sixpence Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 i think the answer was: Don't like murder? Don't do it. With most of these things people assume that they harm no one (except maybe the person doing them); and that is not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groo the Wanderer Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 anyone can claim something is a right. anyone can twist words around to make anything an infringement on their perceived rights. "It is my right to breathe clean air. As such it is an infringement upon my rights for 500 lb women to wear spandex jogging suits to work or for 500 lb men to wear speedos while trimming the shrubs in front of their houses. All the resultant retching pollutes the air, which takes away my rights, disenfranchises me, and forces me to accidentally vote for Pat Buchanan again." or....'because marshmallows don;t have bones, that's why' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyAnn Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 People like to claim drug use is a victimless crime - tell that to the people who have their lives ruined because of it, to the people who lost loved ones to it, to the countries that are ravaged because some dumb teenager wants to get high. Now try talking about taking away people's rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
