    You don't have anything period.
    It doesn't have to be from Beijing. Indeed, I would call it suspect if it were. And surprised that they would be interested enough in US youth to give a flying ****.

    I have been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, and secondary problems of ADHD, Social Anxiety(probably a result of Asperger Syndrome), and mild depression. I do think I honestly have ADHD.

    Vyvanse helps me, Adderall really didn't.

    Of course there are those who do and those who do not, that's exactly what i'm saying. But it shouldn't be that way, law should be respectable. Laws should reflect the watt people live, not try and shape how people live. When a law opposes how people actually live, it creates discontent and disrespect for the law in people. If you fail to see that this its happening presently, then you are out of touch. And did you know that the world and its people actually exist, and its not just a bunch of figures and statistics on your computer screen?

    I wasn't serious about the Beijing thing, I was making fun of you.


    Of course there are serious cases, buy three vast majority aren't, and that usually correlates with Adderall prescriptions.

    Let people have their drugs. Controlling dangerous substances is significantly more costly than not. But just because they're legally allowed to have drugs doesn't mean that we have to treat them as intelligent or respectable human beings, or as men at all. The trash of society will not cease being the trash of society if littering is made legal.

    If I recall Kali was the one who called drug users to be weaker willed.

    It's got nothing to do with masculinity. For someone so interested in gender and sex, you fail to recognize the basic semantic meaning of fundamental terms. Man does not simply mean male.

    Fucking this. A lot of the problems with kids these days are a result of their diets. Parents need to fucking feed their kids properly, your dad sounds like a pretty cool guy.

    You speak some truth, but the reasoning is wrong.
    Some people like to molest little children. Its part of their lives. Why does society make laws to prevent this?

    Laws are made reflecting what should be. A world in which people don't kill one another. A world where people are treated fairly. A world in which people are honest, true, and just.

    And a world in which we live as we are, not create an articial reality in which we do well on a test one day and do poorly on a test the next by virtue of some mind-altering substance that we eat. Not a world where we live ignoring the pain and sufferings of others so that we can find some temporary and addicting reprieve from our responsibilites. Not a world where we live day to day craving a bit of leaf or powder every moment of our lives.

    In a perfect world, laws would be no more than laughable words on paper that serve only as mirrors of what is.

    People make laws so that they can remember and remind others where they are supposed to be; what they are striving for. Are there injust laws? Of course. There are injust laws just as there are injust people who make them. The respectability of a law is a reflection only of whether you believe in the purpose of that law. No law is without purpose. Sometimes it is an unacceptable purpose, but it still has a purpose.

    I have seen no reasonable reason that the purpose of the laws that incriminate the creation, sale, purchese, or use of certain drugs are beyond the public interest.

    So what are you doing now that Asperger is no longer considered a mental disorder? Are you just autistic now?

    Everyone has something wrong with them and thinks they're somehow special for it. Including me with my asthma.

    There was a tooth growing up into my sinus. I think that makes me pretty special.

    You are despicable.
    Because molestation is a crime, it has a victim. Don't try and equate child rape with drug use, that's disgusting. Why does society make laws to prevent drug use?
    The problem with that is painfully obvious. People disagree on what "should be", and, in this case specifically, brands a significant amount of people who have victimized nobody as criminals. Is that what should be?
    Stop bringing up crimes such add murder and rape as if that's what we are talking about. Its s disgusting attempt at an argument.
    As if drug laws create that. That is exactly what I aim for.

    Those people will fail without having to be arrested, but the majority of them won't. Your laws protecting people from themselves server only to make their lives even worse, and that is in no way just.
    What are you talking about? Ignoring the pain and suffering of others?
    Also, what's that, people are addicted to drugs? Well send them to jail, then!

    .... Okay...

    Not everybody wants what you want, and you shouldn't punish them for it.

    Alright, but that doesn't change anything.

    Then you are blind.

    It is remarkable how often this is the case.
    And why are you quoting me from another thread. What's this nonsense about?
