Florida plans to become first state to eliminate all childhood vaccine mandates

No, you're doing the exact opposite of avoiding the errors here, you are introducing them and really just highlighting why dictionaries and encyclopedias are so important. I get into these errors below.

No dictionary defines any word. False authority fallacy. Repetition fallacy (chanting).

No, we agree on math.

No, you don't. You deny mathematics as well.

It's your definitions of words like abortion where we disagree.

Not his definition. You do NOT get to redefine words..

Again, we agree on math.

Lie. You don't.

It's your definition of certain words that's the problem. Thus, my insistence that we use dictionaries and encyclopedias to try to find agreement on the definitions of certain words.

Dictionaries to not define any word.
Encyclopedias do not define any word.
False authority fallacies. Repetition fallacy (chanting).

 

[Into the Night]

Tell me, how would -you- describe the definition(s) of a word?

Nonsense question. Go learn English.

 

[Into the Night]

Well, I tried to find common ground for word definitions with you, but I think at this point it's become a lost cause.

You never did. You are preaching. You are grabbing any kind of false authority you can think of.

 

[Into the Night]

I suspect we're not going to come to an agreement here.

Obviously. You don't know the language.

 

[Into the Night]

Again, I suspect we're not going to come to an agreement here.

Because you insist on false authorities.

If you find a definition or usage of the word abortion in a dictionary that you can accept, let me know- I can then take a look at it and see if I can also accept it.

RQAA.

Abortion is the taking of a human life. It is a contract killing. When done for convenience, it is murder.

There are definitely rules in this forum. They're even posted here:

That being said, posting a set of rules is not the same thing as enforcing them. Things get especially complicated when the rules are ambiguous. This is why I reported one of IBDaMann's posts- to try to get some clarity on whether or not JPP Admins consider IBDaMann's quote box altering qualifies as quote box altering under Rule 16.

It doesn't. Go talk to Damocles about it.

They are listed but not actually enforced anymore.

Yes they are, 12b. You were banned for awhile, remember???

I'd say that almost everyone, if not everyone, tends to stick to sources that they find to be reliable.

A false authority is not a valid source.

I think we could agree that not everyone's sources -are- reliable- if they were, I doubt that we'd have the heated disagreements that we have in this forum.

A false authority is not a valid source.

I think the key to constructive debates is to try to understand why we disagree with each other. A lot of time, that involves delving into each other's sources of information and from there, making arguments as to why those sources are biased and/or authorative.

The ONLY authoritative meaning of any word is the etymology of that word. You CANNOT redefine a word at your convenience. Go learn English.

How'd it go?

Not yet.

I put Scott on Ignore. The second half of this thread is now invisible. Just goes to show that he clogs up the internet with bullshit.

Yep. He’s right on the edge. I have one reply of his to look at. It may well be the one that makes him invisible.

You both have got to be kidding me. You can't possibly find @Scott to be so threatening that you can't bear to face his differing view. I can understand you not being able to withstand conservative viewpoints that don't absolutely HATE humanity and everything good in life, thus forcing you to put conservatives on "IGNORE", but @Scott? Are you truly unable to process any differing view without going into an unhinged meltdown?

When logic has been replaced by vitriol, we get to a place that I think Nietsche best described:
“He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee.”

I get it. I like swimming in the abyss; the water is ice cold, just how I like it. Yes, I actually do prefer wading in a the peaceful, warm waters of a caribbean beach, but I'll go down with the Titanic as well.

I'll drop you a line from the abyss and keep you posted on how the debris is scattering.

Your bit about the titanic got me thinking of ways to go. Tyrian's response to a bandit leader still makes me smile . It's here if you're interested:

Incidentally, there's a youtube video that references this scene near the start on how to influence people that I thought was great. That's here:
