Fallacious reasoning
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
(Redirected from Logical fallacy)
Fallacious reasoning (or spurious correlation if you're a sociology faggot) is present in almost all IRC 'debates'.
It is also widely used by Children. It comes from Greek: reasoning = logos, fallacious = of or relating to phallus. Here are a few timeless examples to get you started
- Trees moves when the wind blows, therefore trees must cause the wind.
- People kill other people with guns. People will stop killing each other if we take away their guns.
- Joan Collins is famous, she's fucked a lot of people, she must be attractive/good in bed
- McDonald's is everywhere, a lot of people eat there, it must be a good place to eat.
- This dog keeps sniffing my crotch, it must be in heat, I should have sex with it
- I have no friends. I also own a hugbox. Therefore, I must have the ass burgers.
She's bleeding, she must be old enough(This is not fallacious)
