Your example is the exception that proves the rules. We are not talking about rapes, Correll, but about academic performance.
Now Correll, we can document with empirical data and quantitative analysis genocide. That is what we should be doing with the OP.
Stay on track.
What makes you think that my example is the exception? Other than your self serving interest in dismissing positions rather than seriously or honestly addressing them. Document the OP? Err, it already has been. My point has been that this is not a change for the better.
Your exception has not proven to be the norm. That is the fallacy of hasty generalization. Now, Correll, you are being dishonest. Accept the fact that you are arguing off your back foot and are in danger in slipping on your argument, Correll.
You've done nothing to prove your claimed "norm" at all.
You admit you have opinions and conclusions about issues you have no personal experience of, but still attack me for doing the same.
YOu are obviously just looking for excuses to dismiss arguments you cannot refute logically.
DO you have an opinion on Murder? Have you ever witnessed a Murder? Or done one yourself? I won't ask if you've ever been murdered of course.
I haven't. I still have a strong belief that murders are wrong, and I am strongly against them.
Slavery. I have no personal experience with slavery. DO you?
I am strongly against it, and I assume you are too.
Lets go on.
Abuse of animals. I have no personal experience with it. Still have a strong opinion.
Have you any personal experience with it? If you don't or if you didn't would you then refuse to take sides on the issue?
What about manned space flight? What about Polygamy? What about lobotomies as a treatment for mental illness?
Your position that personal experience is required to have a position on an issue is utterly absurd.
