(7:04:04 PM) Matt: any idea on whether summers essay is due tomorrow or not(7:04:20 PM) Jay: no idea, but i did it anway(7:06:45 PM) Matt: so she didnt give you a definite due date?(7:07:36 PM) Jay: not that i remember but usually i don't pick up on it if she does(7:07:42 PM) Matt: gah(7:08:21 PM) Jay: if you do it now you won't have to do it later(7:09:05 PM) Matt: not in the mood to work, especially on redoing something i did right the first time but am having to redo because she wanted her in some dumbass format that makes no sense(7:09:34 PM) Matt: hers*(7:09:46 PM) Jay: her format makes perfect sense(7:10:09 PM) Matt: over half the essay is talking about the OTHER side and saying why its basically right(7:10:19 PM) Matt: then at the end you say but my way is better(7:10:29 PM) Jay: no it's not. read the ruddy handout(7:10:36 PM) Matt: wow, ruddy?(7:10:39 PM) Matt: and yes, i did(7:11:01 PM) Matt: but if you had my topic, it makes no sense because there is no logical way to say its right(7:11:18 PM) Jay: then it isn't an argument(7:11:53 PM) Matt: your saying there is no argument about whether video games cause violence?(7:12:16 PM) Matt: unless you have been under a rock for the last 20-30 years or so, you know theres an argument(7:12:30 PM) Matt: theres just no logical way to say that one side is right but my way is better(7:12:38 PM) Matt: because theres no evidence for the other side(7:13:06 PM) Jay: well you just said that there is no way to say it is right. there has to be two sides. and stop whining. i don't wanna hear it :-P(7:13:56 PM) Matt: -.- there can be two sides to an argument without one side having any logical explanation for their view, i do it all the time with you when we argue about physics :P(7:14:17 PM) Jay: lol. i guess(7:14:25 PM) Jay: yeah. definitely. lol(7:15:01 PM) Matt: but i tried explaining that they blame video games because they are trying to absolve themselves of responsibility(7:15:09 PM) Matt: and she said i was attacking them instead of arguing(7:15:22 PM) Jay: hmm. possibly(7:15:29 PM) Matt: so apparently my only argument for why they are wrong, is a logical fallacy(7:16:00 PM) Matt: which makes the whole situation a logical fallacy, since calling out a logical fallacy is a logical fallacy, but to not call something a logical fallacy is a logical fallacy(7:16:09 PM) Matt: O.o(7:16:18 PM) Jay: gah. stop making me think. i did my essay now do yours :-P(7:16:25 PM) Matt: lol(7:16:29 PM) Matt: got it coach
