your argument with my "appral to nature" is completely off base. My claim is 100% logic.

all animals (excepting humans for now) have gay populations.
humans are animals.
therefore humans amust have gay populations.

a=b
x=a
therefore x=b
logic is mathematical.

No, it is completely based off of an uncertified and undescribed premise, which is that all species are alike.

It is 100% not complete logic.

This is strawman. He said all animals (except) humans display homosexuality. Not, "All species are alike". Astonishing that in a thread about fallacies is one found.

How did you get from

"all animals (excepting humans for now) have gay populations."

to

"to humans must have gay populations"

?

 

The answer is simple, he assumed that all species in the animal kingdom are alike. Exactly what I stated.

It's missing from his logic, and I personally believe it to be false.

No strawman here, sorry.

LMFAO. You are incredibly obtuse.

What he said: all animals (excepting humans for now) have gay populations.

What you said: No, it is completely based off of an uncertified and undescribed premise, which is that all species are alike.

Please tell me where in his premise of all animals (excepting humans for now) have gay populations. that he said anything remotely near all species are alike.. Strawman at its finest. Own up to it, it's so obviously true, that I question your intelligence in regard to understanding the meaning of the term.
