Also, try clotted cream and black current preserves on a scone for breakfast with some good coffee

Gotta love those canucky's. "Clotted cream" is probably homemade cool whip and the canucky's probably look their nose down at us, for using cool whip.

I made Sunday dinner yesterday for my parents and if I would had served the pumpkin pie with "clotted cream", instead of "cool whip", they would have given me a look saying "what the F you talking about".

Amazing how different words about the same thing can mean different things to people.

You misread. I said that your judgement was that butane should not be criminalized. You said that the principle on which this judgement is based is that it's not yet a widespread problem.

[Dane]

Gotta go, and thank you all for the great conservation at the end of this thread.

Loyalist, just to show that I ain't 100% anti-Canucky, and as a twist of fate one of Canada's greatest exports best tune came on my local radio station, BTO with "Taking care of Business".

You all take care.

[cinFLA]

Thanks for the baseless and worthless opinion.

Truth hurts, huh?

Normally, the first person who mentions Hitler or the Nazis in a conversation on FR automatically loses, but since you misspelled Hitler, I don't know quite what to think.

My question is what your standard is for deciding what dual-use technologies/products should be criminalized. I understand you believe all drugs that are currently illegal should stay illegal. What I'm trying to understand is what consistent principle you apply when you form an opinion on what dual-use items such as butane, pipes, hemp, etc. should or should not be prohibited.

"is what consistent principle you apply when you form an opinion on what dual-use items such as butane, pipes, hemp, etc. should or should not be prohibited. "

My personal consistent principle? I would say, "1) According to the manner in which the product is advertised for use, and/or 2) According to the manner in which the product is actually used.

When applying the above, I take into consideration the scope (if any) of the legitimate use of the product.

Remember the McDonalds plastic coffee stirrers that had a little spoon at the end? Turns out that the spoon was exactly .1 cc, the ideal heroin dose. That met my #1, but failed #2.

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!

[Conservative til I die]

You're fighting for legitimacy. You want society to endorse your irresponsible, selfish, self-centered, nihilistic, hedonistic, childish, lifstyle choice by making drugs legal.

Lose the ad hominems. I don't do drugs (nor have I ever voted libertarian) and neither do most of the libertarians here. And if I do wind up occasionally toking on a joint at a party, I don't feel the need to go so far as to change laws in order to justify it.

[Conservative til I die]

I thought it was Messcans raping white wimmin, not zoot suited Nergros they feared.

You threw yourself in with the rest of the pro-dopers when you asked the question. So you get thrown in when it's answered.

If you take this as a personal ad hominem, then maybe next time you'll phrase the question differently.

[MrLeRoy]

Let's make a pool about how long it takes LeRoy to join the "show" at the BB over at LP.

Why would I want to go preach to the choir, when I can educate FR lurkers by thumping WODdies here?

[MrLeRoy]

what does that have to do with his post?

I just wanted to be sure he waasn't setting himself up for a disappointment.

[MrLeRoy]

not very many lurkers come to these threads

Thanks for the baseless and worthless opinion.

Truth hurts, huh?

Provide evidence for your claim that it is the truth that not very many lurkers come to these threads.

[xrp]

Truth and cinFLA do not go together.

"I said that your judgement was that butane should not be criminalized. You said that the principle on which this judgement is based is that it's not yet a widespread problem."

Partly true.

First, we don't have a "problem" with people using butane to squeeze out the last drops of THC from low-content hemp.

Second, IF it became a problem, we'd have to ask ourselves why it became a problem (ie., what's different).

Third, IF it was determined that some kind of restriction on butane was the solution, then I proposed a voluntary addition of impurities to the butane by the manufacturer.

Lastly, IF those voluntary additions weren't being done, then I stated that I would go to plan B, federal mandatory addition.

Nowhere, ever, did I say that butane should be criminalized, or that butane should be banned.

Now someone post a Kournakova picture.

"We pro-druggies refuse to believe that pot causes white women to sleep with negro jazz musicians, much to your chagrin as well"

Totally off topic. Shows that a pro-druggie doesn't think very clearly.

"We pro-druggies refuse to believe that pot causes white women to sleep with negro jazz musicians, much to your chagrin as well"Totally off topic.

Henry Anslinger's (the father of the Drug War) comments about white women having sex with black jazz musicians has as much validity as your claim that pot kills brain cells.
