    No it isn't. The only people who mistakenly use it in that sense simply don't know what it means.

    But that's besides the point. Do you normally get defensive whenever someone tries to share information with you? Are you one of those people who thinks he knows everything and pretends to get offended when someone teaches him something?

    If you are not showing how a false premise leads to a contradiction then you are not using Reductio ad Absurdum. You should call "bullshit!" on anyone claiming otherwise and you can expect that I will as well.

    Global Warming violates the 1st LoT by claiming a magical creation of thermal energy out of nothing, in the form of a temperature increase, which is somehow caused by a magical substance.
    Greenhouse Effect violates Stefan-Boltzmann and black body science by claiming that an increase in earth's temperature is somehow caused by a decrease in earth's radiance.
    Greenhouse Effect violates the 2nd LoT by claiming that the cooler atmosphere somehow heats the warmer earth's surface.

We do not know what kind of life exists on other planets, you cannot be certain that they do not exist, that would be the same. Just because someone imagined a life form does not mean that somewhere we have yet to discover might have a lifeform exactly like their imagination...
    Hear that whoosh? That's the sound of my comment going over your head.

    This kind of thing always makes me laugh.

    It is though, really... Older, fatter, and less nicotine addicted, but still the same guy who originally registered as Damocles because he could not remember the name Sisyphus that morning when he first registered at politics.com. I've always had a bit of what I call "halfzheimers" where I can't remember names, especially names...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    It makes you laugh eh? You know what makes laugh? One day you can tell me about DLI in detail...the next day "you" don't know what I'm talking about. Isn't it against the forum rules to give your password to someone else? Lick my balls.

    I can still tell you about DLI in detail... DLI isn't classified, and what we learned there is not classified. What I cannot talk about is my second school and pretty much anything about the actual job I performed in the Navy. Other than "Russian Translator", more detail is generally classified.

    Organized atheism has a hierarchy that is in a constant struggle for power. Atheism is basically a political organization that spends a lot of time in court learning how difficult it is to fight city hall. The groups I belonged to have a clique of wiccans who control everything through gossip and criticism. No different than the nuns in grade school.

    Maybe you can tell me about DLI in detail but the next person I talked to using the Damocles account couldn't. You were either fucking with me or you gave your password to someone else. How many people have the password to the Damocles account?

    I think you are mistaken. I wouldn't tell you I can't tell you in detail about DLI. I would tell you that I cannot tell you in detail about the second school. Maybe you think the school in Texas was the same as DLI... I don't know. I just think you are mistaken entirely about what you read from me. Can you find this conversation? Let's see what I said. I won't go into detail about DLI in a thread like this, because it is off topic distraction. But there is nothing that keeps me from talking about DLI other than things like that.
