I'm in search for real life examples of arguments that contain informal fallacies such as fallacy of composition, fallacy of division, fallacy of equivocation, fallacy of amphiboly, False Dilemma, Appeal to Unreliable Authority, False Cause Fallacy....
If you're able to find one with a link to the actual text, that would be AMAZING.
Unfortunately I can't make an argument up myself, I have to find actual text.

Hi Meghan. In any newspaper article on political issues (in print or on the Internet) , you will find plenty of examples of many of these fallacies. Journalists and politicians rarely make rational arguments.
Best wishes and good luck.

The fallacy of " AMAZING "? A deceptive cause of chemical change in the brain! A deceptive of Self perception without any given explanation " HOW " the amaze event came about!
The argument in " Amazing " is true if in it there is a reasonable Self perception of a " TRUTH " in which the amaze factor become reality. In other words believe if " Amazing " is a suspicion of a reasonable fact or a false notion!
