For those not familiar with the term, it means taking a proposition to it's logical but extreme conclusion. The purpoise of dis game den is to reply to the poster above you with the absurd conclusion of their proposition. I'll give a brief example.
Proposition- Eating junk food is bad for you. Absurdum- Many junk foods contain high levels of fat, salts, sugars and starches, which lead to health complications. These health complications will eventually degrade your body before its time resulting in an early death. Conclusion- Eating junk food causes death.
That was a short and weak reply in my opinion, but it was enough to let youse know what to do. So then I'll post a proposition and you guys run with it. Remember, after you respond, post your own proposition for the next poster.
Proposition-Cats make better pets than dogs.

AD- Cats are considered bad luck in certain cultures, and in some are revered as gods, for this reason we must wonder what makes them so feared. Cats have dirty mouthes and claws, your ten times more likely to get an infection from a cat bite or scratch than that of a dog's.
C- Your a crazy mofo You will get a cat and get sick from their bad habits, possibly a blood infection.
P- It's better under the sea.

AD - Under the sea there is a no light and lifeforms that may or may not exist not to mention the extreme amounts of pressure.
C - Under the sea you're a blind flat pancake for whatever science has or hasn't discovered.
P - Twilight Sucks. No This is not a proposition it's a fact. And now for my proposition. It's good to be king.

AD- Kings are monarchs and not being a careful monarch will leave you to be remembered as a monster, possibly the death of everyone and everything you love. You have constant responsibilities, in modern days you may find yourself being put down for your royal linage, the murk of history distorting your image to society.
C- Under pressure all the time, death threats, tis not good at all.
P- There's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

AB: Coke is a highly addictive drug that is very popular with those that have money and those that waste all of their money for a small fix. It slowly kills them from the inside out thus controlling the surplus population of stupid if only by a sleight margin in comparision to the mass growth of stupid over the years. Pepsi is a soda. It give you cavities.
C: Coke is indeed better than Soda.

C: All change is corruption.

Post by the1truesushiboy on May 9, 2011 19:53:27 GMT -5
