Boy that was pretty quick... what if Clay was gonna be generous and give you say, a healthy chunk of the return? He's a giving kinda guy, aren'tcha clay? [

And formula, water, milk and coca cola are clearly stepping blocks to alcoholism. Not to many alcoholics that didn't start with those beverages. And if you think at least one of those beverages doesn't alter behavious, than you obviously have never seen a toddler or pre-teen after a can of coke or two..... C'mon everyone! Let's do our morning STRRRRRRRRETCHES! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Oh, that's an easy one for me... Samoan every day of the week and twice on Sunday! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

I totally support the government telling me what I can and can't do to other people's bodies (without their consent). If I violate those laws, they'd be right to prosecute me. But there shouldn't be an *assumption* that I will hurt someone else. Plenty of people drink and do drugs today without hurting others...in "the land of the free", that should be a legal option. Blues, Dave To an extent, i really don't disagree... I really don't... I've just seen and heard about too much carnage... people killed by drunk drivers, people strung out on dope, meth addicts neglecting their kids, or blowing them up... I don't know where the line is. Once you're impaired, it's far too easy for you to decide you'll do x, y, or z b/c your inhibitions are lowered, you feel more invincible, or whatever, and you wind up doing something you wouldn't do when you were sober. And, when that happens and you hurt someone along the way, yeah, you should pay dearly, but that doesn't erase the hurt you caused to that person. It just doesn't make sense to me. And just b/c "plenty of people do [it] today w/o hurting people" is FAR from a compelling argument, since MANY people DO hurt and kill people while doing it. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Ok.... slight HI-JACK time.... can we start a collection to help our friend Hexadecimal type. Maybe just a dictionary??? Anyone??? Anyone??? Let's just chop his f*ckin hands off. It's damn annoying. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Bill, IMO, your distinction b/t guns and pot borders on complete insanity. We weren't comparing using guns on oneself vs. smoking pot . Kallend was talking about the careless shooting of someone else vs. harming someone else while under the influence of a psychoactive substance. But if you went w/ your example, again you could substitute ANY impliment that you could use to harm yourself w/... an ice pick, a hammer, a razor blade. Here's a statement you made that is laughable... "If you use MJ on yourself, you may become impaired." I'm assuming you mean that if you don't inhale, a la slick willy, you run the risk of not impairing yourself? Or "if you use a gun on yourself..." same thing... You're comparing people who use guns foolishly to people who use MJ foolishly. I think this is a false comparison. The whole point of smoking MJ (recreationally) is to become impaired, to experience the high! The majority of people who use guns aren't using them to use them to impair themselves! It's an invalid comparison. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

b/c addicts at times have this uncanny ability to drag many other people down into their hell and either kill them, maim them, or just plain fuck them up. and addicts shouldn't have that right. "their body, their choice." sure, until it interferes w/ the rights of OTHER people... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Looks like a nice duplicitous, vicious cycle you have there. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Yes. The government shouldn't be telling me what I can and can't do to my own body. Let Darwin do his thing. Blues, Dave The govt. sure as shit can and SHOULD be telling you what you can do w/ your body when it can and will affect other peoples bodies! You wanna fuck up your body, fine... but too many people TOO MANY TIMES have fucked up TOO MANY LIVES by doing drugs and hurt or killed other people in the process. Where's Darwin then? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

SURE! Yeah, every time I thumb through a new gun magazine at the news stand, I have this incredible desire to gorge on doritos. And when the effects wear off, I just HAVE to go score a real gun or I start to itch ALL over and if I don't have it RIGHT NOW I'm gonna rob granny over there and take her pearl earrings RIGHT off her and hock them so I can buy that fucking gun and go shoot it! I'm a gun junkie!!! Good lord John. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

No Rob, it's not the same. MJ is a psychoactive substance that impairs the brain. Guns do not. There is a difference. A gun is a tool. MJ is not. See my previous posts. Nonsense. MJ is a tool in the medical treatment of glaucoma and cancer (or it would be if not outlawed). And you only have to read SC to realize that gun ownership DOES affect some people's brains. We were talking about recreational/abusive use of MJ. Leave it to you to distort things as well as to get a dig into people you don't like. Typical. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

You so rock... here's a few items I already have on my wish list that you mentioned... I bolded them in your msg... Thanks for the post. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Such as? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

You have a very good point and one that I don't disagree with EXCEPT for the addictive nature of drugs. Guns are not addictive. Well, see, you just brought that up. It was not in the message I responded to. You merely said that people under the influence cause problems. So, let me go with this and then I must take my leave. Does the illegality of drugs cut down on addiction? Has it cut down on crime? On usage? Nope. People with addictive personalities find ways around laws to fill their needs. I know people who have casually used "harder" and "more addictive" drugs for years. Not one is an addict. Not one has caused societal problems. On the other hand, I know quite a few that ABHOR drugs but are alcoholics and have cause all sorts of strife. Others are compulsive gamblers. Addiction comes in many forms. I don't think MJ is one of them..at least not physically. The idea that addiction will go up because it is legal is not a valid one to me; short of destroying all drugs everywhere, people with addictive tendencies will find a way. See you later.

Not to put a serious spin on a funny thread, but that would never happen.LEOs and Correctional Officers that are convicted of crimes get sent to federal facilities in a different state other than that in which they were officers.Like my husband for example, he is a TX Correctional Officer.Were he to be convicted of a felony he would be sent to a fed. facility in Florida.Reciprocally, Florida LEOs and Correctional Officers are sent here to a facility in TX.They never mix ex-LEOs and correctional officers with the general population; they remain under protective custody to keep your scenario or worse from happening. Just FYI

Heroes all. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

BAH!!! That made me chuckle! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

That has GOT to be the lamest, most piss-poor attempt at an argument yet, John. Attack a group when you have NOTHING to rebutt with. If you're attempting to address this to me, since you've made nanny comments to me several times recently, you've made an unwarranted assumption... that I don't like pot for one. I happen to love it. I just don't smoke it anymore, b/c I'm a responsible parent and citizen. Given how incredibly stupid a vast plethora of people are in this world, I think it behooves the govt. to regulate substances that are harmful not only to people who would use/abuse/become dependent on, but who would also not have the brains to NOT harm those smart enough to NOT use them while out and about in society! And you don't have to have a PhD (perhaps it would be better to NOT have one!) to know one is much more likely to harm oneself and others while under the influence of mind altering chemicals than while sober. The Govt. may not be your nanny John, but sometimes you argue like you NEED one. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

And therein lies the duplicity of our govt. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

You are so so wrong But loving me is right I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Um, where did they put the postage???? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

I've NEVER practices my arch at the urinal, but I HAVE pretended my scrotum was a hackey! Does my hand still win? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Royal Flush here baby!! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...
