Here's an example of one I find particularly annoying, albeit I haven't heard it often:
Some guy the other day was trying to argue that because there are people in the world that believe unmarried non-virgins should be killed, that means that being an unmarried non-virgin is wrong.
What fallacy is that anyway? At first I thought argumentum ad populum, but that doesn't seem quite right...
