Don't do that.  You're hoping to teach them to avoid the fallacies.  They think you are giving them additional methods to get their points across.

That is fine.  When they use them, I can discount their opinions.

The hardest part about those is getting people to understand that using a logical fallacy renders their whole argument involving the falacy void.

Careful, that sounds awfully close to being a...

Quote
the fallacy fallacy
Presuming that because a claim has been poorly argued, or a fallacy has been made, that it is necessarily wrong.

There are few things more frustrating than watching someone poorly argue a position one holds. Much of the time a debate is won not because the victor is right, but because s/he is better at debating than their opponent. If we're to be honest and rational, we must be mindful that just because someone made a mistake in their defence of an argument, it doesn't necessarily follow that the argument itself is wrong.

That's why I said void instead of wrong.

"Only an idiot would argue the sky isn't blue." is an ad hominem and renders the specific argument void, but doesn't make the sky green.

Yeah, it was oh so true. Always been a big Iron Man fan since the 1980s so I liked seeing the "objective reasoning" behind it. I have nothing against Batman but I remember Tony's alcoholism more over Batman's large rogues gallery. The thing about Tony's alcoholism (other than RDJ having lived that part of it) is that it cost him his relationship with Pepper, his company twice, and his access to his suit at least once. ... Although, as a friend of mine suggested, Batman's "kryptonite" is really Gotham where he can get laid out by a bicycle thief with a lead pipe but somehow away from "his city" he can dodge Darkseid's eye beams.

Not certain if this falls under video or not, but it should be worth mentioning... Mila Kunis Hot Gifs
