    If someone stated they like the color blue, and another person states that red is better, asserting that the first person hates red. That would be a stawman.

    Op stated unskilled labor means no prior experience.

    Comment stated then why is it ok to give slave wages.

    OP was not making an argument about wages. Making the comment a starwman since they are arguing a point that was unrelated to the original argument.

      Ah, okay, I thought the straw man accusation was pointed at the fellow defining unskilled labor. My bad!

        I get you. Ya I was supporting GBU, not saying they were making the stawman.
