Gratuitous and disgusting! Shame on you!!

[RichieR]

How's about asinine:biggrin:

[mikeh]

Bollocks! I have no interest in what the rich bloke up the road as got, it don't put salt on my porridge!

 

Where it goes wrong IMO Is when people go to work, live frugally and still can't make ends meet.

 

Spot on Eggs....

soooo true! the 1%'ers don't :thumbup:

 

No it's not, its cobblers. It's what's called a false dichotomy.

 

Hiya Mountain Man- seeing as how the comment was made by you, my first reaction was that you were right anyway as i was about to move n to next comment I suddenly thought "hang on a minute" ..........

 

A false dichotomy is when an argument is presented as an 'either or situation', 'black white' thing when in fact there is another or multiple alternatives to consider. However, in this case you either "care about others" in which case you are not someone who "only cares about themselves" or you "only care about yourself" in which case you are not one that "cares about others" - therefore it is not a false dichotomy..........

 

Although I am willing to concede that the same individual Human Being can at different times fall into either camp....

That was supposed to be in connection with a quote by Mountain Man earlier but I got the Quote thingy wrong.................. oh, I can't be bothered now.

[Mortimer Firewood]

No, he is right I've known some right nasty bastards be extremely nice, I've just always made a point of remembering what a nasty bastard they really are while they're being nice to me :lol:

False Dichotomy (Dilemma) { Philosophy Index }

To Mountain Man - i know it is because of the possibility of any given person being capable of either at any given moment - just being tongue in cheek. TBH none of the politicians offer anything worthwhile so noon e for me to vote for - would prefer 'None of the above' option to let them know what i think of them.
