So... Is It Okay to Talk About Now?

[url=http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/08/us/politics/marijuana-laws-eased-in-colorado-and-washington.html?_r=0]Because if you live in Colorado, it's not illegal.[/url] Only reason I ask, is due to people I know who were banned by moderators for mentioning it. Don't be brash and rush in saying no. Have an open mind. Are we allowed to discuss the subject matters on the forums as regular conversation pieces now? If this works well in Colorado, I see it spreading nationally. Just like with the end of the prohibition and raise in the drinking age. Reasons become justified later in time and the world changes. Embrace it rather than living in fear of it all.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] edableshoe [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] King Dutchy [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] edableshoe I'm on the same side.[/quote]You're not on my side if you post a paragraphs that imply that you disagree with me. Sorry.[/quote]I'm sure you've heard about something called "politics." You see, in politics, there is one goal, and the disagreement comes from how we achieve that common goal. What you and I have here is a disagreement on a singular goal. If you live in America, you are not on different teams if you are for different parties, you just disagree on the means to a common goal. So, in turn, you and I are not on different teams, so to speak. I would love to talk about this stuff here, but why the hell would I rush it? No need to push, I can wait, and it isn't all that big of a deal, because I know that there are probably only a handful of users on here worth talking to about this topic. You seem to want something, and want it now, using argumentative fallacies to criticize a system you don't quite understand. I tell you of your argument's flaw, a more correct method of approach, and a resolution that would produce the common goal. You take that personally, and return ad hominem. And here we are, a couple post later, you claiming we are on different sides.[/quote]I don't think you understand. I have severe ADD. It's very difficult for me to interpret what you are trying to say when you post a terribly formatted post when you say you disagree with me, then agree with me, then disagree with me. That already makes it difficult for me to read and I completely lose interest in what you have to say. Then when the first thing I see in that post is "You have absolutely no knowledge of politics". You give the impression that the rest of your post is full of false accusations about me, so I lose interest in what you have to say and I just skim down through the rest of your post. I think I saw something about you trying to explain to me what an Argumentum Ad Hominem Fallacy was. I know exactly what a fallacy is. I'm familiar with Ad Hominems, Populams, Consequentums, sequiturs, and all the others. But I don't know because I didn't read your post. All I got from skimming through your post is that you think I'm 12. Stop it. I'm sorry, but you need to either change the ways you organize the information in your posts, or either stop replying to me. It's super inconvenient for me, and it's annoying. If I am annoyed, there's a good chance I'll just use subtle Ad Hominems until you actually post something that's not annoying me. EDIT: Now I look like a hypocrite, My post is terrible. Here's the short version of the post: "I'm mentally retarded." Now I'm feeling depressed. I hate you. [Edited on 11.08.2012 1:32 PM PST]
