I felt it was important to post because there are a plethora of divisive issues in society and there always will be. As people it's good to recognize fallacies and mistakes in reasoning when having discussions. This isn't specifically towards any group. This isn't post to throw shade at conservatives or democrats or Tories or even that one guy that's super stubborn in conversation that all you wish upon him is for his toilet paper to run out at the most inconvenient time. It's for everyone and it's healthy to recognize where there may be some of these in your life.
Not bad, but some errors, as some have pointed out. "The Texas Sharpshooter" is just called "cherrypicking the facts" in most of the world.
I guess it's related to cherrypicking in that you are manipulating the data, but you are excluding any examples that disprove your assertion.
Burden of proof makes no sense to me. I can think of personal experiences in which it made more sense that the accuser would need to show proof of something happening. How can I prove something didn’t happen? There is no evidence to present of it existing or not existing since it did not occur. A good example would be child custody. A parent can request child support but you only get it if you have the child more than 50% of the time. In the request you should have to prove you’ve had the child for more than 50% of the time rather than the person you’re trying to get money from proving they have. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence applies there
It happens a shit load, southern us states go to ban abortion people said first abortion then birth control, which people tried to dismiss as a slippery slope. But what are they currently trying to do?
