Logical Fallacies

3. The technology program at our school is top-notch because it’s the best.

4. The British like to keep a stiff upper lip.

5. Either you’re for us or against us.

6. Nothing went right today, so of course, I didn’t get a raise.

7. Either you support building the new highway or not. A vote against us is a vote against growth and prosperity.

8. Banning soda from school is like taking candy from a child. All children like candy and who would hurt a child?

9. I couldn’t have failed this test. I’m an ‘A’ student!

10. Increasing offshore drilling for oil would lead to environmental disaster.

11. America: love it or leave it.

12. Satanist Quarterly reports that 87% of Americans are atheists.  Therefore, there is no god.

13. If we pass laws against fully automatic weapons, then it won't be long before we pass laws on all weapons, and

then we will begin to restrict other rights, and finally we will end up living in a communist state. Thus, we should

not ban fully automatic weapons.

14. Fred, the Australian, stole my wallet. Thus, all Australians are thieves.

15. Government is like business, so just as business must be sensitive primarily to the bottom line, so also must

government.
