Congratulations to the Straw Man,
…………who has been named the fallacy of the week.
To create a “straw man” is to misrepresent your opponent’s argument–not necessarily by misunderstanding it completely, but by depicting your opponent’s argument as being weaker than it actually is.
For instance,
Mary: I think it should be harder for people to purchase a firearm. The laws are too loose.
John: You’re completely irrational. If it were up to you, everyone would be walking around in body armor and hunting would be illegal.
Of course, Mary didn’t argue that everyone should be armored, or that hunting should be illegal. So John created a straw man out of Mary.

miley cyrus , the burkha, constructing jerky have absolutely no doubt been close to since someone female the fact that meat tasted best whenever has been cooked and also smoked through a new fire place. That happened whenever a new lightning bolt struck the best tree. Besides tasting more desirable, has been healthier.
