Those whose cable systems deprive them of the pleasure of watching some hot business-babes--and Stossel, of course, and Imus in the Morning, and now also The Judge--on FBN need not to be concerned that they're missing something the rest of us take for granted. All the previous Stossel shows on FBN are available for viewing after a couple of weeks at hulu.com in wide-screen format (although not hi-def, good enough for a computer screen), as authorized by FBN. All the shows previously posted on youtube have been taken down.

How about we end it by everyone quitting using recreational drugs?
Amen!
I was in a thread here the other day about some woman’s treatment of her children. She was a druggy.
People had comments like “Tell me drugs don’t hurt innocent people!?”
If you accpet that argument, then you must be for gun control too. Right?
I mean, in either case it’s the “thing” rather than the “person” responsible.
how does he feel about child prostitution?
lol
They won’t do it. Its somebody elses fault. LOL
“how does he feel about child prostitution?”
I presume that he favors a legal age for drugs, just like for alchohol.
And if the isse were prostitution, I imagine the same approach would prevail. Make it legal at 18, 21, whatever society decides.
Look man, if I wanna ingest PCP and put your head through your windscreen while screaming about zombies, that's my ****ing right, man!!!
The drug issue has destroyed the Libertarian Party. (Not that there was much left anyway.)
I mean, in either case it’s the “thing” rather than the “person” responsible.
The primary difference being that owning a gun doesn't alter your behaviour or brain chemistry.
You first.
No booze.
No cigarettes.
No caffeine.
Personally, I’m not for telling anybody what to ingest.
I don’t use drugs, but not because they’re illegal and if I wanted to use them, the fact that they’re illegal wouldn’t stop me............and, if they were made legal tomorrow, I’d still not use them.
If they were made legal, I suspect there might be some increase in use, but that may be a temporary statistical spike. I suspect there is a certain percentage of folks who will use drugs regardless of legality.
I’d guess that drugs in the workplace would still be taboo. I’d like to see people arrested not for drug use, but the stupid things they do when high.
These War on Drugs threads are depressing, because they demonstrate just how entrenched the ideas of Big Government and the nanny state are even among so-called conservatives. It is shocking, quite frankly, how many “conservatives” are happy to set Constitutional limits aside when it comes to things they don’t approve of.
You are so right, as most of the others who try to turn liberty into license are so wrong.
Stossel already did a segment on prostitution, which is worth a whole show on network TV. Of course, they'd never get away with it even if so inclined due to fear of sponsor retaliation.
“Look man, if I wanna ingest PCP and put your head through your windscreen while screaming about zombies, that’s my ****ing right, man!!! “
You have the right to ingest the PCP. The rest of it should get you hung with a short drop and slow strangulation, so that you think about the consequences of it before you do it. Being intoxicated, even if legal, is still no excuse.
They need to at least get straight with Commerce Clause.
Hey man, murder's ****in' legal, 'cause it's not mentioned in the Constitution!
Hey man, George Washington was against the War on Drugs cause he grew ****in' hemp, man!
/typical libertarian arguments
You curious about having a child prostitute?
Oh...yeah...I was just “kidding”.
