Syllogisms

The Rev · 06-01-2010, 09:25 AM

It is a logical argument, deriving a true conclusion based on the assumed truth of two premises. Here's the classic example:

Major premise: All men are mortal.
Minor premise: Socrates is a man.
Conclusion: Socrates is mortal.

As stoners, it is encumbent upon us to abuse this form of logic. For example:

Major premise: God is Love
Minor premise: Love is Blind
Conclusion: God is Stevie Wonder

You get the idea. Anyway, the best submission gets an "I <3 The Rev" thong at cost.

1.Every rule is absolute and must be followed.
2.For every rule there is always an exception.
.:If there is a rule, then it must be followed and there is always an exception.

1.The human-world is based on rules.
2.There are human created punishments for breaking a rule, even when the human doing so is an exception to that rule.
.:The human-world creates punishments for humans that are following the rules :P.

I mucked up the conclusion on the second statement but I don't really care to fix it right now haha
