D:That is such a doped out lie. Pr: Anyone who wants illegal drugs can get them anytime they want. And they do.

DennisW has rigorously demonstrated that you committed an error. WHat you said was not true --- and does not become true from mere repetition: the person that wants drugs for the first time will have to expand a considerable effort to find them. It is also more risky in this case, for he may even ask a wrong person.

Perhaps, DennisW has used too strong of a word calling it a lie? It is clear from the context that he did not call you a liar but referred to a myth that you repeated as a lie. When a falsehood is knowingly and deliberately expressed, it is a lie by definition.

No one decides to do heroin on the spur of the moment. Such simplistic treatment is not worthy of a comment.

Your example is moronic, as usual.

Now, there was nothing in DennisW's post that called for this.

The first time I used drugs was from a friend's offer---very little effort. And the first time I bought was from a person I already knew to be a user---also very little effort.

What are you? Jr. referee wannabe? LOL

This guy came here with an agenda which has nothing to do with the thread. He has an obsessive hatred for freedom and freedom loving people. On every thread on every subject every day. He is nothing if not predictable.

As to the point, if you want to try to nit pick the statement with some (bizarre disctinction without a difference) far out scenerio it shows that you cannot really argue the point.

The truth is, the WOD is a failure and people who want drugs can get them readily, and do.

I'm in downtown Chicago and I'll bet there are hundreds of outlets for illegal drugs within two blocks of me. And I'm in the business section. They are also readily available even the the most upscale suburbs.

Some of the folks here think that most drugs are sold by gangbangers in projects. Nothing could be more absurd.

Just for the record, I have never used an illegal drug in my life.

I must use more gentle phrasing in the future but you understood what I meant. While Protagoras could not digest it.
