I don't know why you're bringing in bible verses here, and while I am pro-drug legalization, you're perverting what Christ said. His comment that it's what comes out of a man that is evil, not what goes in, referred to the Jewish dietary laws that would call a man evil or unclean merely for eating pork or some other prohibited food.

However, that did not mean Christ endorsed drinking to excess, gluttony, or drug abuse.

Whether an AIDS patient or a dopehead, I find it hard not to have sympathy for someone with burns over 75% of his body. There but for the grace of God...

Yeah, but this is FR, where everyone steps on each other's heads in a mad dash to declare how much holier than thou they are.

[xrp]

Damn that Patriot Act, bring back Janet Reno as the Libertarians on FR will say.

Please provide evidence of a Libertarian calling for the re-instatement of Janet Reno on FR.

Surely this is a made-up story? Nobody could be that pathetic or that stupid.

Ever hear of the nine who are running for the Demcratic Presidential nomination?

Forced to buy marijuana himself and pay rent, his friends say Mr. Appleby was reduced to scrounging through dumpsters to find the food he could no longer afford.

Trying to combat the munchies by dumpster diving? The horror! The horror!

Didn't Christ consort with beggars and prositutes?

That He did, but He didn't endorse their behavior and in fact, condemned it and called on them to make a change in their lives.

Sorry, I'm pro-drug legalization and all, but this sort of religious pandering is pretty shallow.

There is no reference to not getting a little buzz, though there are many references to drunkenness and slovenliness.

What do you think is the difference between a marijuana, cocaine, or heroin high and drunkenness? Both are inebriation and intoxication.

And after reading this incoherent rant, you may want to lay off the pipe as well, because you're all over the place.

Actually Pryor later admitted it was a suicide attempt.

Proposing this question is pandering? Or am I misunderstanding you? I do not endorse his lifestyle. Nor do I think he is something other than human.

Going through your link I found no instance of any Libertarian mentioning that the paint thinner caused the fire.

Uh dude maybe you should leave the Libertarian school of reading.

In my reply #36 to tdadmas, I explicitly said that I posted the link on "other" pro-potter threads on FR and the usual reaction from Libertarians was that it was the paint thinner's fault and not the marijuana's.

But what thet hey, you pro-pot Libertarians act like the demo's(sheer irrationality) when one of your issues most dear to you, is questioned, IMO. In this case, the issue of marijuana.

Try again, dumbass, you and cinFLA are nothing the Twins of Falsehood

Like I basically stated and implied above, you Libertarians with your rhetoric and hyperbole could actually make Hillary blush with embarassment, IMO.

I thought that would be an impossible task in todays world, but you Libertraians on FR sure try your damndest to make it happen, IMO.

[Dane]

In any case, the fire is the result of the actions of the individuals, not the paint thinner nor marijuana, both inanimate objects

Oh BTW, get back to me when paint thinner is glorified as "seeing God" and when there is a magazine out there in record stores called "Paint Thinner Times" glorifying the uses of sniffing paint thinner.

You are incorrect in your misguided assumption that I am a Libertarian.

It is nice to see that you have busted out your pom-poms over the death of this individual.

[Dane]

Could have fooled me with your reply #67. That was textbook Libertarian rehtoric(i.e hyperbole).

Hey deny it until the cock crows three times, dude.

It is a bit more than disingenous to hide behind the Peter route though, IMO.

It's shallow pandering, much like the liberals do, by oversimplifying Christ's words. Yes, Christ didn't believe that what you consumed made you evil, it's your intentions, thoughts, words, and actions (what comes out of a man) that makes one evil. But at the same time, Christ was against drunkenness and gluttony, which were about what goes into a man.

Dane says "They that live in sin shall die in sin."

Were you a writer for the CBS docu-drama on Ronald Reagan?

JMO, seems like you were.

With your liberal use of putting words in other peoples mouths and all.

It isn't surprising that someone as simple-minded as you was fooled. In any case, it is possible for one to believe in liberty and not be a Libertarian.

Whatever, but why deny being a Libertarian? You used classic Libertarian rhetoric with your reply #67. No denying that, dude.

Sheesh just admit your political being is all about pot. Cut the Hillary like posturing dude.

"It's shallow pandering, much like the liberals do, by oversimplifying Christ's words."

Well I'm sorry the questions I direct to others don't live up to your expectations. It was a simple query and meant to be just that. I do not find it necessary to impress myself with intellectual head games nor am I seeking the approval of others on this thread. To me, it is simply a matter of basic human decency regardless of which side of the WOD one comes down on.

As much as I think Osama bin Laden deserves termination, I personally would choose a swift death even if my baser impulses demanded slow and painful revenge. Your use of terms like shallow when corresponding with someone on a thread tells me you just might think you're smarter than those you're addressing. Often I pose questions of a very simple nature and other times of a very complex nature, a little like fishing. No offense taken. Have a nice day. You may want to reread my post #40.
