That was not what I was referring to. Go back and re-read the thread, or perhaps read some older threads that people have posted here and you might actually know what I'm talking about. As of now, you don't. IP: Logged |

I understand what you're talking about and it's still not valid. Why should it matter what someone says that may be sensitive to you? No ones personally digging and yet someone takes offense to it. That's that person's own personal problem then. IP: Logged |

I did not say that anyone was personally digging, although the opinions being expressed here will feel hurtful and harsh to the people who are concerned for their loved ones. People whose lives have been and are being directly affected by the laws that we are talking about, and are reading this. I also did not say that anyone is taking offense to what people are saying. They might be, but I haven't noticed any fist fights. It's simply a sensitive topic for more than a few people on this forum, and I suggested that people keep that in mind. IP: Logged |

There have been many other subjects that have been just as sensitive, do those not matter now? Just this one. It just goes to show the seriousness of drugs and that the law is correct. IP: Logged |

I also have had family affected by it and I've never budged on how I feel about it. The law is the law regardless of how sensitive people feel. No one ever asks if a person were a junkie yet that person always feels the need to bring it up. That's their own personal problem. IP: Logged |

There have been other topics that have been sensitive to others, and when people become belligerent, they're asked to calm down. No one is being belligerent here, but again. It's a sensitive topic, so I suggest that people tread gently. I don't agree with you. You can repeat yourself as much as you'd like to, but you're not going to change anyone's mind here.

I'm not trying to change your mind here. I simply suggested that people be a little more considerate of how other people might be feeling, as they have loved ones who are in prison right now based on the laws that we're talking about. Keep your opinions, you're entitled to them. I don't expect you to change them, and it's no concern of mine if you do or don't. IP: Logged |

No one here should have to watch what they say because someone has a father, uncle, mother, aunt, etc in prison. Like I don't? That was their choice not mine or anyone else's. People aren't sensitive to others feelings, why change now because drugs are added to the mix. It's a person choice to ignore things or react to them. Doesn't mean I'm wrong or anyone else is wrong because that person is "sensitive."IP: Logged |

I don't agree that people aren't always sensitive to the feelings of others. It really depends on the topic. And yes, having relatives in prison can often be very traumatizing for people. Whether that's the case for you or not, I have no idea. When it's a very sensitive subject, I personally believe that people should try to be a bit more selective about how they word things.

Why should I or anyone else be selective in our wording or what we say because it may offend someone? A person being sensitive to what is said is their own personal problem not mine or anyone else's. IP: Logged |

My kids are in a world where you guys are promoting the use of narcotics. In the case of Mr. Tyler, the distribution of narcotics. I object vehemently to any activity that is against the law, whether federal, state or municipal. If you live in Colorado or Washington, DC, then I have nothing to object to because it is the law of that jurisdiction. Even then, drugs remain soundly against federal law. Even the President is not above the law. To change federal laws requires passage through the legislative branch. As a United States citizen, I have taken the Oath of Allegiance and have sworn to uphold the United States Constitution and defend the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I take my vows extremely seriously and will act to incapacitate all who violate the Constitution. The law is easy to understand and needs no interpretation. Drugs - including weed - are illegal and against federal law. You will not infringe on the law or trample on the rights of my family. I don't care about BS like sensitivity or being sensitive.

That actually made me laugh a little bit, thanks for that. Feel free to say whatever is on your mind without being selective with your wording. I encourage you to do so. IP: Logged |

You know exactly what I meant and what context I meant. See it's people like you who preach one thing and find it funny in putting another person down. You obviously have some serious issues. IP: Logged |

You're just making me laugh harder. Thank you. Project much? By the way. Expect people to treat you the way that you treat them. You'll get what you pay for. IP: Logged |

I do practice what I preach. If you're offended because I'm laughing at the things you're saying, that's your problem, not mine. Clearly you have some serious issues. See how that works? IP: Logged |

HAhahahahaha the only person who's reacting and is offended and hurt is you. You keep coming back and coming back. It's clear in what you wrote and how you wrote it that you're irritated. You don't offend me. You amuse me. You're how old again Violets? Stop being all butthurt and accept that the law is the law. IP: Logged |

Sooo instead of continuing to address me go address YTA who is still commenting please. You're how old? You're disagreeing to disagree. I guess never being able to move on is another Pisces trait. IP: Logged |

I could say the same about you. I have nothing to say to YTA that would be in any way productive for anyone at this point, and on this topic. So I am choosing to be selective with what I say, and say nothing. IP: Logged |

I would say that you have a longstanding history of this type of thing here, so I would be more inclined to say that it's a Barbiegirl trait. But good luck projecting your behavior onto others. IP: Logged |

He and I are saying the exact same thing just he's including his family. You're "picking" with me just to pick. IP: Logged |

Exactly. He is including his family in what he is talking about, so I am being a bit more selective about what I say for a number of reasons that have to do with that. Also, he is simply repeating himself about the law, which is not what I was trying to discuss. IP: Logged |
