Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan's Vulcan Logic Course Episode 4: Fallacy Friday

Hello this is logic teacher Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan and welcome to Fallacy Friday!
Appeal to Majority (Argumentum ad Populum) (a.k.a. Appeal to the People or Appeal to Popularity)

Definition: An informal logical fallacy in which the arguer uses popular or even majority opinion to prop up their conclusion.  This is fallacious because popular or majority opinion does not necessarily prove the conclusion to be correct, especially since there are actually times when the majority is wrong.

Sample: "Just about everybody loves Halo and that is proven by the fact that Halo gets the "Game of the Year" award.  That means that Halo is glorious."

The fact that the majority of people like Halo or that Halo gets a "Game of the Year" award does not necessarily prove that Halo is a good game.  Halo is still a known form of military propaganda.

Appeal to Numbers (Argumentum ad Numerum)

Definition: An informal logical fallacy in which the arguer uses larger numbers to support their conclusion.  This is fallacious because bigger numbers does not necessarily prove the conclusion to be correct.

Sample: "You have to admit that Halo is a better video game than Star Fox because it is proven by the fact that Halo has a lot more sales than Star Fox.  Just look at the sales of Halo as compared with those of Star Fox."

The fact that Halo has many more sales than Star Fox does not necessarily prove that Halo is a better game than Star Fox.

Appeal to Authority (Argumentum ad Verecundiam)

Definition: An informal logical fallacy in which the arguer uses their own authority and/or someone else's authority to exempt their conclusion from any criticism or scrutiny.  This is fallacious because the stated authority does not necessarily prove the conclusion to be correct.

Sample: "The most acclaimed game reviewers all agree that Halo is the best game ever, so that proves that Halo is the best game ever made."

The fact that top game critics praise Halo does not necessarily prove that Halo is a great game because in reality it is a dangerous game that bamboozles people into going to war.

Accident

Definition: An informal logical fallacy in which the arguer applies a general rule to an atypical specific case to which it does not apply.  This is fallacious because applying a general rule to an atypical specific case to which it does not apply does not necessarily prove the conclusion to be correct.

Sample: "You should respect and be nice to people, if I say that Star Fox turns people into furverts and should be banned in the name of Halo, then you should respect me and be nice to me.."

The Halo goon is applying a general rule of respecting and being nice to people with different opinions to a specific case in which he is trying to censor a video game that he hates just for inspiring a people that he hates.  Saying that you should respect a bigot like that furry-phobic Halo goon is fundamentally incorrect.

Ad Hoc Reasoning

Definition: A logical fallacy in which the arguer after his argument has been defeated looks for things that they could use to make their beaten argument appear valid.  The is fallacious because making a defeated premise appear valid does not change the fact that it is already invalidated.

Sample: "The story of Halo is deep and is in great detail, you are missing out on the story of Halo that still proves that Halo is the better than Star Trek.  Please read the great story of Halo in Halo books and on Halo websites."

The Halo goon was desperately trying to claim that the story of Halo disproves the fact that Halo is a colossal gaming advertisement for the war machine.

Slippery Slope (a.k.a. Camel's Nose)

Definition: An informal logical fallacy in which the arguer states that one  little thing that disagrees with them will inevitably set off a chain reaction leading to disaster.  This is fallacious because such chain reactions from taking a "first step" that disagrees with them are unlikely.

Sample: "All criticism of Halo must stop.  If you keep bashing Halo, then the furries will start yiffing in public.  If the furverts yiff in public places, then we will become more vulnerable and eventually we will be wiped out by enemies.  And then it will be a Stalinist totalitarian dictatorship.  Is that what you want?"

The said chain reaction that the Halo goon had predicted will never happen since it is impossible anyway.  It is just a desperate bid by the Halo goon to silence the uncomfortable truth about Halo.

Hasty Generalization

Definition: An informal logical fallacy in which the arguer draws a general conclusion from atypical specific cases.  This is fallacious because the general conclusion does not necessarily apply to specific cases.

Sample: "Everybody who wants to save Earth from attack by otherworldly enemies; including from Drej, all love Halo."

The Halo goon failed to recognize that there are some people who are against the concept of spaceships destroying Earth are also against Halo.

Prejudicial Language

Definition: An informal logical fallacy in which the arguer uses favorable terns for what they like and unfavorable terms for what they dislike to put moral goodness to their conclusion.  This is fallacious because using good terms for one's likes and bad terms for one's dislikes does not necessarily prove the conclusion to be correct.

Sample: "Patriotic defenders of Planet Earth all agree that Halo is the bomb, only Star Fox furry NOOBS disagree."

The Halo goon claim about how defenders of our planet should like Halo and that only Star Fox-loving furries hate it is quite derogatory and also based on hasty generalization and does not prove at all that Halo is a great game.

Appeal to Tradition (Argumentum ad Antiquaintium)

Definition: An informal logical fallacy in which the arguer states that their conclusion is correct because it has lasted for so long.  This is fallacious because the fact that the conclusion has lasted for generations does not necessarily prove it correct.

Sample: "People have always had wars for millenia, so war will be the answer and Halo is a great blueprint for our future."

The fact that war has gone on for many centuries does not necessarily mean that war has to continue into the far future.  And it definitely does not prove that Halo is a good blueprint of our future since it is clearly not.

Appeal to Pity (Argumentum ad Misericordiam)

Definition: An informal logical fallacy in which the arguer tells the persuadee of their pitiful state in an effort to get them to accept the conclusion.  This is fallacious Because the pitiful state of the arguer does not necessarily prove the conclusion to be correct.

Sample: "Stop telling me about how harmful you think Halo is; it is not true and I had the flu last month and now have a bed bug infestation, Halo is the best."

The pitiful state of the Halo goon having the flu in the prior month and having bed bugs does not necessarily prove that Halo is the best.

Appeal to Fear

Definition: An informal logical fallacy in which the arguer uses fear to get the persuadee to accept the conclusion.  This is fallacious because using fear does not necessarily prove the conclusion to be correct.

Sample: "There is a high terror alert, so if you want to survive that terror alert, then support the military industrial complex and you must play Halo."

The Halo goon was using the fear of terrorism to justify supporting the war machine and that his persuadee must play Halo.

Appeal to Consequences (Argumentun ad Consequentiam)

Definition: An informal logical fallacy in which the arguer states that there will be unfavorable consequences to accepting a certain position that disagrees with them.  This is fallacious because the said consequences are not necessarily the same as the actual consequences of accepting the position that the arguer disagrees with.

Sample: "You better like Halo or you are an agent of otherworldly invaders."

The said consequences of helping alien invaders that is predicted by the Halo goon are certainly not the same as the actual harmless and helpful result of not liking Halo.

Appeal to Force (Argumetum ad Baculum)
meaning argument of the "stick" or the "CUDGEL"!

Definition: An informal logical fallacy in which the arguer threatens the persuadee that unpleasant consequences will follow if they disagree with the conclusion.  This is fallacious because the threat of force does not necessarily prove the conclusion to be correct.

Sample: "Star Fox Furry, I order you to stop liking Star Fox and switch to Halo, and stop being a furvert you NOOB!  If you disobey me, I will pour lighter fluid in your bed and have you yiff in lighter fluid!"

The Halo goon's threat of pouring lighter fluid in a furry's bed does not necessarily prove that Halo is good or that Star Fox is bad.

Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan's Vulcan Logic Course Episode 3: Moving the Goalposts!

Hello this is logic teacher Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan and welcome to another episode in my Vulcan Logic Course.  Previously I talked about the Halo Empire's top two favorite types of logical fallacies which are the Ad Hominem and the Straw Man.  In this post I will be talking about a form of CHEATING known as Moving the Goalposts!

Definition: A logical fallacy that changes the standards of proof once their opponent has met the original standards of proof to claim that their opponent has not proven anything.  This is not only fallacious; it is a form of CHEATING, and therefore unfair.

Sample: "You have been educating me on logical fallacies but that should not apply to science fiction.  So you have not proven that Halo is bad by pointing out my so-called fallacies or by showing me a video about its supposed ties to the Pentagon."

A Halo goon had clearly lost the debate with his Star Trek opponent so in a desparate bid to claim victory, the Halo goon suddenly changed the standards of proof to claim that their opponet did not prove anything when in fact they did.

Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan's Vulcan Logice Course Episode 2: BEWARE of the Straw Man

Hello this is logician Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan and welcome to another episode of my Vulcan logic course.  Lat time I talked about the Personal Attack Fallacy in all of its forms and in this post I will be talking about the Straw Man Fallacy.  The Straw Man is the second most popular logical fallacy among Halo goons after Argumentum ad Hominem.

Definition: An informal logical fallacy that distorts and/or oversimplifies and opponent's position and/or argument and later claims to heroically beat their opponent in a debate.  This is fallacious because distorting things does not constitute addressing one's opponent's points as they were intended to be discussed.

Sample: "Avatar is anti-human race and pro-aliens while Halo is rightfully pro-human race.  Loving Avatar and hating Halo is like us wanting to be invaded by otherworldly enemies, and I will not allow that to happen as long as we can fight."

As you can see the Halo goon totally distorted the meaning of James Cameron's Avatar to the hilt just to justify his sick notion that Halo is glorious.  He did not address a single point that his opponent made as to why Avatar is better than Halo up front, he chose to twist that rational argument to death.

Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan's Vulcan Logic Course Episode 1: The Personal Attack Fallacy

Hello, this is Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan for the first post in my excellent Vulcan Logic Course about the various types of logical fallacies used by Halo goons to defend the Halo Empire against rational criticism.  The topic of this post will have to be the Personal Attack Fallacy (Argumentum ad Hominem) because it is the Halo goons' all-tine number one favorite logical fallacy to use when faced with criticism of their beloved "game of the year" Halo.

Ad Hominem is a family of logical fallacies that involve personal attacks against their opponent and without addressing even a single point that their opponent has made.  This is fallacious because personal attacks against one's opponent do not constitute addressing their actual points.  This particular type of logical fallacy is so popular with Halo goons since they just about have no good arguments of their own and are desperate to promote their sick cause.

Ad Hominem Abusive

Definition: The second arguer heaps verbal attacks such as name-calling and profanity upon the first arguer without addressing their points.

Sample: "Halo is the Game of the Year and Star Fox yiffs.  I don't care what you have to say you Star Trek nerd, go play your fruity tendo games for all I care!"

Proof: The Halo goon heaped verbal attacks upon their opponent and as you can notice they did not address even a single point made by their opponent.

Ad Hominem Circumstantial

Definition: The second arguer attacks the circumstances of the first arguer without addressing their points.

Sample: "Of course you don't like Halo because you are a wussy furvert."

Proof: The Halo goon was attacking the fact that their opponent was a furry and against did not address a single point that they made.

Poisoning the Well

Definition: A form of ad hominem circumstantial in which the second arguer presents unfavorable information (true or false) about the first arguer to discredit anything that they may say.

Sample: "I don't care what you have to say since you are anti-patriotic and anti-American."

Proof: The Halo goon was presenting unfavorable information about their opponent in a desperate bid to defend Halo; and in this particular case, the unfavorable information was largely false.

Ad Hominem Tu Quoque

Definition: The second arguer tries to make the first arguer appear hypocritical to discredit anything that they say.

Sample: "You are making a stance that I should not attack Star Trek, but you say bad things about Halo all of the time."

Proof: The Halo goon was making their opponent appear far more hypocritical than they actually are and did not address even a single point that was made about Halo being war propaganda.

I will make more posts in this Vulcan Logic Course series and next time I will be talking about Halo's second favorite logical fallacy of all time, the Straw Man Fallacy.  If you are reading this post, please never ever use any ad hominem fallacies or else I will not take you seriously.

April Fool's Day

Hello, this is Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan and today is April Fool's Day!  Today I am going to tell a funny fan fiction story of an anti-Halo nature of course.  This will be partly inspired by the conclusion of the Star Trek TOS Episode "The Way To Eden" in which the plants on the Eden planet were made of acid.  I call those acid plants "Halo Plants" and the acid flowers that burned Chekhov "Halo Flowers".  The fruit on that Eden planet is called "Titan AE Fruit" since it is so poisonous that it kills you with only one bite into it.  I HATE Titan AE for a variety of reasons, one of which is the needless destruction of Earth.  Gene Roddenberry would have hated Titan AE too.

Our story opens when Pavel Chekhov is on a pier getting aroused by a flashy Colo Claw Fish.  Chekhov and the Colo Claw have a conversation since they are friends.  The Colo Claw asked, "Chekhov, You and Scotty both crack me up, but I want to know, how is that your Star Trek is able to stand up and not crumble in the face of Halo which is a far more powerful adversary?  I sense terrible readings in which you might need help in order to carry on."  Chekhov answered, "We have allies such as Star Fox who help us when things get really drastic, we are very inclusive and that helps us to reach out for help when we need it.  Yes something terrible is happening to us, you got that one right.  Even as we speak, Star Fox is helping us right now."  The Colo Claw replied with concern, "Chekhov, I still have a really bad feeling about this, even with help from allies like Star Fox, you are still getting hammered by the battle hardened cosmic armadas of the Halo Empire.  Maybe Star Wars can assist, which would probably be your only hope for overthrowing that war-addicted and military-obsessed sci-fi empire known as Halo.  It disgusts me that Halo frequently receives the Game Of The Year Award."  Chekhov responded, "Colo, Star Trek and Star Wars have a long history of hating each other, I am not sure that will work out.  At times, Star Wars has given Star Trek a hard time, frequently so."  The Colo Claw stated, "I know of the Star Trek and Star Wars rivalry, but the more I think about it, the more frivolous and silly it becomes.  I know that this will be hard on you guys, but you got to hear me out.  The real enemy of Star Trek is not Star Wars, it is Halo which threatens to militarize the entire space genre, I am calling for Star Peace."  Chekhov added, "Colo Claw, you are right and have a good point, the Star Trek council will consider your proposal of joining forces with Star Wars and will probably rule in your favor due to the fact that Halo is breathing down our necks."  The Colo Claw said, "Please contact the Star Trek high council and inform them of my proposal so that they can vote on it as soon as possible."  Chekhov called the Star Trek high council to inform them of a Colo Claw Fish's proposal for peace between Star Trek and Star Wars in the face of the Halo wrath.

Meanwhile, I mysterious figure carried a vase filled with peculiar yellow flowers as he approached Chekhov on the pier.  The guy did not say a word as he delivered the flowers to Chekhov.  The guy set the flowers down and said, "Mr Chekhov, I have a special delivery for you.  I am giving these flowers to you as a gift."  Chekhov said, "That is generous, thanks."  Chekhov waited for the guy to leave sight before looking at the flowers.

One the mysterious man was out of sight, Chekhov said, "Colo Claw, someone gave me a vase with flowers, I would like your feedback."  The Colo Claw was suspicious of the nature of the delivery and said, "Chekhov, the guy who gave them to you was malicious, I heard it in his voice that he was hiding his real intentions.  They smell like acidic Halo plants to me.  Please exercise caution."  Checkov said, "I will be careful and look for any tags on the vase first."  Chekhov then found a string around the neck of the vase and saw a card saying "Happy April Fool's Day You Acorn Head".  Chekhov said, "Colo Claw, you are probably right, I read a card that it wished me April Fool's Day and called me an "acorn head"."  The Colo Claw replied, "Chekhov, if that is the case, do not touch the flowers, they are Halo Flowers and will burn you is you touch them.  My suspicions have been confirmed, that is nothing more than a cruel April Fool's Day prank pulled by a member of the Halo Empire."  Chekhov accidentally touched one of the flowers and screamed, "AHHHH!  That really burned!  I accidentally bumped my hand into one of the Halo Flowers in the vase and it is like fire!  Colo Claw, you are right, these flowers are malevolent.  I will have them beamed to the ship for further examination and saved as evidence of Halo's malicious intent.  Enterprise, I have a vase with Halo Flowers to beam up and take to the lab for further examination and as evidence of Halo's activities."  The Halo Flowers were beamed up and taken to the lab.

The Colo Claw said, "Chekhov, that was very wise to have the Halo Flowers beamed to the Enterprise for further examination and hopefully they will find the DNA of the individual that delivered them to you.  I want peace and that is why I am so against Halo for promoting endless war.  And let's not take any course of action that will lead us to war since that would be exactly what Halo wants."  Chekhov relied, "If Krik can always find a way when so much is at steak, then we shall certainly find a way to avoid war and shut Halo down for good, since war will only feed the Halo Empire and make it stronger."   Chekhov and the Colo Claw Fish continued to have quality time together.

Colo Claw Fish Dreams Episode I

Our post series starts with a relaxed effeminate Colo Claw Fish named Rendle who is sleeping in his burrow on the seas of Naboo.  Rendle at first is familiar with only Star Wars animals and spacecraft.  But one day, he was waken by unfamiliar noises emanating from outside his burrow and wondered what they were.  Rendle was cautious because of Sando Aqua Monsters, but his curiosity compelled him to approach the source of the sounds that woke him up but in a very careful manner.  As he got 190 meter away from his burrow entrance, he saw two small craft that were totally unfamiliar to him.  He asked the two small spacecraft, "Fellas, I am a Colo Claw Fish named Rendle and I heard noises that woke me up, are those peculiar sounds coming from you guys?"  The individual in one of the craft answered, "Rendle, the noises that you are referring you do not come from our two small craft, and we each have a large starship waiting at the surface of the seas of Naboo.  This craft is called a travel pod which docks to docking ports on my ship.  I am from the Star Trek universe which is non-Star Wars so therefore my ship is non-Star Wars.  I am Captain James Tiberius Kirk and my ship is the USS Enterprise."  The guy in the other craft added, "The guy in that travel pod is right about our ships and the noises that you heard, I am flying a YSS-1000 Sabre and I patriotically come from the Halo universe, which too is outside of Star Wars.  I am Captain Jacob Keyes and my ship is a Halo battlecruiser.  There is a clash between Halo and Star Trek."  Rendle said, "Guys, I love Star Wars, I have no views on either Star Trek or Halo and am undecided until I get further information but I do not like battles or clashes.

As Kirk and Keyes had an argument, Rendle listened in very carefully in hopes of getting enough information to make up his mind.  Keyes was calling Kirk names and verbally attacking him while Kirk avoided using such abrasive language.  Mr Spock and Scotty were with Kirk in the Travel Pod.  Mr. Spock said, "Keyes, you are being highly illogical and committing an illogicality known as an ad hominem attack."  Keyes then saw Scotty and shouted, "Look at that fatzo who thinks that his junk bucket is a matter of pride.  The Enterprise is a dumper and my ship is a cream of the crop."  Scotty shouted, "Keyes, I order you to cut out your insults to my baby!"  Keyes said, "War is the only way to solve major conflicts."  Spock said, "Keyes, the idea that war is the answer to every major dispute is unwise and not at all logical."  After hearing a back and fourth between Kirk, Spock, and Scotty in the travel pod and Keyes in the Sabre, Rendle quickly decided that he did not want to be with such nasty war-addicted cranks and chose Star Trek.  Rendle said, "I have made up my mind, I support Star Trek since Halo is filled with war junkies and verbal attacks etc.  I don't like rivalries, but I cannot stand militarism and such immature verbal abuse."  Kirk asked, "Rendle, would you like to travel in the cargo holds of the USS Enterprise, Scotty rigged them to carry a Colo Claw Fish just before we left the ship.  Much to our dismay, we have this rivalry all because the Halo Empirewants to promote endless war and Star Trek wants to end and prevent wars."  Rendle was excited and said, "Of course, I would love to travel with you."  Scotty said, "Beasty stay right next to our travel pod so we can escort you safely to the ship.   We don't want any Sando Aqua Monster-related incidents along the way."  The Travel Pod escorted Rendle to the USS Enterprise.

As Rendle and the Travel Pod made their way carefully to the ship, Rendle said, "Guys, Sando Aqua Monsters can appear without warning so keep your eyes peeled and your scanners on."  As Rendle and the travel pod got very close to the Enterprise at the surface, Kirk saw a dragon-like creature in the distance approaching from behind and asked, "Rendle, what is the distant animal that is slowly making his way towards us?"  Rendle answered in terror, "Kirk, that is a Sando Aqua Monster, please protect me!"  Kirk said, "I will protect you Rendle.  Transporter, beam up Scotty so he can open shuttle bay doors just below the waters surface and let Rendle the Colo Claw Fish in, there is a Sando Aqua Monster approaching.  Scotty was beamed up while Kirk and Spock went to distract the marauding marine mammal.  Scotty then took the turbo elevator to the shuttle control room so he could open the shuttle bay doors.  Once in the shuttle control room on P Deck, Scotty opened the bay doors.  As the Sando Aqua Monster got closer, Rendle swam very fast into the Enterprise and through the shuttle bay into the modified cargo holds.  Once Rendle was inside, Scotty closed the bay doors and said, "Kirk, our beasty is in."  Kirk and Spock then docked the travel pod on the port docking port on Q Deck.

The Sando Aqua Monster was not deterred by Rendle being safely sealed inside the Enterprise and proceeded closer and closer to the Enterprise.  Meanwhile, Checkov said, "Helm, let's take off before the Sando Aqua Monster damages our ship."  Sulu replied, "Aye sir, we are accelerating and taking off."  The Enterprise took off from the seas of Naboo without a scratch from the Sando Aqua Monster.  Meanwhile, Keyes was in his battlecruiser and noticed that the Enterprise was taking off and decided to pursue.  Keyes said, "Kirk, you will not get away because my slipspace drive can easily overtake your clunky warp drive very easily."  The Halo battlecruiser followed the Enterprise into orbit.  Kirk said, "Sulu, full impulse power and standby on warp drive."  Sulu replied, "Aye sir, full impulse."  In the aquatic cargo holds, Rendle noticed a large blanket and covered himself up in the cozy water comforter.  Krik then said, "Scotty, I need warp drive now."  Scotty replied, "Warp drive at maximum."  Kirk then said, "Thanks, Scotty.  Sulu, maximum warp."  Sulu said, "Aye sir, going at maximum warp."  The Enterprise left the Halo battlecruiser behind.  Keyes told his helm to engage the slipspace drive only to have it not work and to find out that Scotty sabotaged it just after they landed in the seas of Naboo.

On the Enterprise, Scotty and Spock were looking at Rendle and were both hormonally aroused by the large peace eel.  Rendle said, "I do not want any course of action that would lead to war, I want to have peace demonstrations to protest Halo's war efforts and send a message that war is pointless and that militarism is the absolute pits.  That is one aspect that I love about Star Wars Episode I."  Scotty replied, "The crew of the Enterprise totally agrees with you because as you rightfully feel, violence only breeds more violence."  Mr Spock said, "Rendle, your concerns are logical but I would not expect the Halo forces to act logically since they are driven by pure emotion."  Rendle said, "Thanks guys for your support of my approach to the situation."  Rendle was so cozy that he fell fast asleep.

(Author's Notes: This post is partly inspired from the stealing the Enterprise scene in Star Trek III.  I am not saying that Jacob Keyes and other Halo characters use such illogicality as verbal assaults, I am only showing how most real-life Halo fans act in response to criticism of Halo.)

Greetings

Hello, I am Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan; the president of the heroic I Hate Halo Federation, and welcome to the I Hate Halo Federation Official Blog.  As you might have guessed, I devote my life to promoting Star Trek and hating Halo.  This blog is a sanctuary for Star Trek fans who hate Halo (or anyone who hates Halo) to vent their disgust at the disgusting military saturation that the Halo franchise spreads like the plague.  On this blog, we will write anti-Halo fan fiction stories, anti-Halo witticisms, jokes at Halo's expense, exposes on Halo's ties to the military industrial complex, parenting advice, etc.

Colo Claw Fish Dreams: A fan fiction series about a Star Wars eel known as a Colo Claw Fish who is disgusted by Halo.  The first post in this series that will be posted on the last day of March 2012 which is a Saturday.  Our Colo Claw Fish who is our protagonist will be a Star Wars fan by default since his is a Star Wars eel.  Star Wars is not science fiction and is fantasy like Harry Potter while Star Trek vs Halo is science fiction like Back To The Future.  Our Colo Claw will start off undecided on the clash between Star Trek and Halo because he will be unfamiliar with them at first.  But when he sees how both Star Trek and Halo act he quickly decides that he does not want to be associated with such nasty warlike cranks and then chooses Star Trek over Halo.

Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan's Great Parenting Advice: A series on how to raise kids to be Star Trek fans in a Halo-obsessed society.

Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan's Playground Jokes 4 Kids: A series of posts containing various jokes at the expense of Halo since sadly many kids play Halo.

Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan's Scholarly Head 2 Head Comparisons: This is comparing aspects of Halo with equivalent aspects of Star Trek and will show at times that might does not necessarily make right.

Gene Roddenberry's #1 Fan's Vulcan Logic Course: I series of posts educating people on the various types of logical fallacies that are used by Halo goons and why you should not use them.  The Halo goons' #1 favorite type of logical fallacy of all time is to spray ad hominem attacks at anyone who criticizes Halo.

One of a kind posts will include "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner", "How Star Trek Changed The World", "Star Trek Ties To NASA & SETI",  "Halo Ties To The Pentagon", "I Fight For The Greater Good", and others.

If you are a Halo goon who is seeking help or just stumbled by here by accident, let me tell you why your devotion to a bloodthirsty science fiction gaming series is horrendous, you are making a fool out of yourself.  Halo goons are only welcome if they promise to forsake their old ways of playing such military space games as the Halo series and make the switch to Star Trek immediately.  The Star Wars and Star Trek fan rivalry is silly yet it is a hot button topic, a Star Trek fan's anger should be turned against Halo!

And the video below which will be on future posts is a YouTube video expose of Halo's ties to the war machine; so if you don't believe me that Halo is war propaganda, then watch Halo as an Official Tool For Army Recruitment and see for yourself please.  I do support free speech and will even let defiant Halo goons comment here, but their childish and fallacious remarks will do them more harm than good since people who are undecided will quickly decide that they do not want to be associated with such foul people.  Free speech is not only guaranteed int he Bill of Rights, but also in the Charter of the United Federation of Planets which I have proudly sworn allegiance to.  We will fight Halo with more and more speech because the best way to fight things like war propaganda is with more speech.

We will try to avoid any promotions of war and exercise self-restraint.  Sadly, it is much easier to play war than it is to avoid getting sucked into playing war since it is much easier to destroy than to create.  But thanks to our mascot; the Colo Claw Fish, we will be able to pull it off and protest Halo without violence including without imagining violence.  Martin Luther King Jr once said to protest without violence, and that is something that I have proudly sworn allegiance to.  I will also do a post or posts on the massive extent of Halo saturation that proves that Halo is a tool for a maniacal quest for total military saturation.  Halo is NOT the only form of military propaganda out there, I am against all of the many forms of militaristic entertainment (a.k.a. militainment) out there period, just that Halo is a science fiction space metaphor for the war machine.  Also read A War Toy Brings No Peace, No Joy for more information on my sincerity.  That is because not all people who have played with war got sucked into the war machine, and not all Halo fans are sucked into the military industrial complex because people are different.  But the messages of such entertainment themselves are cause for alarm.

The Glorious Star Trek's legendary founder; Gene Wesley Roddenberry, was born on August 19, 1921 and died in latter 1991.  Halo first came out in late 2001.  Had Gene Roddenberry been alive today to see the Halo Empire, he would be thoroughly disgusted with the vile filth that makes of the fecal mound known as Mt Halo and perhaps be rooting for me and this blog to take Halo out of commission.  Halo is a mountain of feces at least as high as Mt Everest as the saying goes since it is overrated, over-hyped, and over-priced.  This is a family safe destination so profanity will be discouraged.  The Halo Empire wants Star Trek to wither away and people like me will make sure that Star Trek never fades away as clearly demonstrated by the video below.
