FOR CHRIS - Proposing a topic

Stop using the word "logic", damn it!!! Go take several college level logic courses before claiming yourself master of logic.I've been working with grade school level kids for years and I think you're the only kid that ever irritate me this much.Added by edit.However, for the remote possibility that you actually know what logic really means, tell me this. What does modus tollens mean and how does it work? If A, then B. Not A, therefore not B. What fallacy did I just commit or what's wrong with the statement?This message has been edited by Troy, 04-24-2005 12:17 PM

Ok, I apologize for the previous post.What does modus tollens mean and how does it work? It's not a personal grudge. It's your "I know all" attitude that hasn't gone away after all these years.This message has been edited by Troy, 04-24-2005 12:19 PM

Oh really? So what form of logic do you deal with?

What are the premises that human logic has? What are the bases for it? Who studied them and how were they created?

I'm just trying to understand what you think logic is. You can help me by telling me about it. By simply saying, "this is logical... that is logical..." won't help me one bit. You have to explain your train of thought to me.

True, but they would have to explain why they don't think it is logical, in layman's terms at least. Imagine this. If I were to say, "it is perfectly logical that you are a bot instead of a real person behind a computer..." you would want me to explain why I think that rather than just accepting my words at face value.So, again, you have to explain to us how your logic work.

You don't wanna know what I think of your recent posts.

Like AP said, let's see one on philosophy. I swear, I will only use science if it directly contradict what we know... like the spherical shape of the Earth. This should be interesting.
