Osama Bin Laden's WORTH         


Author: wisdom812

It is curious to me how anyone may think Osama Bin
Laden is worth $50 million!

Allah would say that Bin Laden is worth LESS than the
sweat off the excrement of a swine that had been urinated on by a
camel. This caveman is responsible for allot of deaths !!

You need to attend to your usage of the term worth, for it seems that
your changing the meaning at different places in the same argument,;
equivicator.

Fallacy of four terms

The fallacy of four terms (Latin: quaternio terminorum) is the logical
fallacy that occurs when a categorical syllogism has four terms.

Valid categorical syllogisms always have three terms:

Major premise: All fish have fins.
Minor premise: All goldfish are fish.
Conclusion: All goldfish have fins.

Here, the three terms are: "goldfish," "fish," and "fins."

How many will die, in the attempt to catch him?

If they can't do so, what makes "them" think they can eradicate what he
stands for?

I believe if you add up all the deaths he would not be the winner.

Do you attribute to him every death by every terrorist everywhere?

Also, do you think in terms of 'good' deaths and 'bad' deaths, meaning, if
good guys are killed that is a bad death, if bad guys die, then it's good?
If so, do only bad deaths count?

I don't think we could even estimate what he is worth. It could be said
to be nothing now.

Still it is interesting to speculate how much would a TV company pay for
an exclusive interview with him?
