[QUOTE="Dale Carlson, post: 601866, member: 56095"] OK, Rich, here's what I'm getting from you - that domestic violence, assaults, fights, traffic accidents, and mugging incidents have some unnamed number/percentage of intoxicated people involved. Therefore, it's then OK to round up all of the drunks to protect them and/or their victims from danger. In some circles, that would be called profiling. Arab Muslims bombed the USS Cole, the US embassies in Africa, and crashed airplanes into the WTC, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. [sarcasm]Therefore, all Arab Muslims need to rounded up and thrown in jail. [/sarcasm] Hmmm, how about this one: Blacks are convicted of much of the violent crimes, homicide, and theft crimes in this country. [sarcasm] Let's stop all of the blacks on the road and make sure they're staying out of trouble, and to see how many we catch those who are up to no good while we're at it. [/sarcasm] (My African-American call this last one getting stopped for Driving While Black). You haven't proven anything. There is a fallacy in your argument. That many incidents are caused by drunks, does NOT mean the reverse is true - that all drunks will cause an incident, so we need to round'em up. You're making assumptions of what people are going to do. A equals B does not equal C. [/QUOTE]
