    Default Ad Muminem(s) and other (il)logical fa(i)llacies (?) (where am I)

    Ad Muminem, where you attack someone's mum instead of answering the question/argument. Here is an example:

    Err, I mean, your mom is religious! Yeah. Go me. I insulted your mother. Now cower in fear before I say she wears combat boots or something lame like that.

    Hmmm, I agree. Although mathematics is becoming more abstract the further we progress own own development, it is still used to support nearly every science, from Physics to chemistry. Philosophy is not a science, however people would like to think so.

    So they shouldn't complain.

    Your mom shouldn't complain.

    Generally speaking society is or was ruled by men which means it is or was, a patriarchy. That's pretty much accepted and known. So let's say that women gaining the right to vote, become church leaders and other such examples show signs of society's growth from patriarchy. So now there is thought to be some ground of equality between the two groups(male and female). Therefore mothers (not just fathers) can be mathematics--teachers that is.

    it took me three tries to get their attention so I was all "it's late and I'm tired and you guys need to stop"

    dude was like "tell yo momma to stop"

    Argumentum ad Peegee

    When you write so much crap into a single post that nobody can possibly read it all and respond coherently. So you win by virtue of being the last person to post.

    Ad Homonem: angrily declaring the opponent to be homosexual, in the mistaken belief that this is somehow (a) insulting and (b) material to whether or not you win the debate.

    I don't know whether D or Manus just won harder, but both deserve medals.
