Look up "straw man argument" or maybe "slippery slope." Then, make a better argument.

- csense 14y agoActually, people often underestimate the power of a "slippery slope" argument. To me, it looks more like reductio ad absurdum. If we accept curtailing the 4th, 5th, or 8th amendment as an absurd outcome, and a parallel argument to token's supports that absurd outcome, then there must be a flaw in token's argument.
- CamperBob2 14y agoThe slippery slope is a logical fallacy. That means it's only a fallacy in the context of dealing with logical entities. Can humans, and their governments, be assumed to act as logical entities?
