I have not done so. Quit playing the liberals' game of wrapping yourself in victimhood.
I am not going to change my opinion due to your haranguing me about it.
I believe that; I also believe that lurkers recognize who is presenting actual facts and logic, and who is not.
It is my opinion that legalizing drugs is a bad idea, and unfortunately for you, there are more voters who share my opinion than yours.
For the time being. But if only one side has any facts or logic to present, I'm confident that many opinions will change.
What exactly do you consider that statement to be? I consider that statment as saying..."your stupid".
I consider you to be wrong on the issue.
I do not think that:
1) legalizing drugs will eliminate the black market nor will it put production of drugs into the hands of more responsible producers.
2)The taxes generated by the sale of these substances will not offset the destruction wraught by the users/abusers on their families and on society as a whole.
3) Will not reduce crime, due to lower prices, but actually increase crime due to increased availablilty.
This is just a start of the counters to making drugs legal. This is why drugs will never be made legal and to suggest, as was postulated in earlier posts, that the opposite will be true is irresponsible. These are large risks that the majority of the population can identify and are unwilling to accept.
It also begs the question, if drugs are made legal, and it proves to be a bad idea...then what? Re-criminalize?
