    Default Re: The Godfather, Part 3 (IN PLAY)

    If someone votes for me, then he is guilty
    Someone voted for me
    ----------------------------------------
    He/she is guilty

    This isn't logic... or i guess it could be called somewhat twisted logic

    more logical would be....

    I am innocent
    X voted for me
    X voted for an innocent so is more likely to be guilty

    Saying X is guilty because he voted you is no kind of logic at all...

    Still excited!

    LittleGrizzly, formalize the argument to this

    p -> q
    p
    therefore q

    Again, logic is concerned with forms, put anything you want in p and q, and it's logical.

    Askthepizzaguy, you blatantly misrepresented my post saying I used logic to argue against logic when I went ahead and assumed logic was good for the time being (and if someone really wanted to use logic to criticize logic, it would be ok, as he is demonstrating an argument to someone who presupposes the use of logic - his own argument against logic could be logic sucks). Why don't you try and read the post, and try responding to the charges against your own contradictions of your cases?

    I am pointing out the flaws with using buzzwords like "logic" and "evidence" to prop up a weak case.

    I keep asking myself why I continue, and then I remember, let's pass Capo I!
