If you learn something faulty, you haven't learned anything at all. Worse, you're under the impression that you HAVE learned something, and tend to spread your misinformation around. Not to mention when you learn something faulty, you're less likely to correct your ignorance, since you're unaware you are ignorant.
So yeah, basically, learning nothing > "learning" something that isn't true.
|
lol, idiot. You can not know wether information is correct or incorrect before you learn the actual information. Therefore, learning anything > learning nothing. Following your theory, you advise to never learn anything, now that isn't ignorant at all...
Oh and, theory is correct when deduction and induction are used correctly untill someone proves it is not. That's how it works.

You're mixing up your analogies, ZIMMER. You're comparing strong observations like "Every fire ever observed hurts people" to weak ones like "I saw this girl this one time on Counter-Strike and she was a real attention whore". If the threshold for truth was so low, then all I would have to do is say "JohnDoe is a real faggot. He's also German, according to the little flag next to his name. All Germans must be faggots". In fact, I'd have extra support for my claim since I could also point to Madrackz. Regardless, that wouldn't make my claim any more true. I'm sure there is a German out there who isn't a huge throbbing faggot.
|
And you've got it in your head that I'm basing my claims upon one example. I am not. I'm basing them upon NUMEROUS examples, personal experience, the experience of others, various facts (women tend to want the attention more than men, on average... atleast in most first world countries), and etc. Not upon one specific example.
Also, if you had a good lot of personal experience with Germans, a good lot of people you've talked to agree with you and have their own personal experience, and you're claiming a specific group of Germans (the ones you have the most experience with; I'll just say gamers here), yes, you very well could say that the majority of German gamers are asshats. I wouldn't necessarily believe you, sure, but if you and multiple people agreed, I'd believe that you have good reason to not want to game with Germans.
This all of course being an example following yours, not actually saying anything here (so no offense to our German friends here at renforums).

That theory would be academically correct. Premises are correct, so the outcome is too. You are sure there are Germans that are not faggots, but you do not KNOW.
Well, not entirely true because the example is retarded. Weither or not someone is a faggot is not a fact. Therefore can never be a premise.

I meant that as an example of why inductive reasoning doesn't work. Of course not all Germans (On renforums or otherwise) are asshats, but that doesn't mean that the asshats aren't here, and that just proves my point that induction is shit. If I tried to make such a point, all you would have to do is point to a German Renforum member who isn't a faggot. If you tried to say all female gamers are attention whores, all I have to do is find one who isn't (For example, Crimson, who is both female and a gamer but pretty lax on the attention whoring. If anything, she's quite the opposite and keeps a pretty low profile considering her high standing in the community). Understand?

No. It isn't academically correct. The premise goes from the specific to the general, and ignores the possibility of any kind exception (In fact, it ignores the possibility that the observation may be the exception, and the greater majority wouldn't follow the "rule").

You're wrong. It's not "and". It's just deductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning alone can't prove anything. Deductive reasoning alone can. By adding induction, you haven't added anything to your evidence. Deduction is still doing all the logical heavy lifting.

Sigh, how many times do I have to say it- I did not say "all", nor do I think Oblivion is implying all of them are not worth it. But the MAJORITY (51% or more when it comes to two options, majority does not mean 99% lol) of female gamers, through my personal experience and the experience of others aswell as numerous facts, are most likely attention whores. I cannot say the exact number because I haven't met every single person- instead, I'm using logic (and a couple facts) to make a generalization.
And yes, if the majority follow a pattern that a person dislikes, it is grounds for disqualification. If you dealt drugs in your life, then most companies won't accept you. That's just how it works. I could go into a further debate as to why it works how it works and that it's not as bad as people make it out to be, but I'd be re-using a good lot of my arguments that I've already laid out.

I know you meant it as an example, and I used that example to still say if you were to apply it correctly, it could stand as a fairly strong reasoning to not want to game with Germans. I wouldn't bother with having to prove you wrong (assuming you WERE wrong) if you have personal experience, the claims of others, and a couple facts to strengthen your reason. It'd only be if you were trying to get Germans banned that I'd then bother with proving you wrong. But if you simply did not want to game with them, that's a different ball park.
Also no, that's not how it works, dumbass. That's like saying the whole theory of evolution is wrong because one Christian said it was wrong. Infact, that's one of the most fucking retarded things I've ever read on here.
I don't get why you're incapable of understanding that some people just don't want to fucking play with female gamers sometimes. People have preferences, and people have things they specifically do not want. I don't like boring games, therefore I won't play them. I don't like playing in social games with people who can't speak English, therefore I won't bother playing with them (usually, anyways).
I think you've been so goddamn hypnotized by America's recent mentality of "YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT EVERYONE AND LOVE EVERYONE LOL" that you honestly believe people shouldn't have the right to have their own goddamn opinions based on their personal experiences to justify not wanting to do certain things with people.

You're missing the point. If I believed that, I WOULD be wrong, and my right to hold those beliefs and be wrong wouldn't make me any less wrong. That example isn't strong reasoning, it's very weak reasoning, first and foremost because the conclusion it reaches is wrong, and it would take very little effort to prove that it's wrong.

No. It's more like saying creationism is wrong because the theory of evolution lays out a logical and well-thought alternative that better explains how life came to be. One side has logic and reasoning on it's side, and the other doesn't.

Then we agree. I can say "Some Germans (Although it would be best to say WHICH Germans) are idiots", but I can't say "All Germans are idiots". If you apply this to the female gamer debate, if it isn't all female gamers that are attention whores, why are all female gamers being autobant from being Oblivion's gaming buddy?

Because for one, I said "most", not "some". "Some" implies 1%-99%. Most implies 51%-99%. That being said, since it's MOST, he most likely does not want to put up with wading through which ones are actually cool and fun, and the ones that are still attention whores. Honestly, have you ever even tried to have a social life? Not trying to insult, but fuck, surely you've come across a good lot of annoying people that have been more effort to keep as friends rather than being any real fun. Really, when it comes to the thought process of "well you should accept everyone" in terms of friendship, you're setting yourself up for disaster and extreme annoyance.

I'm talking about "Most ____ are ___". Not some, not all, but most. Again, most implies 51%-99%, generally speaking (depends how many opposing factors but yeah). Most being a MAJORITY. And when it comes to the majority of a group being something you do not want, it's understandable to not want to have to put up with it to find one that ISN'T as bad compared to the alternative (which is to say, a male gaming buddy which are much less of attention whores). That's just how shit works, sorry.

The one guy on renforums nothing more than an acting vessel of logic. You must be wrong if logic says you're wrong.
|
Logic is essentially a pattern, no? Therefore, it's your logic vs my logic. Going just by those two is not enough. I, however, have my own personal experience, and etc etc going for me. What the fuck do you have going for you other than just saying I'm wrong?

Because for one, I said "most", not "some". "Some" implies 1%-99%. Most implies 51%-99%. That being said, since it's MOST, he most likely does not want to put up with wading through which ones are actually cool and fun, and the ones that are still attention whores. Honestly, have you ever even tried to have a social life? Not trying to insult, but fuck, surely you've come across a good lot of annoying people that have been more effort to keep as friends rather than being any real fun. Really, when it comes to the thought process of "well you should accept everyone" in terms of friendship, you're setting yourself up for disaster and extreme annoyance.
|
I'm not saying "You should accept everyone." What I'm saying is "Everyone deserves a chance." Yeah, I have known some annoying-as-fuck people whom I regretted having as a friend, but in order to reach that conclusion I had to actually know the person on some kind of level. Then it becomes less a matter of "Germans are assholes" or "Female gamers are attention whores", and more a matter of "This guy is a asshole" or "This chick is an attention whore", which are both perfectly reasonable conclusions to reach, once you know the person, not before. I think that answers your question, George. I do have a social life, and part of that social life is, at times, something akin to trial and error. I don't know if a person is going to be a dicktree or not before I get to know them, so what excuse do I have not to get to know them? Similarly, I don't know if a given female gamer is going to be an attention whore or not, so why not find out?
As for the some vs most, see below.

I'll choose to ignore where you'll pulling the 51+% number from, because that won't get us anywhere.
So you're acknowledging that, in absence of any hard number that either of us can (Or at least, are willing to) produce, up to 49.99999etc% of female gamers could be perfectly reasonable people? Why would that be a bar to the group as a whole? You know as well as I do that gamers as a whole (Male or female) are far more than 50% assholes, and if there's any doubting that, play at least one game of DotA or HoN.
In any case, Oblivion isn't excluding some female gamers or most female gamers, but all female gamers.

Assuming both of our logics is of equal validity, which they aren't. You're using inductive reasoning, which gives you a weaker claim.

Pasty McDoublechin, you missed the point.
|
Normally when you make a claim like that, you follow it by explaining how I've missed the point. Care to explain?
|
It shows that there are in fact negative effects (in his view) when you pit female and male gamers together. By having a female as his partner, the likelihood of this is far greater as males outnumber females by a huge margin. I thought you were all about logic...I therefore assumed you might be capable of figuring this out of yourself. You probably opted to get snacks instead...the overweight kid that redefined the field of theory has to get his immense energy from somewhere.

It seems you missed my point. This is going to happen no matter what, and nothing Oblivion does short of not playing online games is going to change that. The volume of how much he experiences it isn't that relevant, especially if it happens enough to the point where it stops bother him.

It didn't seem to bother him when he had a male gaming buddy, so that was a thought-through comeback, fatty!!!11
