Gotta Love the Drug War

[2stony]

No,  the guy in the house was the dealer(no growing going on). His brother was a sheriff. I believe the police did check to see if the cop(brother)was on duty so he wouldn't be there during the raid. Still quite bumbling if they didn't even know he had moved out of the house.

If I get behind the wheel after drinking and kill someone, you have my permission to put a bullet to my brain.

If we wait until something bad happens to enact legislation against it, then there's no need to prohibit the ownership of nuclear weapons by private US citizens, since to date no private US citizen has ever used a nuclear weapon against another US citizen.  

Prohibition against the private ownership of nuclear weapons doesn't bother me a bit.

Well I gues I was right about you living in fantasy land, that  is one of the fantasy land liberals fav arguments right there...


Have fun in the imaginary utopia that will never happen. We in the real world LIKE freedom.

Hopefully the real world will move closer to my fantasy land.  After all, moving towards my ideal is why I vote.  Otherwise, why bother?

Where do you draw the line below nukes? Howitzers? High explosives? Armor piercing rounds? Hollow points? Semi-active weapons?

Good point, frankly though I think you are going to be disapointed, no one is going to ban alcohol again, and I bet in our lifetime drugs get decriminilized and pots gets legal.


People will still ruin their lives with both, but it still wont be the drug/boozes fault, no mater how hard you try and blame it.

Your right Eagler,

Just like religion as well.


Some people need a crutch.

Think about it.  coorporations could sell it so much cheaper than any street dealer could think of so it would put alot of them out of business.  Put an age limit on it like 18 or 21 and TAX THE HELL OUT IF IT just like tobacco and alcohol.


Just my opinion that keeping it illegal does more harm than good.

100%

I'm a mental health counselor, and MJ is the ONLY drug known, that helps psychotics' elimanate the "voices in their head." Most of those pot-heads we see and know, are probably suffering from some psychosis not otherwise specified.

The only illegal stuff would be what the DEA keeps for their own personal use. It could be help to the same governmental standards for alcohol and cigarettes.

Believe it or not, there are groups out there considering doing just that.

how many of those are you a memeber of?  maybe you should save a few people from cheeseburgers as a lagacy for your dad.

this whole mindset of "I must interfere in the life of others, because a loved one of mine is has suffered.  DON'T LET THERE LIFE BE IN VAIN."

this only  pales in annoyance to "THINK OF THE CHILDREN"

sometimes your only purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.

Dont blame the booze on that one. The dude had a number of other issues lonmg before he hit the bottle.

Oh, don't blame the gun companies, either....

Blame the dude for not being able to hold his alcol consumption, and his anger, in check. Then,  lock his a** up

From another thread, but...

Cheeseburgers didn't kill my dad, but his legacy was to serve as a warning to me.

I just thought you might join some of these other nannying groups.  you seem to agree with the mindset.

I can aplaud your deciding not to drink because of your dads example.  that is an excellent quality.  it's wise to learn from your mistakes and brilliant to learn from others.

but for you to decide what others should be allowed to do based on your dads mistakes is just finding something else to blame instead of allowing him to take responsability for his own behavior.
