WHEN LOGIC FAILS

1. Argumentum ad hominem
     Example: how can you say you are raw vegan when your eating cooked vegetables
2. Argumentum ad antiquitatem
     Example: Marriage has always been between a male and a female therefore, gay marriage should be forbidden
3. Argumentum ad ignorantiam
     Example: No one has proven that god doesnt exist, therefore he does.
4. Argumentum ad logicam
     Example: I have never seen a ghost therefore, ghosts don't exist.
5. Argumentum ad nauseam
     Example: Hillary: "Donald supported the invasion of  Iraq"
                     Trump: " Wrong, Wrong, Wrong"
6. Argumentum ad populum
     Example: The athletic director should spend on other sports than just football when the football team sucks.
7. Complex question
     Example: Have you stopped consuming drugs?
8. Nature, appeal to
     Example: pollution is unnatural because us humans dump trash and don't clean up after ourselves.
9. Slippery Slope
     Example: legalizing gay marriage in California can lead to other states like Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky  to legalize gay marriage.
10. Tu quoque ('you to")
     Example: she accused her of cheating, but she cheated too.
