Uh oh, THIS thread again: legalization of drugs

[London]

I guess since a child's "right" to lucid and effective parents isn't enunciated in the Constitution you support parents getting high?

No. I support their right to make their own decisions about their health.

If you had ever seen a neglected child of druggie parents, you wouldn't be so quick to call drug use a "victimless" crime.

Because keeping drugs illegal has really improved parenting in this country...

Allow me to be the first then. It's inalienable. It's inherent in our humanity. You have no real authority over other human beings, only God does.

PS - The Constitution doesn't give us rights. It protects rights that are given to us by our Creator. That means these rights apply to every human being on earth, whether or not they've fought to throw off their oppressors and exercise them in the place where they live.

ETA: Read the Book of Samuel if you want to know what our Creator thinks about governments.

Look, MH, I have respect for you. I believe in inalienable rights, given by God. At the end of the day, you are saying you have a God given right to get high, which is in contradiction to several passages in the Bible.

Have a nice thread, guys.

:P

That's not exactly what I'm saying. I'm saying you don't have the right stop someone from doing it.

Two very different things.

No disrespect meant to you either. I'm just adamant that no one has the right to tell others how to live their lives until it harms someone else. Preventative laws such as these prosecute people for things they might do.

It's the same reason I don't think seatbelts should be required.

Everyone will have a day of real judgment, and it won't be by other men.
