That is absolutely NOT a conservative concept, and would therefore be better suited for a place other than FR.

Funny . . . I don't recall seeing you on many WoD threads. If it's not a conservative concept, I wonder if you'd care to come on a thread and explain why, because none of the other Drug Warriors have been able to explain why supporting the W.o.D. is a conservative concept. Consider this an invitation from an anti-W.o.D. freeper to join in and argue your point.

There is a section of conservatives that do not differ very much from the Taliban in their desire to control other people's morals.

"Consider this an invitation from an anti-W.o.D. freeper to join in and argue your point."

I tried that when I first came to these boards, and acted civily. All the debate I got was: nazi, facist, statist, jackbooted thug, or posts similar to the one following yours. It felt like I was arguing with a liberal with all the name-calling and snide insults going on. And I actually joined in, acting childish in response. Then one day, I thought to myself, WTF? I'm not a kid in a playground, there's no need for me to act like one.

And to be fair, a good portion of the anti-drug crowd sling strong insults as well. But nowhere as hateful as the pro-drug ones, in my opinion. References comparing nazis (marching people into gas chambers) to US law enforcement agencies (who actually do solve a lot of crimes) does little but make this great website appear extremist and fringe.

If any of this post was personally insulting, it was not intended as so.
