ROFL!!!

You do that a lot. It's like the chat-room equivalent of the Al Gore off-camera debate sneer. Very effective.

You rant against the use of statistics in one post yet use them in the next!

Of course, I realized this would be your reaction as I wrote it. I did it anyway, because I was using the statistic to counter one specific, completely unfounded statement you made about how taxpayer dollars were spent in Switzerland. Not to make an argument against legalization.

Also, I didn't rant against statistics. I said they can be used to show whatever you want them to show. Which is still true.

What is your source for those percentages?

Funny how everything I say requires a source, while everything you say should just be accepted on its face. I'll show you my sources for welfare dependency statistics when you show me your source for the stats that show all the productive junkies decriminalization has created and all the money they've saved the Swiss taxpayers. Since that was what I was responding to, I think it's only fair that you back it up with the hard data you constantly demand before proceeding with this any further.

I posted no statistics. You railed against the statistics used by the researchers. If you'd like a source for any particular fact I've posted, just ask.

FACT: Decriminalization has not led to an increase in drug use in Switzerland or the Netherlands
If you'd like sources for that fact, I can give you statistics, official quotes or both...Your choice.

And while you're at it, prove that the moon is made of cheese.
