Joe Ferguson forever

No. If someone doesn’t understand a solid immunology lecture it doesn’t follow that the lecture was meaningless.

I’ll admit, I get a laugh out of the local ads. The car dealership ads are often hilarious but it must work or they’d stop. The ambulance chasers and disability ads just pi$$ me off

Freedom of speech is a big deal. He was successful. Very successful. 22 years on his own show isn’t liver sausage. So he could well afford to share his true thoughts. Sounds like the American dream on steroids. And this isn’t about him.

To be taken seriously? Seriously?

be more specific JD.

Ad hominem. What in my post do you disagree with? In retrospect, it's clearly #19

lots of truth. we don't always find it. But it's there.

I don't imagine anyone will defend the selling of indulgences. That happened centuries ago and Luther rightly called it out. My wife likes a to say "It doesn't matter. We're all praying to the same God. Pick a team." I agree with her. I needn't encourage you to call me out.

call me out when i use fallacies. That's not how I desire to debate. Maybe you're talking about my appeals to authority. That's not a fallacy if the authority is widely recognized as one. For example, it's not a fallacy to note that a Harvard dean in a relevant dept supports the idea that tylenol has an effect on fetal neurodevelopment.

No. There are many examples of hermaphroditism. That’s truth.

That seems the obvious path for the networks. I doubt the OTA viewers are the heavy consumers they want to target with ads. But if a president wants to squelch their speech with threats, he still can. Streaming is under the jurisdiction of the FCC, right? As an aside, it doesn't make sense to me why Sinclair and similar companies are worth as much as they are said to.

is there a law that says this? serious question.

There are absolutes on earth. a person is either alive or dead, The earth is round. Gravity exists etc. These things don't have truth, they are truth. "have the truth" is slippery, sliding into relativism.

wow. projection much. you have nearly 24k posts. are you changing the world? I'm just trying to make the cesspool more reasoned with this.

cool. call it when you see it on either side.

"wtf did you say to me?". De Niro rocks. https://www.mediaite.com/media/entertainment/trumps-fcc-brutally-mocked-in-kimmel-return-by-rabid-anti-trump-star-robert-deniro/

so logic isn't your thing. I would never have guessed.

it's who you are. own it. btw, I' d argue that your most recent answer to tibs was a red herring fallacy. We could make the entire forum into a logical exercise. wouldn't that be fun!

so Thank you for checking in. If he had won we would not have been treated to President Brandon for four years. It seems obvious to me. hmmm, which fallacy is this? anyone want to answer? the answers to my initial questions are that there is no truth and logic doesn't matter on ppp. yes. and logic? It's humans attempt to find truth and therefore, God.

my conclusion was that I didn't believe it. my opinion. i didn't say it was so. I was wrong but used no fallacy to support my conclusion. the premises were sound. I should have realized that discussing a concept would be above you. I'm sure there are some on the board for which that isn't true.

This is not about one particular issue. It's about absolutes. Are there any? Does logic exist? Does truth exist? Is it important? We all use logical fallacies in our arguments, some more than others. But would it be preferable to avoid them or not purposefully use them at all? I think there are absolutes and that logic exists and is vital towards the search for truth which we all should want. https://academicinfluence.com/inflection/study-guides/logical-fallacies#tu-quoque A common fallacy deployed here lately has been "everyone does it so it's ok for he/me to do it". I think this is a variation on #7 in the above link. Ad hominems, appeals to authority, straw men and non sequiturs are in abundance here as well, from both sides.. Would it make for better debate if we tried to avoid these? Or is that unrealistic or simply wrong?

thanks for letting everyone know that tylenol can be overdosed. As your videos illustrate, medical professionals are well aware. Tylenol ODs are a common method for suicide attempts. We have effective treatment and most survive. This is completely irrelevant to autism. Frightening if you didn't realize that

find another doctor. splain...

I'm beginning to see this as a pretty decent win. ABC relented to the court of public opinion.
