38. LOL. But really, Scottyxyz
Edited on Sun Sep-21-03 07:01 PM by BevHarris
you did a bit of a flamefest downthread there.

I must say I liked and committed to memory your logical excellence, though:

Appropriate logic
Person A broke the law on day 3.
Therefore Person A has broken the law.
Person A is a lawbreaker.

Inappropriate and incorrect logic
Person A did not break the law on day 7.
Therefore Person A never breaks the law at all.
Person A is hereby exonerated as a lawbreaker.

and, I would add that this would be appropriate logic:
Person A broke the law on day 3.
Person A did not break the law on day 7.
Person A again broke the law on day 12.
Person A is a lawbreaker.
