Ever notice that the people on COPS look eerily similar to our good friends on the Jerry Springer stage? By the way, check out this website for the evidence that ties it all together. :)

Millennium: you are the one who is wrong. BBWF said, "Sometimes a cop asks to search because they are d8cks or corrupt." My question to you is this: what part of SOMETIMES do you not understand?

It was never a question of the word sometimes. I asked how a cop was a di&k or corrupt because he wanted to search you car. Evidently you should go back and read the thread a little more closely.

You are doing very well in your attempts at mastering the art of rotating the premise and the conclusion. For the third or fourth time, it's not "some cops are d1cks and/or corrupt because they want to search your car," but rather, "some cops search your car because they are dicks and/or corrupt." This will (probably, if I can resist the temptation) be my last post in this thread. It is clear that you are either not against using various logical fallacies to support your false argument, or you are just too proud to admit that you made a mistake the first time you read BBWF's statement.

"Sometimes a cop asks to search because they are d8cks or corrupt"

Why does he think a cop must be a dick or corrupt to search a car? Answer that simple question. Exactly which logical fallacies were I using? Be sure to show me which sentence of my posts they apply to. I try to debate without using fallacies but you obviously feel the need to accuse people of whatever when they don't further your agenda.

First, to answer your question for the 10^2648th time, he didn't say that. Stop changing what he said to suit your own purposes. Now, answer this: if it is not by engaging a logical fallacy, how then are you able to switch the cause and the effect (conveniently changing the whole meaning of the sentence to suit your purposes)? I can not necessarily make the assumtion that you are doing this on purpose (there have been more idiotic people than that here at ATOT), so here are a few other examples (in addition to the many posted earlier, which you somehow managed to ignore) of why that doesn't work...

Before: "My plants grow because I fertilize them."
After: "I fertilize my plants because they grow."

Before: "I scanned that document because I wanted a digital copy of it."
After: "I wanted a digital copy of that document because I scanned it."

Before: "I put a coat on because it was cold outside."
After: "It was cold outside because I put a coat on."

Before: "I carried an umbrella with me because it was raining."
After: "It was raining because I carried an umbrella with me."

Before: "The hard drive in my laptop crashed because I dropped the laptop."
After: "I dropped the laptop because the hard drive in it crashed."

Of course, due to my first example, you're probably going to accuse me of being a pothead as well. Needless to say, that couldn't be farther from the truth. Actually, I enjoy growing aquatic plants in my aquaria, but the chances of you believing that are very slim.
