To my friends out that that enjoy a good/healthy argument. It is a very interesting article on how to argue and how to evaluate arguments. I admit is a difficult read, but perhaps someone may find it useful.

As the Monty Python bit goes, if she is lighter than a duck, she must float, and therefore is made of wood (or is it very small stones?) so we must burn her! That's the kind of logic I see popping up around here occassionally.

I think all right thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

I'm certainly not. And I'm sick and tired of being told that I am!

wahoo

To follow the Monty Python theme, sometimes you enter a thread expecting a good arguement, but you enter the wrong room and get abuse.

He enters room 12.

Angry man: WHADDAYOU WANT?

Man: Well, Well, I was told outside that...

Angry man: DON'T GIVE ME THAT, YOU SNOTTY-FACED HEAP OF PARROT DROPPINGS!

Man: What?

A: SHUT YOUR FESTERING GOB, YOU TIT! YOUR TYPE MAKES ME PUKE!

YOU VACUOUS STUFFY-NOSED MALODOROUS PERVERT!!!

M: Yes, but I came here for an argument!!

A: OH! Oh! I'm sorry! This is abuse!

M: Oh! Oh I see!

A: Aha! No, you want room 12A, next door.

M: Oh...Sorry...

A: Not at all!

Monty Python . . . can we just take it as written that everyone who has ever posted onto the internet, or for the sake of all that is holy, usenet has at one time or another read and then regurgitated every spoken word ever perpetrated by the five man constrictor. No. Probably not. So, SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAMMITY-SPAM WONDERFUL SPAM . . . .

No, its a false one.

Back on topic:
That is a good article, but I feel arguing must come naturally. If one has to stop and think about it then you might as well give up.
