Definitely. I think I should be able to get them either free or very cheap as a BU student.

I've certainly read the textbook those universities use in their logic courses; it is a good read:

Amazon.com: Informal Logic: A Handbook for Critical Argumentation (9780521379250): Douglas N. Walton: Books

Feel free to pick it up sometime.

Your family must be very proud , tell you what since i have not i will withold my judgement of its content and i would only ask you to do the same about Beck's books we are discussing in the other thread which you disagree with but haven't read. I can't help but make one assumption however, is it possible that there might be a liberal bias on said campuses you previously mentioned. I mean, i know its hard to find a Liberal idealog Professor in most college classrooms these days.

Hey i have an idea , i'll read your suggested book and you read mine and then we can both have a discussion based on facts and not assumptions only.

Hey, it's possible, but I don't think kids smart enough to be in school at places like Harvard are going to be easily led into specific political alignments. I can't be sure, however.

Besides, what does a liberal bias have to do with the well established methods of argument and reason, anyway? Stuff's old as the ancient Greeks.

Like the cat in your avatar?

As a matter of fact I did volunteer for one of those
experiments to get out of running ten miles in 110
degree heat.

That pure sandoz is one of the best brands.

Even if he did work in the intel community in the AF during Vietnam, it would be hard to imagine he saw any combat in such a role, much less more combat than any combat arms Soldier in OIF or OEF.

Have you ever fired a round in combat?

What I did do saved American lives.

I think the thing that pisses me off the most is that he posts pictures of the POTUS with flies on his face, which is obviously the most racist thing ever posted on this board and no one gives a ****. I'd love to discredit him, but I'll leave that to TRUT and gs himself posting about his friends staying with him after a stay in Leavenworth. Sounds like he hangs with some pretty shady and traitorous characters.

We had a conversation long ago. My point was that you didn't have to respect the President, but the office should always be respected. You see how well that went.....

I've tried the past two days to start a "who would you ban" thread in the Zone. Deleted within minutes both times.

It's pathetic that just because you disagree with a guys views you have to try and discredit him and even question his sanity but as ususal list ZERO facts to prove your points. Instead it just shows childish disdain and frankly a weak mind.

Cry me a river you internet white knight. GS is a terrible poster and a flat out liar. He deserves anything thrown at him on the boards. I have no idea how he isn't banned.

FYP.

Not only that, it is an insult to freak who requests
that we merely respect the views of other posters.

In large part, true.

However, you could take your assumptions too far.

Bradleys are nice. They aren't all that heavy and when transporting one it felt as though my old M911 HET was hauling a mosquito.

I will absolutely discredit him. His statements are inconsistent, violent, radical, and he defends them with more than a handful of personal anecdotes, thus bringing his credibility into the discussion.

The logic courses at both Cambridge and Oxford would disagree with your position that ad hominem attacks and questions of credibility show weak mindedness. Thanks for the pointers, though.
Click to expand...

The only logical thing to conclude from purposeful ad
hominem attacks is that one has run out of logical
rebuttal of the ideas that have been presented.

Politically speaking that tactic is can be associated
closely with the writings of Saul Alinski.

Not only that it violates the spirit of the rules
of this board.

Perhaps you should read them sometime.

When Socrates was convicted on false testimony,
which he said was so well presented that he would
have believed it himself if he didn't know better, do
you think then that the court decision was reasonable??

Of the Greek philosophers, imo Socrates was one of
the best and most reasonable and logical, I just differed
with him when he drank the hemlock, I would have told
the liars to shove it up their old kazoo and went to live
in Sparta or one of the other cities that offered to
accept him with open arms.

So what is racist about flies on his face???

You know what stinks, nothing to do with the color of it.

This all started over the vitriol spewed at Col Alan West.

I didn't notice you saying unreal was being racist.

As for the guy who served time in Leavenworth, he was
set up, his brother was very active during the political
turmoil of the sixties, his picture once appeared on the
front page of the Commercial Appeal, taken as he was
speaking before a rally of thousands, a very intelligent
guy with a gift for oratory.

Congress had just passed a law against sawed off
shotguns with barrels less than 18" and the guy who
was convicted was in the local watering hole and a guy
came in (who turned out to be an informant) who owed
him $20 and offered to give him a gun in payment.

So my friend took the gun, saying; "I didn't really have
any use for it but I knew the guy was never going to
pay me anyway, so I took it."

So about thirty minutes after he got home that night,
the ATF busted in with a warrant and a swat team and
he was quickly railroaded into federal prison.

His brother said: "I took that as a signal that I had
better shut up," and he didn't make any more speeches.

It was purely a political event, very closely related to
the soldiers unreal insists on vilifying.

I saw a sawed off shotgun produced in court one day
and the owner had his case dismissed, they just
confiscated the gun and told him it was against the
law to have that kind of weapon.
