[citation][nom]beayn[/nom]Blah blah blah there goes watcha again. So you're saying the linked Youtube video (copy) of the Apple ad isn't good enough and I must provide the original ad. But if I went through the effort of contacting Apple for the original ad, providing a full list of air dates and channels (despite TV rapidly declining as the top advertising venue), you would still deny it by changing your argument or the meanings of words to suit your needs.[/citation]
See, this is why arguing with you never ends. You just_don't_get what's being said.
I am saying that a Youtube video is NOT an advert. It isn't. It may well be the case, for all we know (based on what you've shown us) that this advert was never actually displayed on TV. The point being, I can post any video on Youtube which says whatever, even if it was created by a company in question - but if it's not used eventually to advertise, it's not an advert. It was an advert IDEA. Often, this happens, because if an advert is found to be misleading or factually incorrect, it gets banned from being used as advertising, but still appears on Youtube.
Thus, a Youtube clip doesn't prove that this advert actually aired... do you get it yet? That is just one strand of the 3 strand argument - that you haven't proved this was actually used as an advert yet. A claim you made, not me.

#2) Get a language expert to teach you the meaning of the lines exactly as quoted. Or you can go back to school. Either or.

LOL.... I think my English is very good, thank you.
Woman: 'I want one that just works, without thousands of viruses, and tons of headaches'
Man: 'Look, lady, any PC you get's gonna have those problems'
For any reasonable, well educated person, that doesn't read as 'PC = viruses infested' - you know, common sense dictates that. It reads as any pc can cause you problems and can get infected by viruses, and cause you headaches.
Simple, obvious, normal interpretation.
If you interpret it differently, then at WORST from my point of view, it's subjective. You think YOU get to decide how it should be interpreted? There is an agency called the advertising standards agency who review all adverts before approving them and ensure they are not factually incorrect or mis-representative. They decide whether an advert is misleading or not, and IF THIS ADVERT WAS EVER USED AS AN ADVERT (ie aired), then they will have watched it and agreed with me. And since neither of us gets to decide what the 'correct' interpretation is, but THEY DO, they prove my interpretation correct. Why is why the advert then becomes arguably factually correct - since who better to decide whether it's correct or not than an agency set up for precisely that purpose? So it either aired proving you wrong, or it didn't air, proving you wrong. Your call, big man.

For #3: You basically just said I have no argument without evidence, but then said any evidence I provide isn't enough anyway, AND keep insisting I provide the evidence... Do you hear yourself? haha You are just getting more and more entertaining the more you talk.[/citation]
I love that you don't see that this is the whole point. Not only am I challenging the claim you make at every stage, since we've seen no evidence whatsoever yet that this clip was ever used as an advert, I also prove that even if it was an advert (I have never said it wasn't), it wouldn't matter, because it's not misleading and if it's aired it would have been adjudicated to not be misleading by the relevant authority. That is the beauty of logic, you see, Beayn. I cover every eventuality. I challenge you on multiple, independent grounds, each of which on their own prove you wrong. You often mistake proving one small element as correct as an overall 'win', which again is your failure to grasp my expert 3-pronged approach. 🙂

You have also provided no citations for the claims you have made. Please provide ORIGINAL documents for each and every argument or your argument is nullified. (copies don't count).[/citation]
Which claim?
[citation][nom]beayn[/nom]
If I take this fresh hard drive right off the shelf, install Windows 7 from a retail disk on it and tell you there are no viruses, you'd tell me THERE COULD BE A VIRUS ZOMG U DONT KNOW. U R IGNORANT nobody wud make that claim.[/citation]
Now you are trying to 'guess' what I would say? Please, lol. That's like a sheep trying to guess what chess move I make. I would tell you, as I did before, that you couldn't prove that it doesn't have a virus. An assertion I stand by. I have quite openly told you that I believe there are computers out there with viruses, but I have also showed why that opinion is irrelevant, and illustrated that it's very hard to prove. I would then illustrate to you that the advert doesn't claim that all PC's have viruses anyway, and that this is proven if the advert ever managed to be aired as the relevant authority must have therefore seen the ad and agreed with me. If, on the other hand, the advert didn't air, it's not an advert.
It's a beautiful circle of me being right at every tangent. And you're slowly realising that's why logic is such a great skill to have ;-)

victorintelr: watcha claims this argument was started by myself and back_by_demand, however we are just used to seeing him around these parts. He frequently attacks anyone who doesn't have his "Apple is perfect" opinion. Frequently gets condescending, rude and resorts to name calling when losing. All while twisting the facts (if any) and changing his argument multiple times (as he did above). [/citation]
Lets be honest, you both brought up 2 year old arguments. If that isn't proof that you're still reeling from someone actually educating you, I don't know what is. So ironic that you describe my logical assertions as 'attacking' and 'name calling', whilst telling me I work at McDonalds along with a strew of other angry desperate insults - anything to avoid actually staying on topic hey? And of course, not resorting to 'name calling' , not being 'rude'... and not being 'condescending'... I've not twisted any facts, I've not changed my argument at all - I invited you to journey back to my very first post in all cases, I'm absolutely clear at every step of the way - as I said, it's often a case of you just not understanding what is being said. Exactly like the software argument with iPhone, exactly with this argument debate. What's so funny is you started off this whole conversation by bringing up an off-topic, completely irrelevant debate, because deep down, you know what I've said cannot be argued with.
[citation][nom]beayn[/nom]
I've never actually seen a good debate with this guy, despite attempting it myself a few times. We've all gone beyond actually trying to convince him of anything and just point out his stupidity while watching him fumble about in desperation.Like just now, while desperately calling foul for having no proof, I got him to admit no amount of proof is enough, while he still demands said proof. [/citation]
No actually, you came to the realisation that even if there WERE proof, it would be irrelevant. That's the beauty of you being wrong in more than one way.
[citation][nom]beayn[/nom]
His circular reasoning is unmistakable!Next he will try to say "I never demanded proof" or "I never admitted that" or something along those lines, despite it being clearly typed by him above.[/citation]
Please, again, don't try to anticipate the comments of your superiors. As I said, I do demand proof, and I disprove you even if you find said proof. That's the beauty of logic. It's not circular reasoning, it's proving you wrong in every possible way, at every step along the way. First you have to prove the claim you make is true, and then I tell you why it's irrelevant.
The fact you describe that as 'circular argument' and believe it's a bad thing is why the guy before is right in that you would never be convinced of anything. Not because you aren't willing to change, but because you aren't capable of grasping a basic conversation.
And by the way, the debate was perfectly fine before you brought up 2 year old tears.
