How We Protect At-Risk Kids.

You guys realize that you're basically giving RWHN a handjob, right?

That's what these threads are.  Handjobs for RWHN.

So is THAT what Dok was going for when he started it?


Ew.

You seemed to enjoy it regardless.

[AFK]

I dunno, I feel kinda dirty now.  I need to go get some more coffee.

That doesn't make any sense.  Alcohol is legal.  If in some magical universe it became illegal again I'd just stop using it, no big deal really. Marijuana should never be legalized.

Could I get you to elaborate on this point?

On which point?  You need to be more specific.

That tiny little nugget of content there seems like it contains most of the shit I don't understand about your logic. You cannot possibly be ignorant of the fact that alcohol is more addictive, more toxic, and leads to more aggressive and dangerous behaviors than pot. If you accept that alcohol can be used in moderation by adults in safe settings (which you do, because you drink in moderation yourself), then why is pot magically in another category simply because of legislation? If the law is the only determining factor in what you will and will not do (as you have implied by saying you would stop drinking entirely if it became illegal) why would pot still be evil if it were legalized? How can you sit there saying pot is bad and beer is okay in moderation when you have literally no science to back that up and tons of science that says clearly that alcohol is worse for you than an illegal substance that was most likely improperly categorized? It's not like we've never made mistakes before in categorizing things.

I was going to try to type out a sarcastic explanation of RWHN's "logic" here, but I realize now that it's futile to try. There's nothing I can say that would be more comically illogical or morally perverse than RWHN's actual position on the subject.

Read the Principia Discordia again.  The answer lies within.

So, RWHN, next time I give you shit about not responding to me? This is why. You smarmy fuck.

In other words, "You got me there, but rather admit to it, go read this book that has nothing to do with the conversation at hand."

That's what this fucker does. Refuses to acknowledge questions as long as he can and then refuses to answer. Because he can't admit that he's just fucking wrong.

[AFK]

No, the answer is actually there.  Pages 49 and 50 might shed some light.

You could just fucking tell us yourself.

[AFK]

Sorry, I have a speech to write and a retirement party to repare for.  Maybe tomorrow.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Uh-huh.

P 49

...spake the Bhudda "I'm a dull fucker, why do you people keep wasting my time"

P50

... And the decree went forth that it was much more important to slap the village idiot than to bother with someone who is actually capable of communication

Shit, he's right this time.

Well, he won't state whether or not he feels that alcohol should be banned, only that the lobbyists (rather than history) make that an unlikely scenario.

The word is impossible.  It's a non-starter, not even worth consideration for discussion.

Because acknowledging that would force him to say that either his once a month beer night is illegal or conversely that marijuana should be legalized. His one, maybe two, coffee a day addiction might be lost in some legal limbo there.

That doesn't make any sense.  Alcohol is legal.  If in some magical universe it became illegal again I'd just stop using it, no big deal really. Marijuana should never be legalized.

So if your government decided to criminalize something that you enjoy responsibly you'd just be OK with that?

Wow, you're a real piece of work.
