My mental faculties are as good as yours dear!

Garinda is a mate of yours and I find this person to be a nasty piece of work - he knows what he's doing - you support him and his attitude you are both the same. You are people who manipulate and make personal attaccks to make your point!

I think you are nasty pieces of work - I really do. People with hangups and who use clever cynicism to people off and make personal attacks and think your being Uber cool to impress their little friend list at Accy Web! You make me feel sick you really do!!!

Unfortunately I can't have my account closed and all my posts cleared but Garinda and those who back him make me sick and never want to return here! He is a slug ... slime bag nasty little oik! FFF!

Oh dear! Here was me thinking that amphibians were simpler forms of life and had less well-developed physiological systems. Must have got that wrong, it appears I may have touched a nerve:rolleyes::D

Depends on how you have your pages set.
If you take the standard, usually 25 posts to a page, if like me you hate seeing plenty of pages of crap, set them for the max.
It dosn't seem anywhere near as bad then.

Are a person's opinions any less valid, if they aren't backed up with some direct involvement in a subject?

Do you need to have had sex with a child, before being allowed to give an opinion, or as you say, 'sound off', about paedophilia?

As stated, rather than just dipping in and out, if you take the time to read what's been posted, the vast majority have people have backed up what they think of the legality of recreational drugs, with their varied reasons as to why they hold their opinion.

My own opinion on the subject is based on experiences that are very far from 'limited'.

Not that that really matters one iota.

No of course they are still valid provided they give a reason as you say most people have done.

If you read my post I was wondering how many folks, like yourself Gary, have direct experience. You read into it that I thought their opinion was less valid.

I did not say that.

Fact is information and honest education is the only way to deal with drugs use/abuse! Telling kids they will get punished for taking drugs is not the way - because a majority will still try drugs to be rebelious! And thus you will always get people who die needlessly because of this approach!

I am one of the people who are providing the honest education you speak about.

Thank you Less, I didn't know you could do that. It's 15 on my screen.

Exactly. I haven't on this thread, as I said in an earlier post.

You're welcome, I personally dodge between maximum & minimum, if you go for 1 post per page you can pretend your own threads look more popular than they actually are.

Folk like myself?

I presume you mean people who are happy with the status quo as it is, regarding recreational drugs being illegal?

Presumably those that have posted they'd like the law changed have had some personal experience with taking illegal drugs. As I doubt many would bother arguing that recreational drugs should be made legal if they hadn't, and indeed many have already given that information as fact.

So your questioning whether the other opinions given in this thread are based on actual 'experience', rather seems like you're trying to invalidate anyone's opinion who hasn't had a direct invovement with illegal drugs, even though they are happy for recreational drugs to remain illegal.

Again, as stated already, if you read what's actually been posted, the majority of people have given reasons, as to why they think what they do on this issue.

Also using the term 'sound off', when referring to those peoples' views being aired, could be seen as both patronising, and dismissive.

Nothing to do with the thread, but please use my username, when referring to myself. Thank you.

You've used the 'dear' word again you patronising xxxxxxx person, I could be calling sexual harassment/discrimination at this point but I'll let you off on the grounds of lack of intelligence on your part sweetie!
What the hell is your problem - some people use drugs either legal or illegal some people wreck their lives as a result, some don't. Get a life and stop trying to wind other people up. Your arguments are becoming increasingly illogical, who really gives a toss about the Gallaghers
( different thread but are you trying to overtake the Accyweb with the same subject!)
If you were trying to persuade others with your pro drug legalisation argument I could understand where you are coming from, but it appears from your posts that you may have personal issues which you may need to resolve.
Please note that I am available for counselling should you feel a need at any point at no charge.
And I'm sure that Garinda doesn't need me to defend him but I'm sure he has more life experience and wisdom than you will ever have !!!!!
Please either leave the Accyweb or shut up about the drugs issue which has been done to death but people have to respond to your increasingly illogical comments. It is you keeping the threads open.
You may tell me that I have a sad life because of the amount of time I spend on this site - I am currently off work after surgery and can't wait to return to work!!!
