Aaron's Corollary

Unread postby Aaron » Mon 09 Jan 2006, 10:02:30

The moral decline in American culture can be measured as a function of the average age at which American children cease to believe in Santa Claus.

:)

Your Corollary?
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

1) That is a corollary of what? A corollary is a conclusion that comes as a particular case of a line of argument. Where's the argument?

2) Is it moral to cheat children?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Doly', '1')) That is a corollary of what? A corollary is a conclusion that comes as a particular case of a line of argument. Where's the argument?

Gee... I thought it was obvious...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'c')or·ol·lar·y (kôr'ə-lĕr'ē, kŏr'-)
n., pl. -ies.
A proposition that follows with little or no proof required from one already proven.
A deduction or an inference.
A natural consequence or effect; a result.


The declining morality of America correlates to the decline in the average age of kids who don't believe in Santa.

So, um, kids that believe in Santa at age 16 are more moral than 8 year olds who don't believe?

Sorry, I'm stoopid.


I almost forgot. My corollary (corrolary?):


The use of oil in America correlates to the number of people who are in psychodynamic psychotherapy.

There's also something called the Toyota Corrollary (Correlary?), but I haven't figured it out yet.
Peak oil = comet Kohoutek.

Aaron Corollary is quite a stretch from Adam Carolla.

But who cares, right?

Have you heard Carolla's talk show on FM radio? It's fairly interesting. It's like Stern Lite, minus Homeless Jeopardy. :P

Nope, David Lee Roth is suposed to start this week. Should be funny. Never listen to radio much only Coast to Coast every once in a while. Some folks dig watching Springer I dig Coast to Coast.

That's a cool trick considering that Picasso died 5 or 6 years before Home Depot was launched. I pointed this fact out to you last week and still you haven't droped this tagline. :roll:
