About the only test that is not backed up are the home ones, which don't get you discounts on workers comp rates so no buisness uses them. Only nervous parents.
Dane is not totally stupid, but is extremely dishonest. He or she deliberately pretends to misunderstand logical and rational discussions concerning the War on Drugs. He or she uses deliberate disruption tactics on every thread in which the WOD is discussed. Changing the subject, misquoting or falsely attributing quotes and positions, starting fights, etc. All done deliberately.
Even the newbies learn real quick not to trust Dane. There's Dane and perhaps a half-dozen others on FR vying for the Most Dishonest title.
Many of us who oppose the drug war do so not out of a desire to do drugs
Why do most all drug warriors accuse people on these threads that are non-drug users of using drugs? Because they don't have a rational argument to stand on so they figure most any irrational accusation will do. You and I realize that it makes no sense, but still, that's what the drug warriors do.
More importantly, the WOD minion is a minor problem compared to the congress that empowered tens-of-thousands of drug warriors.
"I haven't been punished? I grew up in a culture where drug use was considered benign. I had Cheech and Chong pushed on me. I grew up in the late 70's when the drug culture was reaching it's "high" point. I grew up in a society where stories of the drug use of Studio 54 and rock stars were considered cool. " 130
Can't have people high on pot because it sets a bad example for children in the community, right. It takes a village to raise a child, right?
In favor of Hillary's bogus claim that it takes a village to raise a child, here's the hypocritical dark side of "people who share similar standards" 316. How about it start at home where most parents tell their children the three reality distorting lies -- flying Santa Clause, Easter Bunny and tooth fairy. Ah, but it takes a village to further distort reality in young innocent minds via telling/living the three lies. But those three lies are all told/lived in the name of having fun, right?
Is it any wonder that children are prone to telling lies considering that parents are first to teach their children by example how to lie and that it's a means to having fun -- not to mention teaching by example that getting a reality distorting buzz from alcohol is fun. Then parents try to teach their children that it's wrong to lie and do reality distorting drugs. Is it any wonder that some children chose to take reality distorting drugs to have fun. I mean, parents and the "child raising village" have taught by example that distorting reality in the name of fun is a good thing.
And there is the mentality of the drug warrior. "I will decide what type of fun you shall have."
But he did. He was punished enough because he grew up in an era where he was forced to watch Cheech and Chong movies, and hear about the goings on at Studio 54. Sounds cruel and unusual, if you ask me.
Is it any wonder that children are prone to telling lies considering that parents are first to teach their children by example how to lie ...
Children tend to learn to lie because they want to avoid the consequences of what they do wrong.
Illegal drug users want everybody to be free to do evil so they can go about their evil.

SUBJECTIVE! SUBJECTIVE! SUBJECTIVE! YOUR OPINION! YOUR OPINION! YOUR OPINION!
You really do think you are God. It's sad, really.
Article [X.]The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
I believe the ball is now in your court, now you need to find the authority to regulate intoxicants.

Because it is an evil product that hurts users and those around them. It would take a village of sociopaths to support illegal drug use.Is it any wonder that children are prone to telling lies considering that parents are first to teach their children by example how to lie ...

A CA Guy intentional injected his words into a quote and then posted it as though his words were mine. I have highlighted in red the text that A CA Guy dishonestly attributed to me. Read post #324 to verify. No doubt A CA Guy will conjure up a tail-chasing rationalization to explain how it's not a "duck" despite it looks like a "duck", walks like a "duck" and reads like a "duck".
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
None of that prevents drug law.
Why did alcohol prohibition require a constitutional ammendment?
Why are the feds putting themselves through mental contortions to make the commerce clause apply if they have the power anyhow?
Your words are in italic and my response to your empty views which I post are in non-italic directly under them. What is in red as well as in black non-italic above are what my words think of your words. That is obvious and done of FR all the time.
You are out of your tree in your remark. You should apologize. We may disagree, fine, but that was a moronic statement you made.
I also direct you to clause 8 of the constitution. Which is a laundry list of the things the congress has the right to regulate (and does'nt include intoxicants). Are you saying the first ammendment made that list moot? That all things not specifically restricted by the first are now under the congresse's balliwick?
I'll go check out the 8th now.
