Yep, the drug head fellow that ran through my yard last month and tore his car up could of killed both my children that were playing in the yard... He could of killed his child in the car too.. Yep... MJ is just a harmless thing people do at home and don't take on the road with them... BTW... I hate alcohol too... modern distillation has turned what was good drink into a killer... pot being refined over the years to higher potency has made it far too dangerous also...

I put up details about my latest encounter last month with a dopie in the URL above ... I guess my previous encounter (before the car dopie) would have to be when the meth head co-worker that burned down his house with the kid in it.. (they all lived, but he/girlfriend and his baby are burned pretty bad).. Now they live on government disability.. guess the " It doesn't affect anybody else" excuse doesn't always hold up in the real world
What is left of my rock wall... still pretty solid though..
LP = open drugs, open borders... FREEDOM.. < /makes me sick>
robertpaulsen's evil twin?
Druggies need rehab, hospital care, jail, burial and other costly things that they rarely can afford themselves.
They are like dependent little dysfunctional children as adults and I don't see how the Founders could salute that"
The Founders wouldn't have created a nanny state (or worked to further it as your position does) that would have led to these costs.
It's really very simple, you favor laws that don't work, ignore savagery to the bill of rights for no benefit, want to incarcerate adults who have made their own free choices about what goes into their body and want to continue drug prohibition so that the artificially inflated costs can provide the incentive for the crime associated with drug use. You also want my tax dollars to support a war on drugs at a cost that far exceedss what is spent on prohibition.
You sound like man who want to control others and cost the rest and I usually limit my association with such childish personalities.
I give you the last word if you want it, children like that.
"Nope first is accurate. In the 60's and 70's the libertarians advocated legalizing drugs with the caveat that intoxicant use is never a mitigating factor for the defendant in legal or civil cases. In fact recreational drug use proves intent since users intentionally impair their own judgment."
Thats just sillyness. Alcohol is legal, and is concidered a mitigating factor for the defendant in legal and civil cases. I am certainly more informed and thoughtfull than a bunch of hippies.
You left out that I said it was often mixed with other stuff during many violent crimes.
Works for me. We export our socialists, and import the classic American stock capitalists, rebels, malcontents and freethinkers.
Get your head out of your ass. EVERY crowd has bad apples. Even your Christians.
One might say you would not make a good LPer... They are the "Party of Principle"...

Personal attacks, petty (and not so petty) bickering, flame wars, feuding, etc.

Do Not Curse and S*** and D*** are not good either.

I have children that are just now becoming of age where they can read and my computer screen is quite in the open.
It's a drug that often people mix or move on to harder stuff from. Because it is cheap, can be grown and has so many calling it a cool good thing, you get children going for it who later go on to bigger and badder things.
It helps turn people into life long tweakers, many of who probably spend most of their time on the net posting 490 out of 500 posts on pot advocacy.
Same can be said of drunk drivers. In fact, they are MORE dangerous...
Uh huh!
Words escape me.
AAAAAaaaaaggggghhhhhhh!
You have to at least give a warning before posting something like that!
No doubt drunks (and drunk druggies) are deadly, but I do what I can to stop alcohol also.. My county went wet last year (first time ever), but I do my best within the limits of the law to get people to vote dry. Cell phones probable rank right up there with the top five of car accidents, I also support laws that fight against driving while using a cell phone.
Alcohol is a drug and you will hear no arguement from me about it's dangers. IMHO, drugs would replace alcohol as a factor in deaths if more people felt "the freedom" to use them in a non-judgemental society...
Unfortunately for you, the Bible has plenty to say on using my judgement...
If this offends you.. tough... Jesus promised his followers, "you will be hated by all nations for My names sake. And then many will be offended" Jesus taught that if they hated Me, they will hate you" (see John 15:18-19; 17:14; Mat. 10:22; Luke 21:17).
Remember, "he who is spiritual judges all things. For... we have the mind of Christ" (1 Cor. 2:15-16). And God will reward those who judge, and do the hard work: "Those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, and a good blessing will come upon them." (Prov. 24:25).
Laughable nonsense; there are no circumstances where federal law allows the sale or purchase of marijuana, but there are circumstances where federal law allows the sale or purchase of alcohol, therefore the latter drug is less restricted.
