I guess this thread is as good as any other to point out that when you note a fallacy it is not necessary, when no longer doing so for a professor, to classify the fallacy. In fact all that does is make you look like an ass kissing student. A simple "that is not a good argument" or "maybe you want to reword your argument" will do.
Why waste time with "that is not a good argument" when you're going to be asked why it's not? Use the classification. Not to mention maybe, just maybe, the reader will look it up. Aim for precision and clarity, it's little extra work.
Evidently 151 thinks everything he learned in school should be left in school because it has no real-world applicability. So glad I didn't go through his "education" process.
I occasionally have conversations that go something like this: Me: That guy? He's a homophobe. Yokel: What's a homophobe? Me: A homophobe is someone who fears or hates those who are gay or lesbian. Yokel: Well, why didn't you say that?
Except that Jeremiah A. Wright stood on the Yellow Foot Prints just as you and i did. And then he Cross-Decked to become a Naval Corpsman. Who then was unfortunated enough to be at head of table as a cardiopulmonary technician in trying to reviev President Lyndon B, Johnson in 1966. Later he may have gone crazy....we don't know. Seems to happen to many men of that age and experience. Pat Robertson....born with a silver spoon....rich boy....TV and radio based blood sucker who fleeces widows and orphans to perpetuate his narcissistic fantasies. Other than that we total agree.
pathetic, again. Religious leader have no FIFO in any thing related to life... Don't judge Him, or you will be judge by Him. But always remember to search, if it's not a new type of High tech weapon... Always be looking, so what you are looking will appear... or called : Not on my Watch. There is no reason to restrict your freedom to think, imagine, and maybe discover as long as it's with in the rules...
Oh yeah...so full of hate. I mean spending the last 50 years of his life facilitating money, food, clothing, and water to those in need is someone so full of hate. And forget that humanitarian of the year award in 1982 he got. Humanitarians are generally so full of hate, arent they? Say what you will, a few days ago, most of you didnt give a flying fig about the Haitian people. 2 months from now, most of you will forget about what happened with the earthquakes there and go back to not caring. Pat Robertson will still be helping those in need, long after you have forgot about them. Everyone is a freaking humanitarian only if it makes the news, right?
