What heat?

You and your friends(as usual) are getting churned...your arguements, frankly, suck, and equate to "vanilla is better than chocolate, so there". You guys get beat every single time on the WOD threads.

I have other things to do

Hey, you were here first, and you made your stupid statements, and you got slammed all around and now you want to cry (boo hoo) and claim your above it all (typical of the defeated)

and other responsibilities beyond sitting at a keyboard 24 hours a day replying to mindless 15 year old juvenile delinquents.

As you reply to my to my posts...hypocrite. I'm 34 and would save your life in a heartbeat, bud. You have no idea who I am, and what I do to help people, but I sure can tell A LOT about you and your disdain for your fellow countrymen.

I'm involved in real life other than the fantasy kid's lives some of you live and bring to this forum.

Sure you are. We're all living in a fantasy kid's life. Great discussion. So worthwhile.

Hopefully, you and your friend Dane and your leader Kevin Curry will get over yourselves, and stop supporting this waste of tax money and assault on freedom. But you won't, no way, no how.

What's the matter... did some "pothead" steal your girlfriend in High School? Or are you just weak and need to be controlled? I ask these questions because obviously, there's some kinda "issue" hanging around there that's affecting your reasoning on this topic.

Oh Yes, this is a personal attack; but not launched out of animosity. I've seen your posts, Dane's, and Kevin Curry's on many many subjects and 99 out of 100 times, I'm in complete agreement. You're no liberals; there's hope for you guys on this particular topic. You guys just need to apply conservative (pro-liberty, pro-capitalist) principles to this subject.

I feel it is my duty to try to educate fellow conservatives about the dangers of the Drug War, and when logic, reasoning, and persuasion fail it's time to bring out the old reliable ridicule to perhaps convince you of your error (no one likes to admit it, but it works).

For you see, every single one of your arguements has been blasted to smithereens, and yet you still won't admit you're wrong. Why?

In whatever business or job you have, if you're doing something wrong, and someone shows you a better, more correct way of accomplishing the task; do you ignore them? Do you make fun of them, for happening to know a little more about something than you do?

Who's the "juvenile" now?

Survey says:

YOU!

Repent before it's too late. Trust me, I'm on the side of liberty, capitalism and responsibility.

Your friend,

Motzman.

In our world, that means morality is whatever the government says it means. That, my friend, is the essence of totalitarianism.

No, it's freedom, just as the Founding Fathers intended.

So that means that if you(bassmaner) lives by a "moral" code and just one other person decides to independently live under your "moral code", your definition of "morals" must change because your "moral code" is unique to you(bassmaner). Your(bassmaner's) moral code is the essence of anarchy(i.e I(bassmaner) make up my own moral code).

Huh, I don't remember reading the "Anarchy of the United States" as the Constitution.

I assume you're are equally opposed to the legal use of alcohol, nicotine, aspirin, coffee, tea and all of the other substances that change the way we feel. What's you position on salt?

By the way, I don't use any of the above and haven't in more than 25 years. Well, maybe a bit of salt now and then but very little.

You dope legalizers don’t have any sense of humor.

If the below is humor, don't quit your day job.....whatever that is.

“Hey, man, you know, like uhhhh, well, like, dope should be legalized, man, you know? Duuuuh.. Hey! This ain’t Berkeley!!!! Where am I!!!! Where are all the chicks, man? Hey man, where am I? Is this Oakland? Hey, man, I’m looking for the Berkeley medical marijuana clinic, I’ve got a headache. Hey! Bummer, man!”

But, you know, I wouldn't be against enclosed isolated places where the drug users could do it to their heart's content.

There is such a place. I call it my house. If only the neighbors knew...

Why don't we set up our drug laws as a mitigating factor, like we do with guns? Like commit a felony with a gun get extra time or whatever, do something like that with drugs. That way you leave peacefull people alone.

man I feel dirty when flagged with that group

don't do it again


Yeah, that was bad form; I'm sittin' here typing away with no regard to my own personal safety (as usual), and I go and expose you to whatever disease those fellows have that causes them to be so ig-nant. Very careless of me...I guess I owe you a Coke. Hopefully, you haven't been infected; I'll carefully monitor your posts and let you know if I see any "Doofus-Syndrome" symptoms occuring...

Please don't tell me you thought that was funny. I've seen Bob Sagat skits that were better than that....heck, I can write the very same thing without thinking.

'Dude, I was like smoking the hash pipe and I met up with these righteous Taliban dudes who promised to take me to Afghanistan where the real good s**t was growing. All of a sudden, there was like this big light and I was in the middle of a f***ing war and I lost my stash! Bummer man....'

See, even that's absolutely terrible...

A surgeon can quite easily be hopped up on whatever he likes.

I dont believe that drugs should be legalized. But what concerns me is how the gubmint uses the WOD to violate our fundamental rights. Thats my problem with the WOD.

You cannot enforce prohibition laws on a free people without violating fundamental rights. Do you agree?

The constitution is in rags thanks to our drug laws. Waco, the Elian Gonzales raid, and many other abuses of government wouldn't have happened without the constitutional exceptions made for drug prohibition.

Government abuse is a far more dangerous thing then drug abuse IMO. Drugs are better then (jack booted) thugs.

This has got to be satire

Interesting that when it comes to the WoD it's hard to tell! The drug warriors are ready to eat babies.

Most of the drug warriors seem to be afraid that unless they can point to laws enacted by the government that prohibit something, they will be unable to teach their children that something is either harmful, immoral or wrong.

It's legal for the president to screw the faces of young girls in the oval office. Yea, let's look to the government for moral guidance.

When I was a child.

For that matter, so has D.A.R.E. -- the only people wearing their t-shirts and bumper stickers are parents.

Talk about a lack of understanding of youth. We do everything we can to make drug use as rebellious and cool as possible.

The crack epidemic of the 80s waned, not because of bumper stickers or frying eggs on TV, but because people saw ugly, homeless, toothless whores who suck dick for $5 on the street corner. The ONDCP can't buy advertising like that. (Of course it was the WoD that created crack in the first place. In a free market you could afford a coke habit collecting cans on the side of the road.)

I remember my dad would get hungry for eggs whenever that commercial came on and he would fry a couple up no matter the time of day or not. "Kids! Who wants some brains on drugs?"
