Being against drugs does not make you brainwashed.

Being against legalization of drugs does make you brainwashed.

Being against drug users does makes you an asshole.

I'm glad we agree on some things G-Dog. Just because someone has a dangerous interest (although many drugs are in fact quite benign), doesn't make them a bad person, otherwise participants in most sports would be bad people.

I'm happy to know that we've found some common ground, just curious, whats your drug of choice?

It really is propaganda.

Their emotional response is not a typical response to something they don't like.

I don't like football, but even though it can hurt people who play it, I couldn't care less.

With drugs, it can hurt the people who use the, but people seem to want to have a lot of control over those people.

It's all brainwashing.

I don't like football, but even though it can hurt people who play it, I couldn't care less.

Funny you mention that.

Way back in the day I was a journalist for my schools newspaper. At one point I did an article about why marijuana should be legalized, and in part of my argument I compared marijuana use (at school and in the world) to football (at school and in the world) in terms of the danger it poses to the participant. I forget the exact figures, but I concluded that playing football for our school was several hundred times more dangerous than smoking weed, and playing football professionally was several thousand times more dangerous.

And then I made the point that you don't see me bitching about an activity that I don't like even though it hurts a lot of people, so why are you all bitching about an activity you don't like that hurts nobody?
