Thats a Fallacy

I'm not much of a student of philosophy but a little never hurt. With this in mind, there are certain standpoints or points that people use when arguing a particular subject or perhaps defending it. Now this is definitely part of arguing defending your point but you must do it in a logical manor. That brings up the meat and potatoes of this blog. A logical fallacy is something that a person uses to argue or convince their point of view. If maybe your lost or I'm not explaining it good an example would the fallacy called, 'The Straw man". This is basically when someone brings up weaker example of ones point so he/she can get an edge on the argument. That's a logical fallacy. Another popular fallacy would be an Ad Hominid attack. A classic example of this would be, "Well you're just too closed-minded to understand the point. Meaning, attacking the person instead of the topic at hand. There are many more fallacy than these. They can make everyday conversation a little more interesting. They might give you a little edge if you get in an argument with someone. If you would like to know more cause my rambling wasn't clear go to Wickipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.
