As to your question, do you want to "win" a debate or explore topic? If you wnt to win a debate, yes, if you have reason to believe that any given fallacy will sway the audience, you leverage that. If you want to explore a topic..wtf are you doing in a debate?
What I find morally disgusting isn't just some random argument I made out of my ass, my friend--it's based on the building blocks of argument. We all learn as writers and debators of the logical fallacies, and why they are wrong. Yet I've found many people here trying to defend Galloway, as I'd referenced him. Defended his fallacies. By the way, there was no winner by poll that I saw in that debate. So why did it matter so much? I still restate my question, have you actually watched the debate I presented?
