@ at all the talk about religious displays.
If I put up Christmas decorations at my house, and you see them, are you pressured to think a certain way? What if I put up a sign that says "Obama 2008" on my lawn? Are you somehow pressured to vote for Obama? What if I mow my lawn, am I somehow pressuring others to mow their lawns also because they see me mowing my lawn? Does something with religious orientation automatically make it imposing a belief? ![]() --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I posted this on the debate games section. ![]() That statement right there is a fallacy in and of itself. Try and spot it. If no one ever tries to convince anyone else about anything, nothing in the world would ever get done. There is something called the trap of tolerance. Its the biggest fallacy of modern society. This makes it impossible for anyone to be decided about any issue. Let us take an instance where someone actually is purposely trying to impose their ideas. Look at every single advertisement for a product on every single billboard, sign, TV commercial, internet AD, etc. They are trying to impose their ideas on you but no one seems to raise any issues about it. In your lifespan, you will see on average perhaps a billion advertisements. ![]() Quite subliminal isn't it? There is a difference between trying to convince someone and showing respect while trying to convince someone. Last edited by Banefull; 11-24-2010 at 12:37 AM. |
