Herd instincts?

[UltimatePatriot]

Well that was a useless comparison. Marijuana slows responses too.

Not at all, you idiot. Cannabis has different affects on different
people, and it also varies with the species in use.

Some has depressant like effects, whereas some (more) have stimulant
like effects.

Since you only go with the crap you have been fed all your life, you
wouldn't even fucking know.

Come back when you have a clue beyond the hearsay you decided to
believe all your pathetic life.

Obviously, anyone driving under its influence will suffer similar
consequences as those driving under alcohol's influence.

Absolutely proven to be otherwise.

Obviously, the
same "drunk driving" restrictions must be applied to marijuana as well, if
it is to be legalized.

Show me where cannabis use causes 50,000 deaths a year on our nations
roadways. You can't. You are uninformed, and obviously misinformed as
well. Come back when you have a clue.

 

[UltimatePatriot]

Ah, the old classic out of context one liner quote, snip the rest, and
go zinging off on an unrelated topic.

**** you, idiot.

 

[UltimatePatriot]

The merits, or not, of any particular policy, and that includes your
opinions on drug use, have nothing to do with the topic I was
discussing, which was the means by which policy is 'debated'.

I didn't start at the beginning of this thread, fucktard. I responded
to the part of the thread I jumped in at, so **** off, boy.

 

[UltimatePatriot]

Factually untrue, as even a most careless perusal of the budget would
reveal.

Try perusing the change in this country that has taken place in the
school systems, and the degradation of educational capability is in
primary schools these days.

Were there kids shooting other kids back when you went to school?

Did the kids wear their pants down past their asscracks?

Were they dumber than dog shit, like they are these days?

You're an idiot, boy. You must be a recent "kid".

 

[UltimatePatriot]

The harder drugs are not being smuggled in because cannabis is
illegal; the harder ones are illegal too.

You ain't real bright, boy.

Before the crackdown of the early eighties and beyond, 100 ton shipments
of Columbian weed came in through Miami, and then came up I-75 and then
spread to other points out of Cincinnati. We didn't need harder drugs.
California was the only place where Mexican weed was prevalent.

After the crackdown, NO shipments of weed come in because it is far too
easy to detect, and as a result, cocaine and other harder drugs are what
got/get sent in to us all because that is what they were/are able to get
through without any/many losses. As a result of that, kids are into
huffing paint cans and all other manner of utter stupidity, as opposed to
the benign cannabis.

Come back when you have a clue.

 

[ChairmanOfTheBored]

I guess you missed prohibition in history class.

You're a goddamned retard.

 

[UltimatePatriot]

Only if one presumes the supreme goal is to become inebriated.

You're a fucking retard. Wine, beer and liqueurs can be drank as a
beverage. Hard drinks are specifically meant to infuse large amounts of
alcohol into one's body, and are rarely drank as a single, one time
deal... ie as a beverage.

 

[UltimatePatriot]

Can you cite one example of a car crash that was "caused" by marijuana
use?

Dood, if you're too stoned to drive, you won't even want to drive.

Much less 50,000 plus cases a year.

 

[The Great Attractor]

Does this mean pre-emptive talking or pre-emptive shooting ??

Another dead solder for Bush.

If you had actually made your position clear, you might deserve a
response, dipshit.

 

[The Great Attractor]

False. All the rest is fluff used to construct the *business* of religion
for profit.

No religion makes a profit on me. My faith does not involve ANY
monetary transaction.

This part applies to you, obviously.

 

[The Great Attractor]

He really means "our groups are only for discussions of topics for which
Thompson approves."

No... Didn't you see the retard's little wink at the end of his
horseshit?

Still doesn't change the fact that he has "issues".

 

[UltimatePatriot]

You must be stoned right now to say something so 'profoundly' absurd.

Come on, fucktard. Back up your bullshit.

When, in the entire escalation of cannabis use since the sixties, has
there been documentation of any THC related accidents?

There hasn't. Yet recently, law enforcement retards want us all to
think there has due to us citing this anomaly in their logic.

So they show stats on positive tests for THC in recent traffic
accidents and stops.

Problem is that there is NO test for THC IN the body. The test only
finds metabolites which indicate that THC had been in the body... at
some time in the last TWO MONTHS.

Hardly a valid statistic pointer.

Come back when you actually have a clue.

To start with, why don't you give us all stats on traffic accidents in
countries where THC use is legal and prevalent?

What's that? Oh yeah... fucking silence is hard to hear.

 

[Eeyore]

Not just in the USA sadly.

That is one way of looking at the situation.
Another would be to look at the academic merits of of the socially
conservative professors who aren't doing as well as their more liberal
counterparts.
The Enterprise Institute isn't really competent to do that kind of
study, and in any event its conclusions probably wouldn't suit the
people who fund the Enterprise Institute.
It is noticeable that physically conservative professors who still
believe in phlogiston and the ether are also under-represented in
university faculties, but since their invalid theories aren't useful
for transferring money from the poor to the rich the Enterprise
Institute hasn't any interest in demonstating that universities go in
for "physically correct" groupthink in staffing their physics and
chemistry departments.
Economics is different. Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine" ISBN
978-1-846-14028-0 has some interesting things to say about the
"politically incorrect" Chicago School monetarist economists whose
major claim to influence is that their advice - while disasterous for
an economy as a whole - produces results that make money for the very
rich, at the expense of everybody else.

Oh man, I'm reading that too! I can't finish it from the bad taste it
leaves in my mouth.
So, a7yvm109gf5d1, you are a peasant like Slowman ?

[snip]

Great, another herd response from the freep-bot...

So you think the "Chicago School monetarist economists" are wrong? How
have they damaged YOUR economy other than to knock down the pricing of
peasants ?

Margaret Thatcher took their advice and managed to achieve markedly
lower rates of economic growth than Germany and France while she was
in power. Most of my time in the U.K. was spent working under her dire
economic influence - I got there in 1971 and she was Prime Minister
from 1979 to 1990, and her glove puppet - John Major - was still in
power when I left in 1993.

to the part of the thread I jumped in at, so **** off, boy.

Didn't have to start at the 'beginning'. All you had to do was read
the message being replied to rather than, as I said, pulling one
sentence out of context.

 

[flipper]

Try

Why don't you try reading a whole message instead of pulling sentences
out of context?

The claim made was "all the money" and it's trivially obvious that the
claim is false.

perusing the change in this country that has taken place in the
school systems, and the degradation of educational capability is in
primary schools these days.

Were there kids shooting other kids back when you went to school?

Did the kids wear their pants down past their asscracks?

Were they dumber than dog shit, like they are these days?

Rattling off what you see as problems doesn't say a blessed thing
about the 'cause' of them nor does it alter the fact that your claim
"all the money" is patently false.

You're an idiot, boy. You must be a recent "kid".

Considering your inability to handle more than one sentence at a time
and complete lack of reading comprehension skills and logic I was
tempted to say the same about you. But then I guess a few dummies
slipped through even in the 'good ole days'.

 

[Don Bowey]

No religion makes a profit on me.

Good for you.

My faith does not involve ANY monetary transaction.

Bullie for you.

Platitudes are for the weak minded like you

This part applies to you, obviously.

Whatever.

You must be partaking of the product if you think hard drugs is a
'new' problem.
