"I am concerned, therefor I am right." The assertion that if one is coming from a position of concern (for the feelings of others, or a specific problem), then their conclusions must be viewed as credible.
1. The more time I spend online amongst atheists and atheists themed web sites, the more I understand that it is filled with intolerance, mockery, disdain and immaturity.
Every time I speak out against the arrogant attitude of many atheists, I'm simply written off as a troll or as a Christian. I've not come across a group of people, like the ' new atheists' who are so willing to so blindly follow their leaders anywhere they take them...except maybe the Christians and Muslims. A great bulk of the ' new atheists' time is spend mocking and belittling others, like they're a bunch of drunk frat boys having a laugh at someone elses expense. Anyway, that's how I see it.

Get the Great Falls mug.One of the basic logical fallacies is the reductive fallacy, or in Latin, 'reductum ad absurdum'. Basically means taking a normal argument to such a far extreme (reducing it in an absurd manner) as an attempt to try to say it is wrong.
Note this is a logical fallacy. Just because one can think of some far out case.

Get the reductive fallacy mug.River Falls is a small and agricultural town in Wisconsin, USA. The UWRF (University of Wisconsin, River Falls) is located in the center of town and many residents are either college students (who never look before they walk across the road) or elderly. Young couples wishing to raise families often move/live here because of its 'small town vibe'.
It has the Kinnikinnick River (AKA 'the kinni'), a prime spot for kayaking, fly fishing, and feeding the ducks with your kids.
Despite a sign at the entrance to town that says something about "an inclusive community", the one by the largest place to shop, Shop-Ko, River Falls is predominantly white. There are good/intelligent people of diverse races, but a lot of the non-whites (and a lot of the whites as well, most of which are of the younger generation) are uneducated buffoons.
There is a surprising lack of activities for the youth that live in town or go to school in town, other than sports (which not everyone loves), so many of them turn to drugs or other things for entertainment. Attempts to make good places for the youth of River Falls have mostly failed (such as the Hot Spot), which pretty much sucks.
However, the education system is pretty decent, except for a general dislike of administrators (particularly at the high school) and lack of snow days. There are lots of kids getting good grades and drug free (but without a doubt bored out of their minds).
