Ok, so here is a game as I'm bored haha. I am going to make up some arguments and you've got to guess what they are. Then you can make your own and I or someone else can guess. In addition to that, we can discuss if they are fallacies or not and what would have to change for them to be valid or fallacious. Further to that, there is a poll at the end that asks what you consider to be the most common fallacy from your experience. So without further ado
1. Jim: "Where is your yarmulke, Bob?"
Bob: I don't feel like wearing that right now thanks."
Jim: "A True Jew always wears his yarmulke!"
2. Rob: "I believe in the theory of evolution."
Kev: "Did you honestly just say that the whole human race like a bunch of monkeys?"
3. Alfred: There can be no logical, reasonable and/or rational debate in politics
if the majority of either party is persistently just trying to convince
the other/s to agree to their own view stemming from deeply ingrained
biases instead of actually trying to reach a reasonably suitable
a conclusion that each party can reasonably agree to.
4. David: "The Doctor said I need to have a scan."
Mick: "You're just going to have a scan because a Doctor told you to? You know that's an appeal to authority right?"
5. James: "The higher and stronger the scientific consensus is the more likely the scient is wrong."
6. Rich: "My Uncle is a really intelligent guy and he says he believes Aliens do exist. Therefore, they must exist if he says it."
7: Glen: "Donald Trump made a good point about why taxes should be lowered."
Brian: Donald Trump is a nutcase that never combs his hair properly. Therefore, nothing he says can be taken seriously."
I think I will leave it there for now. Over to you.

Yes, I noticed. I wanted to add more after I made this but I can't edit the polls. However, I am thinking I might do another one just for fun and actually include groups of polls with an abundance of fallacies to choose from in each group.
