Well, I suppose if I wanted to, I could review all 13 pages and find some examples of circular reasoning and some examples of indicators of mental illness/psychological isues.
But where is the fun in that?
Circular reasoning - Wikipedia
Circular reasoning (Latin: circulus in probando, "circle in proving";[1] also known as circular logic) is a logical fallacy in which the reasoner begins with what they are trying to end with.[2] The components of a circular argument are often logically valid because if the premises are true, the conclusion must be true. Circular reasoning is not a formal logical fallacy but a pragmatic defect in an argument whereby the premises are just as much in need of proof or evidence as the conclusion, and as a consequence the argument fails to persuade.
Yeah have fun with your back peddling..
Why are you being so short with me??
I have to say the quality of discussions have really gone down hill here lately..
You ask someone to back up their claims against you, then they become all angry and just insult you.
Just remember that you're acting this way because you were called out to explain yourself and you have nothing to say therefore you just go for cheap insults.
If you want to go down that road fine, lol.
I fell asleep last night around my last message. It would seem that I missed something...
Pretty much read the last page. It's an attack on us, when I asked to back up such claims I just get insulted for my height.
Why are you being so short with me??
are you talking about:
Yeah. What else would it be? Lol.
It's not a deep insult, although it's frustrating that's the response I get when I question someone's already negative assessment of my posts in this thread and they cannot back up their claims and decided to go for a cheap insult instead.
you sure he didn't mean that as in, why are you being so snippy or curt? because that is an expression that means snippy or curt.
Well that's why I asked. Because the last page was a little short on contextYou're semi-new here aren't you? So maybe you don't see it, but it's a clear jab at my height or at least my insecurity about it.

that's ok. He just proved our point. She only deals with the psychiatric populations who commit circular reasoning... And their stressed out family members...You don't see what is happening on post 254? He's comparing us to psychiatric patients and those who commit circular reasoning. Which makes me laugh..

Lol.. this commit saved this thread.. somewhat.. lol.
My brother is getting married to a significantly younger woman and I wonder just how badly they are going to get judged for it. He is 41 and she is 25.
I'd post their picture for clarification of how far apart in age they appear, but he is a detective and works drug cases undercover occasionally. No pictures, LOL. My brother has been bald since he was 21 and now has a shaved head with a full beard with lots of gray. I'm 7 years older than him and people think I'm the younger brother...
A little background... He lives 15 miles from me. As many of you know, I am a constant complainer regarding the lack of single women in my age group around here (sorry about that).
When I lived in AZ and my brother lived up here, he would complain about not being able to find a girlfriend. I blew his concerns off since he was 34 at the time, a big handsome cop with a nice house, and in shape with a great personality. How could HE not meet anyone??
Then I moved here after my divorce and realized that the struggle is real...
Then, about a year ago, he told me there was this girl working in the prosecutor's office that was flirting with him and sending him Facebook requests. He said she looks young, but guessed she was in her late 20's.
They went out a couple of times and really fell for each other. Then he found out she was only 24. She was 5 months younger than my son's girlfriend.
But they got along great and a year later, she is pregnant and the wedding date is set.
Sadly, neither of them are Christians. My brother calls himself a Christian, but hasn't gone to church with me in a couple of years. This is his second marriage. First woman was bi-polar and ran off to become a prostitute. She was the daughter of the local sheriff. Long story...
So, with a 16yr age difference, How harshly do you think they are going to be judged? Do you think it will make the marriage more difficult?
I'm pretty sure they don't care what people think. Both families are completely behind the relationship and her family is a salt-of-the earth Christian blue-collar family. Great people.
I personally think they'll be OK, despite the much less than optimal situation...
That's a very strong word there. What they are doing is perfectly legal. and though it seems... inappropriate, the girl is 18+ years old, she is a mature consenting adult. It is not borderline pedophilia. at best, it is borderline ephebophilia. interest in girl 15-19 years old. But even then... if he is 60 and she is 30... It is not the age gap that makes it wrong. It is maturity.borderline pedophile
to me when men do that it disturbs me. Especially because of the double standard, older women dating young men isn't looked on quiet as nice but men do whatever they want. And that young girl she deserves a a young man her own age, it's a disjustice to young women for an old man to date them. Im real spiteful about it so probably don't want my thoughts on this one lol.
