101. Pardon for not citing, I was in a hurry
Edited on Thu Jul-24-08 11:05 PM by Thortin
You don't seem to grasp logical fallacies.

You assume premise A to be valid, it may or may not be. In this case I don't think you can call all MinuteMen racists. There are always exceptions and therefore the first statement is invalid. If the first statement is invalid then your whole premise is invalid. Whenever you make sweeping statements they are always invalid.

The order does not matter. The fact is that you draw an conclusion based on two premises that may not equal C. This is not math.

If you do not have any VALID data to support your assertions you are in fact wrong.

And you are using logical fallacies to support your point when you have no evidence.

Sputter and "fook" all you want, as another poster stated,

"You got nothing"

Go ahead, prove me wrong

As an asside.

Undistributed Middle



Description
All A is B. All C is B. Therefore all C is A.

B is assumed to cover all items in its category.
