Does Body Count Matter?

If I’ve used any terms incorrectly, please point them out. I’d rather admit I was wrong and move forward with correct information, than not be corrected and move forward with incorrect information.

I don’t know what this is supposed to mean. I think you are assuming a lot about me here. I will be seeing my grandma this week, but unfortunately I will be helping her move to assisted living. At this point in my life, I am at the service of my grandma, not the other way around.

Oh, you are an argument expert now, are you.

Emotions would be pathos. But you as the argumentative expert would already know this, so I am sorry to patronize you.

And you are now a psychiatrist, able to determine IQ based on social media posts.

And now you are a psychic, predicting the future and reading others’ minds.

This is pathos.

Again, I am not writing for a peer reviewed journal. There is a thing called the rhetorical triangle - Speaker, Audience, Subject. I am the speaker, you are my audience.

I cater my presentation based on my audience. You are emotional, so I make an emotional appeal - pathos.

It’s really simple shit. Ya’ll thought @Zecarlo was roasting me, lol.

It was no contest.

Did you google Onanism?

It is unfortunate that you mentioned your grandmother immediately thereafter.

Using them correctly does not mean that you have the wisdom to back up the statements.

Again, an unfortunate juxtaposition with onanism.

Unless you are a boomer or silent gen, you fall into one of those.

Did you not read “might”? “Might” falls far from predicting the future or reading their minds.

I reject those labels. I was born in 1948.

Don’t think your special by identifying as a STEM kid. Trust me. My son is a STEM kid, with a 710 verbal.

Be a part of humanity.

Yes, fall back on diction when all else fails.

I am not included in your “You”. I am as far from emotional as any person you have ever had much conversation with.

I don’t understand the rationality of emotional logic, or appeal, except from my wife.

Humans are emotional creatures

Baby boomers are 1946-1964.

You, sir, are a boomer. As am I, born in 1963. We are the shoulder children.

You are emotionally attached to being detached from me, from the Boomer generation.

Life is suffering. All suffering is from attachment.

Welcome to the Four Noble Truths.

Emotional creatures by choice.

You can choose to not be emotional.

Who else?

Bring it on!

IQ is a quantitative number. I stated that Zecarlo was not a dummy. I didn’t give a quantitative range of IQ that he falls within. I don’t know what it is, but if I were to guess, he is at least one standard deviation to the right of the mean. And he will probably feel insulted by that.

Well, I am going to STFU now, incoming.

He thinks he is three deviations to the right, and that is his problem.

If entertained is emotionally attached, then I am. You are pure fun. The logic holes in your argument are huge enough to drive a semi through them.

Bring your semi then.

That isn’t a word I have posted. In addition, you were the one who implied that I am a dweller in my grandma’s basement playing video games. Which I took as a cheap shot, because you don’t know much about me.

So I used them correctly, but I now don’t have the wisdom to use them? That is a shift. I’ll leave you be.
