Just because someone is willing to, say, torture a rat, I should be the one to do it? That's a non-sequitur.

- King-Aaron 8y agoI feel this is akin to strawman logic. However using that as an example, there are people who work as vermin exterminators, or people who work in labs that have to euthanise lab mice. They probably don't enjoy it, but when there's a need for something you'll find someone to do it.
- fao_ 8y agoIt's not a straw-man, because it's using your literal point. I can't get any closer to your argument than that. > However using that as an example, there are people who work as vermin exterminators, or people who work in labs that have to euthanise lab mice. They probably don't enjoy it, but when there's a need for something you'll find someone to do it. Yes, but that does not serve as a reason why I should be the one to do it (instead of them), that only postulates that there are other people out there to do it, which is an irrelevant point.
