MacRumors World AIDS Day: magnet for informal fallacies

December 2, 2015 ohm

What's political about Apple recognising World Aids Day? The answer: the comments section. (NOTE: my notes below each (#'s denote comment order):

Comment #1: Apple is collecting funds to help people who contracted a disease.
Good for them. 


- straw man fallacy

Comment #6: Not trying to be a downer or anything. But like one of the previous guy said, AIDS is mostly contracted disease. I wonder if it would be batter if they direct this toward cancer or something else.

- part straw man fallacy, part presuppositional fallacy

Comment #13: ...Apple would do much better focusing their huge pile of money on something else, but, Apple is a left wing leaning organization and the CEO is gay so no surprise.

- tu quoque fallacy, argument from ignorance fallacy

Ah, the internet, outside it, you will not find a more treacherous hive of uneducated scum and villainy.
