		<description>logos, pathos and ethos translate roughly into modern english as follows;

logos - &quot;moe&quot;

pathos - &quot;larry&quot; 

ethos - &quot;curly&quot;

together, these are known as the &quot;fates&quot; or better known as, &quot;the three stooges&quot;.

it is a mystery as to why &quot;shemp&quot; sometimes replaces &quot;curly&quot; in some of the later works.

this appears to be because of the change in ethos of the filmmakers.</description>

		<description>logic, philosphy and political science are

1) hermeneutical and linguistic constructs designed to obscure the fact that we are all food for a giant computer machine known as the matrix

2)  hermeneutical and linguistic constructs designed to obscure the fact that we are all food for a giant military industrial global corporate complex known as the american empire

3)  both 1 and 2

4) neither 1 or 2

5) 1 or 2

6)  give me the blue pill, i don&#039;t want to go down the rabbit hole</description>

		<description>&quot;locke&#039;s thought is the myopia of logic&quot;

john locke wrote or believed in all of the following;

1)  you had to have property to vote;

2)  catholics were not as valuable morally as protestants;

3)  he actually wrote a state constitution for one of the colonies of the american colonies that did not fully tolerate all religions, contrary to his own views and beliefs;

4)  he did not believe in the trinity of god, holy spirit and jesus christ, or if he did, he did not believe they could fully co-exist in one being at the same time in the same place one in three and three in one as required by the Nicene Creed;

5)  locke&#039;s arguments for toleration are 

a) utilitarian

b) rights - based

c) both

d) neither

6)  the american constitution is based more on

a) locke&#039;s political thought

b) aristotle&#039;s political thought

c)  the requirements of southern slaveholders and northern war bondholders</description>

		<description>a snail is approaching the finish line of a race.

each time it jumps, it jumps half way to the finish line.

does it every finish the race?

a)  no, because half of infinity is infinity.

b)  yes, because we can approximate the limit of the infinitesimal in the limit to zero and therefore in the limit, he approaches the finish line, and he actually does, in the limit, finish, approximately.

c)  What the heck do I know?  I&#039;m a debate, I never studied math.</description>

		<description>logic proves everything and nothing are true - gorgias

1) all cretans are liars

2) Hippopottomes, a cretan, says he is a cretan.

3)  Hippopottomes is 

a)  telling the truth, because he is lying; or

b)  lying, because he is telling the truth; or

c) caught in a vicious ancient paradox that cannot
be resolved.</description>
