Civil disobedience is very effective at reversing laws that are widely seen as cruel and unnecessary, because there will be a large amount of people willing to fill up the jails for the cause. I don't think many people are willing to do time for Sprite freedoms. So let's not go down that path.

Logical fallacy. Just because a bad group forbids it doesn't mean it shouldn't be forbidden.

I'm sure people will survive without their Sprite. If there was a substance that is legitimately necessar to some people that's forbidden, then we can talk.

Yes, civil disobedience works, but you have to choose your battles, obviously. I was just saying I didn't think it was immoral.

My Al Qaeda example, while not strictly a logical fallacy (), was simply a joke.

Actually it is strictly a logical fallacy, or at least it WOULD be if you attempted to actually use it as part of an arguement. Although. I think that most people did understand it to be a bit of humor.

Yeah, I should have picked up on this. I think I quoted you thinking you were joking and then forgot about it while replying.

Oh well. My bad.

This is what I was saying. He assumed I wasn't on Al Qaeda's side.
