No!
Not Disney World.
Those are truly fighting words.
What will parents promise their kids in order to get them to shut up if there's no Disney?

I lay my sword at the feet of the master.

I'll prove it, gosh darn it!
"It appears cross-waving apples are being used to distract us from sword-waving oranges."

Such is where I had to drive during the 70s.
I recall when a sheriff's deputy asked me to taste some excellent peach-flavored moonshine.
He said they had smashed the still of a moonshiner who really took pride in his work.
I'm sure that moonshiner built another somewhere else.
That county is still dry.

I'm sure you could.

I expect that there will ultimately be a significant backlash of a military nature only it will be civilians that do it. This is why the 0 is trying his best to have gun control.

So you're ok with wholesale infringement of people's rights? what they do with their property? What they do in their own home (for example people making their own alcohol)?

You're content to punish the masses for what a few do rather than punish the ones that do it? You were against the repeal of Prohibition even though it proved completely ineffective at preventing the sale of alcohol and led to the rise of modern organized crime?

Or are you just an idiot that likes to ask ridiculous questions with the insinuation that some other person might not be able to hold a more nuanced position than you merely because you cannot.?

Thanks, though I coulda wrote that sentence better.

I disagree with your definition of a straw man, and I am not sure of your point in your last paragraph. I agree that decisions must be made on solid reason and is why I brought up the issue of the existing bluelaws already on the books. They are the Christian version of Sharia. Your position on alcohol in my opinion misses the point of personal resposibility. Lots of things impair our ability to make good decisions. I am not comfortable with government making those laws. That is why I condemn the actions ie causing an accident while dui or texting. Legislating against a cause creates too many unintended consequences.

this is a side-effect of the Ds bringing in loyal new D voters

So I guess I would ask the question: do you support or oppose the sale of alcohol to minors?

Oh God, I'm afraid memories are all we are
gonna have, whether it's Detroit, Boston,
Phoenix, LA, Brooklyn, Queens.....

Try to re-post it. I've sometimes encountered posting issues, but I've never had a post deleted by someone else, although I understand that the forum owners have that ability.

On a serious note what makes sharia schools safe from terrorism? How about blowing them up??

A straw man is to intentionally define the argument in such a way that it is definitionally contradictory and therefore false. I did not present a straw man, I presented an example of what effects society suffers as a result from alcohol consumption and asked if you were satisfied with that result. If your viewpoint is that it is okay to delude one's perceptions of reality to the point that those affected more easily infringe on others rights, I just want that to be clarified.

Objecting to the source of any particular law is to avoid the validity or invalidity of the principle itself. I always start with the principle and work forwards to establish the potential validity of the philosophy as a result.

how true..i am reading "infidel" ...i highly recommend it...

I believe that would be a definition of a straw man. I condemn the actions. It is up to an individual to make choices for their life.

Most city ordinances limit the location of businesses selling alcohol or adult themed products. Basic planning and zoning stuff. It appears to me they are applying the laws that were applied to churches to include mosques. For the record, I disapprove of the policy in either application. Blue laws are not based on reason and constitute a taking of an individual's property.

Good comment

There is a concept, "normalcy bias," that is afflicting millions of Americans, making it impossible for them to see that the Islamization of America is planned, and being executed brilliantly, preying on that "normalcy bias" to keep them from seeing the facts, the truth, the plan, and the eventual shariah takeover of the USA. From Wikipedia: "The normalcy bias, or normality bias, is a mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster and its possible effects. This may result in situations where people fail to adequately prepare, and on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations."
