Porn, Pot and Abortion

I recall once, "daring" Jim to replay. And if he did, I would throw $20 at the FReepathon. The matter at hand was if he would allow Lazmatazz to rejoin Free Republic. Jim did reply. Laz was re-instated and I sent the $20.

Now I'll put $40 on the table. If Jim will respond with a firm statement for or against Liberaltarians... the $40 is on the way.

And I repeat... we need another one of these threads. For Liberaltarians.

Pot doesn’t make people rob steal or rape it just makes people goofy and hungry.

I know two half-brothers. One has solid woodworking skills and has no trouble holding a job and never causes anyone a like of trouble. The other is a worthless psycho with no values whatsoever who wrecks cars driving without a license and assaults people.

The former smokes pot. The latter is a crackhead.

Guess who is in jail for four years here in PA and guess who got probation for having a couple of rocks on him? Stupid, stupid, stupid law enforcement and justice. The crackhead needs to be in jail - he's gonna kill or maim someone someday.

There are plenty of mean drunks. I haven't encountered any mean stoners yet.

Just as Obama starts to talks about Health Care! Tax Reform! Social Security! Sigh. He's using superior tactics.

Exactly. The left managed to start destroying the Republican party when they divorced morality and religion from politics. Thus we have so called conservatives who only conserve a bastardized version of the constitution but conveniently forget that it was formulated and designed to work by moral people for moral people.

I'll see your $40.

That makes it $80 Jim. What say you?

[I'm hoping it won't be 'tough noogs' like your moderator claims you said? lol]

If you outlaw porn, it'll just go underground and become more worse. Child porn is already illegal, and most municipalities have strict zoning requirements preventing adult video shops from operating. I support that, and so do even most social liberals. Yes, porn is prevalent on the internet, but again even the adult websites have strict guidelines against child porn. You can't stop it from going into someone else's computer even if you banned it. They'll just move off-shore and set up shop there.

I believe that marijuana should be legalized up to a certain weight, maybe several grams or something. It should only be sold during daylight hours, those who purchase it must be at least 21 with a valid ID, and there should be strict laws against reselling it or giving it to minors. But stop this War on Drugs which is only a War on the Constitution. BTW I agree with you on abortion.

too bad he slept through his “campaign”.

That is not what happened. He was consistent in his message and clear in his message. The pubs didn't want to hear it.

Amsterdam is half Muslim. The Amsterdam elementary school kids are 80% Muslim. Amsterdam has a Jewish liberal apologist for the Muslims as Mayor.

So, the reason pot, red lights and the famous Dutch tolerance is receding is not why you think. It is the population that is changing.

If you go, and I suggest you do, because in fifteen years it won’t be safe, do not walk( yes they are that close ) far outside the usually Amsterdam tourist center. You will be in Islam land.

[DouglasKC]

You seem to be terribly confused. Let me help.

Thanks. I appreciate your gesture.

There’s a difference between killing someone (abortion) and looking at pictures of people having sex (pornography). There’s also a difference between killing someone (abortion) and consuming a drug never proven to cause harm (pot).

What are you talking about? Abortion isn't about killing someone. It's a non-viable mass of tissue. Abortion is a states right. Each state should be able to decide what limit, or NO limit on when to perform abortions. Besides why do you want to take away the LIBERTY, the RIGHTS of those poor pregnant women?

Pornography? Gosh you're too narrow minded. We should be able to do MORE than look at pictures. Live sex acts should be on stages at elementary schools. It's normal. It's natural. The constitution doesn't say we can't do it.

Come on man. If you're going to take one part of the argument go the distance!

Free Republic is overrun with Liberaltarians

LOL. Ron Paul supporters were getting zotted left and right on this board last year.

[ArrogantBustard]

My opinion of abortion has to be the most wide-open "secret" on this forum. Don't try tarring me with that brush; it won't stick and just makes you look ridiculous.

I would hope that those who actually study the post WWI alcohol prohibition, and who actually study the current prohibition on other drugs would realise that such prohibition

a) Has no effect on the real-world availability of those substances

b) Renders "outlaw" the huge drug economy, resulting in violent dispute-resolution

c) Delivers huge profit to some of the worst elements of society

and

d) Requires a huge, intrusive police-state in order to even attempt enforcement.

If that's what you want, keep up the War on Drugs ... and heck, ban alcohol and tobacco while you're at it. That should be fun.

[DouglasKC]

Is there such a thing as medicinal alcohol? Medicinal cocaine? Medicinal morphine?

Sure. But no doctor is going to prescribe a fifth of Jim Beam to overcome cancer pain. And nobody thinks moonshine cures cancer. And nobody thinks smoking crack is healthy.

[Leisler]

I don’t believe in government run schools, so that’s my out on the porn/strip/school issue.

Government in charge of thinking? What were we thinking?...er...somethng like that.

[Boxen]

Oh man, this is getting good.

[TheKidster]

I just didn’t see any excitement in it, and believe me I was gung ho for the guy but even I noticed that he wasn’t going at it as hard core as he should and then he just gave up. You are right though the R’s didn’t want to hear it, they wanted a moderate who was supposed to peel off blue dog democrats like any really exist anymore.

[starlifter]

I know...not gonna get any work done this afternoon.

[fnord]

” Free Republic is overrun with Liberaltarians

And Jim Robinson and the moderators will not take a stand. “

uhh, this is Jim’s board. Therefore, he is taking a stand, it’s just not the one you’d like.

btw, Liberaltarian?!? Is that the best you guys got left?

[tacticalogic]

Sure. But no doctor is going to prescribe a fifth of Jim Beam to overcome cancer pain. And nobody thinks moonshine cures cancer. And nobody thinks smoking crack is healthy.

Nobody thinks eating junk food every day is good for you either. Only the nanny state liberals think the federal government should stop you from doing it.

So what have you got?
