RE: 10 commandments of logic
Can someone explain why the fallacy "Begging the question" is called begging the question? I feel like this should be obvious to me, but...it ain't.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Any way you want to take it I like it.

Quote:The original meaning of begging the question comes from a bad translation of petitio principii, literally a request (or beg) for the premise, which explains this problem.

Very good OP although there are way more than ten logical fallacies
How ever the more that you know the better you can be in a debate
Even if you are just a passive observer you can still try to spot them
The worst debaters are those that have no knowledge of them at all
This is why one should have at least a basic under standing of them

Nice!

Two thingses:

* It's either "You shall" or "Thou shalt" though, no?

* I don't understand the wording of #4. What is wrong with accepting a premise as true? Isn't the problem only present if one of the premises trivially includes the conclusion and one hides that fact?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Assuming something is true and then seeing the ludicrous shit hemorrhage it leads to can be illustrative.  Mormonism springs to mind, unbidden . . .

I mean, commandment 0 is x=>y =/=> y=>x. Enough people screw that up as it is.
