You can find the statements below or in a separate Word document.

1) It is ridiculous to have spent thousands of dollars to rescue those two whales trapped in the Arctic ice. Why look at all the people trapped in jobs they don’t like.

2) Plagiarism is deceitful because it is dishonest.

3) Water fluoridation affects the brain. Citywide, student’s test scores began to drop five months after fluoridation began.

4) I know three redheads who have terrible tempers, and since Annabel has red hair, I’ll bet she has a terrible temper too.

5) Supreme Court Justice Byron White was an All-American football player while in college, so how can you say that athletes are dumb?

6) Why should we put people on trial when we know they are guilty?

7) You support capital punishment just because you want an “eye for an eye,” but I have several good reasons to believe that capital punishment is fundamentally wrong…

8) The meteorologist predicted the wrong amount of rain for May. Obviously the meteorologist is unreliable.

9) You know Jane Fonda’s exercise videos must be worth the money. Look at the great shape she’s in.
