Show why the statement does not prove what it's trying to prove.

1. "Don't listen to him. He's just a troll."

QUOTE (Raijinili @ Jun 6 2006, 11:52 PM)
It's called argumentum ad hominem. Argument to the man. May come in the form of insults, attacks on credibility. Basically, the person can't be trusted to be right. It's a logical fallacy because it doesn't prove anything about the argument, and only claims something about the man behind the argument.

2. Person is arguing that abortion should be legalized: "Either you believe in legalizing abortion, or you're against helping victims of rape."

hmm. he is saying that as long as he doesn't legalize abortion, then he's against helping rape victims.

hmm.......oh yeah, Chaos, this has nothing to do with Rai showing us we're idiots or to make him feel better. it's just so we get smarter. learning to read between the lines. and his lines are very fine....

dang, what the hell......

okay, so, like what Rai said, ARGENTUM AD HOMINEM, this guy has no real proof that the person he's bashing is against victims of rape. he's just saying it because he will not agree to the person's point of view of legalizing abortion.

right or wrong?
