Like pre-marital sex?
Like smoking weed
so does the rest of the world
[sarcasm]In high school we learn this is a viable excuse.[/sarcasm]
I'm not exactly sure what you're saying here. I'm an atheist, so am I included?
It's not only about religion. I don't know what you believe.
[quote]Any drug that people use to alter their perception of reality wastes time and money.
Video games are a waste of time and money. Most TV programs are a waste of time and money. Porn is a waste of time, money, and semen. Art is a waste of paper. Church is a waste of time, money, and resources. Race cars are a waste of materials and gasoline. Sports are a waste of time and money. Fried foods are unhealthy and therefore a waste of money.[/quote]
Ok? People as a whole can and do agree to everything you just said as being true.
You are right! I shouldn't do or enjoy any of those things listed above. Except I'm not perfect. I have to succumb to something, though I try not to. Except weed is something on that list you can obviously identify and purge in real life. There is no temptation to smoke weed, unless of course you made it a habit in your daily life.
1. We have the right to do whatever we want with our own money. If you don't like how I spend my money, then too bad. It's my money that I WORKED for. Don't tell me how to spend my money.
Right. As long as someone wants to sell it, you have the right to buy it. Capitalism 101.
If marijuana is kept illegal because it's a "waste" of money, then we should also ban video games, porn, and everything else I listed previously.
Just think how productive our days will become.
2. If it's "selfish" to buy marijuana so that one can make themselves happy, then it must also be "selfish" for them to buy movie tickets, football tickets, video games, and so on.
And so forth. Until everyone is given the same opportunity as we are to blow all of our money away on worthless entertainment, we are all in a situation where we have bad priorities.
What every happened to the pursuit of happiness?
The pursuit of happiness is intended to mean the ability to move up in the world, free of oppression. No one is restricted to a certain class/job/lifestyle because of where they come from.
I don't think the founding fathers had getting blazed in mind when they wrote it.
Selfish? For spending money on ourselves? God forbid I use my money to have a good time.
Your an atheist. You really shouldn't use that expression, it gives people bad signals.
Go for it. Fill yourself up on short term satisfaction. It just doesn't call for very many memories when your older.
Guilty? That one is just hilarious. Guilty of what? Guilty of smoking marijuana? If marijuana wasn't a crime, then no one would be guilty. Problem solved.
Well, only the people who's moral background only extends to what is legal and illegal. I think I covered that.
Good for YOU. Live YOUR OWN LIFE free of alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana.
Don't force your morals on everyone else.
I'm not forcing my morals on someone else. I'm expressing my ****ing opinion. I didn't say "You should think this, cause I think I'm right." In fact, that's what
you're doing. I said something. You responded. I responded. You responded. And now (apparently) I'm forcing my views upon you. Don't turn this discussion into an argument.
i hope for you that you wont be brainwashed like that for your entire life. i hope for you that you will sometime see how stupid your statement about this matter is. there is so much wrong in that comment and it's full whit lies.
So, since I'm wrong in your opinion, I have a cloud over my eyes. That's how a debate works. Just cause you agree with the popular side doesn't make you right, or even smart.
