Could you point this out? You keep calling me on using fallacies, and you keep being absolutely full of shit. I'm honestly interested in knowing what you considered a false analogy and why.
Clearly, choosing to take crack, and choosing to wear a burqa are not true analogs.
- Burqa's are not addictive
- Wearing a burqa does not support other forms of crime.
- Nobody (with maybe some exceptions) is forced to use crack.
- Burqa's do not physically harm the individual (unless you wish to argue a vitamin D potential deficiency due to lack of sunlight)
If the entities share aspects A & B, then there is a probability they will also share aspect C.
What I argue is that they do not similar aspects, therefore C is an unreasonable logical extrapolation, therefore a false analogy.
Oh, and for bonus points, since the negative connotations with taking crack cocaine are not analogous with wearing a burqa, we can potentially add appeal to emotion on the logical fallacy bingo you're playing.
So far you have called opinions bullshit and imbecilic, and if that is the case, you should be able to present a rational, and logical refutation of the argument.
So far we've ticked off strawman, false analogy, and potentially a few appeals to emotion, so when it comes to debating, you aren't really shining a light for logic and reason yourself.
Now, instead of puffing your chest out and making unfounded assertions, maybe you should actually try addressing the arguments I made so we can have a rational debate.
If I wanted someone to blindly assert superior knowledge, calling anyone who disagrees an imbecile without providing deductive or physical evidence to refute the argument, then I'll go argue with a creationist.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
