Posted: 12/11/2004 3:37:15 PM | i saw that, too. (damm) funny stuff - well, to some (with a sense of humor & who "get it").
i don't think the point was - does alcohol kill more people than drugs. alcohol obviously kills more people cuz it's out there so much more (& this is "legal" death, too). it was just that someone said they thought alcohol was more dangerous than any illegal drunk & some begged to differ.
over use (abuse) of either doesn't turn out too great for anyone involved, but it's something most people have to learn for themselves, or not.
on a related subject: isn't it amazing how "society norms/thinking" change so much in a relatively short period of time? i can remember 15 years ago, country taverns used to serve people "one for the road" all the time. | |

Posted: 12/11/2004 3:50:04 PM | | Yeah, the times they are a changing.... Drastically... THough, I am still hung on the whole drinking and driving... It USED to be that most had a drink or two and that was it... The real issue is getting totally swished then thinking that even though you are incapable of forming to coherent words, walking a straight line or other simple tasks that you can successfully navigate and pilot 2000lbs plus of steel... not real bright... | |

Posted: 12/11/2004 4:07:34 PM | Dragon: I like your posts. I wasn't dissing you back then. It was the post before that. I guess we were typing at the same time.
I started this string to see what folks had to say about the "drug thing" in the profile. I wasn't looking on a discourse of the evils of substance abuse or what some boast in public about doing while abusing said substances.

As I always say, to each their own as long as nobody gets hurt. | |

Posted: 12/11/2004 4:31:42 PM | | RandyYeo - No harm, thank you for liking my posts... I was simply attempting to keep things lite... since they seemed to be taking a dark turn... unfortunately, the liveliest subjects are the ones that take unanticipated turns... I just took exception to what was said... I probably should have ignored it, but it rankled a bit... my apologies... | |

Posted: 12/11/2004 4:57:33 PM | Again, it wasn't you. It was the guy who got all drunked up and took on a guys in a bar then the cops. I just can't figure out that attitude, let alone why one would choose to post in in a public forum.
No apologies needed. You sound like a good guy; the kind of guy it would be a pleasure to sit down with and chew the fat. | |

Posted: 12/11/2004 7:28:09 PM | I am no pro on alcoholism but it is my belief that it only assists what is inside to come out. I have done my fair share of drinking and them some. Never have I felt the need to strike another person.
Glad to hear you are sober. I hope life is better through clear eyes. | |

Posted: 12/11/2004 7:49:43 PM | I do not do illegal drugs - and I stand firmly against them, however, I do not see marijuana as a "drug." I believe it should be legallized in the US. It is already legal here in Arizona by prescription for asthmatics. It's an herb. Nonetheless, I do not want to be with someone that makes a habit out of smoking pot. I do not smoke pot, but am not against it specifically for the benefits it provides as a treatment for cancer, asthma, etc.
Will I pass up someone who puts in their profile "yes"---absolutely. If someone has "Prefer not to say"---I ask. If someone smokes pot once or twice a year socially, big-whoop-dee-doo. I rather ask than assume. Those that drink more than socially, 3+ times a week...I will pass up. | |

Posted: 12/11/2004 8:13:34 PM | well - there's a joke that goes around up north here (& dragon, you must know about wisconsin) - it's about a guy getting in his car & driving, using the excuse - "well, i sure as hell couldn't walk!"
only it's not really a joke. so times, they aren't a changin' for everyone. | |
