So you want to ban the cognition-lessening drug alcohol? (Or are you a hypocrite?)
Most break ins—are done by drug users. Most thefts are done by drug users.
Do you have evidence for these dubious claims? And have you stopped to consider that drug prohibition, by hyperinflating the cost of drugs, does much to increase break-ins and theft?
I was in speech class, where this guy who was 20 explained how pot almost destroyed his life-—and he had to go through drug treatment. He explained how it destroys motivation and productivity and makes one “not care” about things happening around him. [...] I have been at pot parties before and I will tell you they are the most stupid, dumb people I have ever been around.
And as Ueriah said, he knows pot smokers who don't fit these patterns.
Trying to make illicit drug use a Virtue [...] Justice will not exist in a country which promotes Vice
To refrain from criminalizing an act is not to make it a virtue nor to promote it. It is not against the law to insult one's spouse.
Alcohol can be used as an aid to health. I drank beer for the protein when I nursed my children who went on to graduate with honors from Stanford and Boalt Hall. I can drink with dinner but it never affects my brain power and I have never been “drunk” since once in college when I was drinking vodka. :) I was into vice at that time—anti-God-—vice breeds vice and I was stupid and naive.
There is no known benefits from most drugs like cocaine and pot which actually contain harmful toxins for the body and/or lungs and brain.
So you want to make drugs real cheap so all immature children will be seduced into polluting their bodies and become addicted (just like my classmate) and destroying their brain (studies prove it). That is really wise. When you have a society that can promote Vice to children with the power of the public schools and planned parenthood and perverts being able to seduce children into their godless worldview-—you want to make drugs affordable to them too?
Free Republics have to promote ‘public virtue”-—Founders. Just Law is law which promotes “excellence” and the “Good” (Virtue;Justice is the first cardinal virtue. Without virtue, you can NOT have a CIVIL society. You need masters when you are not in control of your emotions and mind.
Manson’s friends were all on drugs and they didn’t really care about money. Look at the prisons-—most gangs and prostitutes and degenerates are all addicted to drugs. I am not going to google it-—I have for 10 years—and it all comes up the same. Degeneracy breeds degeneracy. Vice breeds Vice. People who do evil things to their own bodies and sodomize others —will demean and dehumanize all people. (the sodomite Hitler comes to mind).
Without Virtue, you can not be Virtuous and Good. The Greek Masters stated (correctly) that ALL Virtues are necessary to be virtuous. In other words if you were not Wise —you could not be Just. If you were not courageous, you would not be able to do the Just thing when courage was needed. If you didn’t have Temperance, you would not be Wise, etc.
It has all been known since Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics. That is why we had the great scientists in Western Civ-—the Wisdom and Virtues—which spawn excellence. Virtue is excellence.
To insult one’s spouse is evil. It is immoral (vice). That is why a Free Republic needs the Judeo-Christian Religion (US government is not supposed to rule people—they rule themselves by pursuing the “Good” —known as Happiness to the Greeks)-—to make people restrain from doing evil by their own internal moral efforts.
Without religious people, there can be no Free Republic, because there can be no Virtue without the Judeo-Christian Religion (Nietzsche). When you kill God—you kill man’s value system. You destroy the concepts Right and Wrong—and chaos will result. It is like playing a BB game with no rules-—can’t happen without an Absolute rules. End up in a fight every time, or anger and an unfinished game. We used to have God Given Rights in this country-—not rights from every tom dick and barney. There is a difference because one leads to injustice (vice) and only God’s Laws lead to Virtue.
An I repeat: For a Free Republic to exist, it is necessary to promote public virtue. (Our unconstitutional public schools are promoting vice and pride in vice—habituating children into a godless, perverted worldview).
Without Virtue, there can be only chaos and tyranny. (all Founders, Machiavelli, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, Blackstone, etc.)
