Do you take this Logic, to be your lawful, wedded......

[fr0g]

But surely something cannot be both logical and illogical - that's not logical...

Of course it can. It depends where you are coming from. Or rather there can be logical reasons for and against.

But that isn't the point. Even if your logic for doing something is flawed or outweighed by the greater logic of not doing it, it's still a logical decision.

But on the alcohol topic...A small amount of alcohol daily can reduce your chance of heart failure...

A large amount of alcohol can make you feel great.

Both logical reasons for drinking alcohol forgetting...

alcohol is a poison and destroys lives and quickly turns your money into urine.

Personally, I drink alcohol though for reason 2.

Ah but syllogism is another thing altogether.

Over 100 posts on this one, and I'm amazed that no-one has highlighted the difference between active logic and passive logic !!! :? :?

I did- it's just called conscious and subconscious logic.-

also now red = digital and blue = analogue ( or vice versa)

It's one of the most fundamental thought processes, we use logic all the time in our daily lives,

Nonsense, most people don't use it at all! Almost nothing the average human does is based on logic, you've only got to look front page of the Daily Wail or the Di-aly Express to realise that. The logic that most people employ in their daily lives goes along the lines of: "Some Muslims are suicide bombers, therefore all Muslims are suicide bombers, let's send them home, no I don't care if they were born here, send them back anyway.".

Logic? Logic my arse, most humans couldn't even spell the word.

You're looking at it at the wrong level.

Everybody uses logic, all the time. Yes, the example you used is an example of bad logic...but.

Do you get up in the morning and go to the loo before pulling your pants down?

Do you brush your teeth with a fork?

Do you crack open a can of Special brew just before you get in the car?

Do you eat nothing but bacon because it's the nicest food?

Do you [EDITED BY MODS] at work at your desk because it feels good?

Everything you do requires a great deal of logic. (Logic you don't even have to think about.)

And then on a slightly higher level when you are at the supermarket, do you not go for the bigger packet because the per kg price is cheaper?

Do you not wait until a sale to buy certain goods?

Do you not hunt around the internet for the best price, rather than simply buying something at the first site you see it?

Do you not water the plants before you go on holiday?

Do you not open the windows when it's warm?

(Logic that requires a little thought.)

I think you're confusing comforts and habits with logic. You don't really think about brushing your teeth in the morning do you? You just do it. And anyway which man bothers to water the plants before going on holiday??? That's the wife's or gf's job.

It's called freedom of speech.[You of all people should know that, the lhc] Unfortunately we see it eroded in this country day by day ! :rant: :read:

 

[BenLaw]

What's called freedom of speech??

 

[John Duncan]

Dunno, but I suspect I'm not gonna like it...

 

[professorhat]

If it is what I think it might be, I think it's actually not freedom of speech...

 

[alchemist 1]

The logic used in the poor example. You might not agree with the logic in the papers, but they are entitled to voice their opinion.
