Quote:Straw man. I've noted more than once that in human behavior there are individual exceptions to the general rules.
No, that's not a straw man. A straw man is if I misrepresent your position and then argue against that. Please tell me where I have misrepresented your position and how.
You are trying to establish a rule that is supposed to work in the majority of cases apart from exceptions, and I'm pointing out that you do it using faulty logic, and therefore you have not presented a valid argument. I wasn't arguing against your position using individual counter examples - if that were the case you'd have a point, but it's not.
Quote:Would you accept a light from the guy with the car, or refuse it out of spite or principle?
I think you are stretching my metaphor a bit too far.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
