How stupid...
I asked you straight up whether or not you supported drug prohibition and you did not answer, so all I have to go on is this statement you made........

Yeah, I know it's not a good reason, but it's a reason, and it makes me chuckle...
If anyone is stupid it is you. You said you like that it is illegal.

So, I will ask you once more, do you support drug prohibition, yes or no?

So don't and stop telling others how not to live their own, private lives.

Slon, you put me in the mind of an anarchist. It seems you are against about any and every law out there. This comment doesn't really add to the discussion but it was just a thought that came to me.

No, I'm not. I'm for laws that protect people from other people. I'm against laws that protect people from themselves. And I'm also against laws that put people in prison because they may one day have the desire to harm someone.

That's exactly what I'm giving you. There are plenty of cases of crime and people being hurt or killed that comes about from someone that is addicted to drugs. It's a concentrated act of ignorance to think otherwise. Too bad those addicted never see the situation they are in.

So you're already breaking some laws, what laws are next that you think are irrelevant?

Face it....you're just scared of ending up on the wrong side of the law (if you haven't already).
What? What the hell are you talking about? Your skirting the issue again. Trying to smooth off in another direction because you have no reasonable retort to my last post. I will bet you are one hell of a brown noser at work, aren't ya? Hey, it's a skill I guess. Whatever floats your boat as long as it doesn't affect mine. And by the way, with all the new laws being passed every year, how long do you think it's going to be before they tax walking on the sidewalk? Or you'll have to pay to enter any public park? or restroom? Do you have the lottery yet in your state? The money goes to schools (they will tell you) but it doesn't. I think whatever the gov tells you, your gunna be "just alright" with it though, huh? No sir, they wouldn't lie to you...

I've not attacked you, I attacked your opinions.

Clearly, you're not mature enough to tell the difference and, instead, wish to hurl your name-calling and insults at me as opposed to my opinions.

My comment was tongue in cheek. You're unable to wrap your head around that.

Well, too fuckin' bad.

I don't believe I'll answer the question of someone who's only real discussion skill is to insult those he's conversing with...

Let me ask you Steve, do you have an opinion on the topic? Oh! as I see from your earlier posts you like drugs to be illegal because you like to see libs irritated. Did you want to add anything else to the thread, or....no? Oh, I wanted to ask if you are a veteran and if so, for what country?

The word I think you were looking for might have been "Libertarian", not "anarchist". It's a easy mistake to make....So, you went to school stateside did ya?

Maybe you didn't comprehend it the first time:

I have no problem with you attacking my ideas. If you want to call them retarded and moronic, I'll take no issue with that. However, you're unable to do that, opting to be personally insulting.

I have no inclination to discuss anything with someone who displays such a profound level of immaturity which permits them only to be personally insulting.

Yes, I have an opinion on the topic. If and when I express that opinion, it won't be to you. You're not worth the time.

Also, my military service is well known here, and I hardly feel compelled to explain any of that to the likes of you...

Well, you're discussing your supposed lack of an inclination to discuss anything with him and just how offended you supposedly are. I think the real issue is that you have way too much time on your hands and prefer to spend it irritating people. If you truly had no inclination to discuss anything with him, you would have stopped having discussions with him. But the desire to troll is just too great.

Of course he is. You just wrote over 100 words telling him that he isn't worth your time (the time it would take to write a 4 to 5-word response saying "I support drug prohibition" or "I don't support drug prohibition").

Yeah, well, when one is as busy trolling as you are, there just isn't enough time for that stuff.

I see.

You count the number of words in my post, and I'm the one with too much time on my hands...

It's called Word Count. It took me about 2 seconds.

Lets get to the root of the topic. Is altering one's consciousness, inherently immoral fishjoel? Before you answer keep in mind that many herbal teas, a single alcohol beverage and many foods we eat are proven to alter the consciousness. So if it is immoral, where does the banning stop?

I don't know what your ideas are, I just like typing off the wall pseudo babble to you so I can watch you get all agro....it's a hoot.

Steve, from your own admission you were not inclined to discuss anything anyways. At the very least, even "reality" and "fishfry" were/are here to discuss the issues, not just irritate people so you can laugh at them, which, as you stated, is your reason to be here. So relax. or should i say "at ease".

Steve-0, I asked you what your opinion was so that we might get a topic relevant dialog going....

Re: Make an argument as to why marijuana should be illegal....

lol

God, I love discussion forums.

Looks like my good buddie Steve is going to keep his position on this topic a secret.

Or maybe he just hasn't had time to call up CNN and let them tell him what to think.
