You would? Why?Dyno Spoid wrote:"I would make drugs legal..."
of course they would, after all, open source h-u-r-t-s innovation *wink* bill gates said so! (steve ballmer, i dunno. all his minion$ look the same to me)lobster wrote:They would tax penguins if they could.
yeah, but there are worse things than pot that are legal- that's where this whole idea of yours falls apart for me. i wish they'd ban bht and msg so it would be easier to find food that was safe to eat, but i can't even rely on the ingredient lists because the goverments effort to keep me safe is so incredibly inconsistant and frankly weighed towards me dying of cancer- despite the fact that i don't smoke, don't drink, and am not obese.dyno spoid wrote:the drugs that have been made illegal tend to do huge amounts of irreparable damage to the user. In many cases they are physically and mentally addictive, and I'm not sure which is worse.

Because they're convinced they should, and it's easy. Make it harder and raise the price, and Linux looks a whole lot better. Now that Apple made UNIX easy via BSD -> OS-X, companies have switched, and love the stability, lower support costs, and lower down time, which makes them more productive and customer dollars are more productive, producing a better product. Same with Puppy. Some of us have been using Linux for years, even though it wasn't as easy (at first), but the rewards were only needed a few servers which never crashed, and almost no support costs. Same with life: do drugs to escape and you'll pay the price down the road.Lobster wrote:Why do people engage in destructive behaviour (such as using Windows)? Does it help to offer alternatives?

I did pay attention to what you've said; we simply differ in opinion. If we were in China, you'd go to prison for what you said, and I'd be free--to be imprisoned by government policies concerning daily life. I'm glad we're both not there, since being human (or at least having "human rights") is criminal, and even though I disagree with you on drugs, we probably have a lot of other things in common, plus being able to differ in thought and still get along is what makes the free world great. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's a lot better than the alternative.amish wrote: i prefer to think you're simply not paying attention.
