Drugs and the people who use them

[Lance]

Yes I did say that I would not change my mind no matter what about Marijuana being legalized. Why should I if I am convinced that it is wrong?

But you said you wouldn't change your mind EVEN if you became convinced it were right.

What is happening here is that you guys seem to get annoyed by the fact that I do not believe that it should be legalized and seem to want me to accept that it should.

No, we are getting annoyed at your lack of debating skills and logic.

I say again I can't because I have not been convinced that it would be beneficial.......

But you said it wouldn't matter, even if you were.

(emphasis mine)

Actually, I'm willing to let her go on the debating skills. I've had some pretty *bad* arguments lately (on and offline) where I don't use many good debating skills.

It's the lack-of-logic part that gets me.

It's the lack-of-logic part that gets me.

It's the "I'm right even if I'm wrong" statements that get me.

Does the subject of this thread mean that the discussion is about people who use drugs, or by people who use drugs?

[Diana30]

cause a debate shouldn't be a one-way street? You won't hear our points, and you expect us to hear yours? That's preaching. I do not like being preached to.

Why do you say I am not hearing your points? Because I am not convinced? So, should I say you are not hearing mine because you are not convinced?...

*sigh*

Do you really think that's why we're annoyed? I know that I'm annoyed because of your, "I cannot be convinced, so I just wasted your time" attitude.

You see your annoyed because I am not convinced of what you are saying. No it is not I wasted your time thing. I read everyone of the post that you all posted and I am not yet convinced so is there something wrong that I am not convinced just as you are not either?

Come back when you're actually willing to debate, why don't you?

Or when you are ready to be convinced that not all people are going to think the same. And that we all have are opinion and sometmes no matter how much debate there is on a the topic the person is not always going to come out convinced just because that is the way you want it...... :wink:

Good question.

I have the occasional beer probably once a month or less on average and that's about it. Pot? Not for decades and only a few times then. I just never liked it. I don't understand why people would actually want to feel that way. Bleh!

[Lonewulf]

Why do you say I am not hearing your points? Because I am not convinced? So, should I say you are not hearing mine because you are not convinced?...

You missed a part. I actually responded to your points. You did not respond to the majority of mine. You did not even put up a counter argument to my 7 reasons for decriminalizing Marijuana, as well as a bulk of the argument.

Sorry if that makes you seem just a little mindlessly stubborn.

You see your annoyed because I am not convinced of what you are saying. No it is not I wasted your time thing. I read everyone of the post that you all posted and I am not yet convinced so is there something wrong that I am not convinced just as you are not either?

You pretty much said that you wouldn't be convinced, no matter what, so...

Anyways, gotta go home and then do some fighting in the SCA.

[Diana30]

But you said you wouldn't change your mind EVEN if you became convinced it were right.

Where did I say that at?

No, we are getting annoyed at your lack of debating skills and logic.

If you call lack of because you cannot convince a person or because the person does not use all kinds of spiffy words like you do, then I think you have a lack of something else.

But you said it wouldn't matter, even if you were.

Again where did I say that? You are putting something in I did not even say.

Backpeddling...

Nice.

I will always be against Marijuana being legalized. No matter what.

Of course, the other option is that you simply did not understand what you were trying to say. Was that it?

[Diana30]

Nope sorry, I have never used drugs and never will...... :wink:



Diana

[Lance]

Is someone trying to make you?

<That tactic is called changing the subject when backed into a corner.>

[Diana30]

Backpeddling...

Nice.

I again say, yes I did say that I was not going to be convinced no matter what. But following that I gave my reason why. I said because "I do not see nothing beneficial in it".

Of course, the other option is that you simply did not understand what you were trying to say. Was that it?

Okay, I am done participating in a thread where the best argument you have is "I know you are but what am I?"

This post was not for you..... :wink: Look back at Khrushchev's post. And besides I posted this after the post with the pills in it, just that it did not get in until after yours......... :wink:

LMAO, that was funny! OMG, you guys are incredibly entertaining.

Man, this is such a stupid discussion. This is like arguing with William Thompson.

Now you KNOW that is not possible.

[Halcyon Dayz, FCD]

I just don't see nothing beneficial in having it legalized.

Am I to understand from this statement, that activities have to be proven beneficial, never mind not harmful, before free citizens of a free nation can indulge in it?

Who made you the guardian of me?

Diana was shown some benefits. She chose to ignore them.

Her "I just don't see nothing" translates to "I am blind to the fact that"...

Lonewulf quite making me laugh...I mean I have never laughed so much in my life before.....



So, the discussion is stupid, but you are still in it...... :wink:

Sure I am, miss "I'm leaving this discussion".

You know, I think I'll indulge in this, and match the maturity this discussion has reached.

"I know you are, but what am I?"
