QuoteQuoteUh huh, then why are you coming into this so late?
Contrary to popular belief, I don't sit at my computer 24/7/365 and follow every, single, picayune post?
Come in "late"?!? I made the second post in this thread, buddy/guy/friend.
So you just heard that Rahm and other politicians were trying to block Chik-fil-A from opening up more restaurants in their cities? If so then coming in this late is understandable.

In that case, it is likely that the bulk of what you think is Logic is anywhere from slightly to completely wrong.
For example, when someone says disparagingly that something is "just semantics," they are often overlooking Semantics' key role as the study of meaning in the attempt to claim something meaningless.
Similarly dismissing Rhetoric, the study of argument (and no, I do not mean the Monty Python variant) and its structure, can serve to bolster a good deal of nonsense.
Logic is math, pure and simple. It is not "good" or "bad" in and of itself, but its applications are broad.
A particularly good treatment of the subject is Introduction to Logic by Irving M. Copi; it is comprehensive, but not intended to be a light vacation read.
A perusal of Wikipedia entries on the various subjects would cover the bases, but there is a lot to be said for following a through treatment from soup to nuts.
For a Logician to hear people's idea of "Logic" is akin to a Parisian hearing someone say "pardon my French." There is more to it than just a turn of phrase.

QuoteThe guy who owns Chick-fil-a is known to have strong religious beliefs. Doesn't bother me, cause we have Zaxby's nearby.
I get a bigger kick out of the politicians who don't want Chick-fil-a in their town because they don't agree with the owners beliefs. I could swear I heard Rahm Emmanuel say, "That boy's different fum us. We don't want him in ar town."
We can always count on the enemies of intolerance to show us what intolerance looks like.
It's not about religion. It's about civil rights. They don't want Chick-fil-a in their town because they don't want to support bigots who would violate the civil rights of gays.
Once the proselytizers insert religion into the matter, then the whole argument becomes hopelessly conflated with religion. Tacky, indeed.

QuoteIt probably will not be a surprise for you to learn that in six years of college and university education, I cannot recall ever having one formal course in logic.
Not only does it not surprise me, it explains a great many things.
One of the great failings of our education system is not requiring enough courses in how to think as opposed to simply regurgitate.

I never think about logic except when it pops up in a SC reply or post.
You are a learned man with a critical eye for exactness. You express yourself as such consistently here in SC. You grade posts and responses as if they were graduate level or professional papers.
Me, I just blast stuff out as it comes to my mind.
The only thing I am consistent on is Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The rest is psychedelic, pun intended.

Has Chick-fil-A banned any Homosexual patrons from eating at any of their franchise locations? Has a Chick-fil-A franchise banned any Homosexuals from applying for jobs? Has a Chick-fil-A franchise harassed or fired any Homosexuals for their sexual orientation? Exactly what civil rights have been violated? Or do you believe in "Guilty until proven innocent" and "the only free speech I believe in, is when I agree with what is being said".
All that happened here was that the Head Honcho of Chick-fil-A exercised his free speech saying "He does not agree with same sex marriage". You have the right to disagree with his views of the world, but he has not committed any hate crimes and so far he has not violated anybody's civil rights.
To allow politicians to decide who can and who can not open up a business based on someone's religious beliefs and/or free speech is a slippery slope you do not want to go down. Let the market decide whether or not Chick-fil-A franchises can be viable in all their new locations.
