It was simple facts, there was no enthusiasm, just a simple response to a strange question.
The “enthusiasm” was you repeating the same questions to posters.
You’re the one who steered the conversation towards alcohol and civilization in your #35. I was just following that trail a little bit further. I can see why you might want to change the subject though.
I made a relevant post on Cannabis and it’s long term effects, but you seem determined to want to switch to an entirely different thread, and are doing it with some hostility.
An interesting question is why you're so eager to change the subject from alcohol. It wouldn't be because you sense some danger in being exposed as just little bit, um, libertarian when it comes to your favored mind altering substance, would it?
Sounds like the person that said that cigarette smoke cured asthma.
Well, no one can say that you aren’t a little obsessive, it is nice that you go so long thinking about me and posting to me after a day or two of reflection.
You should start a thread about the question you started pestering us with.
Ya. Pretty stupid. What bothers me is that our kids are being fed this BS and believing it. A kid that might not normally have tried it will now be more likely to try it because it “isn’t harmful” and it is actually “good for you.” Or a kid who is already using might use more.
I remember peer pressure in high school and how it worked. And the lies that our peers told us to get us to be less inhibited. It is how many kids started smoking cigarettes, drugs, or sex.
They will say “it is good for you and not harmful because it’s LEGAL”! Nothing that is harmful would be legal, would it? s>>//>
“..and some people even use it to treat medical issues so it must be good for you. So, here try some. And oh by the way, meth is good for you too. It has the same stuff that is in cough medication.”
And so on and so on.
Yeah, but, like, they don't, like, remember that stuff...
A lot fewer idiots would have been run over by their own ox cart and would have gone on to breed more idiots instead...
Wine yes, beer no.
Alcohol’s abundant mention in the Bible.
Also gotta wonder what the motor vehicle related deaths will add up to.
They’re already considerable. They don’t know since they dont’ test for it when stopped by cops or accidents. Also a lot of people drink and smoke dope, or take other drugs and smoke dope. Cocktails.
I
I rest my case.
Thanks for playing, ansel12.
Gosh, there was no question that you were just trolling and playing games, we just didn’t know when you would tire of it.
Like I said, thanks for playing, ansel12. You’re presence on this thread has been quite entertaining.
Go past me, and into arguing with conservatives and conservatism.
I take no pleasure in going past you because, believe it or not, I respect the conservative position on marijuana legalization. Legalizing it seems to me a clear case of slouching towards Gomorrah, in the words of the estimable Robert Bork. At the same time I think libertarians have a good point that people own their bodies and that as long as they’re not harming anyone else, they should be free to do as they please. Furthermore I agree that the war on drugs has a real cost in liberty. This is one of the few issues where I am truly split 50/50, and it bugs me to see one side unfairly demonize the other when there is an intellectually honest case to be made.
