straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "set up a straw man" or "set up a straw man argument" is to create a position that is easy to refute, then attribute that position to the opponent. Often, the straw man is set up to deliberately overstate the opponent's position. A straw man argument can be a successful rhetorical technique (that is, it may succeed in persuading people) but it is in fact a misleading fallacy, because the opponent's actual argument has not been refuted.
Its name is derived from the practice of using straw men in combat training. In such training, a scarecrow is made in the image of the enemy with the single intent of attacking it. It is occasionally called a straw dog fallacy, scarecrow argument, or wooden dummy argument.
An example of a straw man fallacy:
Person A: I don't think children should play on busy streets.
Person B: I think that it would be foolish to lock children up all day.
Another example:
Person A: We should legalize marijuana.
Person B: No! Any society with unrestricted access to drugs loses its work ethic.

"I see" says the blind man who pees into the wind. It's also called arguing a completely irrelevant point.

So in the Armed Republic of Ryuondo I just approved genetic engineering of Super Soldiers. So not only do I have compulsory military service, raising children to be soldiers, now I have genetically engineered super soldiers. Sounds like Sal Torasia.

Oh, Ishtar's Bangle, I plan on having Xiaeriene eventually obtaining it. Speaking of which, we really should update Tamriel, that has been stopped solid for a while now
Oh, also, I was planning on having the ruins in the blood sea reached by.....alternate means. Let's just say, they will not get to the ruins from the blood sea, but from another place.

You cant get to the ruins but from the blood sea. After all it's in the blood sea. Which is where the Sal Torasian forces are headed. The icon Shlag is speaking of is the relic of eternity.

You can if it is through a gate that leads somewhere else, therefore bypassing the blood sea.(Don't worry, it is not a gate from another realm) I'll get into it later, once Hallas introduces Vain's guys to Borza of The Arrangement

Yeah, but it's not like the ruins aren't still radioactive. So it requires far more than just a teleportation device or gate or whatever.

I finally lowered taxes! Quote: The Armed Republic of Ryuondo "Boobs rock, yo!" UN Category: Compulsory Consumerist State Civil Rights: Below Average Economy: Strong Political Freedoms: Few Location: the West Pacific Regional Influence: Minnow Ryuondo is a UN Member The Armed Republic of Ryuondo is a huge, pleasant nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 216 million are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night. It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Education are secondary priorities. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Pizza Delivery and Information Technology. The government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, and Ryuondo's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers. Crime is moderate. Ryuondo's national animal is the rancor and its currency is the wong diddly bong. Ryuondo is ranked 161st in the region and 7,080th in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector. You have 15 telegrams! [View Dossier] United Nations Activity Endorsements Received: 7 (Wickedly evil people, Govedia, Bhang Bhang Duc, Todler, Kingsteck, TAOs UN NATION, BIteland)

The United States of Daikus is a large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its compassionate, cynical population of 20 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous government is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Education and Social Welfare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 28%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.
Bicyclists are banned from major roads, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, euthanasia is illegal, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daikus's national animal is the Prinny, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Darkar.
Daikus is ranked 1709th in the region and 30,916th in the world for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector.
Am i the only one whom thinks my country's discription is hypocritical of itself?
