I was on a heated thread the other day arguing with pro-drug liberaltarians. I was outnumbered.
Just as you and I are in the small minority on this thread.
In case it isn't obvious...
And Jim Robinson and the moderators will not take a stand.
This isn’t a Republican board it’s a conservative one and Libertarians are conservatives, even more so than most republicrats or democans.
Jim says tough noogs (he said something else, but you catch my drift). Now, please drop this and return to debating the subject without personal attacks.
I know liberals that won’t let their boys do anything without a helmet, and supervision. Poor kids are being raised as male orchids.( could be why in my observation that more gays come out of liberal homes ).
Anyways, take street bum drinking Sterno, or rubbing alcohol.
Meth is what is called ‘Nazi Marching Powder’. It was, in fact, used by the German Army.
Besides the abuse, what bangs people up, is the impurities of ‘home made’ meth. But you see this in boot leg moonshine too, with the ethyl alcohol with high rates of methyl alcohol causing the famous ‘blindness’. Does booze alcohol (ethanol) make you blind? No. Does amphetamine( pure meth ) make your teeth fall out? No. Does home made, poor quality, rot gut meth, phosphine, methylamine, acetone, chloroform, iodine white phosphorus, anhydrous ammonia, hydrogen chloride/muriatic acid, hydrogen iodide, lithium/sodium ruin your health? Hell yes.
By the way, pure meth is proscribed for kids, usually males, that day dream too much. Nice eh? One end of government is making addicts do rot gut meth, and another end of government is pushing meth on young males that are bored by gooberment/feminist schools.
Hey, think for a minute. Socialist school nurse gives young red head Bill meth( Desoxyn ) for his ‘ADD’. Odd how the meth explosion coincided with the ‘ADD’ scam. Like the kid leaves school, has been pushed through his years of puberty with government meth, and then what?
I doubt if any of the well known drug companies would want the liability or the reputation.
Besides, Amsterdam tried to relax their drug laws and now they realize their mistake. If it weren't for the behavior of meth addicts and potheads, their drugs of choice would be legal.
so do we ration them out so no one gets high and kills innocent people? LOL....will not work. you are trying to rationalize away something that destroys humans. we were not meant to be drunk or high...our bodies are not made for that...they deteriorate rapidly in those circumstances.
John Adams, the 2nd President of the United States said "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
“religious nanny-statism? how is that different from any other for of communism?”
different playbook, same goal
Or the answer becomes to have no law and let anarchy, chaos and social destruction rule.
Thank you. Same causes, different decade, different tactics.
“pot being sold for profit”
Sounds like a good idea.
Yep.
Well, we've all seen just how well federal control of abortion regulation has worked out - pro-life states can't be pro-life in their laws. That's the thing about Frankengov. You want him to do just your bidding, but eventually he'll tear down your village and kill YOUR sacred cow.
If we didn’t have a system, a racket, a group crime done by criminals that we have now, that takes money at the point of a gun from working people of all stripes and delivers it to layabouts, scammers, dopes, druggies, slothful, slatterns and their government paid minions.....those people would starve.
Drugs are self punishing, if left alone.
Government ASSISTS druggies.
Stop the taxes. Stop the assistance, handouts, clinics, half way homes, payments, food stamps and the ‘drug problem’ will end it’s self naturally. One way or another.
If this is too harsh, you are of course free to spend YOUR money, and YOUR time by taking in these individuals.
No he wasn’t but he didn’t advocate making drugs illegal either. You could to to the general store and get laudnum and knock yourself out is you so chose. He also didn’t put a prohibition on alcohol. Nanny statism and religious statism don’t coordinate well with the constitution.
Pot doesn’t make people rob steal or rape it just makes people goofy and hungry.
That's a valid argument if your objective is to argue that the existence of porn or pot means that the Constitution should no longer be in effect. If that's the case, then there's no constitutional argument against Obama's legitimacy as President, or any of his programs.
Yeah. And millions of women will be killed by coat hanger wielding hacks instead of being able to get safe abortions. And pornography is a victimless crime so give us the liberty to indulge in it.
I'd have thought that folks would have learned from Prohibition ... Apparently not.
Learn what? That it's demise was ended by a socialist President? That this socialist President (FDR) first weakened prohibition laws and then led the fight to repeal it?
