fiend, they want to know your other proposals as with regards to sorting the drug problem.
No, its because you know her. It doesn't matter whether you specifically discuss this subject or not. As her friend, you're likely to know her general views on life and you know how she communicates.
I wasn't arguing about her perception of your opinion.
Smoking cannabis doesn't cause people to become loud and offensive. If the people behind your garden loud are becoming loud and offensive, it ain't because of cannabis.
My response was that if people didn't insist on breaking the current laws there wouldn't really be a market to be run by the gangsters.
Then be more expressive in your responses. It doesn't really gain you much respect by just stating 'bullshit'.
And I told you that you're living in a fantasy land. Human beings like drugs. Always have done always will. Given that piece of hardly earth shattering news, I'll ask you again. What do you think is better? A properly legal and controlled market or an illegal uncontrolled market run by gangsters?
Yes of course you would.
I'm not living in a fantasy land, I said that if people didn't buy drugs there wouldn't be a problem. You're suggest that there are only two options, there are three, abstention being the third.
And our response is that the laws at the moment don't people taking drugs and actaully do more harm than good to those that choose to take them.
Do you think the law as it stands is working?
Or do you have ideas of your own?
You're living on another planet lol...no politician is going to tell me what i can and can't do in the privacy of my own home which affects no-one but myself. To try and do so is tyranny.
You are living in a fantasy land. People do things that you might not necessarily agree with. Get over it, accept it and move on.
So I'll ask you again - given that total abstension is not an option, what is your solution?
this isn't really totally relevant to the topic of conversation
And how exactly do you propose to make people abstain?
Oh my god. You're away with the fairies.
Think before you post eh...people like drugs, it's been said before, nothing's going to change that...taking that into account, there are only two fucking choices.
Abstention is an option, it's a question of choice. How you love that word, choice. It's the foundation for every arguement that you have, 'I should have the right to choose'.
I don't propose to make anyone do anything, I'm not in a position to. Why aren't people just able to abstain? It's not that hard.
People like using drugs. FACT. Now, given this fact, what do think is better? The current situation or legalisation?
It is bullshit...ask anyone, scientists, pychologists whatever, they'll tell you to say cannabis causes people to be loud and offensive is utter bullshit.
Don't be daft. Plenty of people I know abstain. But you're not being realistic. Plenty of other people like taking drugs.
So, given this, I'll ask again. What do think is better? The current situation or legalisation?
What is frankly quite hilarious if the fact you're totally missing the point. I don't know if it can be put any simpler for you, i really don't.
If you want to abstain totally, no problem...if you want indulge, also no problem...agree?
It isn't a simple choice, 'do you like it or not'. Neither situation is perfect. Personally I'd prefer it if the the preparation of drugs had never been discovered.
If I can come up with option number four I'll get back to you, but til then abstaining is my favourite.
So you think that the answer to the worlds drug problem is for people to abstain from taking them. This is crap.
We don't want to abstain and that's the point. That's why the laws we have don't work. There are people that don't find it easy to abstain - they're called addicts.
I'll ask you again do you think that the drug laws we have now work? Would you like to see them remain or do you have any better ideas.
Anwer me this time?
I'm not asking you if you want to take drugs or not, i'm saying it's better if drugs were legalised for those who want to take them. Do you not understand?
And for those that don't.
Let's not confuse her mate
"but i don't want to take drugs, i want to abstain" lmfao
Why don't you start looking at the world how it actually is, not how you'd like it to be in some ideal fairyland. And stop making fatuous comparisons, like speeding.
Oh and "I'd prefer it if the the preparation of drugs had never been discovered."? So no painkillers, no anaesthetic, no medicine of any kind? Really? Is that what you want?
