Ted's quotes didn't say anything about porn.
Ted mentioned that tobacco usage and dope was bad for folks. Sorry, I disagree to the extent that it's none of his business.
A lib is lib, and you know it. Let's not play checkers with our words, OK?
Just think about all the dope people smoked at his concerts, LOL.
I think he’s quite the kook.
I do agree with his stance on firearms, however.
He said that it was bad for you, not that he wanted to ban it or that it was his business to tell people what to do.
They ARE bad for you... a fact. Irrefutable fact was the point of the article.
Just like Porn - it’s your or my, or Ted’s right to say it’s bad for folks; and it;’s the RIGHT of the folks using it to tell Ted to ‘piss off’.
I don’t care what someone thinks about my lifestyle; if they want to make an issue of it they might have to have a discussion with Sam (Colt) first :-)
Just my .02
“Ted mentioned that tobacco usage and dope was bad for folks. Sorry, I disagree to the extent that it’s none of his business.”
Yes, it is the taxpayers business because they are the ones forced to pay. Check the CDC stats on unhealthy lifestyle costs like IV drug use, homo behavior, alcoholism, etc. The rest of us are forced to pay the price at the point of a gun. If not for forced extraction of the fruits of my efforts, then fine, it is none of my business, but that ain’t reality kid.
I am astounded at the abject denial regarding certain self-evident truths, a denial that is a surefire recipe for serious injury, ruined lives, premature death and a dangerously susceptible America
I don't think Ted would legislate that you stop smoking. He would just legislate that the government ain't gonna pay for your emphysema.
Every word of that essay was true.
As he said, it was just a start. No, he didn't say anything about porn - obviously your pet peeve. But he didn't mention abortion either - and he mentions guns about 20 times.
So, we all have our little personal peeves - but you can't expect him to cover them all.
Too bad your "offended"....but your also wrong.
Stating opinions like yours is the reason Ron Paul will never be President.
