Insin's 12: A Debate Fallacy Guide

[drrty byl]

16: It is does not take moderate views into account.

Insin hain't even a grapple on the English language, therefore his points are invalid! (see 1, 3, 9 and 11)

Most people think DarthPika uses an endless cavalcade of fallacies to give his arguments merit, so he obviously does. ; )

I agree:

^ Agreed. I'm sick of arguing with people who use all 12 of those.

Almost ironic considering that when I read this list, I automatically start thinking of DarthPika's posts.

By the way guys those cookies were delicious. I just thought you should know.

In fact, whenever I reply to Darth's posts, I think I'll stick a link to this thread in my statement.

Lets not turn this into a bash DarthPika thread.

Hey, how dare you do what I do on a regular basis.

But it's like catching a fish in a puddle: too easy. Besides, given that most of your posts are bash-whatever-it-is-that-DP-dislikes-right-now posts, it's only fair.

Catching fish in a puddle is harder than you think.

I would reccommend a site called

changingminds. A list of fallacies. They have all kinds of dumb stuff people think and do on that website. My favorites include Availability Heuristic and Perceptual Salience.

Availability Heuristic- We make a judgment based on what we can remember, rather than complete data.
EX: I'm tellin' ya, almost every intersection I went through on the way here had a red light! (do you remember all the green lights you went through?)

Perceptual Salience- We tend to over-estimate the causal role (salience) of information we have available to us.
EX: I'm sure my friend who has been in a coma for 5 years will recover. I heard a story in the news about someone who recovered after being in a coma for 20 years. (there's a reason that was a news story- what about all the people who were in a coma for 20 years and didn't recover?)

What are you talking about? Every thread is a bash DarthPika thread.

Urge to sig, rising....

Bumping this old, old topic: even though it's old, it's still relevant to many of the issues we're talking about, and I hope a mod stickies it.

Alternatively, a mod or admin could start a new topic using ninetales's list, which is less concise, but far more detailed.

What about the fallacie in regards to unexplainable facts? Your mind tells you one thing, while your eyes tell you another. You can debate that all day, and, it will come down to what you interpret what you see to be valid or not, even in reason or with proof from self experiance of witnessing it for yourself.
