Fallacies

Hasty Generalization: Brad didn't apologise after he stepped on my foot, he just walked away. Brad is a total douche.

Stereotype: He's British, he must like tea, talk funny, and have bad teeth.

Cause and Effect: When I pointed at my front door, the doorbell rang. Therefore, I'm magical.

Only Cause: We will eliminate obesity by not eating fast food.

False Analogy: Beating this team is as important assassinating Hitler.

Attacking the Person: There's no way we're listening to Jim's directions, he got lost in his own hometown!

Either-Or: Either eat all of what I gave you, or you're not eating at all.

Non-sequitur: I can't talk, there are no carrots in the house.

Circular Reasoning: He's amazing at all sports yet he never gloats. He should get all A's.

Begging the Question: Well, duh it waz sold outtt, Twlight<333 is teh besttt moviie EvErrrr!!!!(<~~notice the obnoxious instant message language and the sarcasism)
