Well, with 800,000 marijuana arrests each year, obviously not everyone is smoking at home like you are, huh? So what's your point? We should make an exception in the laws for just you?
It's all about you, isn't it?
In the 1980's in Alaska, marijuana was legal only for adults, only in small amounts, and only at home. According to a 1988 University of Alaska survey, Alaskan teens were smoking pot at twice the national teen average.
A referendum was passed in 1990 making marijuana illegal. By the year 2000, Alaskan teen use dropped to within 1% of the national average.
Don't tell me your smoking at home doesn't damage society. Don't tell me your smoking has no effect on anyone else. Don't tell me that society has no right to determine the laws under which we all agree to live.
So, now that you know that your smoking DOES harm others, are you going to stop? No, somehow I think you'll manage to continue living your self-centered, immoral, hedonistic lifestyle and screw everybody else, right?
"Don't tell me your smoking at home doesn't damage society. Don't tell me your smoking has no effect on anyone else. Don't tell me that society has no right to determine the laws under which we all agree to live."
Seems you just do not want to hear it. It seems you want society to make laws UNTIL such time as YOU disagree with them.
In a country where individual liberty is the very fabric of our society...YES in this example I gave to you it IS all about ME. Context sir, learn about it.
"So, now that you know that your smoking DOES harm others"
You have demonstrated NO such thing.
"self-centered, immoral, hedonistic lifestyle and screw everybody else, right?"
Everything you said there is perspective judgment that you make towards me and you don't even know me!
Maybe it is time you look in the mirror. OOOps maybe that is what you were doing when you went on such a name calling tirade.
What you exhibit in this post is lashing out at a person that put you in your place using your own words to do so.
You sir, are an ideolog that wishes to impose his own views on all people. You sir, act in concert with Osama Bin Laden.
You exhibit the very same mentality that claims to know what is right for all people and will impose blanket policy towards all people. Such grand company you keep.
Hamburgers make you fat, thus a health risk BAN EM right?
Cigs are bad BAN EM right?
Alcohol is bad right? BAN THAT TOO....ooops already TRIED that HUH?
Now I suppose I could call you a lying, truth distorting, propagandist that seeks to impose his will in an imperialistic, archaic fashion. I could also say that you ignore reality and make any claim that sounds good to you at the time. I could call you a leftist liberal freakazoid that thinks he knows all peoples lives, the circumstances under which they live them and all peoples bodies well enough to make all peoples decisions for them. I could say you are a one that seeks to remove all liberty from anyone who disagrees with you.
But I wont say those things to you.
You know why?
You already know all these things as you spout them loudly with every post you make.
I notice that you didn't address the little 'fib' you told about all the 'polls' you have seen.
Gee I wonder why that is.......
Dude, you crack me up.
