A Skeptic's Limerick

[Antipositor]

There once was a skeptic named Lou,
Who was often called "believer" and "woo,"
For daring to doubt,
The "skeptics'" verdicts about,
Things no sane person could claim that they knew.

Oh that's my biography in a nutshell!

Oh that's my Autobiography in a nutshell!

Not my autobiography - I didn't write it!

Not many of us seem to understand that being open minded doesn't work by having firm conclusions about things that aren't easily explained.

Maybe this attitude can be fostered over time.Society does not encourage 'open mindedness'.

Not many of us seem to understand that being open minded doesn't work by creating straw men, lying and repeating fallacies.

There, fixed your typos for you.

Nice illustration of building a straw man. Rewording someone else's statements to suit your argument.

straw man.

It's interesting that you are happy to use it as your only debating tool but don't like being on the receiving end.

Being 'open minded' has nothing to do with any conclusion you draw about anything.

If you're wondering why people don't get your argument it's because your argument is wrong.

A self-proclaimed skeptic: Antipositer
Of drivel became a depositor
On many a thread
Pure nonsense was spread
Not the quality we demand of our osseter

Is it the UKS bad poetry week?

Is it the UKS bad poetry week?

Yes. And here's another:

I today saw a thread with a limerick,
That appeared to be taking the mick.
The writer did declare,
With oh so little flair,
That picking on him were the skeptics.

Now the point with which he had some confusion,
As the others tried to break the illusion,
Was that an open mind,
Should not make you blind,
To drawing your own conclusion.

Reading his strawmen in the other thread,
Where all sorts of things were said,
I have to agree,
It looks like it to me,
That enough straw he has to make his own bed.
