To be fair, I called him a cunt before he called anyone else on here that. :(

It uses flawed reasoning, and therefor is not rational. It is about as rational as saying that Black people shouldn't breed because they are more succeptible to becoming criminals. Sure, statistically, it is true, but it isn't because they are black, and to deny them the right to family would be irrational.

It wasn't meant as an insult. It was meant to be more of a truthful observation. If you were insulted by it, then that sounds like a personal problem to me. Quit with your "victim" mentality and see things for what they are. Baby.

You're confusing "rational" with "correct." Something can be based on flawed reasoning and still be rational; the flawed reasoning just makes it WRONG, not irrational.

I guess I am confusing those two. I dunno. Still, wouldn't it be considered irrational to ignore all actual proof against your previously rational mindset? That's what I am getting at.

I think what he's saying is that there's a difference between:

GAYS SUCK BECAUSE THEY ARE GAY AND THEY MAKE THE WORLD SUCK

and

Gays pollute the social atmosphere and suffer from mental instability... or whatever.

The later sounds rational, even if it's "Untrue" or misguided, while the prior just sounds stupid and void of any thought.

Immortal Goat Feb 6th, 2006 08:13 PM

I get his point, but to sound rational doesn't neccesarily mean that it IS rational. Like I said before, it is anything BUT rational to continue with untrue beliefs when faced with actual facts.

How about we just call it eloquent retarded?

Emu Feb 6th, 2006 10:37 PM

Sounds good to me.

ScruU2wice Feb 6th, 2006 10:51 PM

someone told me he's dead now? I got nothingto back it up though.

Dr. Boogie Feb 6th, 2006 11:09 PM

Yeah, he died in the hospital. Now, they're looking into whether or not the girl in the car was killed by him, or possibly by the crossfire during the shootout with the cops.
