proposition 

Share definition Flag
Generally, a proposition is a statement, a sentence that makes a claim such as "This water tastes bad."

There are four kinds of propositions, labeled A, E, I, and O.
An 'A' proposition claims that "All A are P."
An 'E' proposition claims that "No A are P."
An 'I' proposition claims that "Some A are P."
An 'O' proposition claims that "Some A are not P."

Propositions are used in everyday language. A simple sentence can be a proposition. A proposition is labeled for the purpose of determining its validity, its truthfulness, against other statements in logical arguments when compared to other statements in that argument.

"This water tastes bad" would be an example of an 'A' proposition, because the speaker is including all of 'this' water in his claim.
A proposition: "A restaurant is not a clean place." "All cats are felines."
E proposition: "Not one smile is on any of their faces." "No cats are canines."
I proposition: "Some candy is sickeningly sweet." "Some cats are in the species called 'lion'."
O proposition: "Some days are not good days around here." "Some cats are not in the genus called 'Panthera'."

It isn't about the people
Hym "It's about the proposition. And how the fuck was I suppose to know what kind of response I would get? How is this NOT the exact opposite of what should have happened here? And people are using my fucking arguments. Why would mainstream public intellectuals USE ARGUMENTS THAT DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE YOU FUCKING GOMER! JESUS CHRIST! CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAIN TO HIM THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AND ARGUMENT AND AN ASSERTION!? You're just asserting that it isn't a problem and EVEN IF IT WAS A PROBLEM you wouldn't give a shit. Seriously, I was a 1400 WITHOUT being trained by the greatest chess players on the planet. Dumb. You want to bitch about what I'm doing but look at the fucking morons who are already popular!"
