For example, al human being charms him to be felt superior, better, faster, more intelligent, strong, astute, surpassed that the others,surpassing its adversaries, rival or competitive; nevertheless also it is spoken a lot of equality of opportunities,social justice, equity.Seems me that is somewhat paradoxical.
Know you other examples of paradoxes?

I find on the VERY RARE occasions that I can overcome my laziness/fears/assumptions/what have you, and actually take a objective, clear and open-minded stance on what I want to do with my life, and what I want to do with this moment, then I am truly happy. Not just "happy" but fulfilled, content, and peaceful knowing that I, and no one else, in THIS moment, is in control of me except my mind.

And since lving life is about living it well and happily, do you think maybe taking control is the key?

I'll first admit that this is homework, but I am not just looking for an answer, as I want to understand how to determine if the argument is considered valid, and why.

If an alien spaceship has landed, there should be a large circular depression in the field.

There is a large circular depression in the field. So the alien spaceship must have landed.

Now I know that when dealing with the "assumption words" (should and must), then it is said to be invalid, but then I get confused with deductive and inductive and don't know if they are the same as valid and invalid, and according to the book, I am looking to see if the argument is valid.

If any philosophy buffs really love your stuff, then please have a go at this...

Thanks

just like a flock of geese that fly in a specific formation together, is everything in the world possible inter-connected? When we die, will a part of the world die yet still remain alive through the inter-connectedness?

1.A closed mouth gathers no foot.
2.If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
3.Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
4.Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
5.Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
6.It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
7. Never test the depth of the water with both feet
8.The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.

...on to other people by accusing them of being on drugs when the person says something the addict does not understand or agree with. Misery loves company. So the addict want to feel that he is not alonje. He looks for reasons to aaccuse othersof being addicts so he will not feel lonely.
Anyone who accuses me of bering on drugs will get the drugs shoved right back down his throat.

How could he, if I don't even know what I'll be having for breakfast tomorrow or if I'll even be alive in the morning? Furthermore, why would God want or have to know what I'll be having for breakfast tomorrow? That's like saying that God literally has to know how many hairs will be on my head ten years from now.

When John Stuart Mill [19th century utilitarian] advocated this policy, Britain was not facing attacks from Wahhabis. Permitting 100% freedom of speech would mean alllowing Wahhabi terrorists like 'Abu Hamza' [Doctor Hook] to stay in the country, preach their Wahabbi ism with impunity and even receive free healthcare and benefits. This is obviously not something anyone wants to see. So is it time we dropped the idea of unconditional freedom of speech as being totally unrealistic, i.e. a pipe dream? Why should we allow the wahhabis to do as they please?
