appreciate that you're lavishing some attention on me, I'm certainly not offended by your observation that I can't "think."
This is why you should read a book. My "logic" induced the idea that perhaps there are more important security needs for this hypothetical person. Seriously, just go read a few passages about critical thinking. It will actually really help.
The math is fuzzy on the final cost. We're being led to believe that there will be massive cost savings, but no one can predict that. The truth is probably closer to breaking even.. but at the very least insurance companies can't deny pre-existing coverage, etc. Basic reforms that any common...
Well I am a tad elitist... it's difficult for me to come back from witty rebuttals such as "ARE YOU KING OBAMA!!!"
:rolleyes:
I'm a gun-toting bumpkin too... I grew up in nowhere Indiana. I've just read a book in between times I wasn't shooting things. I recommend it.
I've never seen such a massive inability to use simple logic on one thread. I guess that's what I get for posting on a forum meant to discuss firearms, not higher education.
Maybe this will give you a simple breakdown of why both sides are stupid in this debate, but that doing something was...
What I find the most interesting about your response is that you point out articles and subsections... but resorted to pasting an ad hominem about the entire legislation in your previous post.
So, in your expert opinion, there is not a *single* thing in this bill that lowers health care costs...
No I'm not saying that is ok. You misunderstood the cornerstone of my post. What you are referring to here is the monarchy that we moved out from under. That is one person making decisions for a potentially limitless pool of people. We're not even talking about the same idea here.
Whether...
