Re: Growth Spurt

I endorse polite asking. Taking LinkG07's example, that is a polite way to ask. I would not know the how to even begin to change a video format (I guess one could check online) so then might be a good time to ask if it is out of your control.


Now it is time to learn about specific logical fallacies! Today it will be the "Straw-man fallacy." A straw-man fallacy is when you take a person's statement, tweak it or reward it slightly to make it sound crude or ridiculous(a "straw-man"), and then tear the new, weaker argument to pieces. It is extremely effective and often used in political speeches, debates, and the like.
I have seen a bunch of straw-men flying around this topic and wish for it to stop. Both sides. It is just silly. In fact, just stop the whole argument please.


I uploaded the sample pictures,(it should be ok because it was free on the site given, right?) so there is no more need to keep up this arguing. Just stop.
