Oh my god there is someone stupid enough to argue this.

Post by Rightous Fist Of Heaven »

SlobbaTheHutt famous asshole.moron and just a basic ignorant little fucktard now tries to collapse the Dodonna calcs by claiming that since Dodonna didnt say "more firepower than half of the imperial starfleet but less than the entire fleet" then the fleet automatically has some of 200 times more firepower than the entire fleet.Is it just me or is there seriously something wrong with this logic? If someone says "more power than half of that" isnt it pretty goddamn clear that then it has more power than half of x but less than entire x.

You're right he didn't specify. But that doesn't eliminate the possibility of being greater than the entire fleet. Greater than half was the only specification.
I'm sick of your half-assed assumption. Dodonna's quote means nothing more than the words uttered from his mouth. The case is closed.
10 million is more than half the starfleet. So is 100 million. And don't forget 100 billion. Did dodonna specify how much greater than half the starfleet? Sure he didn't. That's why you're a retard. Maybe dodonna was stating that the death star can destroy a planet much quicker than half the starfleet. But of course your dinky little mind wouldn't accept something like that.
I dunno why i bother with this asshat, propably because i allways laugh my ass off when i read his responses and bashing him is just so damn entertaining despte the fact that logic cannot penetrate his WoI.

Ask him why Dodonna did not specify the entire fleet then, and only half the fleet.

I did, and supported my conclusions with logic that why did he use the term "half" if the firepower was more than "entire". The answer from him was usual jumble and basically just repeating the bullshit that all that matters is that Dodonna didnt specify that "but less than entire fleet" :roll:

Straight forward appeal to ignorance fallacy (although, an incredibly weak one at that). Because you cannot DEFINITIVELY rule out one possibility, it must be as likely as all other options. Commence mockery.

"More firepower than half the starfleet" therefore more firepower than the entire starfleet times a million? What a fucking asshole.

Man he's dumb. Tell him this: If it was a million times more powerful than the entire starfleet, then why did Dodonna say "Greater than half" if it was far less accurate than "A million times greater" according to him?

That IS painful. What a dickhead.

I'd just ignore him if I was in your shoes. Barring that (you're a glutton for punishment :) ), tell him if the DS firepower was greater than the ENTIRE Starfleet, why did he mention half?

It makes no sense. The Death Star has a firepower greater than half the Starfleet, as in over 50% but much LESS than 100%, let alone a million fuckin' percent. Any retard can understand that.

As far as his statement to the effect that "maybe Dodonna meant slightly more than half the fleet could do it, it'd just take them a lot longer than the DS" flies in the face of physics. If you're going to shatter a world, you can't deliver the energy in minutes or hours. Either do it almost instantly, or your weapons aren't powerful enough to break it apart violently. Very simple.
Pain, or damage, don't end the world, or despair, or fuckin' beatin's. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, ya got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man ... and give some back.

This is new? Edam was repeating this basic argument over, and over, and over on ASVS for a while, until he finally switched to the argument he couldn't be talking about the superlaser, he must mean the surface guns.

Believe me guys i have tried to reason with him explaining why Dodonna said half instead of entire, he just continues on with his shit and tthen is a moron enough to call ME a retard.Anyway the reason i even bother debating with this fuckwit is because now when the SWG forum Trekkie boys gave up there arent many big boards where there would be funny dickheaded idiots like Slobba, i do it for entertainment :D
