Thursday Fortnightly

We are doing Mille's again. The food is a little pricey, but the location is good for conversation and they let us stay way past close. Once again we will start with introduction and I will briefly explain the logical fallacy of the week. The logical fallacy will be the Straw Man Attack. The idea behind this is that rather than attacking someone's argument, you make a ridiculous version of their argument to attack. A good example of this is when someone say's that the theory of evolution calls for genocide. The term comes from when soldiers would train against straw-filled dummies. A much easier target to dispatch than a real enemy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
