Logical Arguments - Endangered Species
Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2007 12:25 pm
I miss the old days of philosophy where people would discuss an issue along the lines of logical deduction. I remember a TV show in Oz called 'Monday Conference ' in the early 70's. As a kid, I used to love following the line of reasoning used by the guests. There was very little shouting or interuption, and no opinion seemed to be off limits.
These days its all about shouting, throwing rocks through windows and accusing anyone who disagrees with you of being *******ist ( there's one for everything now ). A whole catalogue of opinions are simply not acceptable. What's so scary?
If you have a good argument, supported with logical reasoning, then why should you want to stop the oppossition from having their say?
