When did it become a sinful thing to point out logical fallacies used in the opposing arguments? Suddenly it seems acceptable to slander a person just for being smart and and having the stronger opinion in a debate. Logic is not meant to be offensive, people. Don't attack those who wield it better than you.
That's the problem with logical fallacies though, even though they are fallacies they are still logical. lol, it's the illogical fallacies that make me scratch my head.....it's like, ummm why do you get mad and choose to defend this subject even though it's obviously been proven false or indefensible and there is no possibly way you could not KNOW this by now. lol. I don't feel like I'm smarter than the other person in situations like that though, I just count myself blessed that I have never been susceptible to that kind of blind indoctrination. It's something I don't understand. It's probably why Hitler had so much success, people don't think.
"How fortunate for leaders that men do not think."
Adolf Hitler
"The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force."
Adolf Hitler
Unfortunately, he does have a point there.
