What was the question?


We can keep bumping this article back to the top for the rst of the summer as far as I'm concerned...

[lugsoul]

You gave no examples. You just baldly claimed there were a bunch of them. Of course, I sure you don't understand the difference. And you did say it was MY logic. And you were lying.

[lugsoul]

#607 and #631

You are truly dense. You just refuse to get the point. I don't want any of this to be illegal. I don't care if you eat a thousand cheeseburgers and your heart explodes. Do you understand that this is the difference between us? I don't want to put you in jail for your self destructive practices (which, by the way often have consequences for those around you).

[presidio9]

Without reference to alcohol, I asked you to articulate your arguments why pot should be illegal.

Um, Mr. Jefferson, pot is, like kinda, already illegal. You are the one who need to find a cogent argument for changing the status quo. So far, you haven't. But what the heck, right? We're only 800 posts into this thread (which is one of hundreds).

[commonerX]

I argee and that's my point. Some people, say people who do drugs (will) go out and harm someone else. To them it's not a question of a few but everyone who does it. But those same people can't seen to relate that idea to alcohol.

[lugsoul]

"Just the truth, which hurts, don't it?"

You certainly would not know anything about that. The truth, that is.

[presidio9]

Riiiight. So then tell me, why does our society so desperately NEED legalized mind-altering drugs?

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Whoops - okay, here it is: Presidio9 - a serious question:

1) Do you believe that intoxicating substances which, when abused, cause societal problems and cause problems for persons in close proximity to abusers should be outlawed and that their use should be subject to criminal penalties?

2) If so, do you believe that such criminal penalties should be limited to those substances presently illegal, or should additional substances which meet the standard in #1 be added to the prohibition list (i.e. ecstacy in the 80s)?

3) If the former, why?

4) If the latter, can you think of anything not currently on the list that should be?

5) BONUS: Can you name an illegal intoxicating substance of which use was eradicated by making the substance illegal and aggresively pursuing criminal convictions of those who possessed it? How about substantially reduced?

Double bonus - what is a pro-job nut?

LOL, why waste the time, answering such silly drivel?

[lugsoul]

Is that it? That's your position? If it is already a law, it is a good idea? Thanks for the laugh.

[presidio9]

Whatever. Go back and read the thread yourself. Or don't I care not. I am just interested in bumping Ozzy Says He Now Believes Pot Leads To Other Addictions to the top as often as possible. And you are giving the opportunity to do so.

And all you've got left is fales accusations that a child could investigate. Son, cut back on the drugs. They're messing with yout mind.

[lugsoul]

That's right. Why should anyone actually have a logical, coherent reason for taking a position, when they can just take one?

[ActionNewsBill]

I don't need a beer.

You need something, dude.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

It's fun to duel with someone who just doesn't get it. LOL

[presidio9]

Nope. I think it is a good law, and society agrees with me. You seek to change society's mind. Go ahead, try doing so without making an idiotic comparison to alcohol. Thus far, you haven't been able to do so.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

What gets me is that you are telling him point blank what we are doing, and he still doesn't get it. LOL, LOL, LOL...........................

[ActionNewsBill]

And I am berating Libertarians here, not fellow Conservatives.

I know you keep telling yourself that, and quite possibly you may even believe that.

There are many real conservatives who do not support the drug war.

Calling yourself a conservative is the height of arrogance.

I have two webbed toes. My mother, believe me never smoked pot, I never even seen her drink. Webbed toes are genetics hand down by ones ancestors, my cousin has the same two toes webbed and her daughter has the same as well.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

That's right. Why should anyone actually have a logical, coherent reason for taking a position, when they can just take one?

And you do it so well............

[presidio9]

You need something, dude.

That is the kind of thinking that has led you to screw up your life to the point where you let chemistry dictate your happiness. I pity you.
