IOW, realpatriot71 is going to hold his hands over his ears and shout "LaLaLaLaLaLa", because he can't stand anybody who is against the validation of drugs.
Can't get that, though, because the NEA and Department of Education suck off the same teat as the populace.
Have you ever met someone they educated? LOTS! Look around...CDB? DBSBZ!
Maybe his Grandpa once asked him; "If you argue with a fool, who's the REAL fool?"
From your posts, it looks to me like you'd argue with a fence post; and lose.
Who said anything about validating drugs, and what do you mean by such a statement?
It takes one to know one.
The validation of drugs in society. That's it's ok to smoke a dube, smoke crack, or shoot up heroin anytime, anywhere.
It's just like how the democrats "validated" abortion in society.
It is really funny how you Libertarians want drugs legalised and validated but then say that you are not pro-drug.
You all sound like democrats(Mario Cuomo) who say they are pro-life, but will vote to keep all abortion legal.
We'll just legislate our troubles away!
Jackboots for everybody!!!
Nyah nyah ... nyah nyah...
Quick Mommy, call the cops! That man over there is smoking a marijuana cigarette!
LOL. What a deep thinker! When they finally come for you, for failing to submit to whatever Homeland Security and the National I.D. folks have in mind, for example, will you squeal that you are not "the right people"?
Warped!
I would love to ask him where he gets this "validate" nonsense, but its not worth the trouble. He doesn't answer your questions with legitimate arguments in the first place. Its just not worth my time anymore.
One way to look at it...
The legalization of a substance or behavior doesn't equal validation of it. In this country, alcohol consumption is perfectly legal, and in fact, actively promoted. But plenty of people regard it as an improper lifestyle for them (invalidating it for personal moral reasons or whatever) and they don't drink. The same could be said for gambling and for legal prostitution in Nevada. Or dirty movies. Or diet pills which are nothing more than speed. Or flying an ultra-light aircraft.Or your favorite bugaboo, abortion.
Why are you so fearful of individual liberty? What possible harm could come to you if, let's say, marijuana was decriminalized along, say, the Dutch model?
Not really. What I don't like, is reading of a 3rd, 4th, or 5th offender DWI resulting in a little kid spalttered all over the sidewalk.
It's been said that an armed society is a polite society. I think sober drivers make for polite society, too.
How many would actually swing, before the rest of the drunks figured it out.
and once you hung 'em; they wouldn't be a repeat offender.
Oh maybe such things that have also followed the Dutch model, such as state sponsored euthanasia.
Also Britain is following the Dutch model, if you want government dispensed heroin so be it.
Just as an aside, two political parties in the 2000 election made drug legalisation major parts of their campaigns(Libertarian(socially liberal), Green(envirowhacko Liberal). The Green's got 6 times the vote than that of the Libertarians, and they weren't even on the ballot in all 50 states.
IMHO, it seems that drug legalisation is a core leftwing agenda item and that it is bad for America.
