Max Shulman in "Love is a Fallacy" humorously explains these common fallacies of logic. Dicto Simpliciter, Hasty Generalization, Post Hoc, Contradictory Premises, Ad Misericordiam, False analogy, Hypothesis contrary to fact, and Poisoning the well .

Cool was I and logical. Keen, calculating, perspicacious, acute and astute—I was all of these. My brain was as powerful as a dynamo, precise as a chemist’s scales, as penetrating as a scalpel. And—think of it!—I only eighteen.

It can be a frightening experience, but there are several precautions that you can take to make the process run smoothly for you and the dispatcher.

Don’t just sit around complaining about the city and county employees! Apply for the positions when they become open! If you don’t qualify, go back to school and get educated enough to qualify. If you think you can do the jobs better, get off the couch and try the jobs. If it takes zero qualifications (as you say) to be a DFCS caseworker, go apply for that job! Read More...

Worth County, Georgia Anonymous writes:  
Everyone has a right to their own opinion however do we ever stop and think how others are going to be affected by that opinion. When did we stop caring how other people feel? Do we realize that by venting we could be really hurting the people we are venting about. Do we realize that their children, grandchildren, sisters, brothers, parents and friends are also reading the same comments as the people we’re venting about? Do we care that their grand children are getting picked on at school? Talked about daily?

Why do we seem to have so many flames on forums? Score: More about Read More...
Worth County, Georgia Kent writes:  
Here is a definition from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
"Flaming is the act of sending or posting messages that are deliberately hostile and insulting, usually in the social context of a discussion board on the Internet. Such messages are called flames, and are sometimes posted in response to flamebait. Flaming is said by some to be one of a class of economic problems known as The Tragedy of the Commons, when a group holds a resource (in this case, communal attention), but each of the individual members has an incentive to overuse it. Flamers usually call their flames justified attacks." Watch out for Trolls.

13 ways to spoil your child
Caryl Krueger
North County Times
So you had a hard childhood and now you want your own child to have everything and do everything you missed out on. Often, the pendulum swings and parents who had a strict upbringing feel the answer is to give their child as much freedom as possible. Research shows that this results in whiny, spoiled, even delinquent kids.

It can be enlightening to assess just how sloppy your parenting skills have become. Answer these telling questions with a "yes" or a "no."

No Fear: A Police Officer's Perspective

By Police Detective Robert Surgenor
“It took the help of five other police officer to assist me in getting the handcuffs on the fifteen-year-old boy who had just broken his mother’s nose, knocked his father to the floor, and thrown a table through the front window. As I compiled the information for the report, the mother indicated that they had lost control of the boy at an early age. Time-outs and groundings just never worked. When I asked the mother if they had ever tried spanking the boy when he defied their authority, she replied angrily ‘We don’t believe in spanking. Violence begets violence!’ I wondered if she realized how foolish she sounded.”
