“Besides that, what’s going to happen to legal marijuana?”

-Same thing as alcohol, that legal drug has been destroying lives for generations.

Call all you want you make no sense. I said nothing about it being legal or not.

***The more taboo you make it, the more appealing it becomes.***

“Nonsense”

-Yeah all those under age high school and college kids drinking themselves into a oblivion is nonsense.

"Not even close."

Has there been similar research done on the lingering effects of marijuana use by pilots?

More nonsense, people don’t drink because it is taboo.

Do they seek out child porn because it is taboo?

Yes. Air Force did the studies. Motor skills are reduced every bit as much as alcohol and for a similar period. The reason for the similarity is that the body excretes both substances at similar rates. My last AF flight physiology course covered the similarities in detail. The real danger is that a person can feel perfectly fine after alcohol or pot use at ground level but the minute effects are amplified many times over at higher altitudes. The regulations are being rewritten on many aspects of altitude, including minimum altitude for oxygen use, etc.

“More nonsense, people don’t drink because it is taboo.”

Really? Speakeasies weren’t ever for the taboo aspects? underage drinking isn’t because it is taboo? Just what planet do you live on?

Some things should be taboo

“I don’t think they had much problem with drugs.”

Then why did they need to apply the death penalty? Obviously, what they tried before did not work.

I must, really must, go to tje grocery store right now, so I don’t have time to return to your post point-by-point. I will try to remember to do it when i return.

For now, I have just enough time to say-no, I don’t hate Americans. I don’t hate America, what i consider to be America. Hate is not the correct word, and words matter. Also, what I consider to be America is not what she has become.

That’s all I have time to say right now, but I truly will try to remember (having old timer’s disease, you are welcome to remind me if it matters to you, and I’m not saying that my opinion should) to address your points more distinctly later.

Suffice it for now, I have my own ideas of what America was and should be (and no I don’t mean a theocracy of any kind), and what I see it becoming before my very eyes, is not that idea.

Drugs are bad. The drug war and freedoms reduced in the name of the drug war, is worse.

Of course not, how stoned are you? You think that people sought out bars because they were taboo? That is why you think the pub and nightclub has been around in the white world for thousands of years, because they are taboo?

You think that French teens and adults drink, or go to speakeasys because alcohol is taboo? You think everyone in America is seeking out child porn because it is taboo?

I-gan to Mikey: You are incoherent to a post that illustrates coherency. Discussions such as these are enlightening as to those who confuse authoritarianism with conservatism.

You think forbidding homosexual marriage or gays in the military, is authoritarian? or conservative?

There was no prohibition in either the NT or OT, nor was there a suggestion that there should be. So how does the Bible justify secular drug laws?

You have a strange posting history.

You signed up 2/15/2010, used the account for about 6 weeks, stopped, and then suddenly started posting again, about 4 days ago

I’m surprised that even the elections of 2010 and 2012 didn’t draw a post from you.

Help me, because I honestly do not see any of them in the words I write. Please cut and paste an example of:

-- liberalism
-- self pity
-- victicrat mentality

from my posts. Thank you!
