Oh, do apologize. Didn't see it in tilted philosophy, and I'd expect it to get a different response here than anywhere else in this forum.
The dog eating shit thing though...
I was meaning people cry hypocrite alot when someones doing something they think is bad, they tell other people not to do it, and they continue on doing it. Just because they're doing it and saying don't do it doesn't make them wrong... Alchoholics and smokers get called hypocrites all the time by their children, I suppose, and I imagine that the children justify doing whatever it is they shouldn't be doing by saying "you do it!"
I'm defending do as I say not as I do from a parental stance.
False premises can lead to valid conclusions. Something elicited me into looking at lists of logical fallacies, and it interested me enough to read through the abridged version. It gave the example of simplifying a fraction, using a method that doesn't work, but in this case, it came out with the right answer. The response was "you can't just cancel out the..." and the person arguing the fallacy said "so your saying 1/2 doesn't equal 2/4?" Of course, this is a grossly simplified example of a grossly simplified example of a logical fallacy explained in full. Do expect errors of interpretation.
Wait a second. I've just succesfully jacked my own thread. Yay?
