Let's replace the "marijuana" with "alcohol" and see how the sentence plays. Are you implying that pilots, bus drivers, etc. don't consume alcohol? And, if they can consume it responsibly so it doesn't interfere with work then why can't the same be said for pot?
"agreed. lets legalize marijuana so all our pilots, bus drivers, train conductors, homeland security, military personell can all be stoned! id feel REALLY safe then... "
Yes, 'cause making something legal means that everyone is gonna suddenly run out and start doing it.
Oh, wait, no.. cigarettes and alcohol are both legal, yet only 16% of the world's population smokes (per this article I just looked up from May, 2008), and 5% of Americans "are dependent on alcohol" (i.e. alcoholics) [article ]
Learn to logic before you start making stupid arguments. (at least, learn to fucking Google...)
Yes, becuase it will be considered totally acceptable for them to smoke while on the job
Just like they drink on the job now, right?
Hey man, just because YOU don't have the necessary self control to understand the concept of appropriate timing, doesn't mean the rest of us should be denied the fun. Don't give the adult mashed potato just because the baby can't chew steak, man.
Right, you know, just like how all the pilots and engineers and military and doctors always go to work drunk! All of them, every day!
No, wait, that's bullshit!
No one's legalizing Marijuana, only decriminizing it. Not the same thing. It would still be a fineable offense, it'll still be restricted, you just don't go to jail for it.
Hello, DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE is a BAD IDEA! (Yes, you *can* be arrested for DUI on cold medicines or antihistamines, even.)
And when your job involves, you know, safely transporting people, I'm pretty sure NOT BEING STONED ON THE JOB is a requirement.
agreed. lets legalize alcohol so all our pilots, bus drivers, train conductors, homeland security, military personell can all be stoned! id feel REALLY safe then ... What? It's legal already? Oh ...
First of all, people with public safety positions are tested diligently for drugs. And, hate to blow a GIANT HOLE in your senseless rant, but they're even tested for alcohol. Which is already legal.
Second, I'd rather ride with a stoned airplane pilot than some death-cult fundie who WANTS to die so as to be raptured quicker.
And third, could you BE any stupider?
I never heard of anyone killing someone while stoned. I have heard plenty of such stories, however, where the person was drunk. And hell, testing, anyone
you know that being stoned impares you less than a quarter as bad as being drunk.
how much do you drink, on a weekly basis.
just asking.
That would be driving/flying/being on duty under the influence, which is illegal, just like being drunk, you dipshit.
Right, cause alcohol is legal and right now all of our "pilots, bus drivers, train conductors, homeland security, military personell" are all drunk. Makes perfect sense.
pilots, bus drivers, train conductors, homeland security, military personell perpetually drunk?
No?
Then shut up!!!
Yeah! And if alcohol were legal, all the pilots, bus drivers, soldiers etc would be drunk all the time. Oh, wait.....
I'd rather they been stoned than fucked up on prescription pain medications that so many people are addicted to these days. Seriously, you're in safer hands with a stoner than someone who has taken about five Vicodin in one day.
Oh, should I also mention that even if marijuana were decriminalized "all" of our pilots, bus drivers, etc., etc. would not be stoned. Most people who are inclined to smoke pot do so already.
You post on Rapture Ready FFS! By definition, you are never going to feel "REALLY safe", irrespective of the circumstances or situation. You are a paranoid individual who believes that the entire world is going to come to a horrible end at any moment and that your entire life is being intimately scrutinised by an omniscient, omnipresent being who is looking for the slightest excuse to inflict never ending torture upon you.
TBH, how you manage to function with that belief set running around your head baffles me. I think we should legalise Cannabis just so that you can chill out.
Yes, because when alcohol was legalised again in 1933 all our pilots, bus drivers, etc. were all drunk.
Seriously, how can someone this stupid manage to type and not die from asphyxiation due to forgetting to breathe at the same time? This has to be a Poe. I've taken shits that were more intelligent than you. Fucking imbecile.
These sound like all the sorts of people who are big on THC!
I know I'd feel safer if the American Military smoked Pot, might calm 'em down. They gets the jitters whenever they ain't involved in a war, and I'm getting nervous about Iran's viability as a target (given that it's surrounded by Afghanistan and Iraq on either side!).
Hey, I'll drink to that. It's enough that all those people are drunk all the time. Keepin' it legal.
@ Xotan
he [Bush] did absolutely nothing for 7 minutes???
The camera was turned of after 7 minutes of it. I've read (have no evidence) that the blank stare went on for about 22 minutes until somebody finally restarted him.
agreed. lets legalize alcohol, so all our pilots, bus drivers, train conductors, homeland security, military personell can all be drunk. id feel REALLY safe then...

I just changed pot to booze and even though booze is legal, I bet you still fell perfectly safe. Now you tell me what is wrong with that scenario.
Yes, continue your harsh and inconsistent criminalization so that the production of recreational narcotics is controlled by shady, amoral characters giving them limitless amounts of untraceable cash to fuel the New World Order.
#976017 makes a good point. Fundies don't believe that people are capable of self-control because of their "sin nature." Therefore the answer to drug abuse (or alcohol abuse or promiscuity, etc.) is to abstain completely and/or make it illegal. Because humans are irredeemably evil, they can't be trusted to act responsibly, therefore the fundies are trying to protect us from ourselves.
What's that great quote from Mark Sanford? "The biggest self of self is self."
Personally, I'd like to see homeland security stoned. And the meter maids, IRS agents, and DMV employees.
@JohnTheAtheist - Having also driven stoned quite a lot when I was young and stupid (I wouldn't do it now), I've had a few experiences that suggest cannabis does impair your driving ability. I don't think it affects your reflexes very much, but it does tend to dull concentration and make your mind wander, which is not a good thing when behind the wheel. I agree it does make you more paranoid about attracting attention, though, so you're less likely to break speed limits (looking back, I was incredibly lucky not to get pulled over for driving too slowly!)
I'd feel a lot safer if our pilots, bus drivers, train conductors, homeland security, military personell showed up fit for work in the morning after smoking some pot the evening before. Now they just show up with a humongous hangover and are a bit out of this world. 'Nuff said!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
