the weaker argument defeats the stronger?
492588
A weaker argument can defeat a stronger argument if it is worded more clearly and better than a stronger argument.  If you can't say what you have to say well (so that others can understand you), then you can't argue very well no matter how strong your argument is.  Also, some people like to argue with a loud voice and be very aggressive, and often they win arguments (even if their argument is weaker) due to intimidation and an inability for the other person to speak.\n\nOften, though, it is easier for a stronger argument to defeat a weaker argument.

If you are attempting to question the validity of such important and scientifically PROVED theories such as the theory of evolution I suggest that you use stronger arguments than the one you just used ( It does not fit with modern scientific discoveries in molecular biology etc)

Men and women are not equal but neither is superior. I know that sounds almost contradictory and I suppose it might be if you narrow it down to specific areas such as physical strength. But overall I think it is a valid statement. It is like the ancient Chinese idea of Yin and Yang, 2 halves of a whole. To say one gender is superior to another is really comparing apples and oranges.

does it matter if we are superior or not. the thing with animals is, when mankind wipes him self out or herself out then the good old animals will find a way to claw there way to the top again, until the next species comes along and thinks there the top dog or the biggest cock in hen house

I can't answer that, but I know you seem to be right.  I try to keep my opinions to myself in public, because I know I cannot be pursuaded to another belief, so why argue?  "They," however, seem to like to get into disagreements and arguments, and I don't give in.  On here, however, I love commenting on some of the silly answers given!  Too bad it isn't like IM so we can discuss some of these things further...

Wrong!\nThe burden of proof is never on the side of dis-proving something.

I think it does sharpen your beliefs when someone challenges them. Sometimes the anger that people show is insecurity in what they believe. They don't know how to answer a question someone asks them and so they lash out at the person for even asking.  When people ask what I believe it also helps me to examine what I believe and creates a dialog between the two of us.

A logical appeal proceeds by separating arguments from mere opinions, and then by separating valid from invalid arguments.\n\nAn emotional appeal doesn't, you idiot! [kidding of course :) ]

Better for whom and for which purpose?  They each have their strengths and weaknesses

It's not just you; I've noticed it, too. Kinda weakens both arguments in my view.

LOL, I wouldn't say they turn crybaby, but they do get really defensive, and they always pick the most nonsensical answer that is closest to their own belief system.  Or, in one case, one of those people chose my answer as best answer to "make an example" out of me.  Funny, I was calling HER out on insulting people, and then calling anyone who disagreed with her "narrow-minded neo-cons".  She said I proved her point.  I didn't realize she had one.

the less is the joint market power of oligopolists, the stronger is competition btw them, the better for consumers. the best variant is bertrand or price competition which gives efficient outcome.

taking an opposing viewpoint in an argument, not necessarily because you believe it, but to help the other individual work out their arguments in favour of their position

I'm not sure I understand your question.  I certainly think that the meaning of counterfactuals can be unraveled in a systematic way.
