    The Cure for Human Stupidity

    http://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/

    I beg you, please help everyone over the age of three understand these. I suspect at least 99% of all of humanity's troubles exist as a direct result of a lack of understanding of them.

    Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done, because I am living proof otherwise.

    A plane will take off if its on a conveyor belt. I can't believe it was a common enough question and enough stupid people couldn't figure it out by thinking about the physics...
    But I'm not sure if your post was sarcastic or not... No offense intended!

    A true Scotsman would sell you a device that was capable of making a plane fly on a conveyor belt. At least he would say that it could.

    thanks for this. . .

    a valuable public service you have provided here.

    some members in this forum would see their post count disappear overnight if they couldn't use logical fallacies, lol.

    I use all of these at various times depending on my audience. They work really well on people who have trouble comprehending the actual truth. I'm in sales and sometimes these come in handy

    I believe the correct insult is "your ugly", not "you're ugly". I mean all I ever see is "your ugly" so it must be true, right? MY UGLY WHAT, DAMNIT? SPECIFY!

    I tried. Can't be done. Besides, I insulted his momma, who presumably isn't a member.
