Has Anybody Noticed The Increased Use Of The Word "Logic" Around Here Lately ???

[WillyT]

Not pointing a finger at any one poster, there are a number of them. And one last night, wanted me to "recognize his genious"!

Did we accidentally get crosswired into a Trekkie, or Dungeons & Dragons Convention???



Normally... if you use logic, or happen to be a genious...

ya don't put that fact in the post. Usually, it is self evident.

Just sayin...

1. As a 7th level magic user

with a wisdom of 17, I concur!

3. One of those thought terminating cliches

that belongs with 'The bottom line...', 'at the end of the day.....', 'strawman' and 'logical fallacy'.

[Caution]

4. Ah yes being logical would mean that we couldn't actually post conspiracy theories

or condemn all medical science as evil, or couldn't peddle the latest garbage about autism-vaccine links.

What a tragedy it would be if human beings actually used logic in the arguments relating to the political arena.

[poverlay]

9. I know it's miserable to listen to idiots who contradict themselves with their first sentence, but

sometimes the conspiracy theories are fun. Sometimes, they are plausible. Sometimes they are true.
So this post is in defense of conspiracy theories. We shouldn't paint them with the broad brush of "illogicality". Else, all someone must to to invalidate us, and our theories, is to brand us conspiratists.

15. Would it be logical to broad brush all ideas not conforming

to our perceived reality as baseless? Should those ideas never be expressed? Is that logical? :shrug:

26. but but but....

I know all those things are true...I just know it!!!! Be series111!!!;-) :hi:

30. the op's not really complaining about being logical

The complaint is about posters who loudly proclaim they're being logical and then go on to make the same silly arguments everyone else does.

[Ezlivin]

5. It does seem logical

:)

[mzteris]

6. Now if we could just increase the use of

Logic around here.

And no, I'm not kidding.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

7. Yes! Why? Because those who've taken upon themselves to CREATE reality rather than address it,...

,...are RULING THIS COUNTRY and fucking it up along with the rest of human potential.

CONVENIENTLY, these power-mongering, human scum treat facts and logic like an enemy BECAUSE REALITY IS THEIR ENEMY.

What else is necessary to explain these IMMORAL, UNLOYAL, ANTI-DEMOCRATIC PROFITEERS OFF HUMANITY?

They are criminals not only within the realm of American existence but also HUMAN existence. Why? They violate every law, every code of honor, every point of decency, our own Constitution to get what THEY WANT ---> POWER, at any cost (to US NOT THEM).

8. Fascinating.

10. I personally find it helpful

because sometimes I can't tell just from reading a post that its author is being logical, or rational, or otherwise demonstrating the overall magnificence of their thought process, unless they label their post as such.

[WillyT]

12. LOL !!! - Holy MENSA Batgirl !!!

You are correct. I find it helpful too, but not necessarily in the way the poster thinks it's helpful.

"...the overall magnificence of their thought process."

:rofl::evilgrin::rofl:

Save us Batgirl...

:hi:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

11. Illogical

that one would feel a need to expound of their own logic.

[Mark_Pogue]

13. The OP takes a logical approach

to the use of the word, "logical". Is that logically correct?

[GeorgeGist]

16. Yes, the word is often used ...

as a tipoff by the poster to indicate that they don't know shit from shinola. Not referring to you of course.

[WillyT]

17. What Exactly Is Shinola ???

:bounce::hi::bounce:

[tkmorris]

18. old school shoe polish I think nt

[WillyT]

19. You Are Correct !!!

Shinola is a brand of wax shoe polish that was available in the early- to mid-20th century. The original trademark was filed in 1929 by 2-in-1 Shinola-Bixby Corporation, New Jersey.

27. Sometimes I think that when someone uses the actual word logic

you can substitute "I read it on the internet so it is true and real".:eyes:

[Jonathan50]

31. Logic is a powerful tool, when used properly..

Like fire though, logic can be a fearsome foe when used improperly.

32. Interesting observation.
