Do you really think argumentam ad populam and argumentam ad populam are the same thing?

Yes. Yes I do. 'n "what topic it is" really has nothing to do with whether the means of argumentation are valid.

But going against the majority of the time and treating blacks as the equals they are never hurt anyone.

Stormfront disagrees.

Whereas, going against the majoity and being sexual with a boy has hurt many.

Blackstone disagrees.

See how easy this is?

Unless you think all those boys are lying when they say it messed them up.

Honestly, I believe Stormfront when they say that, somewhere out there, some nonwhite person has committed some crime, somewhere, against someone who happens to be white...

I just think it's also entirely irrelevant. Appeal to the herd, argument from anxiety with regards to possibility, and the like are recognized as logical fallacies for very good reasons - they're worthless as a tool of thought.

So, too, is your attempt at 'argument for special consideration.' Did you know that, in 2005, there were an average of 14,378 automotive crashes in the US per day? That's 287 per day, per state.

Here.

Conversely, the rate of stranger abduction in the US - the same stranger abduction which people decide to sponsor mass panics about, the same stranger abduction an entire federally-mandated alert system was designed to adress "this overwhelming wave," the same stranger abduction that every school across this nation spends [i]years[/i] running workshops to prepare "resistance" against - happens... a whopping 100 times a year.

In case you'd like to compare the two, that/s about 287 per day to about 1/200th of one per day, per state. They... just don't exist. They're a myth. Made up. But fuck - the majority thinks it's worth pirating the entire national infrastructure to adress a completely-mythical plague. Meanwhile, all the kids who get run over by cars can quite frankly go sod themselves, because no one gives a shit about human life.

You're seriously trying to pull some appeal to authority on the basis of the 'overwhelming intelligence and reason' of these people???

You've got to be kidding me.

Luckily, however... the incidental matter that the facts make a joke out of you doesn't really change the underlying issue - that as long as you phrase your arguments in appeal to a (fictitious) "majority" and the paranoid argument from the exceptional anecdote, you'll really have nothing to stand on.

You could be arguing that the earth was round, and still have no legitimacy, if those were the only methods you had to rely upon.
