So you think people have no right to be free from narcotic fumes smoked by others then... because that was the thrust of my argument, not the personal attack.Did you miss this:
I also support open container and public drunkenness laws, and would do the same with legal marijuana.
?
To: Trailerpark Badass
I am very comfortable with separate regulations vis a vis public versus private spaces
Your logic is inconsistent with your claimed beliefs.
Alcohol is, in most jurisdictions, illegal to consume in public
It's generally not illegal to get drunk in a college apartment, and in my college it wasn't even against the rules for those over 21. Your example does not apply.
It’s also nice to know you think it should be legal to smoke pot wherever it’s legal to get drunk. This is exactly the kind of nonsense I complained about to begin with. You can’t get someone drunk by being around them while you’re drinking.
To: messierhunter
And go ahead and try to get me banned, I don't care.LOL, why would I do that? You're hilarious.
If I had known FR was so full of pot heads I never would signed up.
You know, some people think pot should be legal, and they don't even smoke.
I've had the real life druggies threaten my life enough already, I have no desire to set off online drug heads too.
You have an active fantasy life.
That can be either good or bad. Keep an eye on it.

Has nothing to do with a right not to ingest such fumes. You can drink in "public places" just not out in the open. Ironically, it'd be easier to avoid high concentrations of pot smoke if it were only allowed out in the open than it would in the "private" places where drinking is allowed. Nothing you said indicates a belief that people should have a right to demand others not smoke pot around them.

The death threat made on my life was anything but fantasy.

Your logic is inconsistent with your claimed beliefs.hardly. though your grasp of "logic" appears somewhat tenuous.

Every college DORM I am aware of it is. Nice dodge, though.

Not in mine it wasn't. Technically they were "on-campus apartments" with individual bedrooms though. Nice try.
To: messierhunter
You're tedious...and tendentious.
Have a joint, it would help.

If we were taliking about abortion then your personal choice beliefs would identify you as a ....wait for it.....
liberal.
What about my personal choice to own a gun? Or an SUV? Or to have my own medical insurance, not the government's Obamacare? Or drink alcohol? Or eat steak?
In most things, even dangerous things, conservatives favor personal choice. (Abortion being the exception, which, conveniently enough, you zeroed *right* in on.)
Even in well regulated freedom, people are free to choose things that are bad or stupid. Otherwise it's not really freedom. It's just getting others to obey at gunpoint. Certainly, that's what the liberals want. Enforced obedience to their moral code. It shouldn't be our aim, though.

Thanks for this brilliant display of blatant disrespect for my rights and wishes not to ingest such fumes. I'm done trying to get this intolerant pot head to recognize my breathing rights. Have a nice day.

To: A CA Guy
I haven’t touched the stuff since 1977 and think using it is stupid. It is also hard for me to take seriously a government that considers alcohol legal and pot illegal. Alcohol is much worse.
I firmly think Pot should be legal. I think individuals should be able to grow it in their gardens right next tot the tomatos if theys choose.
It is one thing i agree with libertarians on. Let the gov tax it like tobacco, instead of spending billions arresting and incarcerating private citizens for something so trivial. Not to mention the general perceived lack of freedom created by the private property confiscation laws and other tools used by the police force, as seen in “Cops”.
I would like the government to leave us the he!! alone!
I applaud Arnold.
I also think that if marijuana is legalized, it is going to create some new problems.

>>Smoking pot is stupid, but it should be legal nevertheless.<<
I concur. That sums up my perspective.

Put an Irish pub on one street and a “pothouse” on another and see which one has the most fist fights, ambulances, etc.

WHY NOT try legalizing it and taxing it and see how it works out...the government can always make it illegal again (like being illegal does any good now...)
