Worst reasoning poll
What do you think is the worst reasoning? Most of these came from tv. The "anyone but....." came from the Republicans' "the democrats' real slogan is 'anyone but Bush' slogan". The opinionless robot thing is my trademark. You can vote for more than one choice.
I think those are all valid reasons.

That would depend on what logic system you are using. They can easily be valid, as all that validity requires is that there is no internal contradiction. None of them are sound, however, as that is a much stiffer test of reasoning.

"Because the Bible says so."

I tend to avoid testing my logical validity with stiffer reasoning.

The contest is over and, heeeeeeeeeeere's your winner!!!
Personally, I like "A =/=B, hence C is a hamster."
This form is teh awesome. (http://www.megat.co.uk/wrong/) I googled it today, because I wanted to see if I could find an internet version of the one I have in the book.

"I wasn't raised that way." [ implying that having been raised a certain way means you don't have to think. ]
I voted I can't believe it if I don't see it and the inconvience one, the two most commonly used phrases in liberal ideology.
Take that back, the former is the most used, the latter is simply what they're thinking but are too snotty to admit it.
The other's I can empathize with.
"Anyone but Bush".
Hey, I like Bush, but you're allowed to not like him. There's alot to not like about him. And I follow the "my enemy's enemy" philosophy.
I also like the you are either with me or against me philosophy. Though I don't enforce it.
I don't think I need to explain how I'm all for the "if you disagree with me you're retarded" philosophy lol!
And the opinionless robot one, good, one less retarded person.:p

I voted the "anyone but (insert name here)" because it's not even thinking about the worst case senario
"anyone but Bush" leaves room for Phelps, and Robertson surely they don't want Pat Robertson to be president.....:eek:
If I could slightly tweak one of the options I would make it "if I have never heard of it, it doesn't exist" or even better "if I don't understand it, it's stupid" both of those annoy me, a LOT.

You asked for the worst among several options, yet you made the poll multiple-answer. And I voted for everything!!! AHAHHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!! YOUR PLANS ARE RUINED!

I like the "I'm right, don't argue with me" arguement. I'm also quite fond of all the "Why are all liberals/conservatives/christians/gays/etc. idiots" threads.
