I tried that when I first came to these boards, and acted civily. All the debate I got was: nazi, facist, statist, jackbooted thug, or posts similar to the one following yours. It felt like I was arguing with a liberal with all the name-calling and snide insults going on. And I actually joined in, acting childish in response. Then one day, I thought to myself, WTF? I'm not a kid in a playground, there's no need for me to act like one.
And to be fair, a good portion of the anti-drug crowd sling strong insults as well. But nowhere as hateful as the pro-drug ones, in my opinion. References comparing nazis (marching people into gas chambers) to US law enforcement agencies (who actually do solve a lot of crimes) does little but make this great website appear extremist and fringe.
If any of this post was personally insulting, it was not intended as so.
I'd love to hear a reasoned, well-intentioned, conservative-based argument in favor of the Drug War. I haven't heard one yet. Come on in and make your case---don't leave it to the Usual Suspects.
