Added a fallacy to the list
For example: "You can't tell me not to eat cheeseburgers, I just saw you eating one last week!" Another common example is often found in business: "why are you punishing me for dumping waste in the river? My rival does the exact same thing and you don't punish him!" In this case, dumping waste into the river is wrong (and illegal) regardless of how it is enforced for any other company.

===="False Causality" ====
A false causality fallacy is when a person argues that A caused B when there is little evidence to support the claim. Specifically, a false causality is committed when the basis for A causing B is based on some superficial coincidence.
*"Our house was robbed the day after that family moved in, they must have done it!"
In this example, it is only a coincidence that a new family has moved in at the same time another house has been robbed, and this is not grounds for evidence.
