i think it's shocking there are people that will disagree with this

Attacking the person is ad hominem.

An argument is valid or invalid on the basis of the argument, not on the presenter.

ART:
>Ad hominem.

ART is even pretending to be so stupid that he thinks rows comments were actually a point of argument rather than a simple comment to surrounding participants.

At best it could be called "poisening the well".

Study your fallacies (Oh, I forgot...he's just pretending)

Sometimes you're hilariously stupid. You see, I've given up trying to instill logic in your mind because there is no reasoning with you. I find calling you stupid in various ways is more effective and enjoyable.

But I do thank you ART, for being my punching bag. You're somewhat of a naive old dear to me now.

yea, ART definitely makes for a good punching bag.

There were plenty of valid points in there and you just choose ti ignore them.

Let's start with the "Parents know that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are imaginary to begin with." statement of yours.

Since they as children also believed in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, please support your claim that they new "to begin with"

It has already been established that you either just pretend to be dumb or don't have the intellect to differentiate between valid points and insults (in another example, ignorance is not necessarily an "insult" and is often just a fact).

No go away or I shall taunt you a second time.

JB

You hide behind ignorance for anyone who doesn't beleive in your views....The best part is that i can lead you around like a mule with a carrot......DO you really think you can taunt me? interesting......ok the game is on. Don't say i didn't warn you.

 

[rowenwood]

I imagine ART actually looks like that punching bag.

 

[rowenwood]

I'd be careful if I were you, you're nearly as stupid as ART!

The parents knew on the basis of their belief systems the Easter bunny and Santa Claus were imaginary when they used these idea with their children.

An actor knows he is acting, but does so for the pleasure and amusement of the audience.

He need not believe he is the part he is playing in order to be effective.

Parents "act" as if they believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny to please their children and themselves.

No reasonable person would confuse belief in the tooth faith, the Easter Bunny, or Santa Claus as a religious belief system....though they may "act" the part of believing for the sake of their children religiously.

LMAO!!!! ......you don't still have a smith corona at home do you???
