You are aware that one can support the legalization of weed for non-religious reasons, correct?

How fitting that it's being discussed on "The Blaze."
I disagree with her apparent motives for her position on this but I agree with her position itself.

You are aware that I am not a religious person and support the legalization of weed, right?

Did you bother to read what you were responding to?

I don't regularly use any drug. When did I admit to that? Please quote me, champ.

Quote:

That is called freedom... kinda the idea this country was founded on. If I don't hurt another person or their property, you have NO right to tell me what I can or can not ingest.

Your drug of choice is worse than heroin or crack... why do you think the hardest one should be ONLY one that is legal?
So freedom at any cost? Seriously? Are you that naive? 88,000 people died last year because of alcohol related fatalities.

Your 'drug that doesn't hurt another person' is complete bull****. But please. Go ahead and justify your own addiction at the cost of hundreds of thousands of innocent lives.

I think NO drugs should be illegal. You obviously have a reading problem. I KNOW that anyone who regularly does any drug has an addiction that needs help. Maybe you should spend less time talking to people like me and more time dealing with your addiction.

I hate stupid comments too, which is why I rarely reply to you.

OWS hates people who hire for jobs that hold no benefits. Those the EXACTLY the jobs you hire in your 'businesses'. You are the person you whine about in most of your posts. How do you not see that?

2) If the teachings of Christ from the Bible and organized religion today are so different what is the point? Do you understand the Christian faith is based on following the path of Jesus?
The point? The point is a history of failure of the human condition over the last several hundred years of recorded history of the bible. Everyone has a crutch. For many that crutch is drugs/alcohol (including your own anger/hatred/drug addition). The point of the new testament is that the series of rules/regulations put forth by the bible is completely worthless.

Quote:
As far as my credentials, I took 2 college level courses on the Bible and have read the entire New Testament. I also know a little about Jesus.
My god, two college courses AND you read a book? I am sorry!

You just put yourself at the level of any random high school student serious about their faith.

Please get back to me when you have anything serious to add to this discussion.

Quote:
3) How many jobs have YOU created. You already stated you and some other people took over a business. So please don't answer. YOU created none. For me, 6 this year in one business, 0 in the other. I did create 2 jobs last year in it though.
So far, 17 jobs have been created in the last three years as a direct result of my work. All of those jobs actually give full benefits including health care. I care too much about other people to create part time only jobs that don't give a person health insurance (as you do).

Tell me, if you are actually creating jobs, what business are you in? Why are you so comfortable claiming you create jobs, but uncomfortable saying what your 'businesses' actually do for society?

Quote:
4) The article clearly stated Bank of America execs told employees to lie to homeowners when their payments had actually been received. But we've been over this one a million times too. And you were proven wrong. Last time I believe you had to take a break from the forums.
We have been over this. You have yet to provide a credible source for your claims. Me refusing to indulge your delusional claims is hardly 'taking a break from the forums'. Let me ask you again, do you have any shred of evidence as to what you claim beyond the 2 articles you mindlessly parrot over and over again?

Quote:
5) I don't look back at Wall St. Why would I look back when I have way more fun and a higher earning potential? I'll already do better this year than the crew I came in with. Tell me why again I should care about working on Wall St.?
You don't look back at Wall St. because you didn't actually work there. You are an OWS parrot who has no idea what he is saying. You claim to have started multiple businesses, but refuse to say what those businesses do. You claim to have worked on wall street, but refuse to say what you actually did. You are nothing but talk.

If you are actually serious about what you say, what did you do on wall street, and what do your 'businesses' do now?

Quote:
6) Alcohol is a drug. So pot meet kettle. I actually believe in Ending the Drug War and treating people. So yes I believe other drugs should be decriminalized and legalized so that we can actually start treating our addiction problem. Our current path hasn't worked.

You seem to have a big problem reading what people write on forums. I fully agree that alcohol is a drug. I want it to be illegal as well. All drugs should be criminalized so that we can start treat addicts like yourself as the problem they are: addicts who do nothing but try to justify their own illness.

You want to decriminalize drugs so you have easier access to your addiction. Try to get help for your problem. Don't try to justify your illness on this forum.

It doesn't matter that some lawmaker 'used the Bible' because the Bible shouldn't be a discussion in politics.
Says anyone ignorant enough to think that politics and religion aren't interrelated.

I drink every once in a while,
You didn't say isolated events, you said every once in a while, which is NOT a far leap from regularly if you know what the expression and the word each mean.

Here is the definition of "every once in a while":

Quote:
once (or every once) in a while
phrase of once
1.
from time to time; occasionally.
synonyms: occasionally, from time to time, (every) now and then/again, every so often, on occasion, at times, sometimes, off and on, at intervals, periodically, sporadically, intermittently
If you are unaware, words like periodically and intermittently work as synonyms to the word "regularly".


Quote:

Where did I say "at any cost"? PLEASE QUOTE ME, CHAMP.

So are you saying we should use violence to stop people from ingesting alcohol? If not, relevance?

Quote:

No, this claim you just made is TOTAL CRAP. I smoked a bowl of cannabis today, NOBODY GOT HURT.


Quote:

PROVE that those losses have ANYTHING to do with ME. You simply can't.

Quote:

Weird, because you JUST said this:

Quote:
Why do you think since one drug is legalized, more should be as well?
That is a weird damn question from somebody who claims that THEY think all drugs should be legal.

Quote:
You obviously have a reading problem.

^^Ahem^^, look up... you are full of it.

Quote:
I KNOW that anyone who regularly does any drug has an addiction that needs help.
If they want it.

Quote:

I do not have a chemical addiction to ANY drug, and I am fine with smoking cannabis since all the negative propaganda about it that you guys like to spew is total nonsense according to science.

According to science, having a drink "Every once in a while" is addiction too, they told my brother that when he had to take classes after being caught with a beer at 20 years old. Why don't you work on yourself??

At the very least, you could work on not contradicting yourself on internet forums... a solid set of principles will help with that.

That is why that post contains TWO quotes from me??

It is HILARIOUS that you are judging my reading when you don't even know who you quoted. YOU go back and re-read.
