Pace jag, that is ipso facto a fortiori a complete simpliciter. ;)

how much do I rock?

oh, sorry, latin not latino :rolleyes:

There's the fallacy ad fallacium -- the fallacious idea that if an proposition is supported by fallacious arguments, it must be false. Then there's logical fallacies that work pretty well in real life, such as the old standby ad hominem (if an asshole supports the idea it must be stupid) and some forms of the slippery slope (if you give them an inch they'll take a mile). Also the fallacy ad fellatium, which has something to do with Bill Clinton.

Don't forget the fallacy ad rectum.

Someone who is cleary talking out of their ass.

ad obfuscarum

the fallacy of burying your argument in obscure vocabulary, so that people are too intimidated to respond …

But that's half of the fun sometimes.

Indubitably. Byzantine patois is in perpetuum salutary to circumlocute behind.

Obfuscating your quodlibet via magniloquent language peppering one's causeries is poor form I agree.

fuck yeah! :cool: looks like us colonists aren't too good at that stuff, huh?

Or just write you off as a loser and move on. :)

Life's too short for rules. ;)

Rules give life value and meaning.

Rules let us learn from other than our own experiences.

So does simply living life. That's not to say that we don't "need" rules, b/c we certainly do, but IMO, for some things, just go with the flow sometimes. Can't hurt, can it?
:D

Rules are left-brain, alphabetic, law-oriented, linear and patriarchal. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
