FDD, I surely did not mean to state that you got no worries. Christ, I'd have attack dogs, a MAC 10, and still sleep in a tent with all that in my back yard. Like I said, I am TOTALLY jealous. And I didn't mean to imply that you wouldn't do anything
BUT defend you and yours. Maybe I went about explaining it wrong, but the point of that post was that once you get above a certain level (no longer slinging OZs) it can and often does get hairy, and not just everyone has what it takes to be able to protect their shit at any cost. Alot of people THINK they can, but end up on a slab.
Yeah, it isn't worth it though that was just how to if you gunna have to for what its worth which is what my word is, which aint much to you.
<SNIP>
PLUS its morally wrong and ethically degrading. Not to mention your image will be shattered. And the probablity of going to jail is extremely high.
THAT is offensive, expecting others to follow your moral beliefs. HUGE difference between personal morals and basic human integrity.
you say that other people should be responsible for their own actions. but if ur a drug dealer, then you should also be responsible for your actions.
if some chick is getting high instead of taking care of her kids... after you provided her with a drug, then i would also hold you responsible for the damage done to those children.
if a bartender refuses to serve someone, then he's a good bartender. the guys probably already WAY to drunk and this bartender is being morally responsible. is it HIS fault if some drunk he serves goes down the road and kills someon in a automobile accident? Yer damn right it is.
"No, people shouldn't smoke crack or sell crack, but they do. It's up to the individual to have the brains and morality to stay away from it."
That was pretty much my point dude.
DaGambler, I didn't think we were this far apart. Selling a product, no matter what that product is, is just business. Some businessmen have ethics, some dont.
The only damage to "the moral fabric of our society" I can see that comes from selling pot is that all too many people will spend thier entire paycheck on a sack of dope. They will buy dope when thier kids need shoes. I have seen it. But that is NOT the dealers fault. It's a core defect in that person. Now I personally would cut dude off, and tell him to take care of the kids, but thats just me. And I
AM morally bankrupt by todays standards.
And as far as the bartender being resposible for a vehicular death by serving,thats really not a fair example. Serving a drunk is one thing, allowing him/her to drive after drinking is another. Would you hold a car dealership or the car manufacturer resposible for selling a car to a habitual drunk driver? It would amount to the same thing. There are all kinds of "what if" scenarios and we could debate them forever. The bottom line is that if we made all of the dangerous things in life illegal, we'd be better of in a "Matrix" type of world.
Misshestermoffit hit the nail...People need to start taking responsibility for their own actions. The courts should
NOT reward stupidity. We are upsetting the natural order of the world by doing so. People taking themselves out thru stupidity is all a part of natural selection. Survival of the fittest, making mankind better, stronger, and smarter by elimination. If we keep making this world a safer place for the weaker, less intelligent people, no one will die, and we are gonna get to the point that the earth cannot sustain the population (If we aren't already there) I can already see an "Idiocracy" kind of society starting to show through. People are getting dumber. And we'll be there to pick up the pieces.
Let nature take its course.
Before anyone says it, yeah, i'm fucked up. It's a cold world, but thats reality.
