1. Why is the following argument not in standard form?:

All pirates are cruel people

All cruel people are people with cruel parents

So: All pirates are people with cruel parents

All we are is dust in the wind.....

No he isn't.

BKITU: He drank what?

lolz.

Well, he's a soccer player, so I would have to guess beer.

Poor old Socrates Johnson.

I thought he died a long time ago.

BronyMedic: GGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LL L

Offside!

So long, so crates.

Ego edo infantia cattus: BKITU: He drank what?

Well, he's he was a soccer player, so I would have to guess beer.


/oops.

The Greeks killed Socrates!

So - Crates.

25 matches (whatever the hell that is) and 6 goals makes a superstar?

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.

This car is a lemon.
All cars are yellow.

Is its door ajar?

I don't know the ascii keys for the set theory symbols, but yet, that's logically valid:

(A contains B) and (B contains C) => (A contains C)

In this case A (the largest containing set) being "people with cruel parents", B being "cruel people" and A being "Pirates".

Not sure what you mean by "standard form". All you did was write it in the other direction (C is contained in B instead of B contains C).

TKM: 25 matches (whatever the hell that is) and 6 goals makes a superstar?

That was only one season. His career saw 172 goals in 297 games, 60 games for Brazil, two world cup appearances and 22 national team goals, . Doing all that with an MD and a PhD in philosophy makes you a superstar.

(a) Socrates is a man.(b) All men are mortal.(c) All men are Socrates. That means all men are homosexuals. I'm not a homosexual. Once, some Cossacks whistled at me. I happen to have the kind of body that excites both persuasions.

I tweeted that headline this morning, so I'm getting a kick out of these... headlines?

PainInTheASP: jimpoz: Bogus.



/Don't be dead, dude!

"SEW CRATES!"

whizbang: scally1: I'm not a homosexual.

"All Cretans are liars".

Beavis: Hey Butt-head, check this out. Do you like sea food?
Butt-head: Uh, yeah. [Beavis opens his mouth wide] Beavis, that joke only works if you have food in your mouth. Dumbass.
Beavis: Well, use your imagination, dillhole.

RIP SOME CRATES.

/I promise I don't do this often

I just hope there's no soccer players named Aquinas. That thread would give me a headache.

Knight without armor: the syllogism is attributed to Aristotle, not soccertease

Thank you for being the first to point that out.
There are 64 standard ones.
Memorize them and you won't get screwed over by the GOP.
Their argumentative M.O. is to State a falsehood, the WHARGARBLE, then jump to a conclusion.
Quite often, the WARGARBLE is Biblical in origin.

There's a reason we don't teach logic as a requirement in our public schools.
If we did, we wouldn't end up electing crooks and liars to public office.

Quod erat demonstrandum

Sad news, Socrates was cool as fark and excellent footballer.

Outspoken in favour of democracy when Brazil was ruled by a military dictatorship.
Achieved a degree in medicine while still playing football professionally and practised medicine after he retired from the game.
Heavy smoker and drinker and once turned up to a random drugs test after a game with a cigarette in one hand and a bottle of beer in the other.
Was also one of the best footballers ever and popularised the back-heel. That Brazil side of 1982 were one of the best teams ever and should have won the World Cup but were knocked out by Italy.
Named his son Fidel, which his mother remarked was "a bit of a strong name to give a child" - he replied, "Mother, look at what you did to me!"

Socrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieira de Oliveira - lived up to his name. RIP.

Your history teachers must have just LOVED you.

Or still do.

How's high school going?

All men are mammals. What does that say about So-crates?
