An example of a pseudo-argument in the real world is the conviction of terrorists, continuing in the same vain as last week’s blog. These people are utter fanatics, believing in the necessity of killing and destroying others in order to spread their message. They are so dedicated to their beliefs that they are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to argue against people who believe differently. The September 11th attacks were an argument against America’s belief system. The terrorists responsible believed that their moral and religious codes were the true way to live, and that no other people could have differing opinions. Terrorists are unshakable in their beliefs and spread their arguments through fear and violence rather than listen to anyone who disagrees.

JP-
I found it very interesting that we both chose the same example to discuss. I agreed with everything you said, but the one thing I would change about the post is perhaps giving a quick definition of "pseudo-argument," since its not really a real word and everything. But overall, good work
