YES! YES! YES! ... Hahahaha, double-entendre. -Duxwing

You want me to be like him? -Duxwing

He openly declared that he wanted to convert us to his views, logic or no logic. Neither I or anyone else on here came here to be converted by a self-admitted subjectivist lunatic, and we asked him to stop. He didn't stop. So we banned him. Good riddance to bad rubbish! -Duxwing

Oh dear. *shakes his head, smiling* -Duxwing

Awwww, thanks! :) -Duxwing

(thinking to himself) Double entendre... a woman could swoon over a big duck... big dack? big dock? big d-- --Augh! My EYES! :eek: It burns. It BUUUUUURNS! And I wouldn't have even noticed it, either. Oh, my eyes! ... :D ... And thanks for clearing my confusion up. -Duxwing

You said "they". Who was the other person? As for Darkwing Duck, no relation. My cousins are a cloudless, rosy, dawning sky and the quiet rumble of my engine 'neath the great beyond where eagles fly. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/31/Ray_Flying_Legends_2005-1.jpg :)...

*chik, chi-chuk* *shoulders his Remington 870, lining the ESFP up in his sights* Get off my lawn. -Duxwing

I do feel better, thanks Jenny. :) I think that I'm going to put him on ignore, too. It's just so frustrating. Do you think that he's an ISFJ? I've never seen an INTP commit that many logic errors and spin narratives instead of writing cogent arguments. Also, who is the V guy? -Duxwing

And that is quite possibly the greatest insult that he could ever deliver unto me. My whole life, I've argued-- laughing, moaning, honing my craft-- and getting accolades from the reasonable ones around me. But then, out from the coppery depths, some old fashioned dunce tries to paint me as an...

Then the solution is simple. When writing a response, read the response first, understand it, and then let your racing mind create a response. Once your mind has finished creating the response, describe it at a nice, easy pace. That way, both you and your conversation partners will be able to...

Finally, someone gives me a model! :) -Duxwing

Right, and are you saying that we'd be better off arguing about something else? What frame of reference are we using? Are we arguing that the death penalty ought to be banned, or simply that it hasn't any good grounding? The distinction is subtle but important: the former debate makes...

Re: What makes you any different? But what people believe does not necessarily indicate what is true. What of the little-known ins and outs of quantum physics? You're only helping my point. The fact that the Earth turned out to be round is exactly the sort of blunder that such...

They would be guilty or innocent of being a danger to society, so guilt and innocence are still germane. -Duxwing

Understood. Ceasing debate. -Duxwing

Awwww. :) -Duxwing

I was arguing on the assumption that such is inevitable. Am I wrong in so assuming? -Duxwing

Oh, OK! That makes more sense. And I agree. -Duxwing

Thank you. :D You should see two pictures up soon. -Duxwing

Re: Undo your Dis-Englightenment! Then why is the video called "Reggie Watts disorients you in the most entertaining way"? :confused: -Duxwing

Chad GodOfOrder Ehh? How is what you said related to what I said? :confused: -Duxwing

And isn't the execution of innocent people counterproductive to the aims of any given judicial system? -Duxwing

I didn't even intend to troll. Nice backhanded compliment. :phear: Hehe, good one. :) Non-INTP behaviors? Hmmmm... Aha! --From time to time, I love bobbing and weaving through hall traffic in school, searching for gaps in the throng. It feels like flying a jet plane or driving...

If maturity is the act of continuously restricting one's natural impulses, then it is beneficial only inasmuch as restricting one's impulses is beneficial. -Duxwing

Oh, wow! I never knew about this. Thanks! -Duxwing

Re: What makes you any different? I didn't intend for the conversation to end up like this. Sorry. :o -Duxwing

Re: What makes you any different? By that logic, the earth is flat and planes can't fly. Poof. There goes your argument. You're essentially saying "I, scorpiomover, am the ultimate arbiter of truth and falsehood". You're moving the goalposts: An argument is either valid or invalid...

That sounds about right. Single-celled organisms can reproduce quite easily, even if radically different. Multicellular evolution can be observed in the fossil record. Consider giraffes, whose long necks evolved to reach leaves. They were once much shorter (and we can verify this in the...

Re: What makes you any different? A "first hand account" is an account of one's experience, but you're only helping my point, here. The account numbering is irrelevant from the context, but I never asserted that it was. I asked for both a first-hand account and the context...

Your tone seemed positive, so I wanted to see if you were arguing "should" rather than "why". I do apologize about not having mentioned that. Now I've got egg on my face. :o Hey, wait a minute! So you do think that it's a good idea. At least I wasn't wrong about that. :D Ah, I think...

That's not something that evolutionary theory predicts. It simply predicts that, all conditions remaining the same, that each successive generation of a given population of organisms will be slightly better adapted to the conditions of that population's environment because those organisms that...

Re: What makes you any different? Actually, the primary source would be a recording of Einstein's words or a firsthand account of the quote and its context, neither of which was provided here. Instead, scorpiomover quoted Einstein from another source, making him a secondary source. -Duxwing

The party attempting to escape can always file a no-fault divorce, and palimony laws exist to prevent what you've described. This is why I think that marriage ought to be abolished. It's needless bureaucracy. -Duxwing

That's the point that we're arguing about, so if you can't demonstrate the necessity of marriage, then concede that you can't. -Duxwing

And how does this relate to the matter at hand? And what is the downside to removing it? A minor reduction in deterrence? Who may very well be innocent. One cannot undo an execution if later evidence exonerates the dead party. And how is the prison system relevant, here? If you're...

And that same security and commitment cannot be achieved by a simple question, "Will you help me raise the kids and take care of me when I'm hurt?" -Duxwing

Re: What makes you any different? For someone allegedly so good at logic, your counterpoint contains most of the main logical fallacies: --Argumentum ad hominem --Argument from authority --Argumentum ad populum Argumentum ad populum unless you can substantiate this with the analyses...

And did I ever say that the death penalty is the only problem? No. In fact, I agree that convicted people shouldn't be subject to extrajudicial punishment by their peers. -Duxwing

Maybe you're an ISFJ? Your arguments contain plenty of references to experience and are often quite emotionally loaded: ad-hominem, arm-chair psychology, the works. -Duxwing

Why would one want to even pretend to commit for the rest of one's life? What if one or one's partner changes, thereby rendering the marriage unworkable? Divorce is possible, but if one knew that such an event were possible, then why ever profess a lifetime commitment? For the sake of...

Let's not turn this into a man-hate thread: Neither are human females. -Duxwing

Inevitably, some innocent people will be executed and later found innocent, but, due to the permanence of death, they cannot be revived. -Duxwing

One cannot raise the dead. -Duxwing

Dear Forum, Why do we marry? -Duxwing

Ehhh, there's one nagging problem with the death penalty: what if they're innocent? What if you kill the wrong person? It's worth the extra buck to keep them alive in case later evidence can exonerate them. -Duxwing

Chad, why did you include only one example of being different? You seem to be more focused on the fact that you're frustrated about our not agreeing with you on matters of religion than about examining differences among us. -Duxwing

Owwwwwww! -Duxwing

The view itself is certainly incorrect, but the torrent of illogic used to create it was so odd that I had a hard time believing someone to be so utterly devoid of reason as to actually believe it. Since I like to make these kinds of jokes (e.g., my self-deprecating sarcasm about my tendency to...

Hahahaha! That's a good one. :) And thanks for the compliment, too. -Duxwing
