No, it's not an attempt at ridiculing Heskey's logic, you retard. He had no argument, and I made no argument either. There was no logic in his post -- that isn't necessarily a bad thing, not everything someone says must make a factual claim.
Your usage of 'You must ... then' means that you made a logical inference based on premises made in Heskey's post. There is logic in his post, logic that you use to say something stupendous and irrelevant.

Oh really, you just figured that one out genius? Obviously it's not what he was saying, I was implying cRPG forums is the first place where he heard the word "science" and "theory of evolution"... not being serious, as anyone with half a brain would have figured out.
The thought crossed my mind that you were doing that and then I discarded it, as I didn't think anyone would dare to make two more cringy posts on the basis of the lamest little 'joke'. Guess I should degrade my social expectations to accomodate for you.

Do you not even know what an argument is you retard? It was a quote, backed up by no arguments or points. Nor did I ever claim victory by using it; way to fail, Teeth.
Argument was the wrong word indeed, it was the only seemingly on-topic thing you said, though with its source being something entirely different from the Quran it was a useless post as well. You are right, you didn't actually argue anything in the last few pages and little before that. Yet you are all over the thread like parasital growth.

No, there isn't. Only an utter retard would think "if some people tried thinking for themselves they might even enjoy it" is some sort of an argument. Ding ding, we have a winner. And what I said is only irrelevant if you're too stupid to grasp its meaning. Wow, double winner! You've never won this much in your entire life, you must be ecstatic.

There, there, no need to be so harsh on yourself for being context blind.

You mean an useless post like all of your posts in this thread? Hypocrite, like I said.

I don't think that is an argument. Obviously this is the part of Heskey's post from which you drew a premise ''You dont need to be 'enlightened' to get bored of the same 2 'religion sux' type posts that this forum produces and recycles every thread.'' To which you respond with this:

You must hate science then, and things like the theory of evolution. The same theory repeated over and over! So boring, and obviously false, since people keep saying the same things about it.

You are clearly inferring his stance towards science and the theory of evolution by misusing Heskey's premise, as Heskey obviously commented on the quality of the 'religion sux' posts aside from them being repeated. How can you say his and your post do not contain logic, while you attempted to use it?

So him saying he's bored is an argument? Uh....... okay....... you sure do have strange views on what constitutes an argument - first a quote is one, then "I'm bored" is one.

I never said his post contained an argument. It's you that drew a premise from it; 'Heskey finds things that are said over and over again boring'. Added a premise; 'The same things get said about science and the theory of evolution over and over again'. And finally you drew a conclusion; 'Heskey finds science and the theory of evolution boring'. Then you proceed to stretch it to him hating science and the theory of evolution, and even seeing them as false. That is an argument, albeit a poor one as it is built on a false premise and concluding more than the premises warrant.

No, I didn't draw that premise from it, so your whole argument falls apart.

Why yes you did. You started your sentence with 'Then you ... must', if you can't see that is a conclusion based on one premise you got from Heskey and the other one you came up with in the next sentence, you are absolutely oblivious. This is exactly what a basic argument is, try to keep up Xant.

I didn't say I didn't make a conclusion based on a premise I got from Heskey, I'm saying you've got the wrong premise. Try to keep up, Teeth. I wonder how long you'll keep on trying to desperately prove this unrelated tangent of your original claim, which I destroyed.

Rename the thread to Who's smarter and re do the poll to : Teeth, Xant, rest of crpg community

How can anyone deny that GB was the greatest european nation.
This is the internet.
Men are men
Women are men
Little girls are FBI agents.
Those are the rules no?

Wow! This thread is still going!
That's surprising, didn't think anyone would dispute Russians to be the greatest nation after the reunion with Crimea.
If any of your small-ass countries ever does the same, then you might post something in this thread.





... Am I doing this right?

Britain kind did the same, by making sure Scotland stay in the Union.
