Comment: It's bad enough we already have all these American sicko's living in this country shooting up theatre, schools, churches, malls, etc., we don't have room for crazy muslims.
Answer: Identity-attack
Explanation: This comment contains identity attacks on both American and Muslim.
Part 3. Exercise
Comment: My wife had three pregnancies, each increasingly more difficult, the third literally life-threatening. Her OB/GYN told her another pregnancy would almost certainly kill her. I got a vasectomy so that (1) we could continue to have a sexual relationship and (2) to keep her alive and healthy. It most certainly was a "health care issue"/
Answer:
Non-identity-attack
