Method to streamline critical thought discovered

by Adam Mustain, Public Affairs Reporter
The OshWatch 


Philosophy professors at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh today annouced that they have discovered a new way of constructing arguments.


The method, still technically in development, allows an individual to make up his or her mind up about an issue first, followed by research to back up that specific opinion.  This is in sharp contrast to the previous method, which involved comparative studies and historical analysis to reach a conclusion.


"With this discovery, we can skip all of that busy work and set right out to find other peoples' opinions that support our own," said David Gilboa, a political philosophy professor.  "Using the Internet, we're talking 10 minutes, tops."


In the past, Gilboa said, proper logic and research required reflection and actual consideration of alternative possibilities.  The new method saves time and frees the mind from critical thinking, allowing more time to watch For the Love of Ray J and other VH1 programming. 


Although new to the academic field, the method has reportedly been used for decades by politicians and talk radio hosts.  It has also recently gathered an impressive loyal following with online bloggers. 


"This is a truly exciting discovery," Gilboa said. "No longer do I have to waste my time with a bunch of useless concepts, theories and facts."

Apparently, the duct tape, or any other tape, suffocates the
wart as it cuts off oxygen and alloww the body's immune system to kill the wart. Individuals who have suffered with acne look forward to the day when they can look in the mirror and see skin that is pimple and blemish-free. Others think tanning and sunning themselves will dry up their skin and pimples to eliminate their acne.

When you have chosen your plastic surgeon, schedule a consultation
so that you can get a better idea of what the procedure entails.

Water, suction, laser, massage and now there is
the electric muscle inspiration. Activity and healthy diet will help one retain firm skin tone but it
can’t guarantee that cellulite won’t appear.
