It's so logical

So what is Logical fallacy?

Logical fallacy properly refers to a formal fallacy: a flaw in the structure of a deductive argument which renders the argument invalid.

This fallacy comes in many forms

Ad Hominem

An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact.

Appeal to Authority

This fallacy is committed when the person in question is not a legitimate authority on the subject.

Appeal to Belief

This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because the fact that many people believe a claim does not, in general, serve as evidence that the claim is true.

Appeal to Common Practice

It is a fallacy because the mere fact that most people do something does not make it correct, moral, justified, or reasonable.

Appeal to Consequences of a Belief

The nature of the fallacy is especially clear in the case of Wishful thinking. Obviously, merely wishing that something is true does not make it true.

Appeal to Emotion

This fallacy is committed when someone manipulates peoples' emotions in order to get them to accept a claim as being true. More formally, this sort of "reasoning" involves the substitution of various means of producing strong emotions in place of evidence for a claim.

Appeal to Fear

This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because creating fear in people does not constitute evidence for a claim.

Appeal to Flattery

The basic idea behind this fallacy is that flattery is presented in the place of evidence for accepting a claim. this sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because flattery is not, in fact, evidence for a claim.

Appeal to Novelty

This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because the novelty or newness of something does not automatically make it correct or better than something older.

Appeal to Pity

An Appeal to Pity is a fallacy in which a person substitutes a claim intended to create pity for evidence in an argument. This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because pity does not serve as evidence for a claim.

Appeal to Spite

This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because a feeling of spite does not count as evidence for or against a claim.

Bandwagon

This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because peer pressure and threat of rejection do not constitute evidence for rejecting a claim.

Begging the Question

Begging the Question is a fallacy in which the premises include the claim that the conclusion is true or (directly or indirectly) assume that the conclusion is true.

Burden of Proof

Burden of Proof is a fallacy in which the burden of proof is placed on the wrong side. In many situations, one side has the burden of proof resting on it. This side is obligated to provide evidence for its position. The claim of the other side, the one that does not bear the burden of proof, is assumed to be true unless proven otherwise

Guilt By Association

Guilt by Association is a fallacy in which a person rejects a claim simply because it is pointed out that people they dislikes accept the claim.

Personal Attack

A personal attack is committed when a person substitutes abusive remarks for evidence when attacking another person's claim or claims. This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because the attack is directed at the person making the claim and not the claim itself.

Special Pleading

The person committing Special Pleading is claiming that he is exempt from certain principles or standards yet he provides no good reason for his exemption.

Straw Man

The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position.

Who needs logic?

This isn't a 9/11 topic.

But having said that, it's good that people become familiar with these, so that they can recognize them in threads. People use them all the time.

This site lists a good number of logic fallacies:

As you see its nowhere near complete maybe,you could help us out?

[edit on 3-6-2006 by Stateofgrace]

nice list, but....will not this kind of lists can go on for ever if you wish?
it's kind of a endless work!

How about real911.info?

It IS currently available for registration AND the ".info" IS a top level domain.

GoDaddy registration is ONLY $5.95 per year.

If you need help, I already have an account. I could register it for you NOW, and make the "push" when you're ready to launch.

Let me know either way!

BEST regards!

Stateofgrace, if that's your problem, then your problem is with incredulity of what's happening rather than facts.

But even here you're obviously not being fair, as I don't think anyone here is or ever has seriously suggested that the cast of the Flight 93 movie was in on it.

There was and is an ongoing cover-up involving heads of agencies and corporate entities, yes, but asserting that we believe half of that b.s. is called a straw man attack. Maybe you should read up on your own thread.
