Goodnight
Sure. I'd support outlawing Whiskey in all 50 states.
I've never seen any good come of it and it's destroyed the lives of millions.
Those who peddle it peddle nothing but death and destruction.
And don't get me going on all the immoral behavior it has caused.
I have 3 family members who owe their demise to it.
A corrupt, marxist government.
A faggoty, depraved culture.
A citizenry of druggie wastrels.
America-2014. Nation in decay. Up close.
Using sugar to the point of overeating, being overweight or sick is Gluttony, plain and simple. It is a moral weakness; it is clearly equal to being a drunk in the Bible; and Gluttony is absolutely a sin.
The Bible is crystal clear on this with no room to wiggle. Christians often don't like to hear it, but they are wrong to ignore it. It is no better than being a drunk or being an addict.
Proverbs 23:20-21 “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.”
Proverbs 28:7 “He who keeps the law is a discerning son, but a companion of gluttons disgraces his father.”
Proverbs 23:2 “Put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.”
There are even verses specifically about eating too many sweet things:
Proverbs 25:16 "If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, lest you have your fill of it and vomit it."
Abusing anything one might put into one's body is a sin, period. To say otherwise is to deny the Word.
So a police state is the better solution for you? Hemp should have never been criminalized; there never was a good case for it. It was not a problem for the first 160 years. Not until Hearst and Anslinger created a problem by hook and crook.
They are not out of line with the claims in the study. I would particularly emphasize the issue of dependency. Almost every pot smoker I have ever known had to smoke multiple times a day.
Years ago I read of an account of Japanese soldiers killing themselves after losing a battle. The suicides became so prolific that the Emperor had to strictly forbid the practice. You see, having soldiers kill themselves needlessly hurt their war effort.
I would argue that soldiers killing themselves was very much the business of a Government that needed them.
I think members of society are also needed. A government can tolerate some doing it, but at some point when it reaches a critical threshold, a government cannot survive if people keep doing it.
> Do you know the difference between a drunk driver and a stoned driver?
A drunk driver will blow right past a stop sign. A stoned driver will sit & wait for it to turn green.
LOL...
There was a 29 or 30 some yr. old guy living in our area who was said that he was always high. It was said to me that if it weren’t for pot he’d probably be one bad dude without it....
So apparently it mellows some folks who would ordinarily be violent.
Even so ...I’m not for it’s legalization and believe it’s a terrible mistake that it is now.
Oh, I’d trust my grandparents’ generation, and my great-grandparents’ generation, and further, going back those 160 years, to handle the proposition of dope being “legal.” Because they and their ilk had the moral character and the societal structures and institutions to handle such a responsibility.
That’s not something I accord to the current American populace, overflowing as it is with self-absorbed, degenerate scumbag filth, devoid of responsibility, and harboring warped levels of entitlement. The kind of people and the kind of population that elected Obama. No, I don’t trust them one single iota. I don’t trust the “state,” but I also don’t trust my fellow Americans, who have paved the way for the current national suicide. Led by hippie-dopehead trash.
Hard to break the blood thirsty from their habit! Any excuse to murder and abuse humanity!
The War on Drugs was declared by Nixon because he to loathed hippies, Democrats, and related ‘filfth’. That hate isn’t righteous as the WoD has become the cornerstone for our emerging police state.
We are inclined to excess in almost every way, whether it be what we imbibe, what we think, or what we speak. It is best to temper life with what is written in the biblical texts, but no one will understand them by his own reason or strength. Those who *do* read them and understand them receive a proper crucifixion from both sides: those who espouse self-righteousness, and those who espouse lawlessness. What is given from Above - including all of creation - is to be received with joy and humility, not pride and despair.
On the other hand recreational pot use is meant only to change someone's brain chemistry and make them high or "euphoric".
Sugar and pot are not equals.
Goodnight
“We be coming”?
Don’t make yourself out as a fool.
I’ve been here since about ‘98, and if you check my postings you’ll see I’m hardly a Dem.
You, on the other hand...............
So you must be on board with fedgov efforts to curb obesity by regulating what we eat. Right?
“i’m entering text via voice recognition”
Is that a special app or is it built in?
No I’m in favor of letting people face the consequences of their actions.
Unreal!!!
