    Basic Logic 101

    Often I wonder how the goverment can so easily manipulate so many people, but then I spend 10 minutes on your average web forum and it becomes painfully obvious; people don't even have the most basic logic skills. As a primer, start by at least learning the basic logical fallacies. It will only help your own debate abilities and it will also teach you the very techniques that are used to mislead so many people. But hey, what do you expect when the government is also in charge of education?

    And when you reduce everything asserted to its logical conclusion, you get...... my signature.

    Thank you oh great and logical one for your ten minutes on our humble forum.

    Thank you for inferring that you are an expert on whatever you choose to discuss, that you should be believed at face value and that the rest of us who don't agree with you are stupid and illogical.

    I understand your post and I see it in people in and every day. It is so easy to get over on people, even after they have found out that you have lied to them. Sound familiar? I mean, people still think that Oswald killed JFK and that Columbus discovered America even though the FACTS say otherwise.

    That's why we don't have democracy in this country, although the politicians want you to believe otherwise. A democracy is nothing more than a means for the majority to strip the minority of their inalienable rights. Not once in the Constitution or Declaration of Independence is the word "Democracy." mentioned.

    Why cant the man or woman express an idea without getting shitted on? Its a valid point. Logic can often be lacking in a coversation to the detriment of that conversation. Good grief.
