1st Group Fallacies

Vincent Alvarado

Slippery slope

Ex: If we let our child out of his room, eventually he will want to leave the house, and will end up on the street. If he is walking around on the street then he will be snatched up by a stranger and sold into slavery in a remote region on the World.

Texas Sharpshooter

Ex: A recent study showed that the top 10 countries where Italian soda is most commonly consumed are also countries that have some of the lowest rankings in reported cases of depression. Therefore Italian soda makes people happy.

Special Pleading

Ex: Yes, I know convicted drug abuse justifies imprisonment. But my son is a good kid, your honor, and just fell in with the wrong crowd

Proving to Much

Ex: One might argue that all slavery is evil because there are cases where a slave was beaten to death

Loaded Question

Ex: Marijuana has mind-numbing elements that affect your memory so how can you say you have never had marijuana if you can't remember? Now exactly how much pot did you smoke?
