Jason said that that was all cool and everything, but his grandfather smoked, like, 30 cigarettes a day and lived until 97 – so don’t believe everything you read about meta analyses of sound studies showing proven causal relationships.

Not wanting to be some sort of pedant…. But its not an ‘infographic’ is it

Wanting to be some sort of pedant;

Try: But it’s not an ‘infographic’, is it!

Nice try though, well done you.

Yeah will it shut ’em up though?

Shut who up?

if you want to read more on illogical thought, then try

Bad Thoughts: A Guide to Clear Thinking by Jamie Whyte

a very enjoyable read.

Dunno why you’re picking on Em, she seems nice.

Like the poster. There’s a few different sizes on the originating website. http://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/poster

This is the best book on logical fallacies for the uninitiated.

Oh dear, looks as though I forgot one of these 😉

Ooh some good tips there. Bookmarked.

Can I ask a bimbo question?

Who exactly are the Big Hitters?

and who are the ‘wannabees’?

It’s late, cocoa nearly finished. 😉

“How to win every argument”. Jebus, that’d be a nightmare. There are some very, very strange people in the world who have to always be right.

Someone who will argue you into the ground whether they are right ir not. Try saying you like Thatcher and someone will grind you down with northern bitterness.

“How to win every argument”. Jebus, that’d be a nightmare. There are some very, very strange people in the world who have to always be right.

It’s meant to be toungue in cheek, but imagine a worse nightmare where people believe a load of bollocks because they can’t/wont use rational thought. There are some very, very strange people in the world who have closed minds that no amount of reason will open.

Puts me in mind of a quote by Louis XIV

Only small minds want always to be right

Can I recommend this?

It’s excellent.

Hello 😀

I can do Southern bitterness about Thatcher on request

Ive got that wheen book sitting on my desk now, Rusty. I read it about a year ago.
Have to say I thought it wasnt that good. But each to their own.

Was it the writing or FW himself that left you cold?

PJ O’Rourke makes me froth at the mouth with righteous left wing indignation, but I still laugh like a drain when reading him.
Same with Bron Waugh, tbh.

That FW book is v good. Ok it was essentially an anti Blair hit piece, but Blair was the master of bollocks. Should have been ejected at the earliest opportunity.

Message to the “Document of this or any other, year” committee…

Brilliant.

The “Burden of Proof” item is one which some on here need to repeat until understood, for example in the frequent big hittings about “god”.

Whom I shall henceforth be referring to as “Fred”…

Fred God.Ive met him.Doesnt Know his arse from his aardvark.
