OK, so far in the past couple days, I’ve seen two posts by you engaging in pit-worthy behaviour in other forums towards drug users. Well, we can all cross the line sometimes, especially with issues that we care deeply about, so that is really not a huge issue. The big problem I have is that you are an asshole. And goddam fucking stupid one at that.
And now, for the inevitable piece by piece breakdown:
Yeah, that’s a good idea in Great Debates. Moron.
Since it was in a debate on legalization, I’d say the important facts would be how long you were in prison for, and how much it helped.
Uh, then post it there. Idiot.
Or there won’t be. Many people have done drugs with no serious side effects. For example, I have smoked pot exactly three times in my life. Can’t say that it’s made a difference in my life. Some people have problems. But not all. Not even fucking close.
How’s this for a legitimate reason: I do not accept that you or anyone else has the right to decide what substances I can injest into my own body. Or how about: I don’t believe that it is a good idea for society as a whole to put massive numbers of people who have never harmed anyone else into jail.
Hemp being illegal is just something that’s easy to protest because it’s so ridiculously simple. You can’t make paper out of hemp because, ahh, it comes from a plant that people could smoke to get high :rolleyes:. Yeah, that fucking makes sense.
And all the people that smoke marijuana and don’t get adicted at all are what, statistical fucking anomalies? Freaks of nature? Or perhaps we should just ban it because some people seem to find it addictive. Though not nearly as addictive as, say, cigarettes.
Force? Wait, not throwing people in jail is forcing them to do the thing they aren’t getting tossed in jail for? You got a mighty odd definition of force there. Why, just this morning, I had to resist those forcing me to stick my hand in the toaster by not making that illegal.
Personally, I don’t want to draw a line anywhere. I simply don’t believe (see above) that society has the right to prevent people from jinjesting chemicals into their own bodies. Of course, this is provided that they are not, in doing so, necessarily subjecting others to danger, such as by driving.
Hey, I know, why don’t you just arrange our lives for us so that we can all be eficient drones in your perfect little society. Fuck rights. They should work.
Incidentally, you got any cites on, for example, how often workers in the Netherlands take sick days as compared to Belgium or France (I’m guessing that would be somewhat more useful for isolating the legality of marijuana as the variable than a comparison to the US)? Or on the productivity of recreational drug users? Care to weigh that against the cost of the massive incarceration and violence caused by prohibition? Or do you prefer blaming it all on those damned druggies?
Scum of the earth? Murderers and rapists have nothing on those damn pot smokers, do they? The rest is just the incomprehensible ravings of a lunatic. I’ve been offered drugs many times by acquaintances who were recreational users. Never was it an attempt to drag me into their personal hell. That is just bullshit.
Oh great God of determining how others are progressing with their lives, BUTT THE FUCK OUT!!! They aren’t your lives! Jesus Christ, I’ve got enough trouble worrying about my own damn fucking problems without having time or self-importance to decide how everyone else is doing.
OK, I’ll leave you to the other intelligent pro-legalization people around here. I’ve got shit to do now. Have at it all of you. And please excuse the weak rant, it’s actually my first time taking someone to the Pit.
