I really didn't think that even the druggies were so dumb...
It isn't a matter of someone being dumb or not. You posted it as if they were your own words. There is no attribution or name given whatsoever.
That is often called, since we're in the backroom now, piss poor manners.

I never said you did. You're the one claiming I said it.

LOL. I hope you know by now that cinFLA is fundamentally dishonest, solidly dishonest to the core. He is biologically incapable of honesty.

His only purpose in being here is make people like you run around in circles trying to refute the many misstatements he throws out there. He can't argue on facts or logic, so his only strategy is diversion and distraction. He's hoping to win by attrition.

His posts come from a list he has saved on his computer which he cuts and pastes where needed. They include:

"Provide evidence for your claim"
"I didn't say that"
"How much is George Soros paying you?"

LOL. He's a certifiable nutcase. Medically, clinically insane. But he's good for a few laughs.

Here is what you said.
I'm fully aware of what I said.
Here is what you surmised and implied...
So you approve of taking away their right to bear arms and being a victim to prison rape?
I can't help it if you get what I say twisted. Only you can prevent word twisting.
Then I guess you either consider rape as NOT a depravation and an act of lawlessness OR you think felons should have guns in jail to protect themselves from rape?
You can guess whatever you want! My words are out there for any who wish to read them.
Oh man, this game of yours is fun, especially when all I have to do is link back to the previous page so that others can follow the string and see what isn't written here on this particular page.

Every once in a while if he gets too many threads going at once he seems to suffer a stack overflow and forget who he's lying to about what.

Like my father used to say, "I don't have a good enough memory to be a liar."

I don't think he can do that! Earlier in this thread he used the term "threesome" and then castigated someone for assuming he was talking about a sexual relationship. Duh!

Oddly, the strongest criticism of the Canadian proposal has come from patients already using medical marijuana who think the government, which charges about $110 an ounce, supplies lousy pot. "It is of incredibly poor quality," said one patient. Another said, "It tastes like lumber."

Figures the gubmint would find a way to screw up something so simple! :)

I don't think he (or she) is that bad. His (her) posting patterns are interesting, from my viewpoint, though.




24 hr time. Each hr has 4 15 min slots. (.) = no post in time slot. # in slot is # posts in 15 min slot.
! = more than 9 posts in period. ---- = no posts on that day.

Legalizing drugs would end up turning more Americans into losers and dead people at the publics expense.

You are not of this world regarding your critical thinking at all IMO.

Drugs are total crap basically, and your thoughts are that the way a problem goes away is to make it legal. All that would do is make the problem spread more and give people the impression it was safe and more innocents would be screwed up for life.

I am not into pushing dope. You sound to me like the drifter who offers candy to children that is laces with razor blades or Satan himself who pushes evil while attempting to pose as the light of truth.

There are drug lords, terrorists and other criminals profiting from drug crimes and that is NOT the case as you mentioned for rape or in some cases murder. Therefore in many ways, a drug related criminal is even worse.

Tell me something. If what you say is true, then why don't we see an epidemic of people buying up spray paint and sniffing it? It's cheap as can be, gets you really high, it's available in abundance within a mile of almost everyone, and even the youngest of kids can buy it.

Yet we don't see any such epidemic. How do you explain this?

Well that may be in crazy California, but you're evading my question and you didn't answer.

The rest of the country has no such restrictions, yet there is no epidemic. Why?

Because it hasn't perhaps been glorified everywhere by subcultures and in films like pot has with great regularity.

They also push cigarette smoking and heavy drinking a lot as well in films and that is not admirable.

I don't see how vices could be "worshipped" in an anarchic world.
Personally, I don't know where vices would be considered worship except in a theocracy. It makes no sense otherwise. Kind of like the old temples/religion of Aphrodite where sex itself was a form of worship.
But I am not for a Religion from government, no.
Well, that isn't exactly what a theocracy is. A theocracy is governance by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided so the question still stands as unanswered.

Do you want government to enforce your particular views on religion?
