Oh, you want it DEclassified. I thought you were going someplace else with your argument.

But you want ALL recreational drugs declassified and legal like alcohol, correct, even though some of them are less safer than alcohol?

In reality, alcohol has nothing to do with it. Right?

"Or selling to children or anything like that."

Really? What if you could be convinced that teen drug use would double if drugs were legalized?

Wait. Maybe that's too much of a stretch for you. Let's say teen drug use would increase 10% if drugs were legalized (like alcohol).

Would you still favor legalization? If so, then you favor increased teen use.

No, you don't favor selling to children or anything like that. But if more children use drugs, you couldn't care less. Same thing in my book.

Maybe that is what it takes for some to gain the courage to defeat them. You think hatred is a "sin" of some sort? You did not answer the question...

Negative, I do not believe it to be a sin.

You wish to legalize all drugs. That's absolute insanity. We are so far apart on this issue, there's no debating it.

That's all I needed to know. Interesting how you cannot formulate a plan of action that differs from your opinion. Continue prosecuting a losing battle. Sounds kinda like Rumsfeld and the war we are prosecuting over seas. Some times fresh approaches can amaze you. Have a great day.

You cannot possibly know that

And we will never if we stay on this path.

And what would that be? Drugs are good? Drugs are safe? Drugs don't ruin lives? Drugs don't place a burden on others? Drugs aren't degrading to the human spirit?

Drugs are none of those nor are they the opposite. It's the people who use them. Even some people who drink are an example. Some over drink and become violent. Some can control their intake and be social.

What could they possibly tell me? I really would like to know what you're talking about.

There are other ways of convincing people to quit once they have started hard destructive drugs. Without waging war. You know sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can see the truth. Then if you are worth salvaging you will pick yourself up. Sometimes that requires help. Any way have a great day can't dwell on this. We'll just have to agree to disagree because we live in a free country and can do that.

Honesty is not a cult.

Honesty is not the drug cult. Or the Neo-Tech cult.

Care to see #498?

Saw it. Your sentence fragment quote didn't claim that there were no federal laws against murder. In fact, there are many. The first federal execution for murder took place a year after the Constitution was ratifies, a historical fact that your haven't yet worked up the nerve to address.

It's the people who use them.

And manfacture them. And possess them. And transport them. And sell them.

And those are the ones who get sent to jail.

--- The socialistic clowns who use 'drug abuse' as an excuse to ruin lives, place a burden on their peers, and degrade the human spirit, -- are the ones who should get sent to jail.

If I had voted for a third party in a major election or outright voted Democrat you would be right. Fact is I voted Republican in the main election, so I did not cause Democrats to gain control as Democrats and people who voted for third parties always do.

You blamed libertarians for the loss of the house and senate. Libertarians have been voting Republican since the sixties. Not once during those forty years have the Republicans accepted any libertarian reforms. You can't really expect libertarians to continue to support you when you give nothing in return.
