It seems like everyone here wants to be offended.
So far in the 3 main threads I've interacted in the 3 sentences that have caused me the most grief are:
I think people deserve personal liberties, which includes an indiviuals choice of what they put into their own body.
I have read several journals and papers on Global warming and took time to research it.
I would like you to source your cliams.
These three sentences turned into storms because instead of people asking for clarification, they turned it into chances to take jabs at me or assume my entire personal out look.
Why can't you guys simply put down your swords and ask for clarification? It seems this is a forum filled with wanabe victims, rather than people wanting to have discussions.
It's because you are abrasive in tone. I am an empath and can tell where a person is coming from. And I'll bet the same with your personal life has dramas, too, and you are probably wondering why the whole world is nuts. I think there's a subconscious reason why you chosen your handle to reflect you. :D
But I can brush that all aside and forget and back to the subject I gave several references. Are they mainline? No. of course not. But if someone was an atheist and asked me to prove something about God, I would not rely on the atheists to prove my point. I would use theologians.
Same way with health. There's the drugged up medical way, and there's natural way each side has their experts, and I gave a small sample of the myriads who say what I did.
As for the illegal drugs you are talking about, as a Libertarian, I was attempting to say I agree with your premise before this drama somehow unfolded to my surprise. Tobacco, pot, etc are natural, but even natural things have a limit. For those who smoke, for example, should use natural tobacco and not the factory-made stuff with all the junk added. Think of the native Americans. They smoked and you did not hear about lung cancer. But then again, they did not puff on a peace pipe every five minutes like some people do cigarettes. They did so more in moderation. The same can be said of pot, alcohol, opiates such as poppy or whatever.
Then, as for the medicines out today, even mainline news articles are quoting (see above) about the dangers of some drugs and the cure is worse for the health than the malady. I rather smoke pot, drink alcohol, smoke tobacco, or load up on poppy seeds sooner than take that fabricated stuff ---- it's not natural is my point---- it's reversed, they outlaw the natural stuff and try to push the synthetic.
