I wouldn't throw too much effort into this conversation.

She's the one that wanted a death penalty for all rapists.

Who, me? I have NEVER advocated the death penalty. Ever.

Someone hit the nail on the head earlier: true and total decriminalization *would* solve a lot of the problems because it would take the stigma and misinformation out of the whole issue.

In a world where you could get cheap. legal, unadulterated MDMA, why would anyone want to take heroin? That would be the same as walking into a clinic and asking the doctor to give you a shot to make you into an insulin-dependant diabetic for the rest of your life.

"Lose my sight, destroy my liver and watch my feet rot off just to feel a little sleepy once in awhile? Where do I sign up?!?"

Also: Americans are lazy. They're not going to build a meth lab in their kitchen if they can get cheap stuff from the Mexicans who truck it in every Monday and Thursday. I won't lie: Meth heads are effed-up. Meth really does to you what the propaganda fear-machine told you crack and coke did in the 80's. It's a scary substance.

But no one believes the propaganda machine anymore, even when they're telling the truth...which they usually aren't. They haven't learned a goddamned thing. I'll prove it:

The next time you hear or read a story about some "ecstasy bust" or "ecstasy drug ring," I want you to listen carefully for the following earworm/catchphrase/viral propaganda: "Meth-like substance."

Let me tell you the truth here: It's true that MDMA has a similar chemical structure to Methamphetamine. The two are nothing alike, however. To say that MDMA is a "meth-like substance" is the equivalent of saying Helium is a "Propane-like substance."

The current "Zero Meth" campaign is designed to create panic over a legitimately scary substance. The WHOLE ENTIRETY of the rest of the "War on Drugs" must now piggyback on this panic. Otherwise; how do you justify spending billions and billions and billions of other people's dollars on a war that the current generation is now getting hip to? Oh, not to them, in the current totalitarian climate, they don't have to justify anything to us. No, no. All they have to do is declare a state of public emergency. We, The People...We suspected terrorists are too stupid, too...untrustworthy to do what's good for us. So they make it an act of "homegrown terrorism" and insert it into the Patriot Act.

And in th meantime, you know what those billions of dollars are doing? They are paying for bigger, more unwieldy government, more inventive ways for them to strip everyone of the divine right to live unaccounted for by another fallible human entity, and they are making the violent drug cartels rich. Simple stock-market logic: For every dollar we spend on the "Drug war," that's one dollar's-worth more "demand" for violent evasion tactics we've created in in the market. For every dollar spent on government "identification" technology aimed at making every human entity completely transparent to a secretive few, that's two or three dollars more spent on technology and bribery and violent tactics to get the shipments in.

I could go on and on.

The tinfoil-hat people were right.

(And I am just futilely rattling the bars of my cage.)

Then consider the junkies who "legally" OD.  Same burden on society as the above.

Yeah, so what?  That's what tax money is for.

Fat people die all the time too, you think being fat should be illegal?

That's what the "War On Drugs" money should be used for.

...is that we need drugs...because this fucking country has become such a goddamned prison that drugs are the only thing that makes the fucking pain and humiliation of being utterly, utterly dominated go away.

And we imprison each other.

Every fucking time you judge some body; every time you say "He should be locked up" or "They should STOP those people from getting away with___" about anyone who isn't a murderer or a rapist...anyone who DARES live their own fucking life in a manner in which you do not approve...you are adding a link to the chain.

Every time you beat someone over the head for their "naive" ideals. Every time you laugh and point. Every time you tell someone to "get in line, this is how it's done" or "Just take your shoes and belt off and stop making a fuss," you are feeding the monster.

Fuck you.

It's none of your goddamned business what I eat. It shouldn't matter if it's pills or booze or fucking crack if that's what I want. This is MY fucking world too. Shut up, put the cheesecake fork down, turn off Oprah and mind your own goddamned business, bitch. Or better yet; feed your fucking ASPCA cats and pretend you're a good person because you care more about the fucking animals than you have empathy for your own kind.

Traitor.

Fungus.

The apes would have EATEN you, you iPod whore.

^^^Wants to touch my boobies fer sure.

Uh, the last couple of posters must be having problems with the concept of resurrection.

If a thread is on the FIRST PAGE, then it is not DEAD.

Goddamnit. 

Hey, you people fuckin asked for it. Besides, you don't need to be cold to be dead. This thread was dead before it left the gate.

I love the level of irony derived by the idea of performing oral sex on someone while that plays in the background.

Ring, ring, ring!

Someone pick it up!

 

Best music for sex?

The Berzerker.

"My love for you is like a truck
BERZERKER!
Would you like to making fuck?
BERZERKER!"

^^^thx.

Furries scare me.  They're like big perverted clowns.

And in one line, the n00b wraps up what took me seven paragraphs to say.
(Out of the mouthes of babes...)

Welcome, Fred.

nah, it's cool. I know how you meant it, and I grew up in an area where the ghetto kids said "nigga" no matter what color they were...

Same here.

But if you put on a tail, you open yourself up for all kinds of abuse.

I think that truth applies to a most things in life. Heh.

It's not just the tail though...it's the WAY they wear that fur shit. (*shudder*)

On one hand, I saw a girl at a party wearing mouse ears and a tail, and she spent the night curled up with her BF in a corner. Okay, np.

Then, there's these nuts who cut out fur pasties and loincloths, then show up at the cons with the whole she-bang: paws, ears, tail, etc and sniff each other's butts n shit out in the open while yr just looking through RPGs or trying to shuffle yr way to the Harlan Ellison book-signing.

I'm talking full, butt-sniff action going...and they're giggling...and pawing at each other. It's more sickening than my college, ren-fair boyfriends who kissed my hand and called me "M' lady."

Huzzah.

My take on the furry thing is that it's no different than anything else sexually oriented: Keep it in the bedroom.

That's it. It's a free world, but no one wants to see it...especially not around people's kids who might innocently mistake them for something...else. Because really; who else do you expect to attract when you put on a giant, fuzzy cartoon-y animal suit?

Aaaand there's where your kreep factor comes from, ladies n gents. No one normal grows up watching Sesame Street and later decides he/she wants to do dirty things with Grover. Or Chuk E. Cheese. Or the characters in Disney's Robin Hood. Because those characters are supposed to attract visions of innocence, not visions of two sick fucks going at it doggy-style through two well-placed holes in their suits.

Navkat, I like you so far, so I'm gonna say this as nicely as I've EVER said it to anyone on these boards:

PLEASE stop using the word "nigga".

TIA.

I wasn't really sure how to respond to this at first. I guess the best way is with candor and respect.

I use that word in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Words (to me) are words, and their power lies mainly in the way they are used. I use that word laughingly for humour value, yes but there's another reason: by making fun, I refuse to give that word power in a derogatory sense.

Like whistling in the dark.

I'm sorry if my use of that word hurt or offended you in any way.
I will do my best to censor it from my writing around you from now on if that's really what you want...because you asked me nicely and I respect you and that's what people who respect each other do. I won't go to war with you over that principle because I don't have to stand in your shoes and I don't have to feel what you feel.

I just wanted you to know where *I* stand.
