So flood, the old Straw Man gets tossed around here pretty regularly, with the occasional Ad Hominem to mix things up, but I wonder, how many of you are using, or are at least aware of these?
If you google it and are interested, I recommend the book "How To Win Every Argument: The Use and Abuse of Logic" which despite its asinine title is quite informative.
Anyways discuss fallacies below!
Edit: If you are not familiar with them, try and figure out what is wrong about each of the statements in this link: :link
