I realize he's fellow Libertarian Ralphie, but do you realize, he promotes cigarette smoking!!! (aCW waits for Ralphie to get himself up off the floor).

And being from the south (TN as I recall), 13 year old girls (most likely related to him), well, it goes without saying.

(straight dope, pretty clever huh?).

In any event, why don't you and your new "friend" (but will zeus get jealous?), take your cigarette fetish elsewhere, this topic is about how legalizing recreational drugs would have saved Whitney Houston.

You've been challenged TOL wonderboy. Put up or shut up.

Driving under the influence of alcohol isn't. Why do you suppose that is BB? Hey, maybe it's the car's fault for all associated casualties right?

All of those deaths are to the drinker, not a bystander. Please try to stay focused on your own point.
Nah, it was focused enough. If you drink and drive you're being an irresponsible plank. Pretty much like subjecting others to seond hand smoke....

Quote:

Murder is a premeditated conscious act regardless. Driving under the influence of a drug which is proven to impair reactions, concentration and focus is irresponsible. Not comparable.

Alcohol is legal.
Drink driving isn't. Suck it up...






Well this is fun isn't it?

I just did in the way of a challenge. Let's see if Willy Billy Jim Bob (i.e. "TOL old timer") takes me up on it.

Right; in order to be pro life and enforce laws against abortion, I'd also have to be for a Christian theocracy (an oxymoron if there ever was one, since you can't force Christianity on anyone).

Round up your new friend Ralphie (not to be confused with your pro homosexual friend zeus) and come visit me in the Libertarian thread or the Founding Fathers thread.

Safety in numbers ya know.

Not really, you can buy scripts off the street these days thanks to the internet and to dirty docs and a script addict can always go to multiple doctors for them.

When I say treatment, I am speaking of either rehab or jail ... whatever it takes to get the poison out of their system.
The addict doesnt stop untill they want to stop.

There is no good reason to allow individuals to utilize high risk prescription drugs without being monitored by their physician and pharmacist.
It does no good for the addict - they get it one way or another - legalizing it just makes it easier and would make more addicts quicker.
