What a sad, sad, sad, sad  joke!

By the logic of Intelligent Design the Internal Revenue Service is godly.

Tax codes are unfathomable, unknowable, and irreduceable.

Bow down and grovel every April 15th.

So, you steal your material from the funny pages?

Typical liberal. If there's no cartoon, they don't get the message.

Is your only tool an ad homenim?


-- Regards, Curly

Ad homenim, or Argumentum ad hominem, is the logical fallicy of making 
an irrelevant attack on the person.

In this case, I'm not saying you're wrong about intelligent design being 
a bogus, I'm arguing that you plagerized a comic strip.

No, you made an erroneous accusation.  That was an ad homenim.  I
plagerized from a private bbs.

http://www.uclick.com/client/wpc/nq/2005/09/27/index.html

It came from a comic strip called "Non Sequitur" by Wiley Miller.

That you plagerized someone else who plagerized only shows that you hang 
around unethical people.

If you had attributed it as someone else's idea, there would be no problem.

It is not a logical fallicy to "attack" someone for plagerizing a comic 
strip if the argument is they plagerized a comic strip.

Yes, it is still an ad homenim.  Your attack has nothing to do with the
thread, it's an attack on the author.  That's an ad homenim.

Clearly, you flunked logic. But then, you wouldn't be a liberal if you 
had passed it.

Add yet another ad homenim.

Using your logic, to point out anything that anyone did wrong would be 
an logical fallicy. That's clearly the conclusion of an idiot. You 
reached that conclusion, ergo you must be an idiot.

Add yet another ad homenim.

I hope this gives you a better idea of what is and what isn't an 
argumentum ad hominem.

Look up the term, then stay on topic and quit distracting.

You're an idiot. See reason above.

Three ad homenims in one posting.  Not a record but still impressive.

Still trying to derailing the topic though...

Curly,

Try to be a little more understanding with Stewart.  He takes the
short bus to school, and has Special Needs.
