Shopping at Wal-Mart makes you a murderer!

[NIFT]

The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette keeps its reputation intact by awarding the following the "golden pen" for letter of the month:

Letter of the month | The Journal Gazette | Fort Wayne, IN

Her "logic:"
Guns kill people. Wal-Mart sells guns. Therefore, buying anything at Wal-Mart makes you a murderer (you also get a "sad look" from the author.)

Bizarre!

All I can say is this is a perfect example of a Liberal Arts college professor. She doesn't like guns because they kill people, but it is perfectly fine for to kill a baby. Well, I don't want to shop at planned parent hood so I don't want my tax money sent there.

I think I need to go to walmart

For an associate professor of english, her writing is pretty darn aweful. I really struggeed to make the association she was trying to make.


No where in that incoherent rambling did she come anywhere close to a rational thought. She is awarded no points, and may God have mercy on her soul.

In the judgment of the editors, she had the most effective letter to the editor during June.

Doesn't say much for the writing ability or the use of logic by the people that write to (or the editors of) the paper does it?

Ya' think?

My head is spinning from that giant leap.

But I do however agree that the poor should have access to services rendered by planned parenthood. If anyone shouldn't be having babies its those who cannot pay for them. Hell give anyone birth control who wants it, we are too over populated as it is.

No real cognitive argument against guns, only the "I don't like them so pfftt!!!!"

And as said above, a fairly pathetic composition for an english professor, no better than somebody like myself would write, and I'm just a dumb Purdue aeronautical science guy!!!

buy at walmart make china rich

If she was being raped and an armed citizen came to her aide I would bet she would welcome the help.

These people are always 2 faced.

hope people outside Indiana don't read that letter . Would really give them the wrong impression . 1 dumbass in Fort Wayne doesn't represent the whole of Indiana

It seems obvious from reading her attempt at making a good argument that this "Golden Pen Award winner" is nowhere close to a real winner. Her writing was very opinionated, but not very well done. I pity the students at IPFW if there are no other choices but her for a prof. for whatever classes she "teaches." I also have to question the sensibilities at the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette for applauding such lousy writing.

Professor of the Custodial Arts doesn't seem to like guns. Wow! And I they actually print this crap. Now we all are gonna look like inbred dumb hicks. Not saying I'm not-just don't think everyone in the state of Indiana is. Geez, lady. Go bury your head in the sand a little longer and maybe read some of those old document things written on that parchment looking stuff where real ink was squeezed from a squid and put on the parchment stuff with a quill.

 

[LockStocksAndBarrel]

Oh my!

That has to be a joke.

There can be no way an english prof can be that poor a writer. There can be no way that the editors of that paper can call that anything but trash.

Buy a gun and you're a murderer. That jump in the thought process is bad enough, but as earlier posted, forcing every citizen to pay for murdering babies is perfectly fine.

This can't be real, can it?

"Defunding based on faulty promise"

Whats the promise? Did she mean premise? Wow...

She doesn't even make a reasonable comparison between walmart selling guns and PP providing abortions. Guns have other uses beside being used in crimes. Abortions have no other purpose than killing a child. If Wal-Mart sold nukes or Anthrax then her comparison would be somewhat more valid.

She is trying to compare something that can be used for an evil end to something that is inherently evil. Her premise and argument crumble under logical scrutiny.
