Excellent information!

When can we start using them?

Are we supposed to use them on every post?

I'm confused, now.

....Watch the ad homminim start.........

Point them out when someone uses one of those.

Rod, The reason I had an A in logic was because I had to prove to my instructor that if I failed to go to class, and break down sentences logically, identify fallacies,...he should fail me.

I had an in the final. I was failing for 2/3 of the way.

Since then, I try to avoid those fallacies from the prevoius site.

Who uses these fallacies:Advertisers, politicians, con artists,..

They know people are not logical like Mr. Spck from Star Trek.

The most common fallacy is the bandwagon:

Here and everywhere people say I am not a Christian because everyone who is Christian (99%)is a trinitarian (Catholics, Orthodox, Syrians, Copts, Protestants,...).

Well, in the days of Elijah, probably around 100 people or less worshipped Yahweh in the Kingdom Of Israel. 99% worshipped a calf or Baal.

Was Elijah wrong?

Of course not!!!

The Christian Yahwist

You all mean we can't use those examples? Aw, chucks!

Just when I was getting used to being called those things!

You guys realize I'm just kidding around, right?

You also realize that I have a problem with authority figures and rules, yes?

Do you also realize that my posts in this thread have not VIOLATED any rules and that kind of bugs me right now.
