Give me liberal tears!

That remains to be seen.

"All is chaos under the heavens, the times are excellent." Not sure quoting a mass murderer for wisdom is wise but everybody getting their panties in ...

Too much noise to do any predicting. I was hoping along with you. As Mao said: "All is chaos under the heavens, the times are excellent." The EU is to...

That sentence doesn't really make sense but I still understand what you're saying; for one, people actually like Harris.
November 05, 2024 at 21:39
Nice tu quoque fallacy there. What a tool you are.
November 05, 2024 at 07:05
No I think you did understand me and we are disagreeing. I find the discussion interesting and I see where people are coming from concluding the argum...

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Aside from the truth US elections are there for Democrats to lose, we can probably add the GOP doesn't underst...

Terms are ambiguous but it's also not modus ponens. More a play on words than logically interesting.
November 03, 2024 at 22:38
:up: :100:
November 03, 2024 at 22:29
I think the error is yours though. Truth tables say nothing about the Truth of the statement but are about consistency of logical systems. Yes, there ...

It violates the LNC, which is foundational and introduced by Aristotle before modus ponens so he certainly didn't intend that the inference can work.

It all defies reason because it is about feelings.

Trump hasn't done shit other than having a perfect sense of the direction in which US democracy is falling. Trump is a symptom of the righteous distru...

Not by their own standards, I'm sure.

You find it difficult to answer this question? If so, you're not paying attention. Hint: they're not morally illiterate.

Wasn't there a speech from Harris but Biden made a dumb comment and now I'm having flashbacks from the deplorable basket case that was Hillary?
October 30, 2024 at 12:31
Not really, since the US hasn't been a democracy for quite some time. You have to travel to Europe for that; although even there it is in decline in m...

Years ago when Obama was running against Hillary, I predicted his candidacy early and his win as president. I felt like I could make that call based o...

Whatever man. Your complaints about anything AI are getting boring and predictable. EDIT: also interesting you rewrote your reply three times. If you ...

We will have a first referendum on the quorum necessary for a referendum to pass. It's questionable this is resolved because it doesn't answer if this...
October 23, 2024 at 08:38
Not sure this has been mentioned but a referendum is usually a binary choice, greatly influenced by the question asked. In almost all cases it reduces...

The fact he's not in jail yet is proof of the corruption inherent in the US system.

It's the occupation, stupid.

That's been on the table since December.

I don't know, are they?

:lol: Yes, yes, don't be too literal. You do have a mammary gland though.
October 16, 2024 at 14:58
This is quite obviously not logically equivalent. The statements "if A then B" and "if C then D" involve different propositional variables (A, B, C, a...

I see your point about "ultimate" causes never really being ultimate, as they’re always proximal to something else in a chain. Personally, I prefer th...

Logical equivalence is not determined solely by symbolic representation, especially in light of the interpretive choices made when translating from na...

Nope. My point has been consistently that what Hamas does and our opinions on that are irrelevant. They are the evemy and for peace you'll have to neg...

Interpretation.

Nice guilt by association fallacy going on there. But yes there are plenty of people who support the violent resistance against oppressors. As is thei...

The sad part about that last post is all of that has actually been said in this thread. The world is going insane.

I disagree you can disregard the "not S" step, because the statement in its entirety must be false. If I say "if I pray then my prayers are answered",...

what's up with the implicit insult I'm so bad at English I couldn't tell you screwed me over? :rage: Fine, I'll not share my victory then. Your loss.
