Other than those in the links below, this should give you a good start:

Fallacies of Relevance
1. Argumentum ad Bacculum (appeal to force)

"Pay back the loan and 10 % daily interest by Thursday, or be sure that you have you hospital insurance paid up."

2. Argumentum ad Hominem (abusive)

"Don't believe anything John says; he's a nerd."

3. Argumentum ad Hominem (circumstantial)

"Of course he thinks fraternities are great. He's a Phi Delta."

4. Argumentum ad Ignorantiam (argument from ignorance)

There is no proof that witches exist; therefore, they do not.

5. Argumentum ad Misericordiam (appeal to pity)

"Your honor, how can the prosecution dare try to send this poor, defenseless child to jail for the murder of his father and mother. Have a heart; the boy is now an orphan."

6. Argumentum ad Populum

"Don't be left out! Buy your Chevette today!"

7. Argumentum ad Vericundiam (appeal to authority)

8. Accident

"What you bought yesterday, you eat today; you bought raw meat yesterday; therefore, you eat raw meat today."

9. Converse Accident (hasty generalization)

"That man is an alcoholic. Liquor should be banned."

10. False cause (Post hoc ergo propter hoc) (Many of our superstitions stem from use of this fallacy.)

"A black cat crossed Joe's path yesterday, and he died last night. The black cat caused Joe's death."

11. Petitio Principii (begging the question)

"It's time to come in the house now, Billy."
"Why?"
"Because I said so!"
"Why?"
"Because it's time, and I said so."

12. Complex Question

"Have you given up cheating on exams?"

13. Ignoratio Elenchi (irrelevant conclusion)

In a law court, in attempt to prove that the accused is guilty of theft, the prosecution may argue that theft is a horrible crime for anyone to commit.

Fallacies of Ambiguity
1. Equivocation

Some dogs have fuzzy ears. My dog has fuzzy ears. My dog is some dog!

2. Amphibole (grammatical construction)

3. Accent

4. Composition

"Each part of this stereo weighs under one pound. This is a very light stereo."

5. Division

"Purdue is a great engineering school. Mike went there; he must be a great engineer."

Answer 2

Well, sorry that I do not know the terms you use but I find the media entirely untrustworthy - and here is why.. twice, once in NYC and once in Quito Ecuador, I saw "rallies" - and the people all stood around holding signs and chatting etc.. until the camera lights went on and then they went berserk waving their placards and screaming until the lights went off and then they just started chatting again... I am sure it looked intimidating on tv.. Reporters go to a place that is often new and different for them and write about it having less knowledge than the average person there.. They don't take the time needed to learn. I saw an article in the NY Times about the street that I used to live on in Bangkok.. It was about 50% incorrect.. and sighted such stupid observations as that it was 95 degrees and some people were wearing light jackets [ as if they were cold ] - - well, they are not cold.. They are Thai people - they are varying shades of brown skinned and for them, darker skin is lower class, they darken easily in the sun and if you are darker, you more likely might work in the fields.. now - isn't that more interesting than that they might be a bit chilly in the heat.. but like I said, abt 50% of the article was just off base - a vague shadow of the street that I know so well... And well, not to be rude, my brother is media, they tend to think they are a little better than others, and that if they make an observation, it is interesting or correct.. alot of ego working in these people.. hope this helps

Answer 3

There are a lot of sex fallacies.

You can't get pregnant the first time you do it.

You can't get pregnant standing up

Pulling out is effective birth control

If the woman doesn;t orgasm, she won't get pregnant

If the man masturbates before sex, you won't get pregnant.

A hot bath for the man makes him sterile and you won't get pregnant.

(Although all of these examples have a kernal of truth in them, odds are stacked well against you)
