I've noticed it, and asked a couple others to see if I was just being jaded.The influx of retarded members isn't helping.
Maybe I'm just noticing them more with all the regular posters gone.
Click the little triangle with the exclamation point. When it belongs in Politics, put that in the reason. If it's hate speech, racism, illegal activities, or in any way attempting to distribute drugs, report that. They violate TOS. The post will be deleted, assholes will be drop-kicked back to /b/ and the board will get more productive.My thoughts too. I think political bleed over is killing us. Nobody likes them - so they're used to this. Thriving now I think.
Please use report. I see "questionable" posts in my section, I'd love to delete 'em, but I need a report for some of them. Same is true in TnT. Mods aren't gods, can't delete everything. We NEED to have a reason. If it's reported we have a reason. We look at it, and moderate it according to the TOS.Yup. It's been fun while it lasted. As the politics spill in and the racists become more apparent and the heroin lovers see no harm in distributing a painfully addictive substance to the mentally ill this place becomes something I don't really want to be apart of.
Junk It Up everyone
It appears that the idiots are still in the minority -- but they've mastered "vocal majority."yeah the idiots are there... but normal Decent members mask the smell of the idiots..
The junk conversations started before that dude killed himself. This is a Medical Marijuana forum (originally, it's evolved as the laws on pot have evolved.) A lot of us use MMJ for pain, because we know the road that opiates (the LEGAL ones) lead down.I don't think the latter conversations have been offensive. I think they were an offshoot of Philip Seymour Hoffman's death. They stand out more in light of the fact that normal topics and interesting posts are few and far between.
Maybe a good time for a sabbatical. I get the feeling that banging my head against the wall here might effect my long term experience. Not meaning to seem over dramatic, but the experience has suffered more than I would have ever guessed.
Talking about heroin should be done on a junkies forum, not a medical marijuana forum. Even in a place like "Toke-n-Talk."
Annie, I'll agree that we legalize all drugs, because it takes away the fascination and stigmata attached. But, I'll need a couple stipulations. You see, others have "urges" that are medically documented, and cannot be controlled. In legalizing all drugs (since we'll be giving a carte blanche license to poison yourself) we MUST also legalize all "impulse" crimes. We'll restrict it only to the junkies and tweakers, that way the problem will be self-policing and self-correcting.And that is why the DSM should not be shared with the masses, le sigh.
The sheer hubris of thinking prohibition on cannabis is bad but prohibition on something else is good tells me precisely why we won't make Kardashev 1.
Let me see if I can explain this. If you tell an adolescent child, still thinking in mostly in concrete operations, they can't have something what do they do? RIGHT!! That's a lot of my point.
One more try how did prohibition on Alcohol work? Remember the Vollstead act?
Prohibition is a failed public health concept. Addiction is a public health issue not a criminal one. Criminal acts from whatever causal factor belong in the legal system but not the simple act of addiction. We need to stop creating new prison classes or else when they come for you YOU will stand alone!
This is artificial class creation for the money makers and no one seems to see beyond their own personal issues and THAT is what *they* are counting upon.
For anyone that doesn't believe this. I beg you to read this, "Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent" by Harvey Silverglate an activist, federal bar enrolled, constitutional scholar. This isn't annie being a wingnut folks this is how they are rolling all of us up.
I care kinetic, that's the problem, I care about the humans and their condition. I am cursed. I am Cassandra.
There's a very real difference between making a pharmaceutical (heroin) illegal and making a plant (marijuana, or even opium producing poppies) illegal. There ARE things that people shouldn't have. I don't think that my old neighbors should be allowed to stockpile Uranium and Plutonium. I don't think people should have access to methamphetamine, heroin, crack, cocaine, etc. Although I agree on personal freedom, and the unfairness of restricting it, I also think that if we will restrict freedoms due to direct interference with other's rights (crimes like assault, rape, robbery, murder) than we should also restrict freedoms based on serious indirect interference with other's rights.
