Congratulations! I could hear the audible pop when you pulled you head out from here, Sheriff.

Sincerest thanks for the John Dean link:
Understanding the Contemporary Republican Party:
Authoritarians Have Taken Control.

Altemeyer’s findings, explaining that his empirical testing revealed “that authoritarians are frequently enemies of freedom, antidemocratic, anti-equality, highly prejudiced, mean-spirited, power hungry, Machiavellian, and amoral.”

Yikes, Professor Altemeyer doesn’t come out and say it, nor does John Dean, but these people have little conscience. Their heads are disconnected from their hearts.

“there are no truly opposing views on this website. All the arguments that I have seen come from the left side of the spectrum.”

Hasty generalization; seeing I tend to be as conservative as a duck’s ass in a windstorm on many issues–mainly those relating to adhering to the principles of constitutional structure. You know, separation of powers, Article IV’s guarantee of a republican form of government — all those good things that the last administration pissed on.

“There are no right wingers in here and I must say too bad for them and actually too bad for this web site. You think we are all low brow bottom dwelling scumbag, nazi…”

If by “Nazi” you mean “Authoritarian”, allow me to clarify by stating that the Republican Party has been co-opted by Authoritarians who thence ran the government like certain authoritarians of the past; e.g. Nazis.

I have to agree with your analysis of Rand. Were she published today, her imprint would be “Harlequin”. Most likely, she’d have had to self-publish.

I already stated that I read ALL of Ayn Rand’s books when I was a teen. Her concepts are unworkable and childish. Their ultimate end would be in a thug society run by the people with the best weapons.
Rand knew nothing of human nature, was psychologically warped and a sexual predator to boot. Anyone foolish enough to try to build a philosophy around Rand’s ideas is delusional, whether or not they have a Phd. Her childhood of privilege in Russia was interrupted by their revolution and she spent the rest of her life viewing the world through that perspective. Her only saving grace was a movie based on her book “The fountainhead” and that was mainly because Gary Cooper, Patricia Neal and Raymond Massey were great actors. The plot for both movie and book is fantastical and ludicrous.

However, I’m only responding to you because I had you pegged from your first post as an Objectivist wannabee and you spent many more posts lying about a fact so obvious from your writing. You are trying to adapt now to a more reasonable personna, but you have spread enough invective and ignorance around here to have shown there is nothing to be gained by us continually exposing your ignorance. There is not even any slapdown satisfaction to be gained because refuting you is like the proverbial “shooting ducks in a barrel.”

finally, the only real umbrage I take with you is your ongoing repetition of the false faux conservative meme that people who believe in human rights, the constitution and intellectual freedom are un-American elitists. The truth is that you represent those who do not believe in the tenets of our country and who like Bush, Cheney, Rice and Rumsfeld are the ultimate anti-Americans. That you alluded to being paid to do this, even if in weak sarcasm, is an admission to lacking integrity and ethics. That of course would make you a mainstream faux conservative.

I’m not doing your homework or showing you proofs. It’s established one of us has research skills and the other hasn’t. BTW, you continually addressing me directly? It only shows me how throughly beaten and discredited you are. You keep barking and wetting yourself at my feet like a puppy who hasn’t learned who the bigger dogs are despite getting stomped repeatedly by alphas. Including traditional conservative alphas. Why would I care about a critique of either my person or reason from someone like YOU? You have lots of opinion, most of which backed by little, none or poor reasoning and/or no or a significantly distorted factual basis. Your lack of research on most topics is self-evident. As with any OPINION, the source must be considered. Right now, my cat’s opinions rank far higher than yours or any member of the Bush administration. And speaking of poor reasoning and research, learn the definition of “apologist”. Neither the left nor traditional conservatives need to apologize for war crimes and treason. That seems to be YOUR job, Neocon. I’ve already stated I consider you and those like you a cancer on society. Not just American society either, but all of humanity.

Enjoy being a blight. The rest of us are working just as fast as we can to remove you and your Neocon type from political process and marginalizing you as a group by exposing your true nature – the second being a task which you are TOTALLY helping us with by being perpetually discredited and exposed as an evil lying myopic distortionist propaganda troll.

Thanks for helping us, your enemy, the people of reason and conscience from both the Left and the Right.

where did you ste.. er gather that information from?.

I can just picture you, a little guy 5-6″ maybe 5-9″ in your platform shoes. Probably were a little putz when you were young so people did not relate well to you and you were angry over the slights or maybe you grew up poor and the rich kids didnt want to hang out with you.

So you sit at your computer racing around the internet finding all of this information and then rearange it and put it out there as your own so people will think you are some intellectual god. sheeit Buddha have you ever had an original thought?

FFLEO:

what part of what I said dont you understand? Quit being an apologist for the left, this site is a cesspool of intellectual thought. They all wonder why I sound like I do, well I am just returning the bs.

My apologies I found the quote and you are correct you did not say the right eats babies.

“As far as Rudy’s wanting the rich to literally eat the poor in Manhattan, that’s already been done figuratively. However, in Rudy’s case I think it might be the blood, rather than the flesh he is after”

There is a whole school of philosophy that is growing around her ideas. I know you are an old timer and would not be aware of that. but a place for you to start would be a Dr. Tara Smith and her book Normative Ethics.

I believe they call Atlas Shrugged “Romantic Fiction”. But understandably you would not be interested having had a diet of Vonnegut and Kerouac, both of whom are intellectual giants.

The sport’s national governing body also cut off its financial support to Phelps for the same three-month period, effective Thursday.

“This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero,” the Colorado-based federation said in a statement.

“Michael has voluntarily accepted this reprimand and has committed to earn back our trust.” End Quote}

sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=ap-phelpssuspended&prov=ap&type=lgns

Agreed. He’s a exceptional athlete and seems like a good kid (I blame his mom ). That this could cast doubt to his future performance is indeed that saddest part of this situation. I hope he does decide to compete in 2012.

Thank you for your effort. Mr. Phelps is an exceptional athlete. I prefer not watching him interfere with his talent and raise questions about if he is using undetectable performance-enhancing drugs in future swimming events.

You guys owe me a check for that.

Any cogent rebuttals are welcome.

I’m not arguing there are NO deleterious effects. Smoking is a bad habit period. But it does have less carcinogens than tobacco ESPECIALLY after the tobacco companies get done with their “enhancement”. I’m pretty sure you won’t find a lot of pot adulterated like cigarettes. The end users wouldn’t tolerate it and many who smoke pot don’t smoke cigarettes – they are different smoking sensations.

For example, the American Tobacco Company, Brown and Williamson, Liggett Group, Inc., Philip Morris Inc. and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company ALL admit to adding the following substances to tobacco to “enhance flavor and burning” . . . and also to make them taste like ass if you put one out and try to relight it so you buy more.

Of these, many are ciliotoxic (harmful to bacteria – like Hydrogen Cyanide), carcinogenic (like Hydrazine), both (like Formaldehyde) or are co-carcinogenic promoters (like almost all of the Benzine compounds). And the stuff that’s not toxic per se? I’m pretty sure nature would have included those in tobacco if they were meant to be there.

Another more practical reduction of risk is quite simply most could not smoke nearly the same quantity of marijuana as tobacco. Not and be able to get off the couch, speak without laughing uncontrollably, or be able to stay awake very long (but I’m getting to that). In addition, you generally do not have to smoke as much to get the narcotic effect. Both tobacco and marijuana carry narcotic compounds, namely nicotine and THC.

Let’s talk toxicity. Toxicity is often talked about in terms of lethal doses to half the test population, annotated LDsub50, the median lethal dose. Don’t forget nicotine is a stimulant. It can kill you with as little as 40–60 mg (0.5-1.0 mg/kg). While it’s impossible to give yourself nicotine poisoning by smoking alone, if you were dumb enough to chew gum, wear patches and puff away? You could do it. I’ll use rats as models as THC testing on humans has generally been forbidden. These numbers come from oral ingestion. In rats, the lethal dose of nicotine is 50 mg/kg, much like in humans. The LDsub50 is the same for both sexes. In rats, the lethal dose of THC, marijuanas active ingredient (a mild analgesic and euphoric of unidentified mechanism) is 1,270 mg/kg in males and 730 mg/kg in females. That’s 25-26 times LESS toxic than nicotine in males and 14-15 times less toxic in females (difference due to body mass). If you extrapolate these numbers out to human scale, you’d have to smoke 1500 pounds of pot in 15 minutes to reach median toxicity. I’ve met some heavy smokers, but that’s just not happening. Combined with effective dosage information, THC has a 1000:1 safety ratio or in other words the lethal does is 1000 times the effective dose. Compare this to alcohol (10:1), cocaine (15:1) and heroin (6:1).

This means as far as toxicity goes, marijuana is 100 times safer than booze, 67 times safer than cocaine and 167 times safer than heroin. Yet I can go buy a pack of Pall Mall unfiltered and a gallon of Ripple and not have to travel two blocks.

No, smoking pot IS bad for you. Smoking ANYTHING is bad for you. I won’t argue that and that’s why I say children should be kept from ALL drugs. But health-wise? Marijuana is safer and probably better for you than the “socially acceptable” drugs of alcohol and tobacco.

and then you have Buddha calling for the extermination of all people on the right (of opposing views), that’s egalitarian? And JT amking similar comments about Rudy G. and Marie A. and MikeS saying the right eats babies or some such thing. And you think I would entertain this as something to think about. Its entertaining and once in awhile a gold nugget emerges from the horses rectum so it is not a total waste of time.

I stand by what I said, there are no truly opposing views on this website. All the arguments that I have seen come from the left side of the spectrum. While I do admit it has certainly given me things to think about and following Buddhas, MikeS and MikeA when they leave a URL has been interesting, the majority of the thought is from the left. There are no right wingers in here and I must say too bad for them and actually too bad for this web site.

You think we are all low brow bottom dwelling scumbag, nazi baby killers. I see all manor of right wing thought dismissed because the perception is that it is from the right and we are all just shy of Neanderthal on the evolutionary scale, maybe equal to austrolopithicus. MikeS thinks that Ayn Rands’ ideas are from out in the shit house and MikeA is lecturing me about Just War theory but probably not reading a link I posted on just that topic from a different point of view.

All I hear is waterboarding is torture and to oppose that proposition means I am a NAZI. Even though a friend is a Marine Lt. Col and has been waterboarded as part of his training, he said while inducing panic it was, in his view, not torture. I would have been shot by someone on this web site had they been in front of me at the time. And talk about illegal wars, the military actually calls the war against Yugoslavia the War of the Blue Dress. The idea of sending young men to die for a seeman stained dress is morally bankrupt at least Bush had 9/11. I bet some on this web site actually think it was manufactured by Bush/Chaney for some grand geopolitical ploy.

So please dont lecture me on opposing points of view, I have probably spent more time than most people on this web site looking at your opposing points of view. the only thing I agree with is legalizing drugs and its your body do what you want with it but I thought that way before I arrived here.

Quite frankly I havent read one thing that would change my mind on anything. This site is nothing more than Buddhas personal forum from the left. JT ought to change the name to Buddhas Lively Banter

We do not disagree to the extent you think. Sans addiction, explain to me why pot smoke in someone’s lungs is not harmful and why you are not concerned about the deleterious effects of the absorbed chemicals that course through the blood of a pot smoker’s body.

Hey, do not worry about typos, especially within a long post. We all know you are a good writer.

Contrary to most people’s beliefs addiction in all its’ forms is a major mental illness. We need to be clear though that addiction is very different from recreational use. This is what often gets overlooked in the discussion. Someone with an addictive personality can and does get addicted to almost everything, including as we now know to binge eating and/or purging. It has little to do with lack of will and much to do with serious mental disturbance. Sadly, with the best candidates, in the best circumstances, perhaps a third are able to throw off its effect. The rest are caught in a vicious cycle that has them being clean at times, but without lasting sobriety.

Given this in my opinion the entire War on Drugs concept, in tandem with idea’s like “just say no” are farces perpetrated on the American public, by phony politico’s, some of whom get money and support from large scale dealers. Others use the “War On Drugs” as a campaign theme, because it sells. Decriminalization in some form is the way to go, providing it is backed up by sponsorship of programs that can help those with a will to quit.
Addicts should be treated like those with disabilities, because in truth they are.

Now as far as marijuana goes, contrary to popular wisdom it is far more benign in its’ effects than alcohol and cigarettes. There are also proven physical benefits to it. While it is true that the addictive personality can be addicted to anything, think glue sniffers for instance, marijuana addiction is almost non-existent.
As a child of the 60′s my drug experimentation was wide ranged and at times prolific. I was never addicted to any legal, or illegal drug save one. Since the age of 17 until my retirement, I had only once been out of work for two months at age 59. For many years I also practiced psychotherapy as a second job and had earned Masters and post Master degrees. That was with smoking grass every day between the ages of 17 and 37. With the arrival of my first child I stopped smoking pot because my responsibility as a parent came first and I didn’t want it affecting my parenting.

Nevertheless, since the age of 14 until the age of 61 I was an addict to a perfectly legal drug, cigarettes. While there were two points during this time when I gave up cigarettes for 3 years at a time resuming my addiction was as easy as taking my first puff, an addict by definition. Interestingly, while I gave up smoking pot and using other drugs at 37, I also had my first heart attack at that age. I continued to smoke through two other attacks and only gave it up when I developed congestive heart failure. That is what addiction is about and there was my craziness. I was a 2 pack per day smoker.

This is the point of all my self confession. We are allowing the most addictive and probably lethal drugs to be sold over the counter. Alcohol addiction too is just as bad physically and socially as heroin addiction, we’ve got a lot less Heroin addicts and yet it remains legal because we have found Prohibition to be a failure. It is high time to take the example of our discovery in the early 20th century and bring it up to date. I believe that we will actually save lives in the process and reduce the rates of addiction.

It is axiomatic that the temptation of the organized criminal element to dominate an illegal enterprise is the same as in any business: profit. You want the bad players removed? Remove the excess profit motive. A profit inflated by illegality as illegality is a direct impact to supply. You remove the motive, the criminals will move on to find something else to behead people for. Is that not the lesson of Prohibition? Alcohol became legal and the same criminal element responsible for bootlegging moved in to drugs (and other rackets) for the profit. It is well established that this was met with resistance, especially in the Sicilian families, for reasons which seem almost like ethics. It was only after it became apparent that huge profits were to be made that they finally moved to selling not just the innocuous marijuana, but the more socially damaging and physiologically addicting drugs like heroin and cocaine. Marijuana has no physically addictive properties. It can be psychologically addictive, but so can football. In fact, for many years before it was criminalized it was widely used as medicine and continues to be used so today. Lumping it in with substances like heroin or cocaine is disingenuous and inaccurate – especially considering industries role in keeping it illegal. DuPont can’t sell nylon if you can make rope out of hemp and it was DuPont pushing the criminalization in the first place. Depriving people of medicine, as well as a chemical recreation that results in less violence than alcohol (on a per capita basis), jailing thousands and thousands for a victimless crime all to make profit is simply wrong minded especially in light of what Prohibition showed is a futile effort. A certain percentage of people just want to get “high” even if it means spinning around in the yard until they pass out. And if you make spinning illegal, someone will set up “Spin Dens”. It’s human nature.

Coca plants won’t grow here. If you grew enough opium poppies to run production, it’d be pretty easy to spot. Both of these drugs bases deserve far more attention, attention that is currently misdirected to a far less harmless drug, a drug that is demonstrably less damaging and more social than alcohol. I’ve never been punched by a stoner. Ever. I’ve had drunks break pool cues over my back though. And let’s be adults: booze and smokes ARE drugs and probably worse if not as “bad” as marijuana physically. Socially there is no comparison: pot’s the better drug. Yes, driving under the influence of ANY drug, including many prescription drugs, should be kept illegal. It’s a common sense safety issue. And yes, drug enforcement overall is an important issue not just legally but sociologically as well. But if you’re swinging at the wrong ball, you’ll never hit one out of the park.

Make marijuana legal and tax it just like smokes and beer. Tax the Hell out of it. People would pay $25 bucks a pack for joints that costs even less than tobacco to manufacture and $22 per pack could be tax revenue. Even the tobacco companies get by on that. Why do you think every single one of them has packaging and advertising designed and sitting in a cabinet waiting for legalization/decriminalization? The plants are weeds, they will grow in places you can’t grow much anything else and they grow faster than tobacco plants. They’ll make a fortune. A fortune which in turn can be taxed, something that can’t be said of criminal gains.

Make importing either cocaine or opiates a capitol offense or punishable by life w/o chance of parole. Make penalties for distribution domestically nearly as harsh. Being an addict though is not a criminal issue, it’s a health issue and should be treated as such. If we were to adopt this model, we’ll increase our tax base while offsetting the losses to “the prison industry” (revolting concept) and ensure the right criminals are removed from play so they CAN’T move on to the “next big thing”. At the same time we remove the stigma of what is an increasingly acceptable drug. A drug our sitting President admits to having used. And despite what anyone reading this thinks, I promise you know a pot smoker and probably several. ALL OF YOU. And it’s not the obvious stoner wastoids I’m talking about either. Odds are that they are just as productive and peaceful a citizen as the next guy sitting at the bar next to you and maybe more so. They are people you probably like, trust and respect. You just don’t know they smoke pot. Part of this acceptance comes from experience. People who have smoked pot and tried other substances KNOW the government is lying about the “danger” of marijuana. Honestly, if it were legal, I’d never smoke a cigarette again.

I suspect we’ll disagree on this.

Perhaps the best answer is to let people obtain the drugs through more reputable sources. I’m sure we’re all aware enough of history to have learned our lessons from Prohibition.

By using illegal drugs, U.S. citizens are perpetuating the impetus for these crimes. Mr. Phelps has the opportunity to become an exceptional hero for our youth—sorely needed nowadays—and heroes should be as upstanding as possible; not perfect, although not affected by illegal drugs. Mr. Phelps possibly recognized this by his admission of guilt and sincere apology. A small misdemeanor fine and community service—for the public record and as a deterrent—are both appropriate.

Is crime non-existent in Richland County?
********

No, but high profile crime is!

Right you are. Bron98 et als are why children are never to be invited to attend adult dinner parties. After the precociousness wears off, you have nothing left but irritating, mindless chatter interrupting intelligent conversation along with interminable breaks while the adults take time to correct the kids’ antics. Folks like Bron98 have their place, but I would limit them to interacting on X-box 360′s or some other mindless contraption.

Debating and endeavoring to consider all of the contrary evidence is the way I conducted my collateral careers. Any professional scientist, critical thinker, logician, or anyone else who treasures unbiased reasoning, and who has a sense of humor and wit, would enjoy this blawg. This forum is especially interesting because several attorneys take time to deliberate legal issues. A good lawyer is similar to a competent scientist in that both professionals give as much weight to their adversaries’ arguments as to their own. That way they learn the weaknesses of their own—perhaps biased and flawed—arguments, amend the logic, remove the logical fallacies, and then use that knowledge to bolster their positions to garner a favorable ruling or resolve a scientific incongruity.

People such as you ruin the continuity of thought and add nothing but illogical noise to every thread. Even before I read your comment about me, I thought of a caricature of you as an intellectually underdeveloped streaker running around the lecterns during a learned debate. There would be no laughter from the deliberators, only disgust and contempt for your disruptive display of low self-esteem and mental inadequacies.

Relevant, logical refutations are always welcome; illogical, irrelevant nonsense is most unwelcome.

Your development is stagnating here.
Cultivate your hemorrhoidal magic where it’s appreciated.

It’s funny.

An analysis of your “style”, such as it is, tends to support Patty’s theory as to your identity. Methinks thou doth protest too much. And too poorly.

I am not Parsnips, nor Rumplestilskin, or Bartlebe, I am simply me.
I have used a couple of other names such as We98 and WeeWenYu98 but I figured even you all would figure that out.

Basically this site is one sided except for FFLEO and he is just your pet Troll. It is actually getting pretty boring the analysis is all the same, from the left and as much as I hate to say it if it wasnt for Buddha and MikeS (and MikeA once in awhile), this would be a dead zone or a bozone.

His plan from the start was to launch a ‘debate’ site with selected ‘turlees’ as ‘judges’.

Instead, he keeps managing to get himself booed off the blog over his infuriating nitpicking, which he, alone, characterizes as ‘debate’, only to return a few weeks later under a new alias.

It would be sad, if it wasn’t so funny.

“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.” Sir Isaac Newton, letter to Robert Hooke, February 5, 1675.

“If you are going to be a whore….” I appreciate the honesty. Very refreshing.

I like the one as follows:

Woman says to Churchill if you were my husband I would give you poison and Churchill says if you were my wife I would drink it.

Well I least I get paid to post irratating/irrational comments. If you are going to be a whore for someone you might as well be paid for it.

“At a dinner party one night, a drunken Churchill asked an attractive woman whether she would sleep with him for a million pounds. “Maybe,” the woman said coyly. “Would you sleep with me for one pound?” Churchill then asked. “Of course not, what kind of woman do you think I am?” the woman responded indignantly. “Madam, we’ve already established what kind of woman you are,” said Churchill, “now we’re just negotiating the price.”
