    My favorite line from Boyz N Da Hood is little Ice Cube telling some kid to get "your punkass brother bitch, I'll get my daddy"

    to be perfectly honest, IMHO, without offending anyone, but from a different perspective, and not condemning your
    POV, i believe,edit- i KNOW, you are fuk'n wrong and need to see it my way.

    These aren't really commandments - they're a list of well-know fallacies. They get covered in all Critical Thinking textbooks.

    One is logical ("does not follow from" = "is not logically implied by") the other is causal (just because it comes after doesn't mean it's caused by).
    Classic post hoc: "Buy my brilliant Tiger Repellent Spray and stay safe this Summer!"
    "But there aren't any Tigers round here..."
    "See how well it works!"

    Non sequiturs actually include a lot of the other logical fallacies, because a logical fallacy is committed when you claim something follows logically from something else when it doesn't.
    (Exception: begging the question is perfectly valid but still a fallacy. "I can prove that God exists because it says so in the Bible which is infallible because it is the written word of God")
