I want to make sure I gottese right, so does anyone have the answer for what kind off fallacies these are?
1. The presiding judge of a revolutionary tribunal, on being asked why people were being executed without trial: “Why should we put them on trial when we know that they’re guilty?”
2. Since good nutrition is essential to the health of its citizens, the government should punish people who eat junk food.
3. A research study demonstrated that children who watched Seinfeld rather than Roseanne received are now getting higher grades in school. So it must be true that Seinfeld is more educational than Roseanne.
4. Women ought to be permitted to serve in combat. Why should men be the only ones to face death and danger?
5. Because so much money was spent on public education in the last decade while educational achievement declined, more money to improve education can’t be the answer to reversing the decline.
6. He’s a columnist for the campus newspaper, so he must be a pretty good writer.
7. We tend to exaggerate the need for standard English. You don’t need much standard English for most jobs in this country.
8. Because this soft drink contains so many chemicals, it must be unsafe.
9. Core requirements should be eliminated. After all, students are paying for their education, so they should be able to earn a diploma by choosing the courses they want.
10. We should encourage a return to arranged marriages in this country since marriages based on romantic love haven’t been very successful.
11. Supreme Court Justice Byron White was an All-American football player while at college, so how can you say that athletes are dumb?
12. You know Suzanne Sommer’s exercise books must be worth the money. Look at the great shape she’s in now that she’s in her sixties.
