The name alone seems to reveal a certain bias.



Why? The agency exists to address the specific issue of drug abuse. Drug
_use_ is addressed by the FDA.

Good grief, no. Let them continue. The more they type the less
likely they'll be to wander into a park with their cameras and find
an inappropriate subject.

It is a pretty useless thread, full of sound and fury and all the
rest that that signifies.

I gave it up when nothing new was being contributed. Let it die, Bones.

I think you protest just a little too much.


TS.

You're also very quick to
assume the title of drug user when nothing was said to pin that directly on
you. As I said earlier, most people in this country seldom discuss drugs.


What planet is your country on? You cqn hardly turn on the TV
or go to the local supermarket without hearing the discussion.

Of
those who do, most don't see legalization as an option worthy of
consideration.


In your tiny town maybe. Come on out to the west coast and
hear reality.

Therefore, when one sees someone fanatically


Your simple-minded characterization.

arguing in favor
of legalization, not just discussing it in passing, it is certainly
reasonable to wonder if that person has personal motivations for doing so -
motivations beyond just politics or taxes.


Like hell it's reasonable. Unless you're the kind of
narrow-minded jerk (which you have shown yourself to be) who has to
mpute criminal motives to those who don't agree with his pontifical
generalizations, gleaned from governmeb=nt pamphlets.

And you believe what, Jer? That the government is here to harm you? That a
government elected by the people should be disbanded because it prevents you
from doing whatever you want? Or do you just prefer a government ran by
Jer's rules alone?


What kind of pisass logic teacher taught you that anything not
A must therefore be Z? We have lots of other choices of letters.

(snip) Nobody expects you to know the intricacies
of alcohol laws in different jurisdictions. They're
probably complicated enough in your own state and
county. That you didn't even know that there are dry
counties anywhere is the issue. If you were unaware
of something about our most widely abused drug
that is so widely known, why should your
unsubstantiated claims about other drugs be accepted?



I don't know the specific drug laws in every town, county, or state
either, nor would I likely waste time researching that since it is
essentually a local issue. After all, that is not really germane to the
issue being discussed here - the general question of whether illegal drugs
should be illegal.


Don't you get dizzy living out there in the Land of Circular
Arguments.

Do you really equate oral sex and illegal
drug use?


Of course I do.



I'm sure you do. However, since most people see those as two entirely
different things, I doubt it is true for most reading your comments.


(snip) You offered an argument based on the similarity
of the punishment for two crimes, and then used it to
make yet another bizarre leapt indicating your inability
to see how different the crimes themselves are. (snip)



Now you're trying to twist my words. Beyond the context given (arrests
ruin lives and are a disappointment to families), I said nothing about "the
similarity of the punishment for two crimes." Therefore, I didn't use that
to make a leap to anything.


(snip) You've taken many opportunities to make leaps
of ignorance by going beyond the scope of any given
analogy and coming up with bizarre extrapolations. In
this case (snip)



The only bizarre extrapolations here seem to be coming from your own mind,
not anything else. Have you not noticed that you seem to be the only person
here coming to these strange conclusions about the things I've said. Most
others, even those who disagree with my views, seem to have no problem
comprehending exactly what I'm saying.


Bullcrap -- most of wht you write is barely above the level of
gibberish.

In reality, I suspect you also
understand very well what I'm saying, but just don't like what is said.

Stewart
