Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 " Once someone makes a choice, whether deluted by an illness or even in commition of the " false crime opposing fundmental liberties " . It can be argued that anyone taking drugs or at least some are doing so becuase they are ill. There is no personal liability to what the every essence of free will allows. The laws though intending to be helpfull are indeed violations of liberties themselves. Especially in cases where those who morally oppose usages remove the liberties becuase of their beliefs. Usage itself is counter-productive and harmfull but to be imprisioned for it is equally wrong when they should be treated instead of punished for freedoms. " , Every illegal drug that exists has a legal substitute that can be medically prescribed by a doctor. Therefore, there is no reason whatsoever to use illegal drugs. People who do so would be breaking the law and therefore ought to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, which means that some of their civil liberties will be removed. They made the decision to break the law, therefore they should fully expect to reap the reprucussions of breaking the law.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Personally I believe the law is illegal. In exeption for those that manufacture them. The addict must first be ill thus incompetent to be held liable.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Many of the rules oppose freedom.. I consider rules meant to be broken as long as it does not directly harm another individual or intentially indirectly harm an individual. This is when moral oppression becomes something other then a good ethic. Such is the case with illegal drugs, it only harms the individual (if now slow suicide) but environmentally some drugs distroy our environment. " ... <snip> ...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 " The laws currently though protective of society are to harsh, they jail people for being ill and basically remove there freedoms. " The laws did not exist in the first place until drug addicts caused so much crime and so much trouble that laws became necessary to combat the problem. If the laws are harsh, blame the people who caused the laws to be created and passed: The illegal drug users, sellers, and addicts. " Anyone on drugs instead of being in jail should be treated unless selling them in my opinion. " They SHOULD be treated, but who should pay for their treatment? I didn't start them on drugs, so why should I pay to get them off drugs? They made their own mess. Let them clean it up. " Punishing someone for being ill is to me a moral oppression and persecution. " If a person is ill, then they should be treated. But if a person is using drugs recreationally, then they ought to be jailed until such time as they get overtheir addictions and until they can repay whatever other debts to society they ought to be paying.

" While it is your personal belief that the law is illegal, it is, nonetheless, the law. Additionally, an addict need not be ill first before becoming an addict. All it takes is the desire to taste of the forbidden fruit and then to enjoy it to such a degree that you allow the addiction to control life rather than maintain control over one's own life.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Surely we cannot assume all drug addicts to be criminal towards others other then the illegal usage. It is money yet again which will heal or distroy, heal from addiction or distroy with addiction. Drugs cost money, a drug addict is hopelessly addicted and is no longer him or herself. Compassion heals and injailing hates. Moralist that make these laws are down right oppressive. A drug addict is no longer him or herself and they are gone in the head. Money distroys by not providing itself to heal. Money is a problem societally. > > " The laws currently though protective of society are to harsh, they > jail people for being ill and basically remove there freedoms.

" And this is why we have the problems we have. So many people feel rules are meant to be broken. Then later on, they wonder why there is so much trouble and strife in the world. It is because these rule breakers caused it. That's why. Thanks , you just illustrated my point. Tom Administrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't deserve this so please just stop it. Well I don't deserve you false allegations that I am commenting on posts because of a personal relationship with Tom. A year ago, two years ago, I posted just as I post today ... from my heart and with proof to back up that which I claim is fact. But because I am involved with Tom, you feel that it is appropriate to diminish my opinion by making a big deal out of the relationship. I am not over-reacting. You are attributing 'emotion' to posts where no emotion has been placed, but where my opinion has been stated as well as, in some cases, personal experience or facts. Get over yourself already. I don't deserve this so YOU please just stop it. Raven Co-Administrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were your comments during these three episodes merely bias argument of relational " emotions " on your part? Despite your repeated attacks against me over the years, I post to you respectfully. But because you do not like my opinion, you have chosen to attack my personal relationship rather than argue points of law and logic. And , I have indeed said these things to you before.
