The embedded YouTube vid in the first article is great, check out James starting at :50 in. Classic.
It makes me irrationally angry that Lebron James flops as badly as he does. He’s maybe the best player in the league, he doesn’t need that advantage. Why can’t he just play straight up?
I don’t think Pitt is going to do us any favors. They can’t seem to break through and take the lead.
First, when you had your hissy fit of posting the definition of ‘logical fallacy’ over and over, it was completely pointless. I’m not saying you’re using the term incorrectly, I’m saying you’re applying it incorrectly, and ironically in creating a rhetorical logical fallacy of your own. That fallacy I listed for you originally was correctly identified because you were trying to discredit my claim by saying:
We have to go no further than basic logic to dismiss your reasoning.
i.e. My claim is ridiculous because ‘basic logic’ refutes it. In reality, nothing of the sort is true.
The second fallacy you used was begging the question because your conclusion is completely dependent on your initial assertion. I’m wrong because you say I’m wrong, and you say I’m wrong because I’m wrong.
But WTF is this, and what does it have to do with anything?
Here’s what it has to do with. You were trying to dismiss my point by using your own actual, real, identifiable logical fallacies. I thought it would be interesting and educational to point out the hypocrisy of you using logical fallacies to attack my position as a logical fallacy.
I’m watching AZ vs Oregon at the moment. That court makes my brain hurt.
This is my first opportunity to see Arizona this year. I’m interested to see what Sean Miller is doing with them.
So, yes, you did, or confused (either unintentionally, or not) me with Mike.
I was sincerely interested to know if Mike really thought God would protect us from global warming, or if he was being facetious. I personally think the evidence is in Genesis that God would NOT save us from destroying the earth, but I left that part out because I wasn’t sure if he was serious.
Then you had to come along and goad me, as usual, at which point you equated climate science to faith, when neither are related. Let me quote you again doing this, because you’re going to deny it.
Anthropomorphic global warming is the wacky faith based religion of the left, so I guess a Jesus reference isn’t completely out of place.
I’m still not clear why you’re allowed to respond to me with disdain, and when I respond to you, I’m the asshole.
I really would love some clarification on that point.Do you guys have email addresses, I have a couple of questions.
*taptap* Is this thing on?
PS: Sincerely, nice work expressing your opinion clearly for once in above post. I disagree on some points, and if you’d like to start a thread on it, I’d be more than happy to discuss it with you. Hell, I’ll give you my email address, maybe that way I won’t have to deal with the rah-rah cheerleading squad.
Until then just bring the lube b/c you don’t have to drop the soap when you’re State. It’s coming regardless.
I understand the sentiment, but I’ve gotten really tired of the negative nelly, woe is me attitude NC State fans have adopted.
I firmly believe that “NC State sh*t” is self perpetuating.
Bill, it looks like there’s a word filter in place, double check that that’s not why your posts are getting 86’d.
Hey..,I don’t have keys to the car.
Do you have a screwdriver and a ‘can do’ attitude?
Actually, I bet it would be possible to put reflective patches for different wavelengths of infrared at different points on the uniform, then use cameras surrounding the action to determine the direction, speed, etc. of movement. Then extrapolate from that if contact occurred. You could also use it to detect moving screens and other such violations.
That might require sleeves and at least headbands though.
Then put the accelerometer in the ball, and use that to determine carrying, double dribbles, last touch, etc.
I for one cannot wait for the day when basketball is reffed by robots
It’ll be sensors with 3D accelerometers and force measurement.
I can’t imagine the outrage.
thanks…Wolf82… check again… I reposted with same results…<br>
or email me… or both…fwiw.. this one is only nine lines…
Simple solution, just post in nine line increments 😉
I seem to be encountering a bug posting also. Maybe there’s something in the server logs to indicate what went wrong.
State up by 13 at the under-8 TO, but Gatling has been taken to the locker room with a knee injury after scoring career-high 28 pts (if I heard correctly).
Ugh this is why we can’t have nice things. Which one of you guys pissed off an old gypsy lady?
Nevertheless… let’s run Dr. Debbie for Commissioner up the flagpole and see if anybody else salutes…
That raises the question, who would be the AD?
More to point of the “next commissioner”…
No commissioner has been elected to date that did not have strong ties to the old Block of Five…Has there been a commissioner with strong ties to NC State?
If we could just get someone from outside of the conference, that would be great. That would help put to bed the bias argument.
No problem. Understood. As you saw, I called myself out in the post, and expected such. I even sent you all an email to give you a heads up. Even though names can at times be well earned, I understand (and agree with) the proper place, time, and forum thing.
But in my defense (an explanation, not an excuse) I do believe in a ‘special place’ for those who purposely use religion to inflame and troll. That is what ‘set me off’. And even in that, he couldn’t get it right. He had me confused with someone else.
That’s right, I just made it all up.
Anthropomorphic global warming is the wacky faith based religion of the left, so I guess a Jesus reference isn’t completely out of place.
That some of you support the EPA regulating CO2 as a toxin is about on par with thinking Jesus will save us from global warming.
Oh no wait not I didn’t.
And yet, despite all of your claims to the contrary, you have’t addressed why I’m wrong in any substantive way. Saying you’re correct in calling my view a logical fallacy because it’s a logical fallacy is circular reasoning.
Actually, that new fallacy you’re using is called “Begging the question”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_questionI know you’re have absolute certainty of your correctness and my complete inability to understand your greatness. I’ve asked you try to explain your ‘logic’ in simple steps so that my tiny caveman brain can comprehend what you’re talking about. Instead, I got a spittle flecked rant with circular reasoning.
Why do you even bother responding if you won’t say anything that moves the conversation along? What purpose does it serve for you to come along and troll my posts other than to stroke your own sense of smug superiority? Why do you then completely freak out when I dare question your vast intellect?
Why? We have to go no further than basic logic to dismiss your reasoning. Basic logic tells us that outliers do not belie a trend and an end result does not disprove the existence of efforts against it.
You’re using a logical fallacy to reach a conclusion, at least in that post.
Would you mind detailing the ‘logic’ you used to reach that conclusion?
Would it be the same ‘logic’ you used to conclude that the bible == science?
Also, would you mind listing my ‘logical fallacy’?
Here’s a website you can use to pick one.

Although, you might have an argument if you assume that Swofford thinks his job is to protect the blues. In that case, he would be terrible at his job
By the way, here’s the logical fallacy you used.
