Your brain seems to have sprung a sprocket. If continual posting of your drivel makes you feel better, by all means please keep on posting. If the process keeps you at your keyboard and not on the streets beating homeless men, then by all means I support your efforts. Let me be the first to congratulate you for your effort! you get a D- for argument, but an A+ for effort! Please keep on.

Quote from Haroki:

Funny, I just got done with jury duty today where we convicted a pot grower. He'll get a few I guess. He was in his late 50's, with photos from 25 years ago standing amongst and working in a pot field.

And we discussed whether or not WE were going to ruin his life, or if was doing it to himself. It didn't bother anyone that he basically f'ed himself. He appeared to be out of it for 20 yeares but picked it up again after a divorce.

Oh well...

Sorry to hear that but admition of the problem is the first step to recovery. What I said about you in my previous post (see the quote below) is absolutely applicable to the entire libertarian movement:

Facts, stats, or research - that's found on the web - and therefore 'proves' ones' point..... LOL.

Ask yourself this - if I was to post a link that shows 'proof' to a position I was advocating, would you change your mind and agree with me ? Of course not, no more than I agree with anything you post....

So what's the point of showing you ? In my opinion, there's none. That's why I don't bother.

I would rather just state what I have to say and be done with it.

Hello...

Well, that's where I part with the Libertarian Party...

As a Libertarian, I'm FREE to do that, correct ?

Sure, you're free to be a prohibitionist, anti-liberty libertarian.

...and I'm a Laissez-faire Communist.

Actually, I always have identified with the Libertarians more than the Reps. About the only place I disagreed with the policies was the drug issue.

Other than that, works for me...

You my stubborn opinionated friend read and weep:

Alcohol Destroying Rural Russia

"Alcoholism poses as much a national health crisis in Russia today as it did during the Soviet Unionâs early 1980s, when up to 2 of every 5 men were considered alcoholics.
...
Alcohol poisoning kills an estimated 40,000 Russians each year, compared with just 400 Americans annually."
http://www.mosnews.com/commentary/2005/12/15/alcoholism.shtml

You said before that "During Soviet times, the data the government HAD was accurate", right? So how about 40% alcoholism among russian men in the 80s? Then again those are facts so you may safely ignore them as you always do.

Not ignoring that at all. I completely agree with those statistics. During Soviet times, alcohol was an enormous problem and that stat was dead on, in my opinion. But we're talking about nowadays. Alcohol kills an estimated 40,000 people a year, that sounds about right - though there's no source quoted. But that's .02% of the population! Not 2%, not .2 but 2 thousandths of a percent! Whooopie!

That does not support the "Most Russians are drunks" comment I have been arguing about. So, still, you've proved nothing. Keep trying, I'll be here.

You're talking to the guy who "proved", through research, that Hobbits live in Russia for heaven's sake.
