		<description><![CDATA[The first in my series on logical fallacies, the appeal to belief, is simple. It is the fallacious argument that because you, I, or anyone else believes something, that belief somehow confers validity to the argument. Traditionally, it&#8217;s similar to an appeal to populous, but I&#8217;ve been hearing it applied more and more recently to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Human beings are a contentious lot, and we've been arguing long before we formed what we know today as civilization. Fast forward to today and we've established a set of rules by which debates can be performed. While points and clear winners are often forgone in favor of a less structured format, the rules for the arguments themselves haven't changed too much.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find one of the most troubling things today is the lack of scientific knowledge in the general populous of America. More than any other ideology, Creationism seems fueled by an ignorance of our natural world and the foundations of what science actually is. According to a Gallup Poll in 2008, 44% believed that a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As an atheist, I get a bit irritated when I see federal institutions endorsing religion, even if it is de facto. There is an odd rallying cry recently of &#8220;take back America&#8221;, which fascinates me. Many forget that a lot of the Christian elements in our society are relatively new. The Official Motto As war [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I enjoy the idea of cosplay. You get to dress up and go to a convention where there are other people that enjoy the same things you do. They love the stories, the costumes, and the characters. But&#8230; you frequently see the same characters over and over. Aerith, Cloud, Squall, and Tifa are all extremely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Movies are interesting. They provide us with an escape from reality in a nicely wound little story, if you&#8217;re lucky. What&#8217;s almost more fascinating than the stories that they choose to tell is how they tell it. Watching a 2005 movie right after a 1968 classic was fascinating in that aspect. So, tonight we pit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love the Final Fantasy series. It&#8217;s volumes have given me numerous story lines that consume hours upon hours. They helped whittle away long and otherwise uneventful summers. From underneath the awesomeness of the stories, gameplay systems, and wicked CGI bubbles up some common archetypes and themes. These following concepts I find are largely valid [...]]]></description>
