You said:
"Neither argument is any good, the second is ridiculous. The purpose of presenting an online poll in this matter is mystifying."
But you don't bother to argue why they are not good, and why the second is ridiculous.
If you want a philosophical debate, the least you should do is to argue for your position.
Which is the correct information.The bit you dishonestly edited out of my reply wrote: You either don't understand what makes something an argument in a philosophical context, or what makes an argument valid in a philosophical context.
I am not here to teach you, the man who calls himself "philosopher" the absolute simplest basic thing in the whole of philosophy. The thing they teach on day one in any intro to philosophy course is literally what is an argument, and what gives them validity. You have Google for that. Or, you know, you could read a book about philosophy any time you want. All of the simplest books on the subject will start by explaining what you are failing to understand here.
