Is any discussion of illegal drugs now forbidden?

Actually, telling a hijacker to shut the fuck up is not contributing to the hijack. So shut the fuck up and stop hijacking the fucking thread, asshole.

According to whom?

I was done with it, but you had to come back for more. Anyway, I don’t exactly see it as a hijack (something that happens over and over and over in many many threads all over this place every single day, so even if I did, no amount of foaming at the mouth on your part would make me care much). I think it’s pertinent because it exposes the inconsistencies in board policy on issues of safety and legality.

Why aren’t you screaming obscenities at the people talking about weed, anyway? I’m going to have to report you to your manager if you keep slipping in your Hijack Protection Agency duties like that. Or are you self-employed?

Wow, you really are a twat, aren’t you?

Whatever you say.

Oh you’re so right, shoehorning a discussion of the SI thread into a pretty much completely unrelated thread, when there’s already an active thread on the SI which you’re already participating in isn’t in any way a hijack.

Yeah, you care so little that you’ve replied twice already and will likely be unable to resist replying again.

Why would I? this is the thread about the weed thread closure. That’s the actual topic, not your hissy fight with Guin and not your bizarre desire to get the last word here. Do you actually have anything to say on the actual thread topic?

Here in the USA, there are still many areas where hemp grows wild; eradicating it entirely would be quite a difficult task. The important thing to remember is that wild hemp contains a miniscule amount of THC, the principal active compound in marijuana. I wasn’t able to find any literature on the THC content of wild hemp in India, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s comparable. Sorry if this has already been pointed out.

You’re really, really determined to turn my hijack into your own personal hijack on how much you dislike me, aren’t you? Can you please tell me where the hell you get your assertion that “telling someone not to hijack isn’t a hijack”? I don’t even mind if you have to say fuck a lot to do so. You sounded like you read it on a stone table ten feet tall somewhere.

And somehow, the fact that you will also reply again in turn is completely different from me replying. I bet it actually makes you more virtuous somehow. Anyway, just because I don’t care that you think I was hijacking and wanted me to stop doesn’t mean I don’t care to reply to you at all. I’m kind of curious exactly how long you’ll go on hijacking about a hijack, and how incoherent you’ll get over it.

The thread topic is the closure, not the topic of the closed thread. I’ve said what I have to say on the actual thread topic; I think the closing was on a ridiculous pretext and exposes the fact that there is no consistent policy regarding safety and legality in allowed thread topics.

Otto, I appologize. I won’t hijack this thread anymore.

Ensign - please stop being an asshole in this thread. thanks, ever so.
a disinterested party.

I want to hear about the wild weed of India.

How am I being an asshole? Are these people assholes?: Otto, nyctea scandiaca, II Gyan II, Badmash, and Sequent*. They’ve all posted off the topic of why the thread was closed. Meanwhile, I’ve explained why I think my original point was relevant. Can you tell me why you think I’m wrong to think it is a point sufficiently related to the thread’s premise?

Is it that I continue to reply to someone who is personally attacking me? I think I have the right to do so without it making me an asshole.

That said, I am done here, and I have been. If Otto will stop attacking me, you won’t see my ugly mug in this thread again. Since I know that’s what he really really wants, I’m sure he’ll be able to control the urge to hurl more insults at my back.

On preview: I guess Duke of Rat is an asshole too.

*Guin apologized, so I’m not counting her.

You’d be correct. Asshole.

Isn’t prostitution illegal in Illinois?

Oh, but it’s an escort service, which may superficially resemble prostitution but manages to skirt around the law by never explicitly using the words “sex for money”! Don’t confuse the two. :wink:

I dunno, I could be looking for a reason to solicit sex, and by reading the newspaper, less a journey to fight unemployment, singleness or a lack of a car, and more of a “what sex for money service should I use?”

What is an “unushed” service? This is actually the only instance of the word that Google finds: is it a typo for “unhushed”, so that your $150 Special screams loudly while giving you the service? Or does it mean “unused”, so that this is her first time on the job?

I’m guessing “un-rushed”.

It’s ineffective as your naive act only spawned a new 2 page thread, and it was not even started by me. Furthermore, it bought more attention to what I posted, evoked more curiosity about the subject and made you look like an ass and the whole site by extention to anybody who might be looking to subscribe.

Next time delete the post you want to censor, so nobody sees it, and ban the poster. Just an idea.
It may be a “Big whoop” for the people who pay money to participate in such discussions and expect higher standards from the mods.

There is a huge advantage in keeping drugs illegal for the dealers and cartels. It keeps the price high and symbolizes rebellion. Drugs just won’t be as cool if they were legal. Not to mention the huge loss for corporations in the business of “fighting” the Drug War and loss of a big tool in keeping the population under the thumb.

Hell, if I was a cartel boss, I would never want them legalized.

Do you realize that’s exactly why we need to legalize them?
