38 Voices: Post hoc

http://38voices.blogspot.com/2008/12/post-hoc.html

Wednesday, December 10, 2008. Thecartoon above is a depiction of the definition for a post hoc logical fallacy. The caption explains that just because you continue to receive the desired result after you change something else it does not mean that the two variables are co-dependent. "You commit post hoc when you assume that A causes B simply because B has been observed to follow A.". Anyone with another example? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

38 Voices: Follow it!!!...or not.

http://38voices.blogspot.com/2008/11/follow-itor-not.html

Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Non sequitur is a logical fallacy taken from Latin meaning "is does not follow". It doesn't matter if the conclusion is true or false but rather the fact that the conclusion doesn't follow the premises in the way that makes all fallacies untrue or questionable. In a way all logical fallicies follow this. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Rasmussen Reports - Daily Presidential Tracking Poll. I wonder what theyll end up doing with all the ov.

38 Voices: Amendment 2

http://38voices.blogspot.com/2008/11/yet-again-gay-marriage.html

Thursday, November 13, 2008. The recent Amendment 2 campaign sparked many fallacious arguments, not the least of which is this line ( stated on the pro-2 website. When you create a same-sex marriage, you are simultaneously creating a same-sex family.". They used this argument as an incentive to vote yes, saying that it would protect children. However - not only do not all gay couples want children, but Amendment 2 itself has nothing to do with families. So I'd say this is a straw man. And it pisses me off.

38 Voices: what's the difference between supporting a woman candidate and a feminist candidate?

http://38voices.blogspot.com/2008/11/whats-difference-between-supporting.html

Friday, November 7, 2008. What's the difference between supporting a woman candidate and a feminist candidate? I don't support women candidates.

April 27, 2016. Update On Voter ID. In my last post I reiterated my opinion that there is no harm - and maybe some good - in requiring voters to have identification. But hardly had I posted it than I read Courtland Milloys interesting column, Obamas Dance Partner Cant Secure Photo ID. But then what about the other case Milloy mentions? Here again the ending was happy, if slightly delayed: the North Carolina DMV reconsidered and issued her the required photo ID in time for her to vote in last months prima...
