I can't offhand think of one who hasn't resorted to personal attacks (albeit not all are as low as Clint's).

Yeah, just got dismissed as a "newbie lightweight" on our last thread (Mexican gangs forcing locals to grow drugs) by one of FR's leading WODies - but not until he demonstrated the irrelevancy and evasiveness of his arguments. People that understand logic and reason can judge for themselves when perusing older threads.

Overweight, like much else, is being overmedicalized ... but I'd prefer not to let the morbidly obese die before attaining the necessary willpower.

This sounds like the liberal attitude toward guns. Is this your take on guns as well? Why are you at Free Republic?

Hit a nerve did I?

It's precisely because I am in favor of an individual and healthy 2nd. Amendment that I am not in favor of legalizing pot at this time. The rise in crimes of public violence and assassinations began with Kennedy signing the Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1963 that let the mentally ill out on the street. The rise of drug abuse, crime and violence was a result.

ALL of the notorious cases of gun violence in this country, since the Sixties, have been committed by the mentally ill being able to wander the streets of this country. These mentally ill also drove the increase in drug abuse. The mentally ill are the reason that the 2nd Amendment is being infringed. Or is that too high a concept to wrap your drug addled brain around?

So shove your, "Why are you here?" where it belongs, you friggin ignorant moron!

I agree ... but it never hurts to highlight WODdies' lack of logic and reason.

Hey, you don't have to get personal here.

"However those who are severely mentally ill do not do well on marijuana. As I've posted before, when society has a handle on the mentally ill, even if it's only re-institutionalizing them, I might agree to a limited use of pot. But if you think I am going to concede to anyone being able to cruise on down to the 7-11 for a pack of nugs, you're wrong. Take another hit, man."


I guarantee you that mentally ill people would be worse on alcohol or caffeine but I don't see liquor stores doing psychiatric screenings.

There is absolutely no good argument why marijuana is illegal but alcohol/tobacco isn't. Except, of course, for the fact that it would be difficult to tax.

Ah,,got ya, thanks.

Just an aside, my unscientific survey of these deep thinkers indicates about a 98% user rate among these posters. Most claim they don't do it anymore. None volunteers to report to jail to begin their payment to society for the exact crime they advocate others be jailed for.

Hypocrisy seems to go hand in hand with posting childish comments.

They usually do a good job of that themselves. Like post 83 above.

These mentally ill also drove the increase in drug abuse.

If you can show that the numerical increase in drug users is not substantially larger than the number of persons released by the Community Mental Health Centers Act, we'll have something to talk about. Otherwise you'll have failed to account for the former number.

What word do all pot smokers say? Heeere!

[Trailerpark Badass]

When they become violent and hurt others, not just themselves.

Violent pot-smoking criminals aren't prosecuted for their crimes?

Who knew?

[Protagoras]

you friggin ignorant moron!

Always an effective posting strategy.

[elbucko]

Yawn. Isn't a little early for the seventh grade comments?

I'm posting to the level of the argument.

Dave Chappelle, is that you? :)

[Xenalyte]

Can't you just hear him saying it?

[Pharmboy]

Yes...that is exactly part of the challenge with acute testing.

Try posting to the level of this argument: "If you can show that the numerical increase in drug users is not substantially larger than the number of persons released by the Community Mental Health Centers Act, we'll have something to talk about. Otherwise you'll have failed to account for the former number."

[Protagoras]

Correction, you SET the level of the argument.

Oh no! They made me do it! They made me post like that!

LOL

[Pharmboy]

Don't forget post # 32 also...

[elbucko]

Always an effective posting strategy.

Moron is as good as any for hose who propose the legalization of drugs before the national problem of the homeless and mentally ill on the street is addressed. The Pro-Pot croud are putting their own desire for personal pleasure ahead of our personal freedoms. The 2nd. Amendment being one of them.
