Re: sometimes you got to just laugh


I've see you post a lot of opinions, Philer, but few if any facts. There is a difference between the two you know...or do you?

Realizing that our black market for narcotics is getting people killed has nothing to do with arrogance. It's simply recognizing an obvious fact.

Believing that heroin users need to be harassed by the police for their sins has nothing to do with reality or facts but there might be some arrogance involved in that.

No but your blithe assumption that your opinions have the weight of fact without your having to produce any concrete evidence of proof to substantiate them. Saying it's so doesn't make it so. The claim that it does is arrogant.

On the subject of drug use... illegal drugs are dangerous. The main reason is that they are illegal and thus distribution is reserved for crooks. Personally I think the sale of cocaine and opiates should be strongly regulated but otherwise not illegal. The various forms of amphetamine ought to be strictly controlled. Marijuana should be legalised completely.

Example? I don't merely assume that my opinions qualify as facts. They are based on my own careful and often extensive look at the subject. I almost always try to provide an explanation of why I have a particular opinion. And if I don't I can provide one.

I don't see much point in only presenting what other people have to say on some subject. Looking to sources to provide facts is a questionable thing to do. Sources on the internet can be just as wrong as any commenter on a message board.

The problem is what you call "extensive" is by books not by experience. Looking at "sources" and providing them is someone elses opinion, not yours and life experiences wins, hands down.

I don't discount experience, katie, but books can tell us a thing or two about narcotics and their side effects. Certainly they tend to do a better job of informing us about the nature of narcotics than the mass media does.

Nothing funny here for days.
It is depression, in point of fact.
Does anyone else feel as if we and TPG is being disrespected ?
