So this happened.
It was originally on a post where a girl said she wished guns didn't exist.
I mean, wut?
So, about logic

I'm afraid you might be autistic.

N ur so insecure about it you need Veeky Forums to soothe your bum?
If you can't figure out not to get involved in Facebook politics I can't imagine what you're doing on this board

Veeky Forums is just trolling practice for /b/ using the scientific method bro

(I am assumign you are purple)
Why do you debate people on facebook?
Why do you even participate in facebook threads that are not about discussing personal events?
If the people there are people you actually know and interact in the daily then you are absolutely retarded.
Also, saying stuff like 'logic is important' makes you sound so cringy. You cannot just assume that you are logical and they aren't.
Also, you are just outright stupid. Humans did not need war to get to their current technological progress. The moments the first universities were instituted progress was bound to happen. War was just a side product of the sad fact that resource are not infinite and if you have a shitty economy but a big army then what else can you do but use that army to fix your economy.
You are absolutely autistic ffs. Get out of my board, I cannot even stand sharing a board with someone so dull.

bullshit
>The moments the first universities were instituted progress was bound to happen
implying universities could occur without war
>War was just a side product of the sad fact that resource are not infinite
this is true
>and if you have a shitty economy but a big army then what else can you do but use that army to fix your economy.
this follows, but it implies it is the sole purpose of war
Ryan Collins
there is no doubt in my mind that you have autism
Samuel Powell
>bullshit
Nice argument there. You are definitely logical!
>implying universities could occur without war
They kinda did. Universities were not funded by war in any way.
You seem to be thinking that result implies causation. In more explicit terms you think that:
War brings with it advances in technology ==> Advances in technology come only from war
That little arrow means imply by the way, just in case. I hope that makes your mistake clear and can reconsider your views or at least adjust them.
>this follows, but it implies it is the sole purpose of war
Yeah, the sole purpose of war is to save shitty economies from collapsing. This is very tangential to the pursuit of knowledge.
History has shown that science grows in times of peace. If you think that this is not the case then let me point to a simple example:
Every year every country gets X dollars from their tax payers. Lets say that this country only has 2 expenses: science and war.
In times of war the country would have to divert more resources to war which would imply less resources for research grants.
A real world example is the US. You really think the government would have so much money to throw away at (mostly literally useless) research if they were at war?
This would be absurd.

meh.
i'd only go get diagnosed if they promised me good medications

Her argument is based on the assumption that currently people need guns in order to protect themselves from other people with guns. Therefor if guns suddenly stopped existing then people wouldn't have a need for guns.
A retard responded by saying that people "need" war to be where they are today.
While the retard isn't wrong in that war is responsible for a lot of technological progress, they are also not properly addressing the point.
