Mountain Bikers SILENT about Environmental Destruction in Their Backyard!
"That is a lie. It's interesting that you provide not one shred of evidence to support it. I'm sure you just heard that somewhere and repeated it. Making assertions that you don't KNOW to be fact is called "lying". See my point?" please can you provide evidence that the previous chap was "lying?" you have provided not a single shred of evidence that he is. you have simply blandly stated that he is lying. Lets assume for your argument that he is INCORRECT (I am not sayiing he is, purely for arguments sake) surely if he believes he is correct then he is just misinformed not a liar, since as you state you have to be aware of the fact you are lying to actually be lying. But you cannot possibly know whether he knows that he is wrong (assuming of course he IS wrong) or whether he is simply misinformed. So therefore you have made an assertation that you cannot prove to be true. But then you KNOW all of the above because you are a seasoned debater (well in my opinion more of a soapbox king but that is a different issue) you know all of the above that I have just stated. So therefore by your own argument you are a liar. Because I am gentleman, I will settle for the agreement that you are simply misinformed. So we now take this to conclusion and we have two potential hypotheses. Case 1. that you are a liar. - In this case, what else have you lied about? Your credibility is shot and nobody will believe a word you say. Case 2. You are simply misinformed. If you are so misinformed about something as simple as this, what else are you misinformed about? People lose confidence in you, your credibilty vanishes and nobody will believe a word you say. now obviously, because I have STATED my assumptions I cannot possibly be accused of being a liar. Therefore I could be misinformed but I worked all the above out for myself without any help from anyone else. I could of course be wrong and I would welcome any proof that I am so. Sadly I cannot go mountainbiking this weekend as I have severe chest pains and wont be biking anywhere for a while. Tis good to be back!! And finally you must really hate people like me because one of my favourite leisure activities is mountainbiking (I have several you see and I would include walking/hiking in there) and for a living I design roads (well I am a civil engineer in a highways division) - a very credible and professional career I would also add. -- davebee |
