QMO's Journal: Discussion that I saw

http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=164218&cid=13722289

Is one right and the other wrong?
Are they both wrong?
Are their arguments inspiring and reasonable?
Are they both just dumb?

You decide.

Hmmm...

Hudson was pretty much beating up the AC, but this was a big slow fish in a barrel. And he didn't offer much support for his claims about, e.g. banner ads. Also, I don't believe that a majority of neocons accept all of the items listed, but that's just my gut feel and I can't back it up with solid numbers.

My decision

[Descalzo]

I don't know. I can't decide. I think that the one guy WAS dumb, but I haven't yet decided if the other guy is or not. I think they both make the error of using absolutes (ineffective and effective) instead of using degrees (more effective, less effective).

I am not a logic expert, and I have a hard time separating my own feelings from the logic, and I suspect these 2 have the same problem.

Finally, they use a lot of escalators. It started off reasonable enough, but seemed subtly laced with insults tow
