 A message that is not consistent:

    Working out is great for your body, it makes you look good. and it make you strong which you can lift heavy things. But, the working out will stress your muscles and will make them weaker by the time so, working out is not good for your body.


an argument that is not logically consistent:

     Most of the Terrorist bombings that happened in the US was by muslims. Any crime it happen there it could be by a muslim, therefore the muslims should be banned from travelling to the US to avoid crimes.
