You have yet to prove anything yourself, so i could ask you the same thing.

WELL, I KNOW THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE WHO WOULD TOTALLY POST BUT THEY'RE SCARED THAT YOU'LL STEAL THEIR LUNCH MONEY.
I GUESS I WIN. THREE HUNDRED IS CLEARLY A BIGGER NUMBER THAN TWO.

, that wasn't meant to be responded to. Also, for one asking people to stick with facts especially, I would say that mockery is not a strong debate topic.......

So it's a basis based on judgement? Man, that doesn't even make sense. But okay, you've defined it now.

No, it means something to base your judgement on, what part of that can you not comprehend?!

Character assessments are useful for all kinds of reasons. Obviously you agree, or you wouldn't have convinced yourself that I'm some kind of arrogant hypocrite.

As I said, you're that extreme case I spoke of.
Quote:
Could I not equally say the same to you? Dude, step back and think about this objectively. The whole "I AM RIGHT SO YOU MUST BE STUBBORN" thing just doesn't carry any weight. It requires you to assume that you're right, in which case you're at least as stubborn as I.

Show one instance in which you have taken someone's opinion into consideration instead of saying "opinion doesn't matter or "prove it".

Which presupposes what I mentioned earlier: That your memories are accurate.

Based on probability, I would think so. Especially when there is evidence of such a memory happening.

You are using experience to confirm the validity of experience? Have you ever heard of circular logic?

Just like you use stupidity to confirm my stupidity

Well, the error you made would not be accepted by most intelligent, educated people.

Maybe english majors, but the nerdiest kid in my school has made the same type of errors before as well (as for you saying claims dont say anything, you are doing the same thing).

And I know that you secretly wish for a flowery pink pony, which you would call 'StarDancePrancer'. Don't deny it! I know it's true.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

I didn't dismiss your definition. I showed that the truth value of a statement can modify whether it implies what you gave.
|
You criticize one stretching a definition to suit their needs. Why is compressing it to suit your own any better? Besides, arrogance is as arrogance does. If I had gone up to that cat and said "Ha! I am smarter than you!", that is arrogance. However, if I said "I am smarter than a cat", it is a simple comparison not meant to hurt the cat in any way. Arrogance is defined when one is trying to show superiority over an inferior. Truth doesn't matter.

Because then you wouldn't be able to as easily dismiss his opinion, right? You would need to decide that he just hates everybody whose name starts with an 'F'.
|
No, I would just figure that there is a high chance that he doesn't like me, whether he likes you or not.

Agreeing with somebody and then appending a is not a particularly strong debating tactic.

It seems fine to me, it's meant to say "You are an idiot for asking".
