-People who are shallow and let this dictate how they treat others.
-Bullies - Especially those who use either their power or other socially acceptable shields to get away with hurting the weak.
-People who blame anime, video games, metal music or any other unconventional entertainment for the ills of the world because they're too afraid to tackle the real issues.
-The ease with which people dismiss the troubles of others as their own fault, no matter how severe, so they don't have to care or try to help.
-Society's tendency to see difference of sorts they aren't familiar with as Something To Be Fixed.
-The disrespect given to platonic companionship and those who prefer it over sexual sorts.
-People who believe that they're right just because they are an authority figure.
-How crude and tainted the popular culture is - and yet, the complete disdain for anything more substantial.
-Hypocrisy and people's refusal to recognize it and reconcile inconsistencies.
-People who hurt others selfishly and then turn around and say it was "for their own good."

Why doesn't this link mention Reductio ad Hitlerum ("argument to Hitler")? It's without a doubt the most used fallacy in most political message boards...

Reductio ad Hitlerum (a.k.a., "Playing the Nazi Card") takes the form of "Hitler and/or the Nazis supported X, therefore X must be evil, undesirable, and/or bad". The argument carries tremendous emotional content, as most cultures consider anything relating to Hitler or Nazis as automatically condemnable.

Then, of course, there is Godwin's Law, which states: "As a [Usenet] discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

I don't know why neither of these is included at the site I linked to, but they should be!
