>Exposing logical fallacies?
yah, 'cause critical thinking partly requires being able to spot them and not fall into the trap of even responding to them.
I want to discuss this more. Alas, the sonshine was in a terrible car accident yesterday and I'll be at the hospital for the next coupla days. He's going to be fine: he was wearing a seat belt and had airbags in the car. Just in a lot of pain.
Boy, it's been one fuxored month. $2000 in car repair bills. I took a spill, broke a tooth, $3000 for a bridge! $1500 for last year's hospital bills. And now this. Oh, and some jackass stole $150.00 in groceries out of my car when I inadvertently left the passenger side door unlocked!
Meshugana!
But hey, I've been anti-war agitating at the hospital with nurses and doctors.
