There. You're reading this AND revising fallacies at the same time. *beams*

P1: I am in Philo class.
P2: I am bored.

C1: Philo class is boring (Doubtful Cause)

C2: Students in philo class are bored (Hasty Generalization)

C3: Every single student who has ever been to a philo class felt bored (Unqualified Generalization)

C4: Take pity on me, Mr __, and let us off early for recess (Appeal to Pity)

C5: Philo class is like Universal Studios and the library and heaven and the stomach of cannibals, for all of them contain people. Therefore, they must be really really boring! (False Analogy)

C6: "Either pay attention, or leave." (False Dillema)

C7: Aletheia is not sane. Therefore, she cannot be trusted, so philo class must be ultra-fun! (Attacking the person)

C8: If this unrelenting boredom continues, I will yawn and then the sides of my mouth will split and it will hurt and blood will come up and the nearby vampires will be attracted to it and come and drink my blood, and then Edward Cullen will come to save me and I will die of the glittery-ness. Therefore, I need to leave. Now. (Slippery Slope)
