YOU THREW A BUS AT ME AND NOW REVENGE THURSDAY

You know. I never actually threw a bus at you. And though I killed you three times... somehow... none of it was intentional.

THURSDAY

i will blow you too oblivion

Ha ha! You're funny! You're a whole day off!

*throw blue whale at EC*

Aren't those endangered or something? Anywho, you missed. You only crushed one of my legs.

THURSDAY

Yelling thursday does not an argument make. What you need to do is throughly research the issue, cite other related legal cases, and carefully and calmly explain why Thursday should remain. Remember, the negative has the burden of disproving the affirmative.

well first 99.9999999999999999999999999999999% of the population use the word thursday
it ends in ay and can be put in poetry
thing sucks

Using the argument "thing sucks" makes yourself appear childish and is not a valid argumentation strategy.

Your first one was good except focused too much on the exact decimal when you could have just said "over 99% of the world uses Thursday instead of Thing. Why then should it be changed?" You could have gone into an appeal to tradition. Bear in mind however, that appeal to tradition can be dismissed as a fallacy of argumentation.

The second argument: That Thursday ends in ay and can be put in poetry is irrelevent. You've offered no evidence that "ay" is superior or even desirable and Thing can also be used in poetry for it also rhymes. Thing, sing, ding, bing, king, ming.

Therefore the only argument that stands is the fact that most of the world uses it.

*pops head in*



*pops head out*

look

I like Thursday
in every way
Its absouloutley funny
Its jsut as sweet as honey
When its thursday
Nothing will ever dismay

NOW MAKE A POEM ABOUT THING

Thing: A haiku

Fifth day of the week.
Thing's best in every way.
It easily beats Thursday.

Thank you, thank you

THATS NOT A HAIKU

HAIKU

first line 5 sylabelles
second line 7 sylabbeles
3rd lin 5 sylabelles

YOUR RUBBISH THING

first line 5 sylabelles
second line 5 sylabbeles
3rd lin 7 sylabelles

Only if you pronounce easily as three syllables. The way I talk, I pronounce it as one

But we're getting off topic. I've argued that ability to be used in a poem is irrelevant to a days usefulness. Your response?

even like that the last lines go t7 sylabelles and is worng

I don't understand a thing you just said

Regardless of my inability to haiku-nate up this thread it still stands that ability to be used in a poem is not neccessary for a day of the week and therefore your argument should be disregarded. Any rebuttal?

I dint understand what you saind and only have one thursday to do *stabs his eyes with kiwi spoons

I knew kiwi spoons were dangerous! General Woundwort lied to me! Only he said that it was dogs that weren't dangerous.

Anyway, I guess you don't understand the conventions of formal debate. Thats alright though. I can explain it to you in long and boring fashion. Y'see I'm a studier of communications.
