whats the obsession with antifa I find their lack of intelligence and logic entertaining. For the most part, they're completely clueless, and don't even know what they're protesting against in most instances. They're just paid protesters who provide entertainment value when questioned about their views or their motives.

lol

I love the "if they're not protesting with me, they're paid protesters!" argument. A classic.

If only they had a focused agenda - like the KKK.

Yes, they are, they're destroying lives by selling highly addictive illegal substances. Yet, you hold them in a higher regard than the people whose lives they are destroying.

So....simply because it's illegal it's bad? Welp, better stop people from having ice cream in their back pocket in Kentucky then!

I always thought you were one to question government motives, guess you're just as much of a socially conditioned lab rat like the rest of society.

> Bladder Cancer

List goes on and on about conditions that causes lives to spiral out of control over cigs.

Where's your outrage?

Again, a legal substance that when used in moderation does not destroy lives, and in many instances it has been shown that a moderate consumption of alcohol can actually have health benefits.

88k deaths from alcohol vs 35k from 2006-2010 for opioid ODs (heroin included) annually.

Where's your outrage?

Then tell me why Oxy is a C-II analgesic and Alprazolam a C-IV Psychiatric under the CDAPCA, specifically Title II of the CSA of said Act.

Where's your outrage?

Nexus Origin said :

Again, a legal product that is not being sold as a mind altering substance.

Yet they're abused much in the same vein as legal OTCs (Pseudoephedrine comes to mind here, which is used to make meth).

That source begs to differ.

Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

Same could be said for every other substance listed. Your logic is subpar at best.

I can tell you where your outrage is, but you won't like the answer. "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

So....simply because it's illegal it's bad? You must have overlooked the "highly addictive" portion of that statement. I have colored it for your benefit.

Where's your outrage? I mentioned the health affects they may have. You seem to have overlooked the important part of the statement. Again I have colored it for your benefit.

Again, you're intentionally overlooking the point I was making. When used in moderation, it can be beneficial. And alcohol is not "highly addictive". You have to drink heavily for quite some time before you will actually become physically addicted to alcohol, unlike things like heroin, which is so addictive that using it even once can cause you to become physically addicted.

Because it can become physically addictive, which is why it is only available with a doctor's prescription, and if the doctor is acting in accordance with the law, they will not prescribe it for longer than needed. Those becoming physically addicted to it and allowing their lives to spiral out of control are not getting them from their doctors, they are getting them from people illegally selling them on the streets.

You can abuse water as well to get high. That doesn't mean that people should be outraged that water is available almost everywhere. As far as pseudoephedrine is concerned, it is on most "watched" lists, and attempting to buy it in bulk amounts needed for the manufacture of methamphetamines will result in arrest.

Nick if you don't want to believe the post as is I can't make you. What I can tell you is the insidious nature of certain individuals has hijacked the left and brought it to a place where you would probably be considered very moderate. You can say conservatism is a mental disorder all you want, but it isn't conservatives who are using such phrases as

"It is OK to punch a Nazi"

which, when brought into reality, translates directly to

"It is OK to fight fascism with fascism"

I'd even go as far as to say classical liberals aren't uttering those phrases either. They are too smart to try to provoke those heavy on the constitution.

I know we disagree more than agree on social and economic issues, but I am not a nazi and you are not antifa. Don't let Soros vs Duke distract you from everyday people and their beliefs.
