QuotePat Robertson might be the last person you would expect to find leading the calls for legalizing marijuana.

Yet, during a conversation about faith-based rehabilitation on Wednesday's episode of Christian talk show "The 700 Club," the conservative evangelist and media personality did just that.

"We have to take a look at what we are considering crimes," Robertson said. "I'm not exactly for the use of drugs, don't get me wrong, but I just believe that criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing possession of a few ounces of pot, that kind of thing is costing us a fortune and it's ruining young people."

I'm expecting 50 pages on this before 2011, so get cracking.

It won't take long before small amounts are legalized, after stuff like this.

Far Left and Far Right agree, I'm not surprised really.

You're a special case, Babylon.  You are offensive even when you don't post.

Ok, well not that surprising, really. Just want to do more spittakes. But it is a bit odd that he used a line of reasoning that kept with his beliefs.

  Does this mean I have to protest funerals?

Suddenly Pat Robertson makes sense. He's high. All the time. But probably never more so than when he's on tv.

Stonerfundies! Yay!

WHO WANTS AN ARGUMENT WITH ME ON PAGE SEVENTEEN?

For the BARGAIN price of one bottle of whiskey it can be YOURS.

Lies

Since I hate fundies and Christians and everything they stand for, I am now against the legalisation of pot and I for one am glad to have given it up.

- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

Your opinion on this matter is objectively wrong, I dont care what it is. Fuck you.

Now that pot is sure to be legalized I move that the people who've been bitching about it for so long start bitching about the sex trade being illegal.

I'll bitch about that, actually I do, when I get a chance, it seems to be a bit less controversial.

... So there's hope yet.

       A good excuse to keep preaching to the fundies, they'll come around eventually if they have the capacity for self correction. I just got a new computer a few weeks ago (old one broke) and have found myself with a renewed interest in introducing concepts to those who seem to reject them outright. A social forum allows a convincing argument to gain momentum due to peer pressure, no one wants to be seen as "that closed minded fool" anymore, except for some trolls. It's no longer easy to hide in a dark closet with your flock and pretend to read from a book, elaborating to justify your own warped goals.
