21. How Not to Argue like an Idiot

N. Mcdonal's article states many logical fallacy people make when they come to argue with one another. Mcdonal looks specifically at the most common logical fallacies that we come across in arguments. The author is very careful in expressing himself. Before gong into details with his beliefs he states that these beliefs have a "limited value." The author respects the fact that other can have different values and standards, and states that he isn't expressing himself for authority but for logic. Mcdonal writes his examples very creatively and logically.

There was a time I heard a illogical fallacy when I was talking to my friend about a story of mine. My friend heard the story I was telling her. After I finished my story she told me that there was an analogy for my story. She explained these two things , that she was comparing, that, in her mind, had everything in common. Honestly, I felt like those two things that she was explaining had nothing in common; it jut felt like she was trying to come up with something cool and to put two totally different things together just to come up with an analogy. This was when I realized that I should be careful about trying to fit things together when it doesn't work that way.
