i have an abstinence program for you - raskolnikov MU - 3/19 20:26:41

All drugs should be legal. - MrBlueSky MU - 3/19 17:45:29

Yeah, prison time for drugs hasn't worked very well so far. - JeffB MU

- 3/19 19:00:47

Yep.... no one is in prison for snorting a line of coke - Spanky KU - 3/19 19:24:07

all guns should be legal using your 'logic' - Spanky KU - 3/19 17:51:13

There's a difference, spanks - MrBlueSky MU - 3/19 18:21:28

you have as conflicting a position here as he does - yours - 90Tiger MU - 3/19 18:34:00

Guns are not physical violence by themselves - Spanky KU - 3/19 18:33:09

and drugs could be used to... yes, drug people, & even kill - JeffB MU

- 3/19 18:56:36

and drug addiction invariably leads to job loss & stealing - Spanky KU - 3/19 19:00:35

Do we have lower addiction rates that countries that have - JeffB MU

- 3/19 19:03:59

that was the entire goal of the ‘war on drugs’ - Spanky KU - 3/19 19:21:30

no (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 3/19 19:25:23

Yes - Spanky KU - 3/19 23:06:01

You suck at logic.(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/19 17:58:33

Prison time for guns, burglary, rape, murder or otherwise, - Spanky KU - 3/19 18:01:24

Agaiin you suck at logic. Snorting a line of cocaine - TigerMatt STL - 3/19 18:04:58

No-one is in prison for snorting a line of coke - Spanky KU - 3/19 18:16:41

and irrelevant. selling coke to someone who wants to use it - 90Tiger MU - 3/19 18:30:12

It actually does... they become addicts and then infringe on - Spanky KU - 3/19 19:23:12

and you buy guns...and can infringe on people with them...a - 90Tiger MU - 3/19 19:25:53

99.99% of weapons sold are not involved in violent crimes - Spanky KU - 3/19 19:33:20

False. - TigerMatt STL - 3/19 19:48:43

How cute that you think that means75% of heroin is sold - Spanky KU - 3/19 20:19:51

The crime would be when they infringe on others (nm) - Sal KC - 3/19 19:25:28

same as guns. the crime is the crime, not the possibility - 90Tiger MU - 3/19 19:27:27

Wrong. (nm) - TigerMatt STL - 3/19 18:25:01

Truth. - Spanky KU - 3/19 18:30:20

drug convictions are used for 3 strike penalties, spanky (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 3/19 18:32:59

a line of coke is not a 3rd strike felony in any state - Spanky KU - 3/19 18:33:58

you're being pedantic, intentionally, and perpetually (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 3/19 18:36:36

And you are avoiding my question asking where - Spanky KU - 3/19 18:55:59

because its a red herring and you're being pedantic - 90Tiger MU - 3/19 19:26:32

So your 3rd strike story was a red herring? - Spanky KU - 3/19 20:21:27

he doesn't have a basis for his view; his view is whatever - 90Tiger MU - 3/19 18:15:07

Dipsh#t doctors and dentists that wont prescribe opioids cuz - Uncle Fester USMC - 3/19 17:35:44

I agree, prescriptions should be available as needed. - MrBlueSky MU - 3/19 17:46:52

That did not cause the issue..75% of abusers were never - Spanky KU - 3/19 17:50:04

That is an incredibly misleading statistic - MrBlueSky MU - 3/19 18:20:20
