Banning the Burqa?

[Jinkies]

I did include a couple of poor decisions people make in an earlier post, one of which was smoking crack.

The context of the argument was that many people choose to wear a burka.

You responded;

Plenty of women also choose to stay with a man who beats them. Plenty of people choose to smoke crack. I don't see how some number of people making what I consider a poor choice makes my argument fail. Could you clarify how it does?

You are directly comparing the choice to wear a burka with taking crack. Clear. Simple. False Analogy. Perhaps appeal to emotion to boot.

Here's what I wrote and responded to again:

This argument also fails (as I noted above) when you consider the number of Islamic women who choose to wear the burqa.

Plenty of women also choose to stay with a man who beats them. Plenty of people choose to smoke crack. I don't see how some number of people making what I consider a poor choice makes my argument fail. Could you clarify how it does?

His argument was that my argument failed due to women choosing to wear a burqa. I listed a number of poor choices people make as evidence that, just perhaps, humans are a bit fallible when it comes to decision making. I was pointing out a flaw in his argument when I mentioned smoking crack. I was in no way comparing it to wearing a burqa. You are completely misrepresenting my words.

Oi! Cut it out with the insults, noob. Hold a debate without acting like a cock.

Is constantly falsely claiming that I'm committing one fallacy after another not acting like a cock? All I do is say "fuck" a lot and point out, quite correctly, that the people I'm talking to have no fucking clue how to comprehend written English.

And "noob?" You would me, thir. My noobness stings most savagely now...
