How does your autism affect your opinion on this issue?
You’ve declared that ad hominem is faulty reasoning.
Then stated this:
Why would any of us assume anything you tell us is true, (O_o), especially after your lied your tail off to us about “your” autism & “your” experience with the education system?
This response had nothing to do with the topic at hand, but was to discredit me - an irrelevant subject to the thesis.
Your choice to believe the scenerio being provided is not up to me. It is up to you.
Blatant ad hominem.
Any more questions?
Let’s assume I have completely pulled this out of my ass.
That aside…
Any comments regarding the scenerio?
Waiter? Check, please.
O_o, I see a couple of possibilities here, considering your unwillingness to post a link and your recent history:
A. The OP is a little more than a hypothetical situation, a strawman contrived by you to allow you to rant about how nutty those “tree-huggers” are;
B. The OP wasn’t written by you, but by someone else.
You’ve used direct quotes in your OP, indicating that it’s likely you’re quoting from some source of news. Even if the news source hasn’t posted something on its Web site (most newspapers and TV stations do have them, even in Canada), you could at least tell us the source of your quotes and information, lending a little veracity to your OP.
You might find people more willing to enter into a discussion based on verifiable information rather than something “completely pulled out of your ass.”
How about half a story?
B.C & Alberta Forest Fires:THE CIGARETTE
Credit goes to my friend Shad for finding this article…still no hippies though…
JonScribe: Another very good indicator it’s not his is the very different writing style compared to his other postings.
Maybe the reason nobody’s debating is because there’s nothing to debate. The only real question in the OP is
…to which the answer is always “yes”, regardless of the context.
You’ve posted a BBQ Pit rant in GD, and you’ve got a Pit thread as a result. All that remains is for its formal relocation.
Well, I don’t think anyone’s debating that there are actually forest fires in Alberta and B.C. In fact, if you search on Google news, you’ll see the “Crow’s Nest Pass” location mentioned in the OP also mentioned in several news stories.
If I had to take a guess, I’d say that the OP lifted the whole article from a local newspaper that isn’t online. His unwillingness to provide a source is probably on the chance that someone will happen to have that newspaper handy and call him on it.
neutron star: Not to mention what the mods told him what would happen if he ever plagiarized here again.
