False Dichotomy
What is this? Please explain...
Re: False Dichotomy
A binary choice that is falsely conceived. For example, if I told you "you can choose between toast or eggs for breakfast," this would almost certainly be a false dichotomy because you have many more choices that just toast or eggs.

You can find the answer to such questions on any logical fallacy site or Wiki. Or just Google it.

Re: False Dichotomy
Oh, right. So it was easier to ask the question here and read the answers than Google 2 words and read those answers? Ok.

Re: False Dichotomy
OK, you caught me! I just wanted to post something. Is that OK? I'm sure that you've let other more inappropriate threads/posts slip through.

You enjoy pushing the boundaries with Dan a little too much.

I'm understanding him differently. It's almost like I'm me again, for some moments, but then... I have 2 different types of insanities and that just makes everything so much more... !!!!!!
