"What I said was that there will always be troublemakers that cause problems for the rest of us ..."

You said, "If I want to come home from a long day's work & get drunk, high, eat candy - or just lay on the couch & watch TV - who's business is it to anyone else?" You implied that people come home, do drugs, and cause no problem for the rest of society, so why not legalize drugs.

Now you've changed the argument and acknowledge that people will not do drugs at home. You now ask why it is illegal for those who act responsibly.

The answer is that the U.S. Constitution does not allow for one set of laws for reponsible people and one set of laws for irresponsible people. Too bad the irresponsible drug users ruined it for you.

"You say if pot is legalized you know for a fact that twice as many teenagers will smoke it?"

I asked you what if. What is your answer to my question as asked?

Are you high on drugs or something? What part of my replies said that people will not do drugs at home?

I have acknowledged that there will always be people that don't act responsibly.

Then I guess by your own argument - you believe that alcohol should be illegal too - since there are plenty of irresponsible drinkers that ruin it for responsible ones?

Why should she answer your questions?

You never answer anyone else's questions.

Hem, haw, dodge, obfuscate, mis-direct, all part of your tactics.

Bullsh*t.

Drinking is legal.

Drinking and doing irresponsible things like driving or beating your wife are not.

I almost think you'd have to be drunk to make posts this stupid.
