You don’t get to dictate my moral compass, just as I do not get to dictate yours. It’s the Pit, you can flame away at the stand I am taking. But you don’t get to tell me how to live a moral existence.
You wanna be a fucking pothead? Go ahead. Take the risks and live the life. It does not make me amoral for not wanting to inhale your smoke.
I think the point was that, if one (you) is making the connection that the illegality of pot smoking is what makes it wrong, then the degree to which it is illegal ought to have a bearing on how wrong it is. And, according to Chimera’s information, it’s pretty low on the totem pole as far as things the government has any concern about.
We are all entitled to our own moral compasses, and are entitled to be upset about whatever we want. I get pissed off about drivers disobeying traffic laws and getting away with it, and fantasize about busting all those assholes. But I would never expect anything other than laughter if I suggested in seriousness that I was going to call the cops about a driver rolling through a stop sign, or running a red light, or whatever.
Complain to the landlord for sure, particularly if there’s a no-smoking policy in the lease. That’s your recourse.
No, but I’m willing to bet large sums of money that you do something in your private life that’s pretty fucked up by common morality standards. Probably involves cactus’s.
Can I let it ride on that bet? I’ll match you…I want in on that money!
Cartooniverse - you seem to have a terrible naivete about drugs. Not all drugs are bad, mmmk? Context is everything.
I’m willing to bet you drink coffee, or coke. If you do I’m going to label you a caffeine addict. It alters your behavior and has withdrawal symptoms. It isn’t illegal, but hey you were the one who wanted to talk about moral compass.
You want to ignore legal status and talk about moral compass? Where does your moral compass sit where you are so riled up about someone harmlessly having a smoke? You are so fucking lucky that guy isn’t an alcoholic instead. Imagine all the problems that might come with THAT.
I guess what I’m trying to say is you should be so lucky if that smoke is drifting into your apartment and making you a more tolerable person to be around.
That wasn’t a courtesy call, that was a “quit annoying your neighbors, or we’ll have to come down there and ruin your day” call. Which, really, is what you’re looking for.
