  Obama's speech writers used the strawman fallacies yesterday

  seems they liked using that fallacy a lot--.

  president obama has an, at times, well-deserved reputation for delivering his speeches well.

  certainly, the president made an impression today when he delivered his second inaugural address calling for a bolder, more expansive government that would be committed increasingly to the principles of liberalism, with characteristic soaring rhetoric.. unfortunately, another characteristic was also in evidence in obama's speech: namely, his tendency to argue against positions that nobody holds (and by extension, to mischaracterize his opponents' views so as to make them easier to argue against).

  deficits matter ... to the Banks who own this country... Thats where they make alot off money off the interest.. both parties say the want to reduce deficits.. but they wont.. their bosses won't allow it

  think about it .. it's simple math and they have the power to fix it but they don't ... yes it is that simple ..

  One Simple Question

  by magotan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  if we are to serve jehovah because of 'selflessness' and because 'love him' and not because of 'what he does for us', how is the 'promise of the paradise' not selfish?

  the faith hinges on it!.

  this has bothered me for a long, long time..

  yep!!! it's all F'd up now when I look at anything.... in the bible once your eyes are opened you can't shut them ..

  If Jesus paid the price why do we have to believe it.. the debt was settled or it wasn't..

  I wouldn't kill my kid because GOD told me too .. either

  the list goes on and on...

  did the angels have a tree of good and bad senario.. why or why not.. they sinned and lived.. double standard..

  Do you have friends/family still in the organization waiting for a big "cleansing" to occur?

  by Pyramid Scheme in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have had some great conversations with friends and family lately who are still in the organization.. when i explain my feelings and beliefs, and discuss a number of the scandals surrouding the wt, they agree with me 100% - even expressing some things i didn't expect them to say as far as doctrine and teachings.

  in other words, they can see the obvious problems and want them to change.

  all of them little trust in the leadership, and have expressed disgust with several elders in the congregations they attend.

  Republican Party is pretty much done!

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after leaving the jehovah's witnesses, i started getting in to politics.

  i naturally found myself going republican and voted a long those lines.

  however, with my more pagan nature and being pretty much against christianity.

  the biggest fallacy is that they want smaller government... they just don't want a government employee to do a job they know the government should provide... they want it to go to a contractor... their contactor, so they can make a profit off the government..

  examples .. prisons .. the Iraq war ..
