So to all on this thread, suffice it to say that, after what happened to my sister, you can count on me to NEVER be in favor of legalizing drugs.
Rant and rave all you like. Twist what I have said. Ignore the parts you don't wish to acknowledge. Use all the silly hyperbole you like. None of that is going to change my position. . .it is not going to change how and for whom I vote.
If that bothers you, so be it. I'm sure it doesn't bother you near as much as having your sister raped and thrown out a window.
Good day to you all.

You are cetainly entitled to your opinion, and I respect them.
However, I have witnessed property crimes committed by black and hispanic men repeatedly (never once by a white man). I don't call for outlawing black and hispanic people. I had my car totalled and I was injured by someone who wasn't paying attention. I didn't call to outlaw cars.
Any instrument can be used for a good and bad purpose. Because some people use it for bad, I would hold the person accountable, and not the instrument.
If you use every cicrumstance in your life that has caused some harm, you could possibly make the case that everything except pillows, vitamins, and water should me made illegal.
Then again, there are enough a$$holes in the world that could probably figure out a way to hurt people with those items too.
Because 10%-20% of the population are scumbags, doesn't mean you outlaw things for everyone else to keep the scumbags in check, IMHO. Then again, that's just my opinion. I respect yours, and I hope you do the same.
No one is surprised at this, in fact, we expect this of you. You've no remorse in your disregard for facts. Btw, your sibling story sounds remarkably like another that was told to me. Without the veil of anonymity, and upon questioning, I found that the 'story' was a cover for a much greater, and sadder story, where the devil weed only played a tangential part. In this story the perverted uncle played a much greater role.
It seems any time I post to one of these pro-drug legalization threads, I get 20 pro-legalizers posting to me at once.
"It seems any time I post to one of these pro-drug legalization threads, my obvious illogic gets immediately pointed out by the saner. I'm sick of it."

"So to all on this thread, suffice it to say that my personal experience has permanently warped my judgment and blinded me to logic. My position is set in stone and I'm far too emotionally invested in it to even consider changing it, no matter what facts or evidence is presented to me."
Rant and rave all you like. Twist what I have said. Ignore the parts you don't wish to acknowledge. Use all the silly hyperbole you like.
"Point out all the facts you like. Demonstrate the clear contradictions and flaws in what I have said. Show that I ignore all responses to requests for proof. None of it matters."
None of that is going to change my position. . .it is not going to change how and for whom I vote.
"My mind is completely closed! No matter how clearly you show that the War on Drugs does many times more harm than drugs themselves, I don't care! Logic means nothing to me!
If that bothers you, so be it. I'm sure it doesn't bother you near as much as having your sister raped and thrown out a window.
"My sister was defenestrated, and that trumps everything!"
Good day to you all.
"Way deep down, or even not so deep down, I realize how thoroughly I've been beaten in this thread. Every point I've made has been shot down, and I've failed utterly to respond to the points raised against me. Despite the many people pointing out the negative consequences of the War on Drugs, all I've been able to come up with in defense is 'my sister was attacked by a druggie, so there'. I completely fail to see that my so-called logic could also be used to ban guns, or cars, or even oxygen for that matter. Please, make the pain stop. I'm going to go away now to lick my wounds and try to figure out what I did wrong, only to repeat the experience the next time a drug thread gets posted."
