1) Ad Hominem: to attack the person instead of the argument
Example: Donald trump uses this the most. He attack because he doesn't know how to accept criticism. On twitter he called Clinton a "bigot" and "crippled".
2) Ad Antiquitatem: "It's always been like that" argument
Example: Marriage has always been between a man and woman, therefore gay marriage shouldn't be allowed.
3) Red Herring: mentioning unimportant facts to avoid the actual question.
Example: In the debate, Clinton keeps mentioning about her book. (lol self promoting)
4) Tu quoque: pointing out that someone also made the same error
Example: We're both stupid for trying drugs and alcohol.
5) Straw Man: to ignores a person's actual position and replaces it with an exaggerated version of that position.
Example: If you say "I hate this school", people who uses the straw man fallacy can over exaggerate and say "Oh, since your parents paid you to go to school, does that mean you hate your parents too ?"
6) Naturalistic Fallacy: to derive conclusions about what is right or good from statements
Example: Nature gives people diseases and sickness, therefore, it is morally wrong to interfere with nature and treat sick people with medicine.
7) Dicto Simpliciter: making a statement and expecting it to be true of every specific case
Example: Women are on average not as strong as men and less able to carry a gun.
8) Circulus in demonstrado:
