Nonsense, your point was that if it didn't need to be done, then it wouldn't have been done. How is applying this to germany's invasion of poland any more "general" than what your own language described? You provided absolutely no qualifiers as to the scoope of the claimed principle of action ergo justification..
The claim itself was supported by nothing other than your bare conclusion that what you say is so, and your reply is simiilarly conclusory in its dismissal without showing how either the counterexample is inapplicable or explaining the basis for your assertion in the first place.
My point was in reference to the new deal and fdr. Nothing else. The claim that my claim should be utilized on a broader scale is using words and thoughts that I didn't say or think against me.

You said "it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't necessary", as if it was a universal fact that only necessary things happen. You still haven't given any other clarification as to what you meant by this even though I've asked you two or three times now.

What more needs to be said? In reference to FDR and new deal legislation, if it wasn't needed it would never have occurred. Even when talking about invading other countries, if it wasn't thought to be needed, it wouldn't have occured. People in power thought it was needed, so it occurred. People don't rate Hitler as one of the modern times greatest leaders, and it is obvious in hindsight that nothing that he did was necessary. On the other hand FDR is recognized as one of the greatest US presidents of all time, and the new deal was needed, so it happened. Just because you don't see or agree with someone else's need, doesn't mean it doesn't exist

I see you added a phrase. I highlighted it of you. I'm gonna let you figure out why it matters.Quote:

There may be idiots who don't know how much damage he did but there are quite few million who do. And the fact that New Deal happened and extended the Depression should be of interest.

If a logic is sound it always works. This is why the reductio ad absurdum works as a valid counterexample.
You've claimed that your logic only applies to a limited class of premises but yet you've not qualified your claim whatsoever nor explained by what rational the logic may be valid in the situation you propose yet invalid in the case of Poland's invasion.
All this is besides the point though, because you haven't proven your initial conclusion anyways: that 'it' would not have been done if 'it' wasn't necessary

i thought that logic needs to be valid to be true? rather than sound. for example: P1.Alaska is located below Oregon P2.Washington is located above Oregon. Therefore. Washington is located above Alaska
This is sound but not valid.

I concede the point: I was incorrectly using these terms in their general sense rather than as terms of art in logic/philosophy.
Hmm, that's twice you've proven me wrong in like a few minutes : )

I'm fine how are you? I was just making the point that those were not my words, and that I had copy and pasted the quote from a post on that page, which I linked you to

No, johnm214 is right. A sound argument is a valid argument whose premises are true. In this case, we have a (weakly) semantically valid argument based on false premises, so it is not sound, nor true.
