More illogic and fallacys from The Demon.  . This is too funny. You're not doing much to help the American sterotype that you are all dumb and ignorant. |
Holy shit, you had wikipedia do the thinking for you? First of all, the proper term is "to the man", but you love using a user edited research website, which proves your stupidity. Furthermore, we weren't debating ANYTHING, so there's no logical fallacy here. You have to create sound premises and a conclusion to consider the shit you type as an "argument". I was just calling you stupid which is fact. After reading your stupidity it is blatantly clear that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, and your best efforts to sound intelligent have failed miserably, as you have in life. Don't be jealous that Americans own you in every facet of life.
