PHOBOS in, The Aladdin Genius!!!

[Val]

Hi kid!!


It's Saturday morning!
You wake up and say to your mom:
MUMMY!!!! I'm going to the shopping with my school friends.
During the way, you find the Aladdin lamp.




Of course, you are not stupid and watched the cartoon on TV. You know that rubbing the damn lamp, a genius will appear. So, you do it!


ALAKASAN!!!!


Hello babies!!!

I am Phobos, the genius of this disgustin... (oops sorry! ) the genius of this marvelous lamp!
Val put me in this beautiful topic to be your genius. So choose a wish, but please an easy one, because if I can't accomplish it, he will ban me. But for this time, Val will ban me forever.

If you don't know what to ask for Phobos, I'll help giving you 5 options:

a) I'll ask Phobos to give a deep kiss on solo;
b) I'll ask Phobos a Playstation 3 as a birthday present to Rebelman;
c) I'll ask Phobos to marry Val and Plastic Flute, then he will give me peace;
d) I'll ask Phobos to be a more beautiful boy because he is absurdly ugly;
e) Ask anything. Val will ban him forever!!!

So?
What will you ask for Phobos?

[Jocasta]

Lost in translation.

[Val]

In what part?

[solo1]

I am reminded of a David Bowie album.

Good luck, Val.

[Val]

Jr ...

you must love Phobos.
He's nice!

[Samson The Cat]

You know ther German word for genius is actually Genie. This false friend is only pronounced differently.

So choose a wish, but please an easy one, because if I can't accomplish it, he will ban me.

Well I certainly don't won't that to happen. What if I try to trick the system when I wish: Genius, don't get banned by Val? At least that's more creative than wishing for another 100 wishes.

a) I'll ask Phobos to give a deep kiss on solo;

Homophobos giving a kiss to solo? I don't see how that would accomplish anything. Next.

b) I'll ask Phobos a Playstation 3 as a birthday present to Rebelman;

That's more practical. I think I'm gonna favor this option.

c) I'll ask Phobos to marry Val and Plastic Flute, then he will give me peace;

I don't know about bigamy, but isn't Phobos against same-sex marriage? So when the three of you are married to eachother ...or does that mean Phobos is supposed to play the dude that performs a wedding? Hmm. Would he be the right one for this job after the beef he has with Val?

d) I'll ask Phobos to be a more beautiful boy because he is absurdly ugly;

Samson doesn't ask questions like this on principle, even if someone should raise them. But Samson doesn't have information about that, too.

e) Ask anything. Val will ban him forever!!!

Don't know. It's been a laborious weekend. I don't want to think right now.

Not to mention I'd kill myself if I was stuck in a loveless marriage for the rest of my life.

Do I get to add a wish!!!

I find that jokes are better when you don't explain them, but thanks.

[Phobos]

Isn't David Bowie one of the homosexual kind?

Nuff said.

No. Relevant, how?

No he's not. Ironically, that's a perfect example of what ignoratio elenchi actually means. So you've learned two things today!

Be nice and wait for more replies.

There has to be an argument present in order for a fallacy to occur, there was no argument present and I was making light of the situation. Irish community colleges surely are quite backward in their educational system...

Try actually learning fallacies and Latin for that matter and then try and come at me. I am rather tired of your pseudo-intellectualism you are trying to perpetrate around the forum. Maybe if you actually took the time to learn something you wouldn't be having problems reading into logic. Have a nice day as you have just ****ed up another good thread.

Não, you don't!

Can't when solo1 is being a douche-bag.

Well, I'm glad you didn't deny making that mistake. Also, "Isn't David Bowie one of the homosexual kind?" is the advancement of an argument.

Your attempt to dig yourself out has been counter-productive on this occasion. Please try again.

I was making light of the situation.

No, you weren't. You were claiming David Bowie is a homosexual, for some unknown reason. If you were "making light", it should be funny. It's not funny. It's just irrelevant. Or, as you like to call it, ignoratio elenchi.

Irish community colleges surely are quite backward in their educational system...

You're making several assumptions in this one sentence that are incorrect. If you could keep things to one incorrect assumption per sentence, or at least try to organise your inaccuracy in some way.

Try actually learning fallacies and Latin for that matter

1. I have a degree in Classical History.
2. "elenchi" is Greek, not Latin.

Again, if you could just keep it to one screw-up per sentence.

and then try and come at me.

I'd rather not, thanks. But if you keep attacking me with your illiterate trash, I will point at you and laugh.

Maybe if you actually took the time to learn something you wouldn't be having problems reading into logic.

1. I have a degree in Classical History (in case you missed that)
2. You can't "read into" logic.

Can you please try to keep it to one mistake per sentence. It's getting more and more difficult to keep track of the fail.

Fix'd.

Of course, you'd never insult someone personally, would you? You'd never make use of ad hominem. Not you, Phobos! How could anyone accuse you of something like that?

Advancement of an argument?

http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_18.../argument.html

I wasn't making an argument. If I were I would have said something along the lines of this, "David Bowie is a homosexual, therefore I do not like him." That is an advancement on an argument. Stop with the bs.

No, you weren't. You were claiming David Bowie is a homosexual, for some unknown reason. If you were "making light", it should be funny. It's not funny. It's just irrelevant. Or, as you like to call it, ignoratio elenchi.

IE only takes place when someone is making statements supporting a conclusion they put forth in their actual "argument". I wasn't making any argument, just making "light" of the topic. Also, what is considered "funny" is subjective.

You're making several assumptions in this one sentence that are incorrect. If you could keep things to one incorrect assumption per sentence, or at least try to organise your inaccuracy in some way.

The last sentence was me being an ass basically mocking your educational system.

1. I have a degree in Classical History.
2. "elenchi" is Greek, not Latin.

Never said elenchi meant Latin. I just said take Latin.

I'd rather not, thanks. But if you keep attacking me with your illiterate trash, I will point at you and laugh.

Yeah, I am the "illiterate" one when you have a hard time reading and understanding the difference between logical arguments and a person just making ass-hole based comments.

1. I have a degree in Classical History (in case you missed that)
2. You can't "read into" logic.

You can read into logic as there are tons of books published and you could take some philosophy classes. A degree in classical history doesn't say much for me as I could care less about your degree. Any average person can get a degree in classical history. Isn't that one of the easiest degrees anyway? I am going out on a limb and going to say, yes. As evident where you've gotten yourself, I would say classical degrees are basically nothing compared to the amount of money you could get becoming an engineer. ;)

Of course, you'd never insult someone personally, would you? You'd never make use of ad hominem. Not you, Phobos! How could anyone accuse you of something like that?

ad hominem's only apply to logical arguments, or didn't they teach you that at Ireland's finest community college institution? Please...

[solo1]

But Phobos, you're still attacking me. Can't you see it?

Your entire post above was a desperate attempt to prove me wrong. Can't you see that this sort of thing can't be good?

I could take that post apart and explain all the mistakes you made, but what's the point? You won't learn from it. You'll just use it as a jumping point for more insults.

For instance, I've asked you nicely more than once to not hold opinions on things you don't understand, but that post was full of it.

So what's the point? There's no way I can explain it to you so that you'll understand.

[Val]

But Phobos, you're still attacking me.

Could the two kids attack each other on your pms? Here on my topic Phobos is a genius and will grant us just one wish.
