Things are shaping up for the end of times. I think this generation will not pass without all these things coming true.

Edwin, I was speaking with my neighbor Lola today and I quoted you, and she said the tax burden on small businesses is no worse than it was under Bush. I know she is just spouting liberal claptrap from MSNBC and the left wing media, plus her daughter had a baby out of wedlock, so this is the...

"Poe's law"? I just read the newspapers. The Sabotage Question If one guy doesn't hire, sure, no macroeconomic effect. But everybody stops hiring, then it WILL have a macroeconomic effect. (And I disagree that if We-Ship-It doesn't hire, it loses sales. It might lose customer service, but...

It is also possible that the view of the employer is this: If I start hiring, then people will think that Obama improved things in this country. Then he might get re-elected. I will happily hire someone, but only after he loses the election. It is more important for Obama to lose than to...

Hmmm. If I didn't know any better, I might think that you were angry with your wife and you considered divorce. You know God hates divorce so you come here seeking some sort of permission and justifying your reason as "then I could marry a Christian and help my faith grow." After all, wifey...

I know this was pretty much Christ's message. If you went to Him with any kind of illness, I recall he responded "You know, I got Myself taken care of, you are on your own. If I cure you, you'll just go get leprosy again." I recall that somewhere in the Gospels. I'll have to look up...

You slam all Christians and then call me "borderline racist"?... Coffee is not the same a pot. Even I know that. Happy to do so. Where do I sign? I'll bring the tea. This idiot got fired for saying LSD was less dangerous than beer. He was wrong and everybody knew it. How does that make...

I agree with you that not every druggie becomes an addict. Sadly, you refuse to consider that drugs could possibly lead to addiction, nor that they can lead people to do things they would not ordinarily do. They are illegal for a reason. There is nothing "unrealistic" or "delusional" about...

It is a statement in imperative mood. But whether it is or isn't is not important here. You have no argument for legalizing drugs other than whiny bellyaching, so now you want to pick grammar hairs. Who cares? It's not a crackpot source. It is a local newspaper article about a speech given...

I don't owe you an argument. It was an answer to a question. Do I recognize that not everyone who uses drugs magically becomes a addict? Yes, I recognize that. But doesn't mean we should legalize them all. I don't care that some people can shoot LSD without becoming an addict. It is a sin and...

No, but the state does. And does. And thank God. But I will pray for you. I'll help you recognize him. Here's his picture.

1. Yes. 2. Yes, if I could but I understand I would never get that passed. 3. Yes, but it makes no difference to me.

Poe is your answer to everything. I know the Bible--all of it, not just he fluffy parts--and I believe it so it must be Poe. The social cost of addiction is set out here. Costs of Addiction - Financial Consequences of Substance Abuse and here: Economy of Addiction, drug abuse, societal...

That logic is flawed, not mine. The fact that they ban drugs (correctly) does not mean that banning Christianity is also wrong. Basically your view is "Hey, they ban Christianity, which is bad, so banning drugs is also bad." Nonsense. They ban murder too, which is an appropriate social...

Well maybe not that, but..... .... is kind of what I was thinking. (Note that they tend to hang in those nations, not shoot). I believe the pro-druggies on this thread have argued again and again that use of drugs does not necessarily equal addition, or even lead to it, and that drug users...

My point, better expressed.

Perhaps I got carried away, and I retract the strong words. But I believe the first part of the message is valid. Sis puts her fingers in this wound because she knows it hurts. The OP should simply know that this wound is closed now and express this to her sister. Perhaps ending it there is...

This is not a question of your sister "forgiving" you. Your sister knows that you feel guilty about your actions and merely exploits that guilt for her own ends, either to obtain something from you or out of simply jealousy and cruelty. Your admission to her that the dog issue is a sore...

So I made a mistake and was reading too fast. Sue me. It doesn't negate the argument that drugs are bad. And there are plenty of rational reasons it is illegal besides the religious arguments.

For example: from Southeast Asia Travel Guide - Guide to Southeast Asia Travel Indonesian drug laws prescribe the death penalty for narcotics trafficking and up 20 years in prison for marijuana offenses. Simple possession results in prison terms of one to five years. The country has recently...
