15. misleading metaphore

The initial discussion was about 'security issues exploited by burka' (because they conceal the body). This was countered by the argument that similar security issues exist with many other objects than burkas (so that a ban of only burkas would be senseless). Now he replies that we are discussing burkas only, not other objects, putting us back on square 1.
fag's argument is: since similar security threats exist with other objects why ban burka is akin to saying why live today when tomorrow your gonna die anyways

This is a misleading metaphore. The claim that a burka is a security threat of such serious nature that it warrants a far reaching measure like a ban, is simply falsified if many other objects exist that have similar effects and are not considered security threats at all.

LOL I have an example for 15) that trumps your example.

again your stupid. it only takes one burka-bomber to cause damage, so there is no need to analyze each case, it will remain a security thread, just like the same way i don't have to divide each number by 10 to realize weather or not it will be a multiple.

He's comparing burkas with mathematical induction. This isn't so much apples and oranges as it is apples and orange groves.
