June 20th, 2009Lord Kavi (Iran)

Fallacy of Appeal to Pity is one of logical fallacies which makes the audiences accept a conclusion or a speech by showing how miserable the speaker is.

One Response to “Fallacy of Appeal to Pity!”

    America is winning !
    You have your great leaders now we have ours. Divide and conquer is the American way.
    For example North Korea – South Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Pakistan and many more examples to long to list !
    Our Leaders have bamboozled our public and effectively censored our media (like with yours).
    They have one message for you and one for us. We are proud of our President (The New world Leader), he is a very effective and crafty speaker.
    As a Christian people we know that all races are sacred and that we should mind our own business, but many of our leaders have no real lasting commitment. Each word that is spoken is carefully planned to manipulate a certain audience.
    If anyone thinks USA doesn’t have a hand in this -seriously reconsider-. He will force compromise on the “peace process”, and leave the Mid-East in turmoil as long as it serves our purposes.
    The American war protesters are now silenced entirely and human rights have been forgotten, for that we are sorry. We are however proud of our Presidents and doubt you will break from their spell.
    In America we say “yes we can” and abroad “we are doing it”.

    My response to “Fallacy of Appeal to Pity: Iran Protests!” – it is better to receive reprimand from your brother than a kiss from the enemy. It would seem that your enemy’s want to break your power which was unity. Change is just a clever word, a hypnotic suggestion. (now we see the power of one little word and look at how the world is changing-not-so-good-is-it).
