Anatomy of a discussion with Lawson - 03-25-04

Person A: States premises, makes argument, states conclusion.

Lawson: Instead of attacking the logical argument, attacks the premises.

Person A: Backs up premises with a cited source.

Lawson: Attacks the source of the citation.

yada yada. I'll add more when I feel like it.

Suffice to say that never is the conclusion specifically argued against, just obscured in argument.

I can understand your frustration at your lack of success. You need to look inward to discover the source of your problems. When the facts are not on your side, you won't do very well when debating. Look inward.

Actually I tend to do that, the problem is thus:

Person A: I think that yeast-extract on toast sounds like a tasty snack.

Lawson: So you agree that Bush was right?


Thanks. Find out exactly what to think, next.

Good to see you Peter.

This thread is still waiting for you to answer my question...

Do you believe that Saddam harbored terrorists in Iraq?

I've had mine for well over a year. I considered changing it, but I don't know to what yet.

Oh I didn't mean it badly really, I know you've had yours awhile, its just they do seem a little big for no reason, Lawson could get a smaller version and you could have the image and text seperate so it flows to the borders.

Pet hate, I'm just picky.

Least theirs arent out of date.


Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.

I still don't consider myself a member, really.

No, that isn't an excuse to ban me, before you even say it

Bah its not about member/non member it about about while you`re here you consider yourself to have left here.
