Legalize ALL Drugs. Yes or No?
by SpannerintheWorks ini thought it would be interesting to get a cross-sectional view of your opinions on whether all drugs (lsd, heroin, cocaine, etc.
be legalized so that they then became freely available to the general population, in the same way that alcohol and tobacco are .

I seem to have entered some sort of alternate universe in which I find myself agreeing with everything crazy151 is saying.

You're all being idiots. No argument for or against legalization based on safety, crime, expense, etc. has any validity. The only question to be decided is - who has the right to decide what a person is allowed do with his/her own brain chemistry. Answer: only that person. If said person then commits a crime while said chemistry is altered - punish that crime. But EVERY adult has the right to decide for themselves what they will do with their own brain chemistry, including the right to do really stupid things with it that don't hurt other people. Any other response is just an attempt to impose your morality on others.
No one on this planet has any right to tell me what to do with my brain or body, so long as I am not harming others.

Leadership Change in WTS?
by metatron ini've written about this before but recent events bring it up again.. is the watchtower attempting to 'decouple' the identity of the 'faithful and discreet'.
slave from the pretense of being 'anointed'?.
basically, this would mean that whoever is in charge is collectively the 'faithful'.

Alan mentions Jaracz's true believer fanaticism... is there any useful speculation about the rest of the GB, and other top men? How wide and deep is the cynicism?

To say that I'm "America bashing" is in itself pejorative. It implies that disagreeing with this administrations views is akin to being a traitor.
America can be and should be great in peace. Give the low level of proven threat from Iraq, many options remain (I for one don't absolutely rule out military force - I just don't see that it is now warranted).
One question not yet answered by Bush supporters on this thread is, why Iraq? Why not N. Korea, or Saudi Arabia, or Libya? If WMDs includes bio-warfare agents, lots of countries would qualify. Small Pox and Anthrax is hardly expensive or high tech. Why not, for that matter, Israel? They've been convicted of spying on the US, and they have nuclear arms.
I've seen the argument made that Saddam should be removed because he is a tyrant that abuses his own people. I could actually buy that, but again - why Iraq? Lots of oil free countries abuse their people; we seem to tolerate them. We stood by as the Khmer Rouge killed their countryment, why is Iraq now so pressing?
Here's another question: if our enemy is Osama, why aren't we going after Saudi Arabia? His funds, his backers, and the actual bombers came from that country, not Iraq.
Finally, how are we going to be safer by means of this war? Will terrorism increase or decrease?

And you bleeding-heart fuckwits who think he needs some sort of "chance" can go to rot in your liberal hell and reap your liberal nonsense as a consequence.
First you set up a strawman, then you attack it with an obscene appeal to your authority. Sometimes you're clever, Farkel, but this is hateful and stupid. Try it on Rush Limbaugh.

I love the alternatives he presented. Oh wait, he didn't. It was simply your basic bash the USA type of crap that most of us here could care less about.
Can you not read? The alternative to war is to not go to war. When did war become our only option?
His other main point is: why Iraq? Any argument made to support war against Iraq would apply to Saudi Arabia as well... but we already control their oil. No Iraqi nationals were involved in 9/11, no link has been shown between Iraq and Al Qaeda, inspectors have found no evidence of WMDs (if Bush is so sure they exist, why can't he tip inspectors to their whereabouts?)
I love America - and I strongly oppose the policies of this illegitimate president. If you call me a U.S. basher you can kiss my rear end. Like the man said - Peace is also patriotic.
