Papist Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I believe there are valid reasons to outlaw alcohol. It would be to my disliking, but I would not resist or complain. I'd move on. Alcohol is not a necessity for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kujo Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 [quote name='Jesus_lol' timestamp='1311407113' post='2274266'] well, would you want to outlaw alcohol? seriously, all your arguments lead that way, yet you seem to resist the idea.

[/quote] Re-read this thread. Several people listed the reasons. Also, I am not advocating outlawing. I was answering a direct question, which did not include a proof why it should be outlawed. Why you being so hostile? Edited July 23, 2011 by Papist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happen to think you're pretty cool, even if I don't agree with your use of analogies. No beef here, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus_lol Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 you seem to be rather politically conservative, why would you bend so easily to the federal government imposing a largescale ban on something like beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The argument, I believe, resides somewhere in the "necessary and proper" clause. But, remember--the Constitution had to be [i]amended[/i] in order to grant the federal government the power to outlaw alcohol. Then it had to be [i]re-amended[/i] in order to remove that power from them. I don't see why the same doesn't apply to marijuana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I don't have any allegiance to any political party. I go by faith and reason. I don't see it as imposing if there is sound reason ti do so. However, putting the pros and cons on paper is different than knowing/predicting reality and the long term impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
