I may not be worth your time, and I saw the threads in reverse order (as you have probably guessed by now). I've seen the arguments and cases you are both using, him mostly dependent on the US Prohibition case currently, and you mostly on the Chinese problems when the English were pushing heroin int...

No need to shout. It's as unbecoming when you do it as it is when Diogenes does it. I think all threads on this topic could stand to be locked, it's a waste of energy and a needless source of friction and it isn't what this forum is supposed to be dedicated to. Dude, you are talking to the moderato...

I'm suggesting that adults be treated as adults and allowed to make their own mistakes. The status quo of outlawed drugs has the USA with the highest percentage of our adult population incarcerated of any "civilized" country. If that isn't an imposition on the personal freedoms of *every* American t...

You don't need to shout, and the fastest way to a police state is to give the police more power. If you don't have powerful police, you cannot have a police state. If you disagree with this assertion (as I am not backing it up with studies and references yet) you should come up with a compelling arg...

And so are you. I have it on competent authority you are addicted to air. You can't go ten minutes without it. That is a very serious Jones. But don't feel bad. I share your addiction. GIT is perfect, therefore anybody who disagrees with him must have grievous flaws. As long as you keep that straig...

Your seeming failure to be aware of just how drug addicts impact negatively upon everyone around them indicates such a dire lack of knowledge on the subject that you need a crash course in experience with drug addicts just to catch up enough to be on the same page with the rest of us who are discus...

You aren't looking at the correct experiment. You need to look at the experiment that left hundreds of millions of dead bodies behind. The experiment of Legalizing Opium use in China. Would you take a scientist seriously if he tried to transfer the outcome of a single experiment to a situation with...

If you take money out of circulation, whatever money remains in circulation takes on greater value. That would only be true if the money had been burned. With it sitting in a vault, it is still there. If the money stops circulating it really is deflationary, even if the money itself still nominally...

Rio, I don't think you're going to be able to get enough thrust to be interesting from any of the atmospheric (and cat) safe electronic thruster technologies.

You know, Simon may be going on ranting about things and he may not always be right. But he has never been anything but nice to people here. Oh please don't act like a moron. Simon has threatened me multiple times. He's not the person you pretend, nor he pretends. He's a druggie. And so are you. I ...

I'm curious - was the problem with the addicts their behavior - i.e. lassitude. Or was it an economic problem - stealing to support their habits. If both which was the most bothersome? Behavior was the big problem. We were quite concerned for my relative's safety, and that something might happen th...

I have had to assist in the removal of addicts from the home of a family member before. I am no fan of drugs. I favor legalization despite my personal experience . What's your story? I'm curious - was the problem with the addicts their behavior - i.e. lassitude. Or was it an economic problem - stea...

Just out of curiosity, how many of you who are continually arguing for repeal of drug prohibition, are drug users? TDPerk, williatw, Skippy, randomencounter, AcesHigh and of course Simon and anyone else who wants to be included on that list: please tell us all: a) are you a user? b) have you ever b...

If those illegal drugs were legal, their use would expand greatly. Granting you premise I take it you would prefer the current and expanding police state as an alternative? And my response is this. Make drugs legal, and we'll get a police state MUCH FASTER. As a matter of fact, the only reason we a...
