School Woes

So, this week in my critical thinking class we are learning about rhetorical devices and fallacies in persuasive writing. Basically, this class is teaching me how to argue more effectively (like I need that, just ask my boyfriend!) and how others' arguments deserve not to be accepted. Pretty awesome, huh? So the next time I am arguing with someone, I can just respond, "Whatever! You're just using a smokescreen to try and distract me from the real issue." Or, "That doesn't make any sense because it is a question-begging argument!" No one will know how to respond because I'm sure they won't even know what I am talking about.
And, I get to win every argument. So, in a way I paid a little more than a thousand dollars to be taught how to win arguments.
