    Selfish to me is trying to control peoples lives to fit just the way you want them to be.

    selfish to me is not passing that pipe this way... ;):lol::lol:

    I'm out ....
    said my peace and then some

    legalizing all drugs is ridiculous

    decriminalizing pot maybe ok as long as it doesn't forward the movement of
    killer drugs becoming legal....

    You didn't answer any of my questions...why?
    Selfish is not caring about others I know I can't control others :lol:

    and they can't control themselves
    quite obviously... like I said if they could we wouldn't have a thread.

    So your pep talk "come on we can do this" is not happening.[/quote]

    I've answered your questions many times before

    Would I hurt? Maybe, I haven't been in that situation... I would like to think I would try to be the better man and not follow in my dad's footsteps.

    I had an RA last year that came from a poor household in Madison, WI... His mom was a crack addict and gave him the bird at a young age, she drove away...

    Virg isn't a drug user, in fact he is strictly against them... One more year and he will have a 4 year degree, something no one in his family has ever had before.

    We are all connected in this life. Your actions a direct effect on others.

    The heroin addict broke his mothers heart and ruined his children's lives
    destroying what could be a beautiful marriage, a beautiful life.

    That crack smoker just broke a very expensive piece of equipment at his job.
    Resulting in the loss of work and needing government aid. Wonder if he can afford
    that crack now. Maybe not better break in and steal all your hard earned stuff.

    We dropped acid in the park somebody died :shock:

    notice I didn't say anything about the doober on the porch....

    your body is not your own, you have responsibility to society, to those who love you,
    to your employer, to God above if you are so inclined.

    The heroin addict ruined his own life and his family, he caused no one physical harm (The family made a choice to stick around him for some reason).

    The crack smoker should be fired on the spot, you can be fired for being drunk on the job (alcohol is legal).

    That acid user made a choice and died, only hurting himself.

    As sad as it may seem, people die. If you chose to make bad decisions, sorry, not my problem. I will probably feel sorry for your family though... But, drug incidents would happen whether the drugs are legal or not. Freedom has its consequences!

    My body is my own and I could certainly leave society behind anytime I want. I could say adios to my family and quit my job. All the while, I would have to see the positives and negatives of each action.

    I will have made my own choice, maybe given some guidance, but made my own choice in the end.

    That's life

    People have the potential to do the right thing, we can do this folks!

    I agree and well put PFP, but do legalize the natural herb it will unplug our future world. 8-)

    No shit, Cosmo.

    I had a wisdom tooth pulled today, and me and my swollen right cheek are weighing the benefits of taking a vicodin or smoking a bowl.

    Bowl it is.

    This thread is not only about drugs, it's often much like drugs: sometimes it's fun and sometimes it's a bad trip.

    By the way, thank you peacefrompaul for kind empathy. Thankfully I lived through all my past demons and am fortunate to be living a good, fulfilling, productive and sane life.

    It's a tough world we live in and many if not most of us have had to go through some tough times, bad breaks or trauma to make it through. Banning this or that really doesn't help anyone and our plethora of legal pharmaceuticals are often the worst choice of all. If this country spent as much time and money helping people as we do fighting a useless war on drugs there would be many more happy and safe people walking around.

    Lab Tech is right! :thumbup:

    Glad you didn't succumb, at a tender age, to anything extremely dangerous
    and life changing.

    I hope you are just as proud of the good job Mom and Dad did, so many kids don't have this...

    Because war is based in greed and no law ever conquers that

    greed is why we have pushers getting 13 year olds addicted to meth
    killing young bodies to make a buck

    but yet you want laws trying to stop one behavior and not the other...So it is pointless to try to make war illegal because it will always happen due to greed...the same greed that will drive drug production/sales....interesting...do you honestly not see this as a massive contradiction?

    I personally will never stop fighting to make sure that no one dies a needless death...that is, unless you live in another country. Then you can go fuck yourself. We are talking about American kids...you know..the important ones...Foreign kids...you should know better than to simply live your life normally...bombs will be dropping so get the fuck out of the way. Massive cartels cutting heads off are coming Mexican border towns...get the fuck out of the way...

    Pandora, your selective moral position is perplexing.

    Seriously, will you respond to the FACT that the drug war is destroying hundreds of thousands of people world wide, not from using the drugs, but from the production and dominance by cartels...your moral stance weakens every time you ignore it. If you have responded to that, please point me to it, as I must have missed it

    I am against hard drugs will never condone them nor the legalization of them.
    I am not alone obviously.

    I think I have been consistent and given many reasons why I do not support all drugs being legal.

    hey what do you think of the new legal baths salts and cannibal tendencies? :shock:

    ah...the guy in Miami wasn't on them...it was just assumed he was.
    http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-06 ... reet-drugs

    Title of the article Miami cannibal case: NO bath salts or other street drugs found in his system They just found weed.

    I don't care if you are against all drugs or not, You haven't wavered in that position. That is consistant. It is the justification you have is wildly inconsistent. I just I would point out that your stance about greed making laws against war impossible being in DIRECT conflict with your stance on drugs considering by your own words it is greed that forces the production and sale...
    You have been consistent...consistently talking about kids and the lives drugs destroy without ever once acknowledging the lives the DRUG WAR alone destroys. Not the ones choosing to start using, but the ones that are forced from a young age to stand naked as they cut drugs for cartels. But our suburbs and inner cities are the only populations that need protection. That is fine...selective moral outrage and the subsequent abuse in government to "solve" those problems is the reason our country is so polarized, and I will not hesitate to point it out when I see it.
    Personal Liberty has a cost...do you want it or not?

    Was that a defense for bath salts? I was talking about our incident, just one of many,
    occurring recently and the deaths of teens too.

    http://www.q13fox.com/news/kcpq-police- ... 9321.story

    Are you glad this drug is legal? ... Do you think we should protect people
    from those who would cannibalize them while high? Do you think this drug should be illegal?
    It is now currently sold in gas stations.

    http://www.nmslabs.com/services-forensi ... ts-testing do we think perhaps
    it was not detected even after testing done some time later.

    That has been the case with deadly DUI accidents here. No punishment for these deaths
    as it is not detected when collected. The murderers going free.

    Greed is the root to all war and that would include drugs, is the point I made.

    My stance is that I can not condone legalizing all drugs not to save victims of a war,
    any war. Horrendous happenings occur daily here, everywhere that will not change
    the fact that I believe legalizing all drugs to be a most ridiculous solution.
    I can have no part of that, as I said I am no where near alone either.

    I see what you're saying Mike. Its a great point. Unheard of amounts of people are being massacred by violence surrounding the drug war. Beheadings! the drug war violence is insane. I think i'd rather have people dying from their own choice (O.D.), than the drug war killings as a result of violence and greed.
