  • Using Gish gallop makes people look at you with wary eyes and ignore whatever you have to say, as the only people using this technique are zaelots without facts.

    You are intelligent enough to know what logical fallacies are in principle, and you can work on actually spotting them, and presumably at the core of you there’s a right thinking person somewhere. Do yourself a favour and step back a moment and think about the company you are keeping ideologically. And what hill you are deciding to fight on.













  • To please King Louis XIII.

    During the 30 year war, Croatian mercenaries fought alongside the King in battle. To keep their jackets tied they used a piece of cloth which King Louis XIII took a strong liking to. He made this smart scarf a mandatory accessory for royal gatherings. Paying homage to the Croats who introduced this scarf to him, he named it ‘La Cravate’, which is still the French name for the necktie today.

    Over the ages, the cravat has evolved into the modern necktie we wear today. Since their origins in military regiments, they have been a symbol of power and respect. Throughout the 19th century, they swept through the Western world. They were found in most universities, schools, sports clubs and gentlemen clubs.
