I have been soundly thrashed by the dual genius of Advocate and Trajik Logik here. So now I am swapping sides to be with the smart kids.Today we will solve the problem of there being no wood for trees, or trees for woods...

If there is a wood then there are trees, ergo you can only see the woods if you can see the trees .... The no wood for trees problem solved!!!!!

Tune in next week to see us take down the definist fallacy be defining stuff not to be fallacious.

If I had written that post without underlining the sarcasm, at least 3 idiots would have argued about it quite seriously.

I solved the problem of equivocation.
It's not a fallacy.
Either you meant X.
Or you meant Y.

Some people believe in the non sequitur fallacy, but really they just aren't smart enough to see that there is no such thing. Here is an example:

All dogs are named Joe.
My uncle is named Joe.
Therefore my uncle is a dog.

You can clearly see that the third sentence does follow the first two, because it's below them.

What about transvocations, which were identified as XX at birth but which now feel more like XY?

Naming the birds and feeling bad about them is the nominalist fallacy. We can get rid of the woods, no problem. There are no birds.
There I solved two fallacies. Yours and the tree thing.
Yay.

FSP is part of nature.
His posts exist and are a part of nature.
Therefore you are engaging in the naturalistic fallacy.
You found something in nature,
so it is good.
But it's actually good cause it's cool.
And if it wasn't cool then it would be bad.
Yay.
I solved the naturalistic fallacy using your post.
Double Yay.

All these problems solved!! :D

So you're saying you date dead people? Now I know why you're such an irritable little dick - you haven't had a real woman in your life. Your own mom doesn't even love you because she never taught you how to behave like a rational human being.
