Hey, slow down there, big guy. The point of drinking games is to get drunk, not to get liver damage and a habitual drinking problem. If I were to drink at the level you suggest, I would be dead within the hour.

that's the point...i was hoping "patrick" was playing along

Hi IamBaytor:

The Anthropomorphic fallacy in logic is to attribute human qualities to either animals or material objects. To prefer a white gi over a blue gi, or to claim the superiority of a white gi is nothing more than that. The mere suggestion or entailment of a human connotation to a white gi is committing the anthropomorphic fallacy. So don't anthropomorphasize.

It is my opinion that the blue gi is an abomination, no human qualities are prescribed. No anthropomophic inuendoes or suppositions in that opinion.

I still fail to see how I'm the one anthropomorphizing here.

From Dictionary.com-
Abomination:
1: a person who is loathsome or disgusting 2: hate coupled with disgust [syn: abhorrence, detestation, execration, loathing, odium] 3: an action that is vicious or vile; an action that arouses disgust or abhorence; "his treatment of the children is an abomination"

Still waiting for an answer to my question. How is calling a blue gi an abomination not anthropomorphizing?

You have not yet seen the light. The Blue Gi is just one more example of the moral decay of American Society. First pornography, then gay marraige and now the BLUE GI. Arguing with a true believer is always fruitless.

Because I wasn't giving a blue gi human qualities, that is why. The adjective 'abomination' is used to describe any grotesque abnormality, it is not delegated only to humans. Try looking it up in Fowlers, OED, Websters, Funk & Wagnall's, American Collegiate dictionaries, or any of the myriad dictionaries floating around in your local library.

I could make a comment about people who think that, "If it ain't white, it ain't right." But I'll refrain.

I'm willing to accept that there is more than one way to define abomination. However, there is still this:
Abomination:
1: a person who is loathsome or disgusting

By the way, how is it that my statement was anthropomorphizing?

 

[Patrick Skerry]

1: a person who is loathsome or disgusting

I cannot find this in three dictionaries I have just reviewed.

As I said, I can accept that there is more than one definition, but my question stands. How was my statement anthropomorphizing?

I made an assumption that you were interpreting my white gi preference along racist lines, which I took offense and puzzlement, since a bleached white gi has nothing to do with human skin color; and I am not a racist in any sense of the word. You were also very off topic. So by the rules of Parlimentary debate - I win! White gi's rule!!!

 

[Baytor]

I see. You assumed that I was comparing you to intollerant, ignorant, sad little minded humans. What I was really compaing you to intollerant and inflexible people who think that they are better than others becuase of what they wear, rather than how they train. Oh yeah, and I think you are a troll.

 

[bignick]

haha...he certainly is aim for the golden troll award...

now...just wait for his comment about "SPORT JUDO!!!"

 

[Baytor]

Maybe it will be something like

"BEHOLD, THE TROPHY OF BLUE GI WEARING SPORT JUDOKAS!"

Either way, we get to drink.:cheers:

EDIT: Just found this on Fox news. This is seriously messed up, but made me think of the drinking game.
