I'm disappointed in myself

I’m so easily manipulated sometimes, it sucks.

Here in this thread, I kept rising to Oldscratch’s constant baiting. I tried to resist, oh how I triiiied… but he kept drawing me in to argue some more.

And I just knew he was just being belligerent because he’s such an arrogant wanker, and thinks he is so much better than us, because he use drugs - which as we all know is the epitome of coolness and sophistication. I mean, it’s like smoking when you’re fifteen, right? Oh so adult!

God I hate him.

Shit. This thread:

Your statement about breaking the law being wrong by definition was very confusing. Reading the thread, I interpreted it the same way he did. While I don’t condone his comments, I could easily see how he came to the conclusions he did. He attacked to try to get an explanation out of you, and you got defensive. Due to some strong words alrerady having been exchanged, what otherwise would have been an easily resolved miscommunication devolved into insults.

At 3am, I’m nosy and pushy, so I’ll stick my 2¢ in.

The next time you see an MPSIMS thread about recreational drug use, stay out of it. If people want to get together and post their high times there, let them. Don’t post anything. Nothing you say is going to convince them to stop, and posting there only invites them to jump on you and string you along.

I faintly recall another thread in MPSIMS (within the last 2 months) where you and oldscratch got into an un-MPSIMS-like discussion about his drug use. Frankly, I would have used that thread as a reason to stay out of the one you linked to. oldscratch has his ideas of what makes for a good time. You don’t agree with them. So let it alone. Don’t look for trouble.

I know you’re trying to help them, but it’s pretty obvious to me that they don’t think they need any.

It’s not worth it.

Guano starts a Pit thread? I do believe that’s a first :slight_smile:

Guano, as I already said in the MPSIMS thread, this is not a very debatable subject. It’s a highly personal decision, and there are a lot of reasons why you and oldscratch disagree.
I think oldscratch, zen101, and you are equally to blame for derailing that thread. I will, however, admit that you were not the aggressor in this case. That much can be deduced from my comments there, I think. Still, taking the bait and responding accordingly is just as bad. I know it’s frustrating, but sometimes you just have to swallow your pride, and have confidence in the fact tht your opponent will make a fool out of himself. Which oldscratch did, in this case - IMHO.

But Audrey is right: you’re not gonna change someone’s mind over these things. You have your opinion, and you’re entitled to it. While my personal opinion may be closer to oldscratch’s, I have to give you credit for being, at times, the voice of reason in that thread by pointing out that you respected oldscratch’s opinion. Something he apparently could not do, judging by his comments along the lines of “you’re in the wrong”, and such.

Still, this is a matter best left alone between the two of you. You’ll save yourself a lot of frustration.

Cheers,
Coldfire

I just read the whole “debate” between you and nutscratch errr oldscratch. Anyways I find it interesting how one of you tried to take the high road while the other took to the mud smearing. I’m not one for siding in arguments but I definately agree with you. I come from your similar belief structure about drug use and it being nothing but illegal hence it is wrong. So I don’t think what you written was at all confusing nor misleading. Maybe everyone just can’t read at as high a level as you and I. Anyways good luck with buttscratch errrr damnit oldscratch I keep getting it wrong.

See, GuanoLad, that’s where your problem lies… it is useless to resist him. You will be assmiliated.

He’s worse than heroin.

:wink:

I wasn’t in that thread to change anyone’s mind this time. He just got belligerent, and I couldn’t sit there ignoring his madness.

I’m not ever going to be at risk of being assimilated by that sub-human, believe me. He’s got more chance of becoming a Born-Again Christian than that ever happening.

Frankly, GuanoLad, I’m disappointed in you too.

Did oldscratch cross the line by referring to you as birdshitboy? Despite the fact that that comment made me laugh my ass of, and despite the fact that he simply employed synonyms, he did cross the line in that forum. As an aside, I think selecting the username you have is just asking for a lambasting along a similar vein unless you’re a fucking scatologist.

Did oldscratch take on an aggressive tone? You bet he did. I would have done precisely the same. I would have thought it necessary to attempt to reason with you. My reasoning will become evident below.

You had two contentions. It is wrong to do drugs because 1) drugs alter one’s personality, and 2) drugs are illegal. Correct? Let’s handle each point individually.

Someone states drugs alter one’s personality; ergo, it is wrong to do drugs. Perhaps the reasoning arises from the misconception that drugs are artificial. Sorry, not all of them are synthetic. By the way, the term synthetic is the term you are looking for, not artificial. Perhaps the reasoning arises due to the nature of the neurochemical reactions in the brain as a result of introducing drugs into the body. Sorry, oldscratch was right. By any definition sucrose is a drug. Sure, some hallucinogens act upon uptake inhibitors or neurotransmitters such as seratonin, and in that sense the reactions differ, but they are more similar than you are willing to recognize. Face the facts. Anything one introduces into one’s body has an impact on their composition. Electrochemical reactions happen. Sucrose alters one’s personality. I’m hypoglycemic–I know. In essence, anything introduced into the body has an effect. The argument was what? Oh yeah, drugs alter one’s personality; ergo, it is wrong to do drugs. Sorry, the argument is flawed. oldscratch called you on it. You failed to concede the validity of the rebuttal.

Someone states drugs are illegal; ergo, it is wrong to do drugs. Perhaps the reasoning arises to due a misconception that law and morality are synonymous. oldscratch raised a valid point. He stated something to the effect of it being illegal to engage in sodomy in one state and not another. Substitute any activity and any location and you do not have the universal truth you were hoping to successfully assert. Smoking marijuana is not illegal in Amsterdam in certain circumstances. I guess we can glean from that fact that smoking marijuana is okay. Smoking marijuana in the United States is illegal with a few exceptions of medical necessity. I guess we can glean from that fact that smoking marijuana is not okay. Do you see the little dichotomy here? Do you see how your universal and moral argument is fallible? oldscratch called you on it. You failed to concede the validity of the rebuttal.

In both circumstances you failed to address the rebuttal and merely got on the defensive. You exhibited the debating prowess of rutabaga. “No, you’re wrong!” seems to be the epitome of your refutation–note the lack of substantiating evidence or logic. You’re posts weren’t worth the few electrons reeking of feces they are displayed with, nor the pencil-dick sized bandwidth they occupy. Yeah, I’m disappointed in you too.

Cool. Another pit thread. Thanks HersheySquirt*.

Well let’s take a look. First this thread. Thanks waterj2 (notice? notice? j2). So, HemorrhoidHead, we have many people who interpreted your comments the exact way I did. Of course, they probably would have been a little more polite in asking you about them. But then, they haven’t gotten to see what an unmitigated ass you are like I have.

And hate? That’s such a strong word… I don’t hate you FecalDude*. I just find your assumptions of your own superiority and your constant moralizing of others, attempting to get them to conform to your own idea of what’s right a bit tiresome.

and for The Mighty Tiki God… damn dude, you need some work. nutscratch? buttscratch? insipid, uninspiring, and not very insulting. as high a level? Is that some insult? An argument? work on it dude, work on it. and as for him taking the high road, that’s incredibly laughable.

So the ExcrementAvenger wrote in other threads. (and I’ve decided to let him largely speak for himself, some of this shit, I just couldn’t top)

**

So it’s bad to give people pain killers in the hospital? They gain pleasure from it? What about self prescribed pain killers, oh wait, that’s illegal. WTF? In one case it’s bad in one case it’s good. You really are a headcase. What about if your doctor prescribes Marijuana in California. It’s a docter’s prescription, but it’s illegal due to federal law. Hmmm?

**

Again. So do a lot of legal things. Psych meds for one. Do you find them distasteful? NO? Why, because they don’t make you happy. It seems you want everyone to be as miserable and pathetic as you, sitting at home alone, masturbating to pictures of ugly naked anorexic women.

**
Paranoid too… maybe you should get something prescribed for that.

**

The same can be said for pot. Now will you shut up?

**

Those aren’t the only things you aren’t informed about… ahem…said about drugs…

**
so you admit that you have no idea what you’re talking about. I’ve got an idea. If you don’t know what you’re saying, shut up.

**

and if I’m not doing it to get happy?

**

So is it ok to use Special K? It’s an FDA approved tranquilizer… Morphine? What about using marijuana to help get your appetite back after chemotherapy. Why is one drug ok and another not? Oh, that’s right. Because you’re a fucking moron and like to tell people what they can and can’t do. Stop spreading your fucked up morals like so much goose shit. What’s wrong with using illegal substances in controlled doses for my mental or physical health? and the answer?

**

Oh that’s right. The defense of cowards, and people who couldn’t think their way out of a paper bag.

**

Yes you did… You said that anything that’s illegal is wrong and immoral. Stop trying to twist your way out of it.
I said:
My friend gets far more helpfull therapy from e than he does from paxil. Are you saying he should use something less helpfull?

He responded

**

And again it comes down to… you don’t give a shit about anyone else. You have some weird fucked up issues with drugs, and rather than people being happy, or having even normal lives, you want them to be as miserable as you. You talk about getting happiness from natural sources? I find nothing natural about sitting on your ass, staring at facials, and jacking off. So cut the crap.

**

Yes you are. You have on several occasions. And your ideas are wrong.

**

NO it’s not. It’s your opinion. A lot of people disagree with that opinion. Why can’t you get it through your head.

and then

**

Again. This is just plain idiotic. You believe that it’s wrong fro people to free slaves, for people to engage in anything but missionary sex, for people to FUCKING help themselves recover from cancer! Let’s all be as miserable as FertilizerFreak.

**

So it’s immoral to not obey an immoral law? hmmm. Catch 22 there. Care to revise your thinking, Fecalpheliac*?

**

And I find it sad that you would find happines in empty porn. Maybe that’s why you’re so bitter and anti-fun.

**

Again, delusions of granduer, moodiness, and paranoia… Not healthy at all.

**

Well that explains a lot… Now stop trying to ruin it for the rest of us BatshitBoy.

**

Again with the high road, and not telling people what to do…

**

So why do you keep butting into these thread, sharing opinions that no one agrees with, and generally making an ass of yourself?

**

As you stated before, you really have no idea what you’re talking about. At least I’ve done the research, and I know that the majority of substances I injest are harmless. A minority are somewhat harmfull, but then so is sailing, rock climbing, snow boarding. It’s an acceptable risk. Stop living up to your user name and spewing shit.

**

Ok. I think your obsession with pornography makes you a sad and pathetic individual. Go out and meet real people, don’t rely, in your own words, on artifice. At least when I do drugs I go out and interact and have fun.

**

Why is it irrelevant? Why is it any less relevant than your baseless claims that anythign illegal is immoral? And I wish you wouldn’t look at porn, what does that have to do with anything?

To bring in an old comment from coldfire

to which ColonChild responded

**

Seems like you won’t agree with anyone on the board. Does anyone, anyone, want to come forth and say something as incredibly stupid as “speeding is immoral”, please do. I want to laugh at you and throw cheese at you, and poke you with pointy sticks.

**

You’re such a cute little scamp… Hee hee. It must be tough having to perfrom such mental gymnastics constantly.

**
BZZZZZZ Too Late! Sorry, play again.

**

It is harmfull. The people like you are the ones who perpetuate the drug war. The one that costs billions of dollars, has costed thousands of innocent people their lives, have imprisoned and disenfranchised millions of americans. It’s quite harmfull, and morally wrong, which is why I’d wish you’d stop spewing it out over the boards.

**
and I really can’t respond to this… But it is the largest jewel in RunnyRocket’s crown of utter stupidity.
and because I thought them fitting, I’m closing with some comments from WallyM7 said to ColonKiddy

  • Much thanks to Hastur for coming up with the three names marked

First off: Guano, you and oldscratch are way more alike than you both realize. Neither of you knows when to quit.

Mad props go out to Nen for the “debating a rutabaga” comment. Oh. My. God.

And oldscratch… you’re more of a sadist than I gave you credit for. :wink:

Nope. It’s just more of the same old sermon. Some of us are really tired of this bullshit, Guano. Luckily, we have drugs to ease the pain that accompanies knowledge of your existence.

Whatever.

Fuck off and die.

ExcrementChild, you are soooooooo eloquent.

Bout what I expected from you…
What? You expected to post a pit thread and have throngs of your supporters come in and back you up, decrying the evils of drugs? Oh wait, you don’t have any. You lead a pathetic, lonely existence. I’ ve got an idea, don’t post any more drivel about drugs, we’ll let you have your stupid little ideas.

Wow. That seems really out of character for you, Guano. What happened to your deep sense of concern for my body and mind? Is this new position of yours at all in alignment with your previous statements of what I should and should not be able to do that might cause harm to my being?

CrapKid, or whatever you call yourself, go fuck YOUR-self, then go fuck YOUR dog, then go fuck YOUR cat, then go fuck YOUR- whatever the fuck you have, and get back to me.

                                      Peace

Please read my prefious post. And triple it.

I’m assuming you mean previous post, and not perfidious post.
OK

hmmm. yep

Previous.

Dammit.

If you need me, I won’t be anywhere near here.
