Middle-ground fallacy

The mistaken belief that the truth lies somewhere in between to opposing propositions.

Man "It's the women!"

Woman "It's the men!"

Sophist "Well... *Insert middle-ground fallacy*"

Hym "Wrong! I can prove it! By asking a simple question: What is the selection criteria? If it is 6ft tall (14.5%), Six figure salary (17%), 6 inch+ dick (16%) and we omit overlap and assume women are willing to settle for 1 out of the 3, we have only 47% of men who can meet the selection criteria. If THAT is what constitutes 'The best man available' (in the context of hypergamy) AND if we assume that Jordan is correct in saying that they should all just get married and start a family, What are the OTHER 53% of women supposed to do? For that to work, over HALF the women STILL have to CHANGE THEIR SELECTION CRITERIA. What then? How is that supposed to work? The women don't WANT to do it and are TOLD NOT TO BY PARENTS WHO WANT THEM TO HAVE THE BEST PARTNER AVAILABLE. The men who have overlapping qualities don't have to do it so their opinions are unlimited. And here we are...

What can men do about any of that? 'Try your best!'? 'Strife nobly into the dawn!'?Only 17% of the men CAN have jobs that pay 6 figures or more because THERE ARE A FINITE NUMBER OF JOBS THAT PAY THAT MUCH. What, do you expect them to increase the pay rate of a broader number of job to 6 figures? McDonald's cashier 100,000 a year. Then you can finally get a girlfriend. The other 2 are a roll of the dice. How is it at all men's fault? What is the selection criteria? Broadly? And that middle-ground fallacy applies to the schizophrenia thing too! It's not a matter of 'well, maybe it's a little of both'. At this point it's 'yeah, they're doing the thing they are doing and they have been doing it for years, and now I'm hyper-vigilant about it so I'm looking for it everywhere!' I don't claim to be right all of the time about it. And as a thought experiment I respond to things as though they were said to or about me. But that's not the same!"

Bernards Middle School

Home of the oldest living fossil, known as the famous smurf Laspada. Bernards has the best pizza around, Lennys. Buona pizza can blow me thrice. There are three categories of nards, The boomer nards that have lexus’ and can’t drive right, The Mexican Nards that are here for s good time and not for a long time, and the business owners. Nobody knows the mayor of bernards, and nobody gives a shit. If you don’t have a black addidas hoodie, you aren’t a nard. We have like 3 black people, so the N word pass is safe with them. Bernards Bitches be phlat as hell, just date someone at ridge. Oh yeah, good luck with bedminster freshmen.

“You from bernards?”
“Yeah!”
“great now suck me off”
Bernards Middle School- Home to beginner heroin junkies.

Northbridge Middle

A school in which There is drug trafficing more trafficing constant cases of assalult and harassment, drug trafficing and fights. Brutal fights. Not to mention the pupils are constantly making out and hooking up, and getting into relationships too young. Its not like their mormon. over all this school needs major but i think it all comes down to one problem, liberals. Think about it, the liberals let ppl in and out or border with drugs which responds to my problem with drug trafficing. as for assault and harrasment, well look no further then Bill Clinton, harrasing people sexually. As for relationships too young thats their parents problem, a majority of which are in fact liberal. I would never let my daughter get into a relationship middle school age and im a conservative so liberals are the problem and have to go.

At Northbridge middle heroin can be bought in 32oz mayo bottles if you ask the cafeteria workers in the correct way

Mountain View Middle School

Mountain View is where all the loudest, most annoying, god-forsaken kids are. You'll find 3-4 exceptions but other than that, you question what the parents did during pregnancy to make them come out like that. Not only the kids but the staff too. 99.99999%of the time, the teachers and staff suck so bad, you wonder what traumatic event happened as the only explanation of how they turned out. The other 2 people are fine.

John: Brian...... I have to go to Mountain View Middle School
Brian: My condolences
