      School was a bummer right? Lost in your own amazement?

        • So, basically what you are saying is that generalizations are wrong? or atleast Always wrong some of the time? hmmm...seems like i posted the same thing two pages ago.
          I've never said "all generalizations are right" or even that a valid generalization is "always accurate". All I said is that certain generalizations are true and that true generalizations are rules which hold "most of the time".

          I have shown that your aspirin deduction, is deduced from an established generalization. Sorry if my posting the same thing two pages agos bothers you, I'm just trying to be consistent.

          • I don't really agree with your view of the aspirin thing, and i think you won't either in a couple of years, but that is a bit tedious and tiresome to debate at this point. Go ask your logic prof, he'll explain it to you.

            as for:
            All I said is that certain generalizations are true and that true generalizations are rules which hold "most of the time".
            The signifigance of this statement proves my other post that generalizations are worthless in themselves. Glad you are starting to think clearly

                          • I used to work from 12:15am-8:15am or 1am-9am all summer, six days a week. In a hot, busy bakery.

                            Working at a computer lab is nothing at this hour.
