I just don’t understand drinking and driving

You should look into that course above but then it is unlikely that you can understand such concepts as Ad hominem attacks

You seem to have learned a new term "ad hominem" and, like everything else you do, you are using it compulsively, in post after post, and not using it entirely accurately to boot.

When used in an abusive way, an ad hominem attack can point out a genuine character flaw in the other person--it's simply irrelevant to an argument, but it can be quite accurate in describing the other person, as is the case when I call you an idiot, or others call you an asshole, or a creep, or a moron.

And you use abusive ad hominem attacks on others, particularly me, all the time. One of your favorites is to call me "dishonest" because you can't refute what I've said, or, in some instances, even comprehend what I've said.

Even Firefly who mounts such attacks far more smoothly then you do end up looking like a fool with no arguments that she had any faith can hold up on their own worth.

Well, it's a little hard to decipher the meaning of that statement, given its lack of coherency, but I think I can safely say that I am more than capable of making an argument that can hold up on its own merits, without having to insult you as a way to defend my point of view or discredit yours. I insult you because I find you offensive. Plain and simple.

You get insulted, quite regularly, by a good number of people at A2K, and it is not because it is a way of trying to advance an argument. You get insulted because your often boorish behavior invites insult. You ask for it. And, you, quite honestly, deserve it.

I never plan to drink and drive but this has given me another reason not to do it.

So you are into old she devils to each his or her own....LOL

The only time it becomes a fallacy is when the person says, "You are wrong because you are an idiot." If they just call you an idiot, that doesn't make an adhom. There is a subtle but distinct difference. Hard for some people to pick out perhaps?

No you are wrong because you must be a drunk if you dare to have that opinion on the BAC limt for DUI being too low or you must be a child porn collecter for daring to express the opinion that the current federal guide lines for having CP is too harsh.

My background tend to make me view the world in a logical way and if drive me crazy when there are feel goods laws that often end up causing more harm then good such as in my opinion this BAC of .08.

First there is no sharp and clear border line where a BAC level should be criminal or not criminal and my problem with a .08 limit is that any driving impairment from that level of drinking is similar to driving while doing a lot of others things that degrade driving skills to that degree that is not criminal such as in my state talking on a cell phone, driving while missing a night sleep, driving while emotionaly upset or not feeling well or...............

Next using resources to look for low level BAC drivers by check points tied up a lot of police manpower that could be out on patroling the roadways looking for the real danger those who are at BAC high enough to be detected by that person driving manner down the highway.

Removing one driver from the highway that is 1.5 or higher is reducing the risk of accidents or deaths by as must as taking 20 to 40 low level BAC drivers off the highway

Of course as you stated the .08 check point drivers are a large cash cow to the state.

Why drinking and not other things that degrade driving?

Howabout someone who work all day and then hung around a bar or a party drinking diet cokes and then drove home at 4 am and were so tired from lack of sleep he kill someone on the way home.

Why is drinking deserve some special punishment for doing so but not others things just as dangerous as having a few drinks.

Next you have the task of showing that whatever drinking was done was the primany cause of the death unless you picked some BAC level out of the air and declare any death with a blood such a level is going to be assume the cause of the death.

In other words let's write the laws as if we were Gods, for whom every action is the perfect representation of our will.

Humans make mistakes, we are failable, the law which does not take this into consideration is inhumane.

Your willingness to beat heavily on humans for one bad act is babaric.

**** you pitiful bitch!

We celebrating bitch,

Not if you had a life of your own honey.
