Logical Fallacies And You!

Would that not be a logical fallacy?

Nope!
Just a comical quip.
I don't actually know if tall and athletic is Honhenheim's type.

:)

Is it really comical if no one laughs?

I have nothing against your communication style, just know that it leaves an avenue for people to poke fun. In differentiation, there is teasing. I know full and well this with my opinion of faith. It differs from quite a few people here, and I am the brunt of opposition at times.


I'll take what attention I can get : )

It could be.

Is it comical that I (literally) lol'ed to this statement?

Step one to being a good comedian: know your audience

aka "the pat yourself on the back" questioning tactic.

I'm definitely aware that some users here are "turned off" by my communication style. I'm equally as "turned off" by "no u", "lolwut", "OP is fgt", and "fap fap fap".
Turnabout is fair play, and if one can't take the heat, one should stay out of the kitchen.
Since I've stayed here, clearly I can take the heat. If people want to tease me, have at it, but don't expect me to take it lying down.

I find nothing amusing about his inference that just because a gay man agreed with another man, he was hitting on him. Did you?

Hohenheim hits on me all the time.
Why do I see you making verbal war all the time?
:P

Actually, now that I considered this for a moment longer, it's rather appropriate for this thread, since it's a fine example of a loaded question.

Whether I answered "yes" or "no", I would be admitting that what I said wasn't comical, which was Angelkiss's intent.
The only "defense" against a loaded question is to answer neither "yes" or "no". Hence, I replied "it could be".

Thanks for the example, Angelkiss!

You obviously don't read all I post =/

@ Elana- You are welcome :)

No one answered me :(

Brane hurtz

Question was?

the question to elana? or?
Okay, not all the time.
But it does seem quite often that you are in a combative state.

lol..okay?

"Have you ever cheated on your girlfriend?" is a loaded question, isn't it? Implying you have a girlfriend?

Incoming sarcastic, obligatory, sexist remark

Depends on the situation. If it has already been stated that said person has a girlfriend, no. Could it be used as a loaded question on the premise that it infers there is a girlfriend? Yes

Nah, Angelkiss, take off your bias-shaded glasses.
I quipped because it wasn't until Daemun announced his height/weight and "athletic build" that Hohenheim chirped in to take a (weak) shot at me, by de facto calling me an ***.

Not to make this personal, but (quite a while ago) I had taken sides with Hohenheim in some debate in these forums, when he was on the losing side of the argument, and I tried to help restore some respectability to his side. I wasn't looking for his thanks or admiration; at that point all I knew was he was some dude that had a decent opinion, but was getting lambasted unjustly in the forum here.
Not long after, I was involved in some other debate and Hohenheim wasn't initially involved, but he decided to chime in, directly insulting not only my opinion on whatever topic, but also insulting me in the process.

So much for gratitude, eh?
Anyways, since then, Hohenheim sporadically chirps into threads that I'm involved in, and he typically has nothing interesting, relevant, or nice to say. Up until today, I've basically ignored him. But frankly I'm sick of it, so I made a light-hearted quip at him in this thread. No need to get your panties in a bunch, Angelkiss.

Would you like me to apologize to Hohenheim? Would that make you feel better?

And I am the combative one trying to engage in verbal war? lol..

/slides out of the thread

Edit: The comment of the panties being in a bunch is a logical fallacy. You assume I wear panties.

=)

Of the last 3-4 women I have dated, I never assume a woman wears panties.

No, it is not a loaded question.
However, it does presume a context where it's been established that the listener has (or had) a girlfriend, yes.

I worded the example that way in comparison to the previous example "Are you still cheating on your girlfriend?", which IS a loaded question.

more of a cultural implication.

continuation of informal logical fallacies:

Non Causa Pro Causa:


Correlation does not imply causation esentially I do believe.
Damn it's busy here at work today.
I'll add more on this one later.

One-Sidedness
Red Herring Fallacy
Special Pleading
Vagueness
Weak Analogy

Hmm, okay, thanks.

One in which is easily defeated if the addressee is on their toes. Of course I would presume most loaded questions are aimed to trap people who aren't
