argument

The last argument I was in was with my friend, Matt. He thought it was just fine that he was addicted to drugs. He did not have a problem with it. He also did not see it as a bad thing even though he was kicked out of the dorms for possesion. I thought Matt being addicted was a really bad thing. I saw it as a problem. Matt did not care that drugs were illegal and believed that they should be legalized. I did care that drugs were illegal and didn't believe they should be legalized. We argued about this issues for a long time. I may have argued using the appeal to pity fallacy. I wanted to Matt to feel pity for himself because he didn't any place to sleep or keep all of his stuff. I think this was the only logical fallacy I used when arguing with Matt.
