So we argue about random topics. And we select the winner based on best argument with the least logic. May the best straw man win!
we shouldn’t argue about random topics, being random involves the sitrah of amalek who champions luck and i want to keep far away from amalek, we should stick to a set of topics while doing it illogically
i won!
Give me one reason why I shouldn’t?
Six years ago, there was a thread regarding whether or not it was necessary to finish high school in order to secure a decent living. At one point, I brought in statistics from the BLS showing that, on average, the higher a person’s level of education, the more they earn.
One poster’s response: “i hold that statistics dont affect us yidden.”

rebyidd,
if youre colorblind they are
sushi,
shouldnt what?
nuh-uh
My favorite illogical argument:
Extrapolation from the observed to the unobserved is a valid method to draw conclusions about the way the world works because we have used this method successfully in the past.
Correlation equals Causation
Everyone knows that elephants are purple.
Purple is a color, and so is pineapple.
I like bananas.

-Maskana
i agree with maskana (i don’t know what the argument is/was but he/she brings up valid points)
of course. You see, when a coffee addict agrees with you, you know you’re right.
It reminds me of the time I thought that a green bellybutton signified that nuclear war was coming soon. Although the the sky was still a desk, the Cuban on the porch didn’t think so.
is it an argument or a contest? you cant have an argument thats a contest because it can only be one or the other. obviously, if its an argument then it isnt a contest so it for sure can’t be a contest if its an argument.
nuh-uh
and both I and maskana won times infinity and 1
Here’s an argument:
We see from the ma’apalim how wrong it is to try and rush the ge’ulah. They tried to enter Eretz Yisroel when they weren’t supposed to. Their fate? They lost Hashem’s help in war. They were destined to lose. It doesn’t matter how strong they are or how weak their enemies are. The fate of those who rush the ge’ulah is the loss of Hashems protection and help, which will inevitably lead to military defeat.
We see from the victories of the 1948 War of Independence, the 1967 Six Day War, etc… that G-d did not leave the Zionists and that they weren’t rushing the geulah. Had they been rushing the geulah, they would have met the same fate as the ma’apilim, loss of Hashem’s protection and military defeat.
This proves that we are not rushing the geulah and that Hashem wants us back in control of Eretz Yisroel.
simcha,
i do think that Hashem wants us in control of eretz yisrael
and i don’t think that the zionists were thinking they were trying to get the geulah
in otherr words “rushing the geulah” is proactive
thats right rebyidd
proactive is (of a person, policy, or action) creating or controlling a situation by causing something to happen rather than responding to it after it has happened
ahh the joy of edit, my argument isn’t worthless 😛
So far, simcha613 wins, hands down.
(grumbling) biased judges
objection!
the rules state
And we select the winner based on best argument with the least logic.
simcha613 is too logical
CA, you’re getting there.
rebyidd,
sneakers are a form of shoes and he is being sneaky
dy,
getting where?
tomatoes are red. and robins are red so tomatoes are secretly birds
I am never wrong. I don’t agree with any of you. Therefore all of you are wrong.
actually mobico, assuming your premise is true, that makes sense
I walk on watermelons
watermelons are 92 Percent water
I can walk on water!
True. I think I’m right – therefore I am.
rebyidd,
thats only true if you type all in caps on a wednesday, you did it on a friday.
additionally, since your screen name starts with a r and ends with a d you can only be right on one day in a year and that is february 29th
Theory of relativity:
This thread ought to be titled logical argument contest since in relation to most of the other arguments on CR these seem logical.
that means I stand for what I believe in but I still keep an open mind.
that doesnt make one right, since you made a false deduction you are wrong during the whole thread
The only person who has made sense so far is sushibagel 😉
does that mean that sushibagel loses?
ca – LOL
sushibagel loses cause hes a double carb
since you didnt specify which type of cabbage (napa, green, red….) that makes me 100% right being that only napa cabbage is wrong, red cabbages are always right
and i’m like a red cabbage always right
rebyidd, I believe you may have found your match (something I didn’t think possible until now!)
rebyidd – who was that addressed to?
