That's fine, Sheesh.  By the way, I didn't actually expect you to acknowledge that your post was out of line.  Instead, you want to play the "let's see what happens next" game.

I hope I've made myself clear though.  The rules about acceptable behavior are the same for the Politics forum as the rest of the Collector Zone.

but bin laden feels that he must extinguish or commit a sort of genocide in name o his faith. does bush kill directly or is the loss of life a consequence of something that bush thought was nesscary?

the bush administration didnt lie. the un and other the us ijntelligence was mistaken. they made a mistake. well i dont think they did because they found bunkers with traces of chemical residue on the ground(but the media wont tell you that) and all the gases they had. and what about the benifits of freeing a nation under a dictator?

Surely you must be kidding. There are 100s of quotes of Islamic Radicals that rival preschoolers' sayings. and you called Bin Laden a terrorist. do you think Bin Laden calls himself a terrorist. do you think Bin Laden wants to kill people or is it because he feels he has to for the faith?

your right ....illegal thats why everyonbe agreed that we should go into iraq including clinton and kerry....only because they were systematically lied to by the Bush Administration

Description of Ad Hominem

Translated from Latin to English, "Ad Hominem" means "against the man" or "against the person."

An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of "argument" has the following form:

  1. Person A makes claim X.
  2. Person B makes an attack on person A.
  3. Therefore A's claim is false.

The reason why an Ad Hominem (of any kind) is a fallacy is that the character, circumstances, or actions of a person do not (in most cases) have a bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim being made (or the quality of the argument being made).

Description of Ad Hominem Tu Quoque

This fallacy is committed when it is concluded that a person's claim is false because 1) it is inconsistent with something else a person has said or 2) what a person says is inconsistent with her actions. This type of "argument" has the following form:

  1. Person A makes claim X.
  2. Person B asserts that A's actions or past claims are inconsistent with the truth of claim X.
  3. Therefore X is false.

The fact that a person makes inconsistent claims does not make any particular claim he makes false (although of any pair of inconsistent claims only one can be true - but both can be false). Also, the fact that a person's claims are not consistent with his actions might indicate that the person is a hypocrite but this does not prove his claims are false.

Welcome to the NFL. Hopefully gaining 80 yards on 25 carries against a decent defense will show everyone how overrated you really are. Good luck staying healthy, and keep up the good work, though I doubt you can.

i bet you feel really dumb right about now
