This statement is given as an example of the fallacy "Wishful Thinking" in the book Attacking Faulty Reasoning: A Practical Guide to Fallacy-Free Arguments.

What is your opinion on this? Mis-categorized? Misunderstood?

like i stated in my last question-im not racist at all. so this is my question, and i would like an honest answer
why can every other color/culture or ppl have pride for them selves, black pride, brown pride, etc.... but if a white person wants to have "white pride" they are considered racist? example...that high school girl about 5 years or so back that wanted to have a club in her school to celebrate her pride-she was white-like the black and asian students had. the story hit the newspapers and she was deemed a rasisit ku klux klan member. why is this?

I'm a tall woman, and I'd like to go as a historical woman. (1950's or earlier)

I'm also brunette, and would prefer not to play a blonde, but I can adjust... I can't think of anything, and I'm usually quite creative!

Any suggestions?

I've been invited to a formal event, but the problem is I really don't have a clue about wearing formal clothing. Especially how high the trousers should be. You see, I normally wear very baggy clothing, which hangs loose, so it feels very awkward wearing trousers that are quite high. So, how high should they be, just below the navel, or what????

Even in the light of certain facts?

1) The bible wasn't compiled until 300 years after Christ died on the cross.

2) The man who compiled it WAS NOT Christian, murdered his family, and only supported Christianity for political purposes. This man was Constantine, the emperor of Rome.

3) There are over 30 books mentioned in the Bible that are NOT found in the Bible. If the prophets themselves mentionted these books , how can the Bible contain the wholeness of the Gospel? (Ex. Book of Samuel the Seer, Book of Nathan the Prophet, Missing Epistle of Jude (Jude 1: 3))

4) Men profess to know Christ but will not accept the obvious fact that HE WAS MARRIED. (Jesus was a Jew living in Jerusalem. If you study ancient Jewish culture, you see that Christ would NOT have been allowed to speak in public if he was a single man. Also, every time people in the NT refer to him as "Teacher, Master, Rabbi, Father, etc..." you should know that these titles were only used for MARRIED men.)

Some people don't realise that Seniors ask a variety of questions, because they have had a variety of experiences throughout their lives, have many interests and are not stuck in a one issue world.

This person is in a supervisory position although he rarely makes any decisions that his position requires. He has his own office and has been falling asleep in his chair on a regular basis. As a part-time employee who sometimes needs his assistance to complete my duties should I report him to his superior?? If so, what is an appropriate way to bring this topic up??

Medical and biomedical research is party based on evolution.

Should creationists be denied access to discoveries that depended on evolutionary biologists and their discoveries?

That was suggested in response to my last question, which asked what the differences are between those who worship and those who don't.

Your thoughts?

according to scientists, the earth was cosmically bombarded, causing it to be filled with fire...so how did clouds and micro-organisms generate from fire? and when did this last happen?...and where did these cosmic rays come from in the first place??

I'm asking this q here and not in the science section because apparently Science text books are atheists' bibles

Number of souls:

Someone posted a question asking what a bible verse meant, and my reply was something along the lines of "who knows, the bible passages are so messed up and twisted"
I got a violation for stating my opinion?
