Why, that wasn't your question at all. You asked, "Is alcohol OK because it's legal".
Wow! You ask one question, I answer it honestly, then you turn right around and interpret it totally differently. Gee, I don't know if I can trust responding to your questions.
"Ever imbibe any alcoholic beverage of any kind? I ask to establish your credibility."
Uh-oh. See? Another question from you where you'll just twist my answer.
Credibility? Gee, if I drink then I'm a hypocrite and if I don't I have no credibility. I don't believe you when you say you're simply trying to establish my credibility.
So, sorry. I refuse to answer your question -- no matter how many times you ask it. I simply don't trust you.
Nice try. The truth is, you are a afraid of the answer, not the question.
You are a hypocrite. And you always have been. You call for honesty from your opponents but never exhibit it yourself. You use nonsensical statistics and mislead about what others say.
A person who uses a mood altering substance of one kind but constantly rails against a less harmful kind must confront the truth that they have no credibility on the issue. And every logical person who reads the answer has to conclude that. That sinks your leaky boat.
AND THAT, is why you will never answer. That's the truth.
