fur·tive (fûr t v)adj.
See Example: Roscoe's persistent refusal to answer questions posed to him. As above: "Do you, personally, believe that sodomy should be punished by the State?" Well, Roscoe? You raised the counter-example, therefore you assume advocacy for the contrary position. Since we're making our arguments from pop-culture references, allow me to quote from Bud Fox in Wall Street: Want to raise a counter-argument? Then assume advocacy, and state your position. Stake your claim. You can't. |
