Do you hate those morons who resort to name-calling? Would you like to tell us what Stephen Hawking had to say about appeals to authority? Speak your mind here! Personally, slippery slope arguments get on my nerves because they're the first symptom of sloppy thinking. If you let people get away with them, they inevitably get lazier in their debating and before you know it they're pulling out the Nazi references. -------------------- SupaNik: Aran, you're not big enough to threaten Ash.

This topic is entirely irrelevant to Spiderweb Software or its games. The so-called wisdom contained within it should be rejected out of hand. Besides, as everyone knows, ninety out of every hundred forum posts is just a bunch of lies. —Alorael, who knows all this because the Department of Homeland Security tells him so. He can't tell you everything because it might cause critical arguments to founder, but trust him, it's for the best. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I completely agree with Ego Ergo Sum and that this topic has completely NOTHING to do with spiderweb software or its games, and who is talking about hliterism? Anyone going to bet how long it takes for this topic to get locked? I could easily say the odds are 1:1.

For people that are not as educated as the rest such as I, this topic means nothing and it looks like a bunch of rabble that a drunk would be saying on a late Friday night that's trying to make himself sound smart. By the way, Sir David, General has basically become the new Misc anyway. -------------------- When you think you can't get any lower in life and hit rock bottom, God hands you a shovel.

quote:The purpose of most debates or arguments is not to convince your opponent that you're right and they're wrong (as if) - it's to produce the argument that can't be countered. Trying every possible argument until you exhaust your opponent is a valid strategy. (So is defining the axioms and ground rules so that your conclusions follow automatically.)
