Birds and feathers?

I always get in debates with teachers. In that case I would have said a plucked chicken. It’s still a bird, and he said nothing about the condition. But penguins do have feathers.

Well, first of all, you were correct. Penguins do have feathers. As did pterodactyls.

I myself have never heard of a featherless bird, but I’m sure there are some out there.

yea phrannie I know what he was talking about the lesson,he’s teaching us logistics,and converse,inverse and contrapositives but It’s just the bird thing that I’m interested in. And he didn’t ignore he was standing on the other side of the room when I mentioned that,and he knows I’m capable of acing his tests so he’s not worried about that I just want to know bout the birds

I don’t think your teacher was talking about a bird being prepared for dinner…LOL…

He’s trying to teach you something about Geometry, using a valid syllogism (not in geometric terms), to make it more understandable…

Trying to argue the syllogism (especially, with an untrue and obviously unresearched argument…”penquins have fur”)… isn’t going to do you any good when test time comes around…no wonder he ignored you.

phrannie

If you pluck out all of it’s feathers, it’s still classified as a bird. The teacher has a faulty syllogism, that’s all; it’s missing an additional step.

All Birds have feathers. An animal is not a bird if it doesn’t have feathers. Therefore, all feathered animals are birds.

Or something along those lines. Even though that’s still a faulty thing to say, albeit very radically…

lol sorry: slap happy uh I agree w/ it yor staement

all birds have feathers , just like us we have skin

I don’t know another bird without feathers but your geo teacher sounds like an idiot. :) haha
