  3. Love is not rational.

    Art is not rational.

    Beauty is not rational.

    Humor is not rational.

    Joy is not rational.



    Your premise is flawed.
    Prove all of the above empty assertions.

    ART IS NOT RATIONAL

    Ok ok... I AGREE with this one! LMAO :D

  4. This is probably the last time I have the patience to do this. From now on you have to pay me for these lessons.

    These are all logical fallacies, appeals to authority, appeals to the masses, etc. The number or supposed authority of people believing in something does not make it true.

    It's perfectly logical to point out absurdity. Whether or not this is ridicule is debatable. You continue to confuse belief with empirical fact. So your question is not entirely relevant.

    Ridicule is not illogical, and this proves you don't understand the word. Illogical is basing an opinion on something other than objective reality. Yes, ridicule does serve a purpose, specifically, to point out that certain beliefs are utter nonsense.


    I made strong arguments repeatedly. You chose to ignore them and then attacked my character. The fault for resorting to ad hominem lays solely on YOUR shoulders.

    Why do you have a right to your rebuttal but I don't? In other words, you want to spew all sorts of nonsense and not be called on it. Hogwash.

    I reject your attack on me. I did not ridicule you at all. I did point out that your beliefs were nonsense. I'm sorry if that hurt your feelings. But you now seem intent on pursuing this ad hominem argument against me. Sorry, not interested. I have fully proven my point to the original argument. You have failed to supply proof to counter that argument and are therefore WRONG. If you want to call it "ridicule," be my guest.

  8. So now you're name-calling. Are you going to challenge me to a playground fight next?

  9. Dont even try Sardo, your debating someone who has clearly
    shown he is incompetent to debate.

    I think we can end this thread with his final quote:



    ART: "ART IS NOT RATIONAL"


    peace

  10. LOL... Yes, I'm soooo emotional. I guess he thinks he's insulting me on the mistaken belief that emotion and logic are mutually exclusive. YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING TOO MUCH STAR TREK, ART!
    :)
