This site has 10,000 members. To suggest we're all loonies with 'wrong' viewpoints is a bit presumptuous coming from a new member. Why are your views superior to the rest of us? You need a bit more humility mate.

Your argument is totally and utterly invalid here ; it carries no weight since you used faulty reasoning. You used the logical fallacy of the argumentum ad numerum or argumentum ad populum here but I say probably the former :

"Argumentum ad numerum (argument or appeal to numbers). This fallacy is the attempt to prove something by showing how many people think that it's true. But no matter how many people believe something, that doesn't necessarily make it true or right. Example: "At least 70% of all Americans support restrictions on access to abortions." Well, maybe 70% of Americans are wrong!

This fallacy is very similar to argumentum ad populum, the appeal to the people or to popularity. When a distinction is made between the two, ad populum is construed narrowly to designate an appeal to the opinions of people in the immediate vicinity, perhaps in hope of getting others (such as judges) to jump on the bandwagon, whereas ad numerum is used to designate appeals based purely on the number of people who hold a particular belief. The distinction is a fine one, and in general the terms can be used interchangeably in debate rounds. (I've found that ad populum has better rhetorical effect.)

Argumentum ad populum (argument or appeal to the public). This is the fallacy of trying to prove something by showing that the public agrees with you. For an example, see above. This fallacy is nearly identical to argumentum ad numerum, which you should see for more details. "

This discernment came from my atlanto-mediterranean mind so much for nordish superiority !
