slugshooter Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 I did some researching today about the Libertarian Party and I seem to like what I read. I don't agree with everything per se, mainly, they advocate the legalization of drugs, mainly under the pretense of if you make them illegal then that will effectively end the drug trade. That doesn't mean I want legal crackheads running around, but hey, the excitement of drinking did lose a lot of it's luster once I was legally able to buy it myself. The way I see it, I don't necessarily agree with everything the two major parties have on their platforms, who does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterDWL Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: You fellers prayers might get answered..... i dont agree with it either and a crack heads even if it was legale they would still be a problem the drugs would just be cheaper if they were legale and the addicts wouldnt have to stell as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there is definitely a problem with drugs in this country I am just not so sure making them legal is really the right answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETMGROW Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Re: You fellers prayers might get answered..... So, we give drugs out in limited quantities. Great! Now someone gets hooked, we don't give him or her enough, so they commit more crimes so they can support their increasing need. Isn't that just wonderful. And here they are driving to their local mission to pick up their free daily allotment. On the way home they get hijacked, shot and some druggie gets an additional supply. Or, they pick it up, take it to a school child and sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ QUOTE ] people are generally stupid and need protection from themselves... but thats just my standpoint. [/ QUOTE ] Oh yeah I can see it now! Instead of having a few hundred idiots running around a city all stoned up, make it legal, then you will have a few thousand running around killing people! By driving their cars, making bad judgements, and whatever else impairs their thoughts! I never understood why some idiot wanted to make drugs legal. They say by doing so would make it cheaper! Yeah but health care costs would go through the ROOF with all the overdoses!!! Then all the LIBS and DEMS would be crying about the health care costs! BAD IDEA!!! TOTALLY AGAINST THIS!!! Anybody ever see what happens when pure heroine gets kicked on the street? I did, spent 10 years running on an ambulance in my town! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was kind of under the impression sluggo was insenuating that our "prayers" as he put it were in reference to him leaning away from the democratic party.
