Logical Fallacies

I found it interesting that so many people use logical fallacies in their arguments, often times unwittingly. I can remember my mom telling me to finish my whole meal, because kids elsewhere are starving. I wasn't aware that when I was refuting her statement, I was actually trying to expose her logical fallacy. Also, I didn't realize that many advertisers are guilty of using fallacies in their advertisements. I usually fall for them and buy the products!
