i can't even count... (by that, i mean that i can't count the amount of fallacies, because there are so many- not that i can't count 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 etc., because i can, as you can see.)

in advance: no- a fallacy is not a penis.

also, if you could include a fallacy (which i'm sure plenty of you will do) in your answer, that would be great.

Everybody who disagrees with me has posted a fallacy. LOL. It's even worse over in the Law & Ethics category. In Politics, many time it is a matter of opinion. In Law & Ethics, sometimes people just give really bad advice. It can be pretty horrible.

I'm new to Y!A, and this is my first day in the "politics" section. Since this is my first day, and I'm only just getting started, I can't yet provide a "per day" number.
I have spotted one fallacy. You begged the question of whether (a) we've all been to "politics" and (b) a day has since ended (counting either midnight or <12:00am as the end of my day).

The number is directly proportional to the number of questions and answers I read on Y! answers that day. For example: 120 questions and answers read = 120 fallacies.
You can get the most laughs for the lowest price on Y! Answers.

Oh, I would say that fallacy factor is roughly 1 or 2 googol a day!

Well, where to begin... How about the fallacy of not thinking securing our boarder is important to start! Or worse still the idiot that opened the flood gates for them all to come to the U.S.A in the first place?

The daily march of the straw man army plows through rivers of red herrings to arrive at certain Ambiguity.
What to do?? Hasty Generalization is the only answer.

Wouldn't politics be completely made up of fallacies anyway?

I agree, uncountable. Here's a better question: how many rational and relevant responses have you ever seen on Y! Answers?

C-Span aired this in late June. You need to watch it, discuss it with others and share this with everyone you can.
I don't want to see any comments until 1,5 hrs from now. If you can't watch the the show, then your post is meaningless. Any negative posts need to be backed up please.
I know the truth is scary but we all need to wake up to it.
Watch the damn show!
