Math is useless.

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Specifically, any form of multiplication. As you may know, it's impossible to create something from nothing, and therefore math isn't useful in any real life scenario. Why do they even teach it in schools?

7:15, and there's no math involved in reading a clock.

Yeah there is.

Reading ≠ Math

Nice bait: report and leave this guy to his povo ways.

That has nothing to do with reading a clock.

No, it's just that your underage is showing.
Your character forms the very foundation of your identity.
Why should we ignore this crucial information during an argument?
The ad hominem "fallacy" was invented by a dubiously-qualified Englishmen inside of
the seventeenth centurary and has only a limited function in proper rhetoric.
The cult of the ad hominem fallacy only benefits people of poor character who try
to hide their bad life decisions under the rug during an argument.
Would you accept a surgery from an untrained doctor? Is that ad hominem as well?
Your failure to understand would also be an indication of your age.
Your defensiveness over being called a 14-year-old also doesn't help hide that fact.
It only affirms it, and you avoided admitting it.

I'm not defensive over being called a 14-year-old, I was just trying to understand the logic behind how explaining to someone the definition of ad hominem would make you think I am 14, and frankly it's still unclear because your response has nothing to do with it.

Is it still unclear to you?
It's surface-level rhetoric that even the most naive and coy would know of.
Example: children, who were taught that bullying's wrong.

You still have yet to make it clear on whether or not you're 14.
It should've been a simple yes-or-no question.
It shouldn't take more than one post to answer.

No, it absolutely does.
While we're at it, lets get you acquainted with the definition of mathematics as well.

math·e·mat·ics
maTH(ə)ˈmadiks/Submit
noun
the abstract science of number, quantity, and space. Mathematics may be studied in its own right ( pure mathematics ), or as it is applied to other disciplines such as physics and engineering ( applied mathematics ).
the mathematical aspects of something.
plural noun: mathematics
"the mathematics of general relativity"

You're assuming that I'm at least as mature as a 14-year-old because I explained the definition of a "ad hominem" to somebody, which is why I'm questioning you rather than answering your question. Also, no, I'm not 14.

I mainly replied to that post because prior to that, you had to rely on crying against ad-hominem.
I've also repeatedly explained why I'd call you a 14 year old because of that.
So are you at least younger than 14? You have to be 13 to even use Steam, yet you've been
here for 5 years.

[AustrAlien2010]

Math has an application.

For example; if you want to construct a building, you have to calculate whether a material doesn't break under a certain amount of pressure, or people inside may die. Many people need mathematics for that.

I fear that the topic you posted, isn't well thought through. If you can do everything without math, that doesn't mean everyone else has the same amount of experience to do that.

I wasn't "crying against" it. You seem to be under the impression that I was offended by it, however I was merely pointing it out where I saw it.

But you don't use math, so how do you know how old you are?

[aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I was also defending myself when I was accused of using it by that guy who obviously didn't know what it meant, which is what you quoted when you called me 14 for whatever reason.

Well, 14 year olds are prone to be offended by ad-hominem.
They also really don't like math, and come up with excuses and pseudo-science.

i've been known to create something from nothing on mmo games when i really need to and that has nothing to do with math either.

the thing for me is that i'm really really poor at math, i never paid attention in school as a kid because back then i knew the education system was broken, so grades meant nothing. turns out that this is entirely true since i haven't had need of math at any point over the last decade and a half since leaving school.
