  • If you think fear is always irrational it will screw up your life. I got him to correct himself in order to protect the audience from the consequences of that false conclusion.

  • When we say an irrational emotion, we mean an emotion based on "irrational or unsound arguments".If you prefer the term "inappropriate emotion" that's fine. Some emotions are based on "irrational or unsound arguments",others are not.

  • A rational fear is one based on facts and sound resoning, albeit, a subconscious evaluation. In this case, the fact that the tiger can eat you - a bad thing you should rationally be afraid off.

  • jan, you need to make the crooks that are mccain and obama stutter and show their true colors.

  • So then why is Biden such a war monger? Sounds irrational to me.

  • Jan is genius.

  • Biden.. the Constitution is there to direct government behavior.. not the public behavior. This guy has no idea what he is talking about.. why the people of this nation keep electing idiots like Biden is beyond me.

  • Biden SUCKS...

  • @apmatadirolf His first response was only as improper as the question was ridiculous; Ask a stupid question and you'll get stupid answers.

    The type of argument you engaged in is called Reductio ad absurdum (Reduction to the absurd); It's the characteristic style of argument used by Socrates. But you've not used the argument correctly, its only provable when the context of the discussion is uncontested. You initiated the discussion but then defined the context for him by forcing the argument.

  • @Imtryingtodoright I dunno, he sounds like I can have a lot more intelligent conversation with him than you with your string of petty superficial insults

  • @rubearo almost as bad as some theocons I know

  • @rubearo With faith you can be a complete imbecile and/or a violent hateful bigot and anti-humanist. Funny, but when absolutists like you get power, you seem to like to start wars and punish people.

  • Ron Paul 2012 Natural Law

  • @rubearo I understand, as long as you aren't confusing liberal/socialists with liberal/libertarians because they're the opposite of each other. For example, liberal/socialists would rather add insult to injury by passing a bill that imposes a health insurance mandate on all Americans and another income tax. While liberal/libertarians would rather let the free market work by passing a bill that abolishes the patent system and restricts copyrights to original, non-technical artwork.
