taratemimaYou know, I've been thinking about proportional logic.
Stating that a story about a boy being called a 'fag' is false because people get called 'fag' all the time can be stated as this:
A(pretend this is a universal proportional quantifier) CalledFag(everyone)
|~CalledFag(boy whose mom posted in livejournal)
This is a true premise, but since the true premise is universal and (everyone) includes (boy whose mom posted in livejournal), the conclusion is false.
It is especially funny since the troll prides himself on being the most logical person EVAR and better than those namby-pamby humanities majors who just took a few classes on proportional logic. :)
(No, I won't tell you where. I am not feeding the troll)
