No one is saying they are not human (straw man). Aren't thieves or murderers human as well? This is a weak argument frankly.


I think a lot of people consider murderers as less than human, and reflect that in the way they talk about them and the punishments they should face.

I think a lot of people consider homosexuals as deviants and in some way less than human, also. They might not say it openly but they think it.

Would you please stop posting religious flamebait to HN? You've been doing a lot of that lately, and we ban that sort of account. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.

HN is not the place for any of this, so please stop.

>That's another straw man fallacy.

My opinion is that a lot of people think murderers are less than human, full stop.

I don't know how my opinion can coherently be described as a fallacy when it's what I believe.
