Misuse of "begging the question".

Begging the question - rhetorical fallacy http://nizkor.org/features/fallacies...-question.html

NOT "That makes you ask the question . . ."

Yes!

I'm confused. How do people use this incorrectly?

Example sentence?

But there are no problems with your account. You should be happy to hear that.

I trust that all GCers who get calls from Rachel -- or the similar calls about how the FBI says home break-ins are on the rise and you've won a free home alarm system -- know that this is scam to get your credit card info.

Haha, I just started getting the FBI ones. If they were from the FBI, wouldn't they know whether I had an alarm system or not?

When my cousin was here from Alaska she was shocked at the number of political ads we get here. Apparently the state is so 'red' that nobody bothers advertising there. So, you can always move to Alaska to escape them
